"This property is directly across from the train station so it’s a great location if you are on the go. It is further away from the main Kyoto strip that we spent most of our time. I wish I had known that before booking but otherwise it was a great stay."
"The bathroom was tiny for a room that was charged for 4 adults by the hotel. Its almost like a cruise ship bathroom with extermely poor design from the sink (practically no space to keep the stuff - you would have to hold your things and keep it outside the room) to the towel rack which is very high and directly over the toilet. No automated flush (airport have a better toilet). Curtain in the bathroom. Only one mirror outside the room by the main door and if you are getting ready - you will be hit by the door.
Also, entire hotel has "strict" directions for the guests. Don't do this or that - not treating them like adults. They replaced water bottles with an empty jug that you would have to fill out from the lounge area. Jug so poorly designed that you would likely spill water in the room.
The room should not be sold for a family of four and not charged children as adults for everything just because you are able to fit two double beds in the room.
Also, the night pyjamas are hidden in the drawer and just one long shirt (unsure if anyone wears them).
Not recommended. Staff told me this is what you would get if you want to "save" money - I was confused!"
"Our stay here exceeded our expectations. Rooms were clean, decent size, but it was the staff and amenities that made this property truely shine. The staff was extremely helpful, we didn’t expect to eat breakfast here but after trying one day, we decided to get breakfast at hotel as much as possible. Having a warm bowl of ramen at end of day was a really nice touch. The onsen was well maintained and amazing after a long day of walking. And the little touch of having free ice cream for after using onsen was especially nice. Has free washers and coin operated dryers which we did utilize. Will definitely book again on our next visit."
"Location was great. Near train station, subway, Dotonburi, eatery, etc. The property looks new, in great condition. Price was competitive plus it comes with breakfast inclusive. I stayed at the Kyoto Chijo Omiya branch) too (b4 coming to the Osaka Namba branch which is an older property but still cosy, well maintained and slept well there as well. Would use Toyoku Inn again."
