Amenity Hotel Kyoto

It is not easy to get help from the front desk.

Fantastic place. If you want a Japanese style hotel, can’t imagine anywhere nicer. Staff do helpful too.

The room was so spacious for 2 people, but here was construction on 2 of the 4 floors so we weren't able to access the common space nor the public bath, so it was very disappointing. There's also a Chinese restaurant located on the 1st floor, so of u go down with the elevator, you end up inside the restaurant and if u go down too early you'll be locked inside the restaurant.

quick bus ride to get to the hotel (that bus is usually quite busy since it goes to kiyomizu dera) hotel is easy to find. loved the location, it was really close to kiyomizu dera and nice area to go for a nice walk- absolutely loved it! close to a bike rental place. the Twin Bunk Bed was spacious shower area was small felt like it'd be touching the wall or the curtain.

Great location, close to transport, restaurant, temple. Large room with plenty of space for family, great bathroom area, clean and modern.

The hotel offered us with a comfortable & pleasant stay more than expectation. It was super close to Kiyomizu temple - a must have visiting place in early morning, easy check-in & check-out, restaurants, convenience stores & bus stops were near.

location is good and near the Kiyomizu-dera Temple & Street

We loved it!

Staff wasn’t pay attention how many people in room. We were short of towels.

The Amenity Hotel is an older no frills place. The location is actually pretty great. It's very close to a bus stop so that you can easily get there from the Airport and/or use the bus to get to other touristy locations. Additionally there's area almost directly behind the hotel within walking distance that's filled with shrines (and other tourist stuff), tourist shops, and restaurants. The place is kept clean and they provided clean towels, shampoo, soap, etc, and service was fine. Our one major concern was the beds. We were in a two capsule room with a fold out couch for three people. The capsules have small mattress/mats that feel like craft foam over a hard board. Every 5-10 minutes I'd wake up because my hips or shoulder hurt. The second night I switched to the fold out couch. It was better. However it was so broken on one side that you sank to a hole in the middle and could feel the board or whatever underneath one side...We're not very picky, but the main requirement is the ability to get a good rest after walking all day and unfortunately that was not possible.

It might look a little bit old from outside, but we were positively surprised to find freshly renovated rooms with lots of space and comfort for our family of four.

Stayed there for one night, we booked a traditional Japanese style tatami (which I love!) family room which actually only fits 3 futons, but roomy nonetheless (not to forget there is a lift here for heavy luggage!). Check in was a breeze and the hotel staff was quite friendly. In the room, we can find a 'mini' vanity table with power outlets, a huge dining/living table, a TV, wall hangers (for clothes, of course), a built in 'closet' for beddings and stuff (which we helped ourselves with). The room has an en-suite bathroom as well, with standard Japanese bathroom facilities. The absence of air conditioning was not a problem as it was cold out (there was only a heater), so we cracked a window and let the cold air come in, as we are not used to sleeping in any warm condition. Thoroughly enjoyed the futon. There are quite some restaurants around, we had no trouble looking for food. The only 'not-so' minus to this place is that it is only accessible by bus/cab in a near distance. If there is another chance to visit West Japan, I would be sure to stay here again.

The hotel is clean, with friendly staff. I had a great time staying here. The location is great. There are many places to eat around. Short distance to many famous temples and shrines.

Overall a nice stay but do not expect a lot of things as it is a budget hotel. It is also quite convenient with close proximity to several popular temples with the most prominent one -Kiyomizudera temple

Location of Hotel is very convenience to many main attraction in Kyoto. Hotel could be reach with bus with in 10 minutes (230 yen per way from Kyoto station). You can just get a one day bus pass at 500 yen and get around the kyoto after check in. The room we booked actually can accomodate up to 5 person so is quite huge in the way for just two of us. Reception at first floor, lift available from ground floor only when the chinese restaurance is open 11am - 2.30pm and Evening probably 6pm - 10pm, so have to carry your luggage up to 1st floor if restaurant is close. Hotel and room are clean but the cushion in the room (tatami cushion) was 'worned out' but they still place them in the room.

The room i stayed in was a private 2 pod room which is good in size. Plenty of area for your luggage. It was my first time experiencing a pod. I have to say it was quite roomy. The pillows were hard. So i had a stiff neck when i woke up. Besides that the service was nice from the hotel. They change your sheets, linen and towels everyday. They also replenish your toothbrush and shaver too every morning around 10am. I had no charger for my phone and the front desk lend me one for the whole stay. For the price you pay, i think it is a bargain. After all it is just a place to rest so that you can recharge for the next morning to wonder their temples and shrines.

We had a private room with private bathroom, 2 capsules, and a futon couch. They also provided a Japanese futon set on top of the futon couch. Service was great! Even on days we did not need the room cleaned we were given a basket of fresh robes, towels, toothbrush sets, and razors. The hotel is a bit older, but is in fair condition and is clean. There are vending machines and laundry facilities. The nearest station is the Kiyomizu-Gojo Station. Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Pagoda, Yasaka Shrine, and Kodaiji are all within walking distance. The walk down to Shijo-Kawarmachi is a bit longer, but still not too far. There's a Circle K about 2 doors down I think.

I enjoyed my stay, girlfriend and I wanted to stay in a capsul hotel but they are usually only for men, or have the men and women separated so having two capsules in a private room with bathroom was nice. All around I found it to be good value for the cost, nothing fancy about this budget friendly hotel but I would stay there again. The staff were helpful, despite the fact that we don't speak japanese, and let us leave our bags there until check in time.

Located downtown near to the best sights of Kyoto. The bus station is half a minute walk away and take you too almost all the landmarks. Also the hotel is a 15 min bus ride away from Kyoto station. The managers including Mr Murukami are extremely helpful and kind. The capsules itself is nice for a nights rest. Great value for money.

Good location.
