Kyoto Tower Hotel

Great family room! 3 sets of bunk beds and 2 foutons. Plenty of space to spread out, the location was more than ideal for an early 6am train. Great shopping nearby. Would definitley stay again.

We stayed one night at this property. We were amazed by our room. It was so large. It had 3 bunkbeds and a long couch that could easily fit 2 more people. I think the square footage was over 800 square feet and it also included 2 bathrooms. The room was new and updated and we wished we could have stayed longer. With a family of 6 we had so much room. It wasn't cramped at all. We were surprised by how updated the room was because when you walk through the hotel corridors, it seems like it would be a dated hotel. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not. The hotel offered luggage forwarding services. We didn't have time to go up to the tower, but hoping that when we come back to visit we can go again. Very convenient location. So close to the JR Rail.

This would have to be one of the best hotel I have stayed in Kyoto. The hotel is very nice and clean. The staffs are extremely helpful, polite and professional. Area around the hotel is great. It's right in front of Kyoto bus and train station. The location was perfect for us. Lots of eatery and shopping. Most restaurants are family friendly and has variety of choices on the menu. I would definitely stay here again.

Room we were given looks different from the picture on Expedia. Toilet had a stench which everyone in the family commented on. Toilet had cracks and dirt marks. Closet had no door. Room was bare, felt more like a motel/hostel than a hotel. Male staff who checked us in at night and took in our luggage the next morning had NO SMILE throughout the entire process, and I noticed no name tag as well. All very rare in Japanese standards. This place was unfortunately the last hotel before we ended our trip in Japan. We really wish we stayed elsewhere.
