Hotel Anteroom was our first stop during our visit to Japan. We only stayed overnight. The hotel is located about a 15 mins walk from Kyoto Station, which we managed well with our large suitcases. We were greeted by a lovely staff member when we arrived. She was quick and efficient checking us in, and were allowed to our room a little early. There was a small Kyoto city accommodation tax to pay. We stayed in the south wing garden room. It's a spacious room with the large twin beds and small seating area. It has a beautiful Aomori hiba tub, which was amazing to soak in after a long day walking, along with a shower. The room sized window looks out on a pebbled garden that lights up at night. There is a small store selling small goods and t-shirts, a smoking room, vending machine and ice machine on the first floor. We didn't use the bar or restaurant while we stayed. There is a Lawsons and market located across the street. Also, it is only about a 20 minutes to walk to the Fushimi Inari shrine.

I really liked the artsy vibe of the hotel. Even though I stayed in a “regular” room and not a concept room, the amenities that were included with the price were excellent-pj’s, water, tea, slippers, hairbrush, q-tips, and lovely smelling shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. There is even a bath salt bar where you can create your own scent if you want to relax in the tub. It is a bit of a walk to Kyoto Station, but Jujo Station is closer and I used that bus stop quite often. The buffet breakfast is excellent and I loved being able to have grilled veggies & soup in the mornings. I didn’t include breakfast in my stay and ended up buying it 6 of the 9 days I was there. Lawson’s konbini is right across the street and I made many stops there for drinks and ice cream.

Artsy Hotel with some perks
A bit outside the city, though only 2 stops from the train station. Easily connecting with buses and subway to all our destinations. Hotel is artsy and has some perks, like the self mixed bath salts and a rapidly filling bathtub, the self flushing toilets, the deliciously roasted vegetable selection and the outstanding home-made granola. As others have mentioned, the the daily sandwich offerings and soups are meat heavy. The staff is friendly, usually someone speaks some English. The room size was adequate and the sofa allowed for a nice resting place for the larger suitcase. The smell in the lobby was fresh lemony and started our stay well.

It’s a little bit far comparing to the description from Expedia, but there is a subway station in between hotel and Kyoto Station. Breakfast is marginal and of course , with that price. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, and the design of the hotel is pretty much like Marriott’s Moxy. There is a restaurant just across the street where mainly are locals, but the price is down to the earth (steak, $10 USD), highly recommend.

My Favourite Kyoto Hotel
My favourite Kyoto hotel. A one of a kind find - a lot of thought went into the design of this small hotel, which is intimate, friendly and efficient. Oh yeah, and very good value. And a gallery too. The people at reception are always informed and helpful. Breakfasts are bountiful and healthy and the coffee's good. And the library/bar off the breakfast room is a great place to drink and look at art books. My room was spacious and bright. The garden off my room was the one disappointment - it looked more like a vacant lot than a garden. A bit barren rather than minimalist. But everything else was first-rate.

Fun, budget hotel with excellent breakfasts!
Pros: A funky hotel, with great breakfasts, loved the industrial vibe and the make-your-own bath salts corner. Cons: The hotel's in the south, non-touristy area of Kyoto with very little nearby except convenince store BUT just use the subway to get to places you want to visit. Definitely would stay again as great value. Used to be a college dormitory.

Stayed in North Wing Twin Room, no terrace. Bathroom is tight and had barely any counter space, we ended up cleaning and putting stuff on the floor. Very Japanese shower wet room kind of set up, did not make use of the stool and pointed the shower head diagonally towards the tub, not ideal for westerners but doable if you keep an open mind and can squat a tad. Faucet had a nearly all or nothing kind of spray so we had to be careful with it. Room was otherwise as described including large table, giant window ledge for arranging our stuff, and padded bench. One or two stray hairs remained from previous occupant which was not great. Shampoo, Conditioner, bodywash included as usual, decent quality stuff. There is absolutely no in-room safe and the hotel room is locked via a manual key, not a digital key card. We ended up keeping more of our valuables on our person versus other hotels we've stayed at upon being informed during check in that there is no in-room safe. Area is walkable from the local trains with some local restaurants and Konbini nearby. Made use of the wonderful hotel bar, though it was closed on one night of our stay as the bartender seemed to be under the weather the night before. Definitely recommend the bar though, definitely a good time with a skilled bartender and good prices. Pros: Bar, location, room size Cons: Bathroom lacks counter space. NO IN ROOM SAFE. Did not love the use of a manual key for the hotel room. Could be cleaner.

Great hotel, nice bar and chill area too. Short walk to the train station. Didn’t try the food but looked nice. Clean rooms and staff were lovely. We travelled around Japan for three weeks and this was the cheapest hotel we stayed in and possibly best, way cheaper than London prices.

The room was relatively small but I can’t complain much as we only used it to sleep during the night. The hotel is near to both train stations and bus stations. There is a Lawson store nearby as well to buy food and whatever you need.

We had a good stay, though below our expectations. The hotel lobby and the ground floor is like a converted warehouse with unfinished ceiling and pipes and ducks visible. The included breakfast was boring. We'd have to walk 15 minutes toward the Kyoto station to find any decent restaurant to dine. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, so we didn't mind the walking. A subway and bus station is 200 meters from the hotel, a transfer or two is usually required to go to places.
