Henn na Hotel Premier Kyoto Gojo Karasuma — Hotel in Kyoto

The Watermark hotel is an idyllic base for exploring the beautiful city of Kyoto. We stayed 4 nights here during cherry blossom season and were very pleased with our stay. Upon entering the hotel, we were welcomed with a smile and the serene sounds of the water feature in foyer, which created a relaxing vibe. We were given a room on the 6th floor, which was of a good size, and featured a plush queen size bed which was placed on tatami mats, as well as a small table and chair, and a bed head with smart lighting controls which could create a cosy ambience through a number of well placed lights and lanterns. A separate toilet, seperate bathing area, a hand basin located in the main corridor of the room, and a sliding door to seperate the sleeping space from the wider room were thoughtful design features that allowed for privacy. A TV, mini fridge, and an electric kettle enclosed in the bedroom cabinetry rounded out the amenities. We were able to comfortably fit 2 large suitcases in the room, and made use of the clothes hooks in the main corridor of the room for placing our daily wear items. Shampoo, Conditioner, and body lotion were provided in the bathroom, and a pair of Yukata was laid out on the bed for us, with additional items available for guest use in the downstairs foyer (razors, hair combs, tea, bath sponges, tooth brushes, Yukata etc). The Gojo train station is 100m away, and there are numerous eateries and restaurants serving delicious meals (cafes, noodles, curries etc) in the vicinity. Luxury shopping malls are just a 15min walk away. Staff are extremely helpful and courteous, and were able to organise Takkubin services for us on request. Fast wifi available in the room and foyer. We highly recommend this hotel for any guests looking for a comfortable base from which to...

Loved this hotel. The location was great. It was only a few mins away from exit 4 of Gojo Station, which was extremely convenient and nice when it comes to those late nights coming home, and you don't want to walk that much further. The room was spacious. Lots of table space to place your personal items and toiletries. I liked how the toilet was in a separate room to the shower/tub and how the sink was outside of those rooms as well. So that if you are sharing the room with someone can use the toilet and someone else can use the shower. There was also another door separating the bedroom to the sink,shower,and toilet area. There was heating and air conditioning. Everyday they come to do a quick clean of your room if you don't leave any signage outside of your door. They change the trash bins, the towels and make your bed. You can request to do a deep clean and you can also request for them to not disturb you at all. They have an ice machine and a vending machine for drinks. They have 2 washer/dryer machines. It's combined together so it washes and dries together and it automatically adds detergent. When I went during cherry blossom season, the laundry machines were always constantly being used, and you have to be quick to get to it, or else you will have to wait 2 hours, especially in the evening. You have to use 100 yen coins for the machines. These machines will never dry your clothes properly don't waste your money to try to add more time. Instead we just brought our clothes back to our room and used the hangers to dry them or lay them on your bed when you leave during the day. They have some cotton pads, cotton swabs, combs,slippers and bathrobes in the first floor free to grab. The ambient lighting the room was so nice!! Overall I highly...

한국인들이 볼 수 있도록 명료하게 정리해봄

위치 : 교토역에 내려서 걸어올 수 있지만 지하철 타고 한 정거장(230엔)이라 짐이 많으면 지하철 추천. 지하철에서 4분 거리임

호텔 : 호텔은 다다미 바닥에 침대는 푹신하고 배게도 2종류가 있습니다. 딱딱한거(할무니집 가면 있는거) 부드러운거. 이불도 푹신해서 기분 좋게 잤습니다. 욕실은 턱이 있어서 물이 밖으로 안 세어나오고 욕조도 187cm 성인 남성이 쭈구려 앉아 들어갈 수 있을 정도입니다. 세면대는 밖에 있고 화장실이랑 욕실이 나뉘어져 있습니다. 참고로 외부 음식은 반입해도 된다고 합니다.(프론트에 물어봄)

