Irori Kyoto Station Higashi-Honganji

It was near enough to Kyoto station. A 5 to 10 mins stroll and the rooms are clean, with absolutely comfortable beds to rest in.

Location was very convenient, close to Kyoto station(8-10min walk), and also to streets where you can get buses to main attractions. The surrounding area is full of restaurants and stores because Kyoto station is a gathering of many shopping malls buildings and underground passageways full of stores. Despite that, the hotel is located in a quiet and silent area. There is an elevator at the hotel so you can have luggage with you. They also provide shampoo, conditioner and body soap besides several other small vanity items and there are some items available at the reception. The apartment is equipped with a sink, a cooktop, a microwave and a fridge that allows you to have some small meals within your own room. The bathroom is small but with separate areas with the toilet with a small sink and the shower/bathtub. The toilet is very comfortable and the bathroom has a heater. There is another sink outside the bathroom also with a mirror and a cabinet. All the access (to Irori and also to the apartments) is made by code (no cards for doors or keys needed)

We loved this place, on arrival we were early and they accommodated us with letting us get into our room early which was brilliant! The staff were really helpful and friendly. The room was small but perfectly formed, we had everything we needed including a washing machine which was really useful after travelling for a few days already, we managed to get our washing done and dried in the time we were in Kyoto. The location was near the station so not in the centre of everything but easily within walking/cycling/bus or train distance to the main events. We hired bikes one day from a local shop and cycled to the bamboo grove and golden pavilion.

Location is very convenient, 1 min to Family Mart convenience store and 8 min to Kyoto station. Bit it's surrounding is very quiet and almost hidden. That's why I liked it the most. Easily fit our family of 4. Room was small but that's expected in Japanese standard.

The room layout itself was quite comfortable for 3 adults. And the location was near public transport, shopping and restaurants. Staff was lovely and helpful!
