Shingu Vacation Packages

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great location near station, super comfortable place with plenty of room. The kitchenette was very useful and practical, and the washer/dryer was excellent and twice as fast as other places in Japan. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Air conditioning worked great also.

Great for Americans who have to go to the embassy . But you won’t find parking right at the hotel so take parking a few blocks away..

Great experience: clean, quiet, great breakfast, excellent room, awesome onsen!

Clean and peaceful

Good location. Walking distance to Kyoto Station. Bus station in front of hotel. Dryer doesn’t work well but it provides a lot hangers The clothes got dry enough over night. Staffs are friendly. The shuttle to Golden Temple is convenient. There are many restaurants around. It’s important to be close to Kyoto Station for train, bus, restaurant and shopping A convenient store just at the corner of street. An express mailing facility just 3 minutes away. It can ship your baggage to Tokyo and other places in Japan in a quick and inexpensive way
