This was our second time staying at this location. We dont mind the walk to the more popular areas which is 30 minutes if you have decent walking speed. Very cute quiet neighborhood. Close to Kyoto station and shopping area near the station. Check in and check out has always worked for us but it might not for others. The room is super clean and well appointed. The washer in our room was so helpful after traveling around for over a week. We also go the room with a small kitchen this time which was excellent for making things on a small stove and toasting things as opposed to just microwaving. Next time, we would stay here again!

The bathroom fan always has to be on which might be disruptive to some.

I stayed for 14 days in this cute little apartment, located less than a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station. I chose an apartment with a small kitchen, on the 4th floor, which also had a terrace with a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding mountains. The kitchen was well-equipped, having everything we needed to prepare a great breakfast: pans, utensils, an induction stove, a hood, a mini electric oven where we cooked pizza and hot sandwiches, as well as a microwave. The host provided us with free oil and spices, which was a nice touch. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner, all offered for free. The apartment was clean and had a washing machine, with laundry detergent provided by the host. Although room service is not offered, it wasn't a problem since we could request a Dyson vacuum for free to clean up. We also requested new linens, which were provided immediately, and we changed them ourselves. The beds were very comfortable, as were the pillows. The check-in process was extremely simple, and the person at the reception was very kind. We recommend this accommodation to everyone, as we have nothing but praise for the setup, cleanliness, and location of this apartment!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Yes, it is small, similar to other hotels across big cities from Japan, but is very well arranged and equipped so you have everything you need!

It was perfect! First the rate… GREAT PRICE for the … Location very near to the big train station and buses… (8 minutes walk)no way you’re going to get lost here. They will send you a txt after booking kind of weird, but don’t worry bottom line they respect times; cking IN/OUT on rhe times they said. They are PLENTY of lockers near them where you can store your suitcases 🧳. It is self service they have all supplies by reception, it was PERFECT for me bc I don’t like people in my room. They have good coffee and a kitchenette. The room hd enough space for me (solo trip) and the washer/dryer was a plus! It’s included! People in Kyoto like in all JN are polite enough to assist you if they can understand you (download a translation app recommended) however they aren’t very friendly, maybe because the language barrier.

Despite parking issue due to the property being located in a narrow street, the JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Izutsucho was clean, well maintained and featured all the items both solo and group travelers would need for a stay.

Guest need time to drop off luggage at the entrance during check-in, as well as loading luggage into a vehicle during check-out. Initially, there was a lack of understanding from hotel staff, after discussion the issue was resolved.

Great location, close to station. (Approx 10 min walk). Extremely clean. LOTS of amenities. A really great set up. Room was a good size compared with others and it gave us everything that we could possibly ever need!

The only negative comment I would give is the messages sent pre check in and the rules displayed seem extremely strict and harsh when in fact the person who checked us in was pleasant. We were worried before we arrived for no reason.

It was a really great room. Clean as most places in Japan based on our experience. The washer/dryer was such a huge bonus for us. They had amenities that you can help yourself to if you need it which was nice. This included utensils, razors, toothbrushes, etc. The location was about 20 minutes from main shopping areas, but for those who are less fit and willing to walk, it might take some buses. Stops are very close by. There are a lot of rules to follow which was fine. We understood and respected their wishes. It's not anything that is out of the ordinary that isn't mostly common sense.

The check-in window is limited. It worked out for us, but I can see how it does not work for others. They will not hold luggage so we rented lockers at the train station which was not a big deal, but again, I can see how this might deter others.

So amazing I extended my stay. Wonderful location walking distance from Kyoto Station - which was my preference for getting around with ease. I loved that there's a washer in the unit. They do not do daily cleaning during your stay (which was common throughout Japan) but provided all the supplies at the front desk also cleaning supplies including vacuum. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom facilities excellent.

Nothing

Everything It was my very own mini apartment, which I enjoy since it has all the amenities I needed. I really enjoyed having a washer and dryer unit since it was hard to find a place to do laundry when traveling. Also, having a fridge and a mini kitchen was nice if I wanted to store my own meal. If I ever visit Japan again, I def will be coming back to this place. It's close to the train station and the area is quiet. FYI, you clean your own place. No one is going to do it for you. If you're not sure how to recycle. Most packaging in Japan will have a number and tell you how to dispose of that number. Like if it has a triangle with a 6 in it, there's the garage bin with that same triangle with a 6. Toss it there. There's cleaning supplies at the lobby and other stuff if you need anything. Be humble and kind. Enjoy your stay in kyoto.

I got nothing. It was perfect. Though maybe I'll say this for others. But if you want space, this cute, cozy place is not for you.

I loved everything about this hotel. It was so far the best in a good proce, very well located. Being closed to the train station, it makes it so easy to access on arrival and we liked that it wasnt right in the middle of the city centre as we prefer less crowded. Still this area had lots of nice place to eat at. The room itself has everythibg you need even a lamp torch! Having your own washing machine is such a great bonus. Bed was confy and we had unlimited coffee and teas. Price is very good for what you get.

Nothing!

Close to Kyoto Station (10min walk) in a quiet neighbourhood. lots of amenities available. The room has its own washing machine and a small kitchen with appliances. Room is clean, aircon works. Busstop nearby. Nice staff. The room and the items in it come with clear instructions in a manual. Sorry, forgot pics

Very small room and bed, mattress is very thin so the springs poke in your back. Although the location is lovely, we found that Kyoto Station provides little option to move about the city, which sometimes makes the inn a bit of a walk from where you are going or want to be.
