KABIN Machi — Hotel in Kyoto

Great location to stay, but maybe not for a longer period. Our room was a bit small for the two of us and our luggage. This may have partially my fault, since I choose the smaller of the available rooms, so I won't hold this against them. A second negative point is the fact that the AC is mounted in front of the bed and is blowing the cold air right at you and it wasn't super clear how to adjust the direction of the airflow. I figured it out on the third day of our stay, if anyone else is wondering: you need to press and hold the fan speed button. The window is sealed shut, no way to let some fresh air in. On the positive side, the room was super clean, the bed comfy enough for us, the shower had pressure and in addition to regular wall sockets, there were USB "ports" as well, for charging...

Good location, rather "spacious" considering japanese sized rooms. Sink and mirror weirdly in the sleeping area, not bathroom. No window to open or look out from.

Non japanese staff which seemed non trained and defintely not qualified as professional receptionists. Also their english was not on point. Also it was stated you could check in until 23:00 o'clock but we had to go to another Hotel to check in since ours was closed before that time. Really disappointing.

Seems like a hostel but with private rooms. Amenities are...

Really nice hotel with friendly, clean and original design. Has everything you need and is very budget friendly for what you get! Staff speak fluently english and japanese, furthermore they are very kind. Location is great, as it is only 3 mins away from the “main street”. Additionally, you can have late check-outs for 1500 yen which is very convenient. Everything is provided...
