    “I highly recommend it for beginners traveling to Kyoto.”

    This is my second time in Kyoto, but last time I stayed at a friend's house and didn't use a hotel. This time, I used the Kyoto Tower Hotel and was quite satisfied. The accessibility to Kyoto Station is great, and the prices at nearby 24-hour convenience stores and restaurants are relatively cheap compared to other places, which is quite nice. Above all, when using a triple room, the beds have wheels and can be used individually, which was fantastic. I don't know if they remodeled, but all the charging ports have been changed to USB shapes. The hotel room is also quite spacious and nice. The staff's service was excellent, and they even provided discount tickets for the Kyoto Tower when using the hotel, which I utilized. I am willing to use it again next time.

    “Beautiful scenery!”

    It had a very clean and beautiful interior, a reasonably sized room, and I liked the comfortable unit bath with good water pressure. It was right in front of Kyoto Station, so the view was great! It was lovely at night. However, I could hear all the noise from the hallway, possibly because the room door was thin. If the amenities were a bit more complete, there would be no complaints! The staff's response during check-in and check-out was good.

    “A four-person house is enough!”

    Even in the hot summer of Kyoto, I had no trouble finding a hotel (after all, it was right in front of the station at the Kyoto Tower). I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was also really good. The room where four of us could stay, each with a bed, was the best.

    “Excellent location”

    Anyway, since it is right in front of Kyoto Station, it's perfect for sightseeing using JR and buses. They also took care of our luggage and let us into our room. The staff was very friendly, and the room was clean and satisfactory. I would like to use it again.

    “I recommend it!”

    We stayed with three family members (the child is an adult). The location is right in front of Kyoto Station, so we could get there without any trouble. We also received discount tickets for Kyoto Tower, which made the family happy. Additionally, the first floor is a souvenir shop, making it very convenient. The room seemed to have been recently renovated and was very clean. If I go to Kyoto again, I would like to stay there again.
