TOMORI Guest House — Hotel in Kyoto

This review is for the price of 120$ CAD that it cost me to pre reserve a private room PER NIGHT for 4 nights at this guest house. Checking back later I saw that the price per night was 30$ which would be way more reasonable for this place. On arrival check in was fine. We arrived at 1500 on the dot and had to wait to for costumers who were already waiting to check in, even though there was no one checking out and the front reception was not busy or occupied serving other customers. When arriving to our room it smelt of pickled vegetables and my first observation that there was mold on the ac unit. The paint on the walls was peeling and the slippers provided were one pair of crocs and another pair of very old dirty slippers. Second, the bed is not made as per the photograph and you are required to make your own bed. Which is fine, but on the state of the other amenities made us wary of the cleanliness of the sheets and bedding provided. The female washroom on the second floor were old and one of the toilet seats were broken and crooked. The bathroom for men on the first floor had a strong foul odor and was very humid. Overall I would give this guest house one star for the price I paid. My husband and I ended up moving down the street to Hotel One which cost us the SAME PRICE and had hotel amenities. Because of the cancelation policy, our stay at this guest house, that totaled 1h before we moved, cost me over 330$. Ive never been so un-satisfied with a...

Oké for everyone thinking of booking... Don’t! I am actually lying on the floor now in bed writing this review now... that’s how bad it is... big thumbs up to the marketing team with the pictures! However as soon as you leave the desk it will show you different. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting... the horrible shower curtain gives you zero privacy and is dirty. ||The room is quite ok but you just see that it has been used a lot you know? I have allergies for house dust mite and the pillows and blankets are old and used (I always notice this right away as I have problems breathing then) it was my own choice to chose Japanese style beds and I will own this decision together with my horrible back in the morning I am sure.||I did not understand why the showers would be closed during the evening, but as I am sleeping next to the showers I thank god that it is, as a girl is just now blow drying her hair and it feels like she is standing next to me (it’s 0.07 hours so the time is not really correct either?)||Anyway no one to go to unfortunately now as the reception...

Everything was really good, the location is amazing just in the middle point of everything, you can get by walking to almost every place, or walk to kyoto station and take a train. Also there is a small river just a block away with a ton of cherry trees . The rooms were really good, but even if everything was ok it is a little rough around the edge's. The bathrooms are too small (to be a shared asset) and the towels were a little bit old/small. In the other had the staff is really helpful and made us feel really comfortable in our stay that was quite long. So thank you...
