Hotel JIDAI — Hotel in Kyoto

We are a family of 5 (kids aged 19, 17,13) staying in December of 2016 for 6 nights. The Budget Inn was very easy to find, very well located near the train station. It was clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. Our first night the room smelt of smoke (unfortunately someone had smoked inside the room, which they are not supposed to) when we asked if we could change rooms there was no hesitation in doing so in fact staff were very apologetic for the situation. There is a bakery near by where we purchased pastries and brought them back to the Inn to eat for breakfast. They have communal room to sit (on the floor traditional style) and eat however we preferred the dining room in the Capsule Ryokin (associated accommodation) literally around the corner where we sat on chairs. The have amenities available as well. There are lots of places to choose from to eat nearby. They have a manual in the room with lots of information about what to do and where to eat which I found extremely helpful. During our stay we took the bullet train to Hiroshima and Osaka. We also visited the Bamboo Forrest which I really enjoyed. They allowed us to squeeze a fifth person into a room that is usually for 4 so it was a bit tight however we were appreciative that were able to do this as it made it more economical for us. Accommodation in Japan can be expensive but staying at the Budget Inn made it affordable. We even received parting gifts. It is budget accommodation but that's all we needed. Great stay with...

We stayed 5 nights at Hotel Jidai during our trip to Kyoto in October and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!||||The property was recently renovated so everything is very modern. You can also tell that a lot of thought was put into the design to preserve the history and culture of Kyoto.||||I really appreciated and enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the reception lobby especially in the early mornings before heading out for a long day of sightseeing.||||The hotel is located in a peaceful and safe neighbourhood and very convenient - 5 mins. walk to Kyoto Station, close to many 24HR convenience stores and tourist attractions. The room itself was spacious (especially by Japan standards), beds were very comfy and most importantly the bathroom was large and clean. The staff are exceptional and very responsive to communications.||||Overall, very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay...
