West Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu — Local services in Kyoto

I stayed here solo for 5 nights. The hotel room was spacious, stocked with useful amenities/utilities like a washing machine, a drying rack, separated toilet/showers, a small kitchen with some cooking utensils provided. It even has a very thoughtful stack of flashcards on operating the aircon/kettle/washing machine in English.

There is 1 night of cleaning if you are staying for 5 nights.

Great location for exploring Higashiyama, was easy to go out of Kyoto too (for day trips like Nara/Osaka). Located 1 minute away from a konbini, and across the hotel there is a decent restaurant serving hearty teishoku meals at local prices (700-1000 yen).

Staff is friendly.

Only downside I saw is the lobby being very small. I'm not sure do they have space for luggage storage. Please check before you book if you definitely need storage...

Not only is the room bigger, the water pressure is good and the front desk is EXTREMELY HELPFUL. There was an incident where one of our luggage didn't come through and the front desk took it in her own hands and called Yamato Service for us. This hotel also ship out our luggage to our next hotel as well. She was fast, helpful and extremely nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel is also close to the bus station, famous shrines and...
