The location is perfect for someone who enjoys staycation like me. It’s in the walking distance to the downtown. The staffs are super friendly and helpful. They all speak English so there is no problem with communication. I also love the fact that they have this cafe with excellent coffee (go try their Caramel Latte, it’s amazing). The restaurant also provides amazing breakfast. I tried Arepa for the first time and it’s just so delicious.

Kabin is a must stay at Kyoto, it had everything that we expected and beyond. Room was quite good size, check in was as easy as it can get with their own app ( which of course I downloaded ) and location was a big plus, and the best part was we had the best coffees of our Japan trip ( and believe me it's a big complement coming from Melbourne coffee lovers). I would HIGHLY recommend this to all my friends. And we stayed here for 5 nights and didn't have a single problem. They had their towels and all accessible to you anytime you want, instead of waiting for service staff to come and change for you.

room is very big and nicely furnished. i like the tree in the lobby and the general hipster vibe at the hotel. It's a modern hotel for modern young people.

Since it's a very modern hotel, hotel key is an app, everything's an app and lacks general old school payment with cash options and check-in could be more "humanly" then only-app oriented

We loved the sleekness of the lobby and bar area and the rooms were nice and spacious. Loved the shower and the size of our bed was perfect. We heard almost no noise from neighbours or outside which was awesome.

It was a little too far from the main areas for us. After 20k steps in a day, walking the extra way home in 35 degree heat sucked. We would have preferred staying somewhere closer to Gion and Pontocho (however if it weren’t so hot and if our feet weren’t so sore this wouldn’t have mattered). Sorry but the pillows are also terrible and the prices at the bar and cafe are pretty steep. Also you couldn’t see outside from your room as the glass was frosted.

This property was a more modern Western style hotel. The room was quite spacious and well laid out with a lot of free amenities provided including toiletries and umbrellas during the rainy times. They also had a bar and restaurant on the ground floor. The bathroom was clean and decently spaced out and the room that we were given had a lot of natural light. There was also a great luggage storage service at the sister location less than a block away which was open 24 hours. The location was also decent as it let us walk to the shopping areas as well as some of the sites in Gion. It was about a 5-minute walk to the closest bus stop and 15-minute walk to a train stop which seemed okay for Kyoto. The neighbourhood it was located in had a lot of restaurants and cafes that could be explored.

The bed was a little bit too hard for our liking and the sink being out in the open in the room rather than in the bathroom or in a separated space was a bit odd and uncomfortable especially since we were sharing among friends, it was more of a matter of privacy as well as space for everyone to set up that toiletries etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kabin Kyoto. Nice room, adequate storage space for unpacking, good laundry facilities in the hotel, good wifi, and a good location not far from Nishiki Market. We visited in October and were surprised by the crowds of tourists - turns out it's leaf-changing season. Every tourist attraction we visited was packed. But our hotel was an oasis of calm, clean, and quiet. Nice cocktail bar in the lobby, many convenience stores nearby (easy to buy cold coffee at night and enjoy in the room in the morning).

We landed at Osaka Airport and took the airport bus to Kyoto Station, then took a taxi from there (about $15, booked via Uber). It's not as convenient to public transit if you're traveling with suitcases - maybe a 10-15 minute walk with your rolling bags from the subway to the hotel. Without suitcases, we didn't mind the walk to the subway for day trips to Nara and Kobe.

Everything was great! The staff was very kind, the room was very spacious and comfortable, and it was very quiet! It was a great stay!

The breakfast was expensive for the given quantity. Also, the toilet fan was always on, without any switch to turn it off. We had to ask the staff to go there and turn it off from the controls in the ceiling, since it was noisy. Would be great if we could control the fan, having a switch to turn it on and off as desired, or at least having it linked to the light itself, turning on and off together with the toilet light.

I liked the hotel decor and the air conditioning was a god send after a day out in the hot sun. Staff were good and fulfilled requests. Bed was super comfortable and room a very good size.

I have to have medication chilled at 2 degrees but my fridge was 10 degrees, twice a day everyday I had to ask the front desk to make up ice packs for the fridge which when staying 5 nights became rather annoying. I would have expected a working fridge from a 4 star hotel or for them to replace it but no it was left to me to figure the problem out. I also have expensive items with me and would have liked a safe in the room again rather surprised a 4 star hotel doesn't have safes in the room.

The location is close to many sightseeing spots. The receptionists of this hotel are quite friendly. Room is clean, infrastructure is convenient, wonderful experience.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff; great quality of towels, bed-linens, shower and breakfast (delicious); convenient location and wide range of supplies.

For a family with toddler, it’s difficult not to have the autonomy to prepare baby food (accessible microwave and a working fridge). The fridge in the room didn’t work. Also, the washing machine did a very poor job when drying the clothes even though we used the dry program additionally (as there was no clothesline available, only 5 hangers and no hooks). But, the Team supported us by heating the food in the staff microwave every time we requested and lent additional hangers so that we could hang the wet clothes everywhere possible in the room.
