No need to worry if you can't speak Japanese, because most of the staff are foreigners, so they are able to speak in English. You can even cook your meal in this hotel since they have a public kitchen in the basement, and you can use it freely. You can wash your clothes also in the basement with their coin washing machine. Definitely will stay in Tune Stay Kyoto if we visit Kyoto in the future.
The hotel staff is very friendly, professional and very helpful. The hotel facilities are very complete, and the hotel atmosphere is very homey, plus the hotel is close to the convenience store and there are many dining options in the area. Adding to the memorable experience during a 3 day 2 night stay at Tune Stay Kyoto. Hopefully I can come back here again when on vacation to Kyoto.
I loved this Hotel. Super friendly staff, love the book/theater room. Very chic and close to everything. Loved the room with with the exception of how small other than that GREAT!
Tune Stay Kyoto offers clean, compact rooms with a modern, minimalist design—perfect for solo travelers or couples who plan to be out exploring all day. The beds are comfortable, the self-check-in is smooth, and the shared kitchen/lounge area is a nice bonus. It’s not in the super touristy center, but it’s a short walk to subway stations and local restaurants. The walls are a bit thin, and don’t expect luxury amenities, but for the price and cleanliness, it’s a solid value in expensive Kyoto. Recommended for frugal travelers who value simplicity and good transit access.
Very convenient location near Kyoto Station. I stayed in a room for 1-2 people with a double bed, my friend was in the neighboring room. Room is small but efficiently set up, would be VERY cozy for a couple (one person would sleep against the wall and have to climb over partner to get out). Small refrigerator, very comfy bed, extra pillows to choose located near elevators, great shower (you can also reserve for a private bath in a room in the basement), coin operated laundry (and change machine) in basement. Staff will store luggage for you if you need before, during, and after your stay (we had luggage sent here from Tokyo while we went to Kanazawa for two days). Nice bar on first floor that specializes in gin - you can get a flight of three gins with a choice of one tonic and three garnishes for 2000 yen (as of May 2026). Super great deal, probably 15-18 choices of gin? We didn't use it, but there's also a full kitchen in the basement, very nicely set up. Also, they show short films every evening! Highly recommend.
