谷町君Hotel 京都駅東29

Great staff. Very good location. Very clean room with a kitchen and washing machine. Best bed in my Japan trip so far (but still a bit firm for me).

None

The hotel had a washing machine within each unit, and was situated in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood area. A family mart is super close by and they also let me hold my luggage after check out-- making it so easy for me to explore the neighbourhood after checkout!

On my check in day, the front desk was unattanded at 9am, which necessitated exploring kyoto with a heavy backpack for a couple of hours-- I also didn't have a local phone to contact the front desk-- perhaps a whatsapp phone line could be created so we can contact the front desk?

Excellent hotel in a great, quiet location. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the stay. The staff were amazing — very friendly, professional, and always helpful. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well prepared, with all the facilities you may need. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the people made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended, and I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for three nights and found it to be a mixed experience. The biggest challenge was the size of the room. If you are traveling with more than two people, I would recommend looking elsewhere. With three adults, there was virtually no floor space. We often had to step on or over beds to move around the room, and nighttime trips to the restroom required careful navigation to avoid stepping on someone. The price was reasonable, and the location was decent. There was a charming breakfast café on the corner, a subway station within a short walk, and Kyoto Station was about 15 minutes away on foot. However, the area itself wasn't particularly memorable or lively. One disappointment was cleanliness. When we lifted one of the futon sofa beds to create a little more walking space and store our luggage, we found dirty underwear underneath from a previous guest. I mentioned it to the staff simply so they would be aware, but I was surprised that there was no acknowledgment, apology, or gesture of goodwill. Overall, this property may work well for one or two travelers looking for an affordable place to sleep, but for three adults, the lack of space and the cleanliness issue made the stay less enjoyable than we had hoped.

A few small design changes could make the space much more functional. There were no hooks in the bathroom or room for hanging towels, which became noticeable during our three-night stay. The room included a drying rack for laundry, but because the space was so limited, there really wasn't anywhere practical to set it up. We ended up hanging our towels over the sink, but they never fully dried. I do think our experience would have been different with only two travelers. For a couple or two people traveling light, the room would likely feel much more manageable. With three adults and luggage, however, the lack of space became the biggest challenge of the stay.
