Perfect stay. The room was great, full with high quality amenities, they cleaned up every day. Front office ladies are so warmly greeted, and luckily they allowed me to check in early in the middle of the winter season. The have 1 relaxing room beside the check in counter for free flow coffee tea and candy, which is great 😊. Neighborhood is great. Near train station, bus stops, sevel, lawson, mcd, even Starbucks is in the corner. Definitely will stay there again if I come back to Kyoto.

Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex
I had a very pleasant stay at Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex. We stayed for several nights, and everything about the experience was comfortable and enjoyable. The staff were very kind and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The room was fairly spacious, and so was the bathroom, which is a nice bonus for hotels in Japan. One of my favorite parts was the view of Kyoto Tower right from our room—it was beautiful, especially at night. The location is also convenient, within walking distance to Kyoto Station and close to many attractions, yet still in a quiet area. The amenities were complete, and the price was reasonable considering the quality and comfort offered. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Kyoto. Highly recommended!
