Advantages: Location Disadvantages: uncomfortable, not very clean, dated decor
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on a short break to Kyoto when we were on holiday in Tokyo last year.
The location is excellent and is only a few minutes walk from the beautiful Gion district.
The rooms are very small but I have to say this is standard across Japan in the lower priced hotels especially in the main Cities.
The room wasn't comfortable and I wouldn't like to have stayed here for any longer than 2 nights.
The decor was very dated and there was a lack of air conditioning which wasn't much fun as it was extremely hot when we stayed there.
The room did have everything you need, it was just a little cramped and not very welcoming.
The standard of cleanliness wasn't great, it wasn't really dirty, but it certainly could have been better.
One little detail that I did like even though it is very small is that they left ...
Advantages: Great location Disadvantages: Cannot think of any
I just got back from Kyoto and I stayed one night in Hotel Alpha Kyoto. My Japanese friend booked this hotel for me from a japanese discount website and it costs us 9450 Yen for two people (which is about Ģ45). This is considered an expensive rate for this hotel because if you stay during off-peak season, you can even get a room for two without breakfast for 7000 Yen. However, I stayed here during Obon festival (peak peak period). I have checked the hotel website and the price is almost the same so that means you can book directly with the hotel to get discounted rate.
Location: Only 1 minute away from Kyotoshiyakushomae Station (this is on the subway Tozai line) or 3 minutes away from Keihan Sanjo station. If you are coming from Osaka and you did not take the shinkansen or JR train, you are definitely on Keihan line that takes you ...
Advantages: It is a fascinating city which presents many of the contrasts of Japan Disadvantages: This review is very long - but there is so much to Kyoto that I've only given you the main sites
Warning: many of you may want to scan this review, as it is far too long. Kyoto has a great deal to see though...
Kyoto gives its name to possibly Japan's most historically and culturally rich prefecture (kyoto-ken), and is contained within the Kansai region. The city itself which was then known as Heian-kyo, was used as the country's capital before Tokyo and shares this privilege with nearby Nara which predates it. Along with Osaka, Nara is also well worth a visit if you are interested in learning a little about Japan's history or seeing many of its most beautiful shrines and temples; many of which are national treasures, UNESCO sites or important cultural properties. The earthquake devastated and recently rebuilt Kobe is also an easy distance (all are reached within half ...
