Very Good

Honestly loved my stay here except for two things that made it a bit inconvenient. There are no laundry facilities and you have to go to another hotel to wash your laundry which is a major inconvenience if you pack light and/or you are staying a while because that means you are going out daily to wash your laundry. The streets outside the hotel are pretty busy so I ended up just hand washing all my clothes and hanging them to dry.
Secondly, the bidet had stains on it and was clearly not cleaned after the last person who stayed there. It was pretty gross.
But the staff was SO kind and everything else was great! Very convenient location. I felt super safe and it is surprisingly quiet at night despite the location.
This is an old hotel and you can feel it when you use the washroom in your room.
It's quite old compared to the other hotel I did in Tokyo and Kanazawa.
The staff are all very nice and it's very easy to get around since it's right beside Kyoto station. I just wish the washroom were cleaner and newer.
Very good hotel under the Kyoto tower. They provide a 400 Yen coupon for the tower view; I even bought tickets for my friends with this coupon to see the beautiful Kyoto night view.
There is a food court in the same building. There are many restaurants around the hotel. It is next to Kyoto station and it is very convenient if you do not have a car.
Please note the check in counter is on the 8th floor. It did take me some time to find it.
Super friendly staff, hotel that’s right opposite kyoto train station. Great nights sleep in a comfortable bed. Shopping and dining options on the lower floor of the hotel and discounted tickets to go up the tower.
Would recommend
I stayed at this hotel for just one night because of a major train disruption caused by Typhoon Ampil, what made it impossible to get to Tokyo on 8/16. The hotel is located on the building underneath the Kyoto Tower, across from the main train station, what makes it very convenient. The place is a little run down and my room smelled like mold, not sure if from the carpet or the drain in the bathroom. Very basic room but enough for one night. The staff was very helpful and nice. Wouldn’t stay again.
The hotel is just across street from the Kyoto station. There are a lot of shopping, dining option in the station. You can easily get everywhere you want to go and eat variety food at your choice. Room is small but it's Japan. So that's what you get anyway. It's just enough to rest for two of us.
Great family room! 3 sets of bunk beds and 2 foutons. Plenty of space to spread out, the location was more than ideal for an early 6am train. Great shopping nearby. Would definitley stay again.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Property felt like it could use a refresh or deep cleaning. Super close to train station and shopping though.
The Kyoto Tower Hotel is very convenient. Its across the street from Kyoto Station which makes it easier to catch a bus and/or subway. There are so many dining options, as well as shopping. Everything is walkable too. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The rooms have a lot of room and the bedding was comfortable. We were able to schedule a in-room massage to unwind from a day of sightseeing.
