Really good location - walking distance to most things. Shower was nice and clean, the pressure was strong. Bed was massive (biggest bed i ever laid on) Hotel has a lot of facilities like coin laundry, vending machine, filtered water and public spa bath for female & male Service and staff was top notch

We knew the room would be small but it was smaller than what we expected. Very tight to open 2 luggages and also to walk around freely. Once you open luggages, the free space you have left is pretty much the bed. Our window view was inside of a staircase - very weird and we had to keep the windows closed at all times just incase people walk past and look in. I recommend skipping on the breakfast, it’s not worth the 1,500 yen per person in my opinion.

At first we were unsure how would the accomodation be as it was bit far from shijo dori - Kyoto downtown. And was comparatively economical It turned out to be best one in our whole trip for multiple reasons such as - 50m from bus stop, free drinks for hotel guest in allocated hours, common areas to eat so you can buy your food to eat, Spa/onsen for free, and most importantly the room was bigger than tokyo and osaka ones. The location, room size, hotel facilities and most importantly affordability was win for me

Nothing in particular, however if the hotel had outdoor view - itd be top notch and if they could do clean room in two days intervals

This was my second stay at Hotel Amanek and it was just as good as I remembered. To me it’s perfectly situated on the bus route from Kyoto station (3 stops) and a short walk over the bridge to the Keihan line to Nara or a bit further walk up to Gion and the temples and Pagodas there. The Onsen is also a great and the hotel amenities (robes and toothbrushes etc) are a nice touch.

The only thing we had an issue with was the Digital information center on the TV which indicated that there was a free washer but when we checked in person, all 3 machines were in use.

Our stay at the Amanek Hotel in Kyoto was incredible. The first thing we noticed was the excellent location—you can walk to many places, and there's a train station and bus stops right next to the hotel, so transportation and location are a 10/10. The room was fantastic, very modern, and the furniture even seemed new. The daily breakfast was delicious, and I definitely enjoyed my stay here; I highly recommend it. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. The 15-hour flight from Mexico was totally worth it to arrive and relax at this hotel.

The main thing we disliked was the horrible smell of cigarette smoke that filled the entire first floor due to the smoking room. What bothered us the most was that the elevator was also permeated with this odor—I’m not sure if the ventilation systems were connected, but it’s definitely something I would recommend improving. Another issue, although understandable, was the breakfast hours. For most foreigners, the schedule felt a bit tight; there were many days when we arrived just 10 minutes after 9:30 am. Perhaps extending the breakfast time a little would be a good idea.

Very comfortable beds, great location close to Nishiki Market and Takashimaya (Nintendo store), friendly staff. The onsen was very nice as well.

The room is ridiculously small, we had a hard time with our luggage. The internet was faulty on my laptop inside the room, I had a hard time with that, and one time the answer they gave me was to just wait. I didn't like that I had to go to the water cooler on the 2nd floor (I was on the 7th), and the breakfast was very hard to get used to (I'm not a fan of eating fish and rice at 9 am), as well as ending quite soon, but certainly helped.

Easily accessible by bus from the main station, but also not too far to walk. It is also in a good location to visit other famous areas of the city. The hotel felt clean and modern, the lounge area with free drinks at specified hours was a very welcome addition. The room itself was lovely and the bathroom and shower were clean and spacious. Pretty solid view of Kyoto too! Staff were helpful, welcoming and attentive :)

Elevators smelt slightly smoky at times due to the vicinity of the smoking room. Not enough to warrant a major issue though.

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights. The staff was really nice, we could send the luggage beforehand for them to receive and also leave the luggage after the check-out time for a few hours. The room was ok, with a big bed, a table with two chairs, a TV, a fridge, bathroom with a shower. We enjoyed the common bath (separated by gender), and the washer and dryer (paid). There was also a drinks vending machine and water cooler. We didn't have breakfast there.

The room was smaller than anticipated, with little space to move around but manageable. The cleanliness was okay-ish, the room was a bit dusty (under the bed where you store your luggage a bit too dusty). Also, the window faced the fake balcony, so no view. We received a room facing the street and it was quite noisy. If not for the common bathroom and the washer and dryer, I would have given a 7.

Stayed here for 3 nights and the location was good for walking to Gion, Yasaka shrine, Pontocho, Nazen-ji and more. Hotel was clean and the shower was really nice. They could have provided more amenities like tea/coffee but overall we enjoyed our stay.

It was small for 2 people and 2 luggage’s but we managed. We asked the staff to help us with luggage transfer but unfortunately weren’t able to help us and convey we had to go to Yamato delivery service directly for the transfer we wanted.

The hotel facilities and staff were excellent. Everything is really modern and clean. The bed was firmer than what we’re used to but still very comfortable. The shower was amazing!! Overall it was a great experience, the small size of the room makes it a little bit of a challenge to manage large luggage but they’ve got clever design to make use of the small space. We stayed in a king bed which was very nice. The pillows were very unusual, they seemed to have a grain in them? We enjoyed our stay.

The location in more on the east side of the city center which made the walk to Nishiki Market, Kiyomizudera and other nearby attractions quite manageable. This goes without saying for Kyoto, but bring your walking shoes! There's so much to see just east of the river from this hotel. The staff were very friendly and upon request, were able to call us a cab back to Kyoto Station during check-out. There is a 7-11 very close by which made late night snacking incredibly easy! The included breakfast was tasty with both western and Japanese options. We shipped our luggage to this hotel which made things very easy.

The lounge had limited hours in the day/evening, so we weren't able to use the space to get some work done on our computers at a proper table. That would be an excellent amenity if the hotel made it available as a working space during certain hours.
