Kyoto Tower Hotel

The internet is decent. There are a lot of stores and restaurants around the hotel. The train station is right accross the street from the hotel.

There is no signage in the train station to reach the hotel even though the hotel located accross the street has signage for direction. The hotel room is so small, a checked in luggage barely fits through the hallway. The bed is placed right under a ventilation out take which brings in air from outside - i mean restaurant smells from outside. The staff speak very little english and they freeze if they have more than 3 customers waiting to be checked in. The breakfast has a good selection - if you are local. If you are a western tourist, bread, yogurt and a small variety of salads and baked eggs should be sufficient. The reception is located at the second to last floor, which makes check out a real pain. Even though they make you pay when you arrive and there is no minibar, there is no option to simply drop off the key in a box in the elevator or on the floor for example. The walls are cracked and the hotel doesn't even provide one bottle of water. This hotel is NOT worth USD 120 a night under any circumstance. The hotel does give 10% discount vouchers to Kyoto Tower and the public bath located in the hotel.

receptionist was very kind and understood our complaint ( room that was given to us first was miniature and really not nice) and upgraded us to a biger room. stil... not very nice room.

not clean enough, decor outdated. defenetely too expensive for such a run down place.
