部屋は清潔でアメニティ(コーヒー、紅茶、日本茶、洗面用具)が充実しています。スタッフの対応も申し分ありませんでした。朝食の和定食はたん熊北店で 4連泊迄、異なる料理に対応してくれました。(予めお店に連絡が必要)洋食ブュッフェのメニューも豊富で美味しかったです。 ホテルの送迎バスは混雑する事がありますので注意が必要です。 京都では駅から少し離れているため、雑踏もなく静かで快適なお勧め穴場ホテルです。

Inconveniently Located and Rooms Very Warm

Sat Nov 30 2024 11:20:15 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by deganwy31

We visited as part of a large group touring Japan. This hotel was booked by our UK tour operator. The Kyoto Tokyu Hotel is in a poor location, some distance from the downtown area and its attractions. We had to take taxi to explore as there were few local shops, restaurants, facilities or attractions. The rooms were very warm. We set the air conditioning to 16C in an effort to be cooler, but room temperature remained over 26C. Opening the full length window (which opened so wide that you could jump out from the 5th floor on which our tiny room was situated) allowed mosquitoes to get in so we were both bitten overnight. Some of the other members of our group described similar problems. Rooms are small with very limited storage space. Breakfast is average but you have to get there early to avoid the queues. Overall not a great experience: you're better off to choose somewhere more centrally located.

Horrible, small rooms with NO AC control. Stifling hot in mid-Nov

Thu Nov 14 2024 07:21:32 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Kevin H

What an extremely disappointing experience. This hotel was part of a tour package and we expected so much better. Tiny little room, no closet, no AC control. All you can adjust is speed of air, other than that you get the same temperature as the rest of the floor, about 75 degrees . Absolutely miserable. Bathroom so small you you barely turn around in it. Lobby is nice, staff is pleasant. Room experience is very poor.
