Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

A short few minute walk away from Kyoto Station. Friendly staff to greet you from the moment you arrive and every time you leave and come back too. We got the three twin bed plus futon pull out room for a family of two adults and two children ages 7 and 5. It never felt too cramped or small. The hotel has laundry, complimentary drinks (coffee and juice usually) during the day. An onsite onsen was quite nice. You can check how busy it is using the TV as well. A 7-11 right across the street for easy food. A taxi service nearby in case you don't feel like taking the public transportation. The only thing I would ding it for was a bit of a lingering odd smell in the bathroom. Didn't smell bad, didn't smell great, not sure I could pin it exactly. But not a deal breaker at all. Would recommend for those that want a place close to the major station!

Very nice hotel, clean and very close to the station (but from the back of it). The staff was extremely friendly and the facility of having a coin laundry room helped a lot my family.
