Todaiji Sanchome Park Yakınındaki Shimamoto Otelleri

Everything was fine until the end. In comparison to other hotels I stayed at throughout my trip, this one is cleaner and more spacious. It's close to Tokyo Station, so it's easy to get to other areas, even if it took me quite a while to figure out their operation and routes. The hotel will be cleaned one time every three days. So, generally, it will not be cleaned throughout your stay. However, you can request that they change the towels every day. The check-in and check-out processes were straightforward, however the machine did not accept my Visa card - this is the only site in Japan that did. The hotel also helped you store your belongings before and after check-in/out. However, I was discriminated against by one of the hotel's employees when sending the luggage after checkout. Before me, he stayed near the check-in/checkout machine, assisting a Japanese couple with the checkout procedures and handling the bags. So I waited, thinking he also approached me to assist. However, after assisting the couples, he did not approach me and came back to the counter. Then I beckoned him to his assistance. Instead, he hailed me with his fingertips to come over his counter, rather say anything like “Please come over the counter to do the procedure”. It shocked me. Furthermore, the way he handled my luggage request was really unpleasant. When I asked for his name because I didn't see it on his tag, he became more agitated. So that is why I requested him to write his name on the receipt card. How is it possible for him to treat people so differently? Should Japanese people be treated more respectfully under the hotel's policy? After my interaction with him, all of my positive feelings about the hotel vanished.

Staff Are very attentive and quick, they are able to assist you in English too if you can't communicate in Japanese. Transport is easy as it is located about 10-15 minutes away from Kyoto Station which has Shinkansen/JR trains/bus available. Given a cozy room with various options of daily cleaning (none/basic/partial/full) main difference being if you want the bathtub to be washed / bed to be made, so you can hang it by your door to notify the crew accordingly.

It was unmanned check-in and was satisfied except that I didn't know the password at the time of entry. I forgot the key of the bicycle on the round line, but I was able to leave it in the entrance and was saved. It was a night stay, but the station and convenience store are close, and the room and shower room are clean. I also want to repeat if I have a chance.

The water in the bathroom is very weak and bathing takes a long time, which is very unpleasant. However, there is a bus stop near this hotel. It is very convenient to go to the JR station. The streets nearby are also quiet. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants. There is only a Royal Host Western restaurant. The service is very good and the food is delicious.

It is good that there is an open-air bath, the room is large, and the view outside is good from the large window. However, the amount is high. Even in this time of Corona, it's a bit unthinkable to spend close to 10,000 yen. However, staying in such a room is quite relaxing and feels good. It's great that you can come right after getting off Kishibe Station without getting wet in the rain. It is also good that there is a convenience store in the hotel building. I thought the convenience store was on the first floor, but it was actually on the second floor. If you walk down the passage from the station without going down to the ground, there is a convenience store and there is an elevator next to it, which will take you to the front desk of the hotel. The only problem is the table. The table where you put your PC and work is small. I can't work indoors. Although it is a PR point that there is an open-air bath on the roof, you can not see the outside scenery. All the outside is covered with walls, and you can only see the sky. It's nice to take a bath outside, but it's a pity that you can't see outside.

Had everything I need, entrance built into the station so very easy to catch your train in the morning. My walk to my room was super long though, I’d advise anyone to request a room close to the elevator.

This was my first trip to Kyoto and there are many options for hotels. I was having trouble deciding exactly where but Good Nature turned out to be an excellent choice because: 1. It's right downtown - a few minutes walk to two subway stops - you'll use the subway to get to good attractions like Inari, Nara, Kiyomizu 2. you are also within walking distance to Pontocho, Gion, Nishiki markets 3. There were 3 of us so we had 3 individual beds - in a standard room and despite this being 28m2 the layout of the room is very good. Of course, if you want the deluxe room it's much bigger but it will cost a lot more 4. Managed to score a trip.com 36% discount (for 5 nights) which was a no-brainer (we just got the room only) - pay for buffet breakfast if you must (plenty of Starbucks around if that's your thing) - I did book the first night separately direct through the hotel website though as the trip.com offer didn't extend for 6 nights 5. The room was very clean, the staff were very friendly and explained everything. 6. Buffet breakfast was a good selection of Western and Asian choices. The restaurant was very clean. The prosciutto was amazing!

The hotel is located in the heart of Kyoto. Convenient location. All you have to do is go down to the ground floor to take a shower, but overall it's good. I will give my rating of 9.7 out of 10 points to this Hotel.

It is the first use. The room was renewed and clean and clean, and the main switch of the power supply was the official to insert the room key and turn it like a starter of the car The control panel of the pillow was nostalgic, so it was a nostalgic ^^. There was an air conditioner that seemed to be a new product, but I couldn't find a remote control and I thought it was installing. Breakfast was a Western meal, and it seemed to be insufficient, but when I tried it, I was satisfied privately. It is convenient because it is a few minutes walk to Ibaraki Station. I would like to use it if I have another chance.

The location is conveniently connected in all directions. It is quiet and bustling, close to high-end shops. It is only a 5-minute walk from the subway station. The room management is comfortable. #Waka Kyoto Kawaramachi Hotel #鴨川 #八坂神社⛩️#五条