어메니티 : 어메니티는 1층 엘리베이터 근처에서 직접 가져가는 형식입니다. 수량 제한은 딱히 안 둔 것 같았지만 저는 인수 맞춰서 사용했습니다. 칫솔은 부드러움과 딱딱함 딱 중간 느낌이었고 치약은 두번정도 사용할 수 있었습니다. 타월은 까끌까끌한게 아니고 살짝 부드러운 느낌

체크인 : 체크인 할 때 언어는 영어, 일본어 딱 두개만 되는거 같아요 한국어 직원은 없으니까 체크인 시 참고하세요. 참고로 여기는 체크인할 때 포스탈코드가 필요해서 여기 예약하시는분들은 미리 코드를 검색해서 저장해두세요 지역명도 영어로 작성해야합니다. 체크인 시 인당 200엔을 걷어가는데 이건 호텔 서비스 사용료 같은게 아니고 일본 정부에서 걷어가는 " 도시세 " 라는 겁니다 호텔도 강제적으로 따르는거라 호텔에 따져봐야 의미가 없어요.

주변 볼거리 : 근처 1분거리에 패밀리마트가 있고 2분 거리에 프레스코(우리나라로 치면 홈플러스슈퍼, 롯데마트슈퍼)가 있어서 먹을 거 구매하는데에는 지장이 없습니다만 식당을 찾으려면 살짝 나가야 합니다. 기요미즈데라를 보러 가실 분들이면 기요미즈데라를 보고 아래로 쭉 내려오면 바로 숙소라 1박씩 묵으실 분들에게 추천드립니다

장점 : 깨끗하고 깔끔함, 한국어를 몰라도 파파고에 입력해서 보여주면 친절하게 도와줌. 근처에 마트 있어서 술먹방하기 좋음

단점 : 자기 직전까지는 옆방소리가 들릴 수 있음. 막 시끄럽진 않지만 어느정도 소리가 들리긴 하더라고요. 근처에 식사를 하려면 좀 나가야 한다 정도

다음에 교토에 오게되면 또 오고 싶습니다. 굿데이~

English

Location: You can get off at Kyoto Station and walk, but it's one stop (230 yen) by subway, so if you have a lot of luggage, recommend the subway. It's 4 minutes away from the subway

Hotel: The hotel has a mat on the floor and a soft bed, and there are two types of pillows. The hard one (the one in the grandmother's shop) is soft. The blanket was soft and I slept well. The bathroom had a jaw, so the water wouldn't count out, and the bathtub was 187cm high enough for an adult male to sit down. The sink is outside and the bathroom and bathroom are separated. For your information, outside food can be brought in. (Asking the front desk)

Amenities: Amenities are taken directly from the elevator on the first floor. There seemed to be no restriction on the quantity, but I took over and used it. The toothbrush was soft and hard, and I could use the toothpaste twice. Towels are not rough but a little soft

Check-in: I think there are only two languages at check-in: English and Japanese. There are no Korean staff, so please refer to them when you check-in. For your information, you need a postal code when you check-in, so if you are booking here, search for the code in advance and save it. The name of the area should also be written in English. When you check in, you collect 200 yen per person, but this is not like a hotel service fee, but a "city tax" that the Japanese government collects. Hotels are also compulsory, so it's meaningless to consider it with the hotel.

Nearby attractions: Family Mart is a minute away from here and Fresco (Homeplus supermarket, Lotte supermarket) is two minutes away, so there is no problem in purchasing food, but you have to go out a little to find a restaurant. If you want to see Kiyomizudera, it is recommended for those who will stay for one night as soon as you come down after seeing Kiyomizudera

Advantages: Clean and tidy, even if you don't know Korean, if you type in the Papago and show it, it will help you kindly. There is a mart nearby, so it's good for drinking

Cons: You can hear the sound of the next room until you go to bed. It's not that loud, but I can hear it to a certain extent. To eat nearby, you need to go out

If I come to Kyoto next time, I want to come...
