There is a nearby bus stop, that can take you to most places in Kyoto within a 30 mins time. 24/7 front desk staff that was so helpful, you can wash for 300 yens and dry your close in the hotel for 100 yens. Best value. I would stay here again. ##### Bagner Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Nov 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent staff and room ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### STELLA Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff that I met was really kind. ##### STELLA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### jeff May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We like it that the air conditioner can be coverted to heater. No other place offered that. ##### jeff Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darleen Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kyoto 10/10 Close to Nijjo castle convenient to public transport. Kyoto has lots of areas to see and explore well worth visiting. ##### Darleen Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had a small single bed room which im fine with but if you are a large person or dont like small smaces...dont get the budget room. I absolutely enjoyed it. Staff was fantastic, room was clean and its a very nice neighborhood in the center of all the adventures. ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nina May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness It’s the only place in Japan that I am giving a low rating. It felt like everything I asked the answer was No. why cannot they keep the luggage for a few hours after checkout? It’s done pretty much everywhere else. The room itself was fine but the service was so so. ##### Nina Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lersan Jun 18, 2023 Good ##### Lersan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert Aug 7, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Room looked clean at first, but once i took a closer look at the bed, i found stains on the bed covers, bathroom was very small for a normal size person, and front desk staff was almost never at the front desk. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities No option to hold luggage upon checkout. I accidentally booked a smoking room (my fault) so be careful when booking. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Benjamin Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Stay was fine, staff were helpful. Good amenities and easy check in. Got a huge shock when I went to use the power point behind the desk- caked up in so much dust, the same under the bed and behind the TV, and on the appliances and chair in the room. Used the laundry and the same- dryers had dust spilling from the top of the machine. The place is fine, but they need to do regular deep cleaning, was crazy how much dust was caked up in these areas. ##### Benjamin Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tom Apr 17, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was filthy, we booked a non smoking room and there was an ashtray in the room and the entire floor reeked like smoke. Checked for items under the bed before leaving and there were several inches of dust, dirt and hair etc… gross. Bed spread had stains. ##### Tom Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Pablo Apr 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There was no Front Desk available for help/inquiries. Overpriced for the room and location. The view from the Room wasn’t appealing at all. No available amenities, such as (Laundry, Spa, Dining Area) Overall 2/10 Experience When a customer pays for above average room expenses, it is unacceptable to find 0 help from Front Desk. Also, location is way too far from any major stations for transportation. Also Room View was very unappealing. No amenities like Laundry, Dining Area, or Spa, for that price, is also extremely disappointing. This experience actually felt like a ghost hotel, with nobody around. The only reason this rating isn’t 1/10, was because housekeeping did a pretty good job, and the bathroom’s had most of what you needed ##### Pablo Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yoko Nov 29, 2025 対応も、部屋も、タバコ臭さも、全て、ガッカリでした。 ##### Yoko Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kazuto Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 築年数の浅い建物です。 ##### Kazuto Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### TAKESHI Oct 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness 泊まる場所としては良かっったです。 ##### TAKESHI Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### HIROSHI Sep 6, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities バスルームは他のリブマックスよりきれい ##### HIROSHI Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### HIROSHI Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Staff & service ベッドのシーツの清潔感を上げた方が良い ##### HIROSHI Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Gran-Ms-Kyoto.h8962891.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL M’s EST KYOTO STATION SOUTH](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-Ms-EST-KYOTO-STATION-SOUTH.h23513455.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nohga-Hotel-Kiyomizu-Kyoto.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [THE BLOSSOM KYOTO ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-BLOSSOM-KYOTO.h76497805.Hotel-Information) > > [Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miyako-Hotel-Kyoto-Hachijo.h26999.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Vischio-Kyoto-By-GRANVIA.h30990875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Gallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Gallery.h9795712.Hotel-Information) > > [Miru Kyoto Nishiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miru-Kyoto-Nishiki.h24201327.Hotel-Information)
