JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Mongakucho

This property is well-located and a good budget option for a stay in Kyoto. The building is secure. The room is clean and the bed comfortable. As it is a budget place in a good location the room is small - you have to sit on the bed. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, which was great to have after a week of travel!

Great location, great staff, and great central location to Kyoto and all of its attractions. Convenient stores are not too far away, bus stops aren't either. The street is very quiet at night so sleeping is no issue. The washing machine in the room was a great plus! And the bathroom had both ventilation and also a drying system! That was by far the best, because we were able to wash clothes and dry them in a day. Amenities were all given and you can stock up from the entrance if you like. By that I mean tooth brush, towels, a quick coffee, hair brush, etc. Room was very big, by far an upgrade for a couple travelling through Japan for three weeks and that have seen it all. Iron for clothes can be borrowed from reception.

The apartman is very spacious compared to japanese standards. Everything was clean. It's ten minutes walk from the train station. My room had a kettle, a microwave (however no plates or cutleries, so I did not use it), a washing machine (that I didn't use, as the staff told me the dryer function is very weak), a small desk, a double bed, and a very spacious bathroom with both tub and shower. Unlimited complementary tea and coffe is provided. Everything was clean. There is no cleaning during your stay, but you can use a hoover, and grab new towels or other amenities at the reception any time. My room had a street view, wich was lovely and silent. The house is in a more traditional street. There is a konbinin 4 mins walk, and many izakayas and restaurants in 10 mins walk. Overall I recommend this accomodation even for longer stays :)

Quiet, Clean, a brief walk from Kyoto Station. The personal washing machine was a huge plus. Was worried about not having a dryer but the built in dehumidifier in the bathroom did the job perfectly. As others have stated there is a large book of rules, however the host who checked us in summed it up nicely though, no parties, don’t yell, be respectful while in and around the hotel. Easy enough.

Great location in a quiet side street close to public transportation, restaurants and convenience stores, and walking distance to many attractions. The hotel is very clean, each room has a refrigerator and washing machine, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
