Seibido Inn, Kyoto — Hotel in Kyoto

The rating is based on the staff. Everyone from front desk to chef to manager has gone out of their way to make my stay perfect. I’m here with a tour group so it’s an excellen spot to meet up before dinner for snacks and drinks (you can come in for food and drinks even if you’re not a guest). They are warm and inviting and treat you like family. I burned my hand on some hot water (my own fault) and they went to the pharmacy and got everything I needed to be properly bandaged up. The manager even went to get pizza for us when their grill was closed. ||The rooms are simple but cozy. There is a bathroom and shower/sink combo. The beds are on the floor and surprisingly comfy. I could have used another pillow but I never asked for one so no fault of the staff. ||The location is good, although some taxi drivers might have a tricky time finding it. Tell them to go to Yamanka (phenomenal pork restaurant a block away—also recommended highly!!) and you can manage from there. ||Again, perfect spot if you want to be treated like family and you’re on a budget. The front desk can make reservations for you and their recommendations are wonderful. Everyone speaks excellent English for Western travelers....

I stayed at Seibido Inn while my stay at Kyoto.||The inn is located 20 minutes bus ride from Kyoto Station. From there, you can easily walk to the Imperial Castle and Nizo castle or head south and go to the city centre.||Rooms were beautiful and elegant with the futons, little table, cushions and a shelf, fridge and kettle. There are no TVs but certainly I didn’t miss it and more importantly, the internet worked perfectly throughout my stay. My partner and I had a small room, but my parents’ was quite spacious.||Customer service was outstanding. They are totally prepared for foreign tourists. You are given a leaflet with the main attractions and the train or bus to take there. There is a common area downstairs where you can have your own breakfast and coffee and tea are provided.||Undoubted, I would recommend you to stay at Seibido Inn for a peaceful and...
