Rinn Kamiebisu

Four (4) pillows on the bed! The room I was in had a very attractive modern design with Japanese aesthetic. It gave me the feeling of being in more than just a hotel. I did take advantage of a promotional (mid-week) deal, which made everything all the more appealing. I felt as though I was well above my usual price class. Location is in quiet residential area about 10-12 minutes walk from Kyoto train station. Closest morning eating options will be there. As long as you don't mind the morning walk .. or get breakfast supplies at konbini (hotel provides tea, coffee). Before arrival, I did wonder about the reception desk hours of noon to 9pm. It's not a 24h service hotel. But, it wasn't a problem at all. They had their system worked out and everything was explained at check-in. Also, I don't need 24h service.

This was a wonderful, budget hotel that provided exceptional value for money. Our room was small but cosy and big enough for the two of us. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There were washing machines that you could use in the hotel lobby area and this worked well for us. The rooms do not get cleaned every day but we were happy with this (1 clean if you stay 4 nights+, no clean for shorter stays). The hotel had a lovely feel and was around a 10-15 minutes easy walk from Kyoto station. There are no meal facilities but it was very easy to get to local shops and restaurants. A lovely, quiet location. We would love to go back.

- close proximity to Kyoto station (trains, subway) and multiple bus stops in the area - away from super touristy spots, so it's quiet and buses will have space on them - we had a quiet room on the top floor - room was spacious and beds were comfy - the lighting in the room is very nice, especially the dimmer light on the accent wall - staff was friendly and helpful, they held our luggage upon early arrival and after checking out for a few hours -we stayed for 6 nights and got 1 full housekeeping service in the middle of our stay - water always got hot quickly and they provided shampoos, plenty of towels, slippers and robes -there was a mini fridge in the room and the lobby has a microwave and vending machine which was handy

We stayed in the superior apartment and it was very comfortable and enough space for 4 pax (2 adults 2 teens). The bathroom is spacious, has double sinks and a separate toilet. Room is clean, provides sufficient amenities and the staff is very helpful and nice.

This was a highlight of our trip! The beds were super comfy, the staff were lovely and the neighbourhood was great. A short walk to Kyoto station with great cafes and restaurants around, but still super quiet at night! Loved having a tub to soak in after a long day of walking.
