This hotel tick off most of my dream hotel request: - Fair price - has Hot commnunal bath (same as onsen) - Big room space ( twin room seems to be bigger than double room) - Friendly staff - 2x massage chairs - Hotel breakfast are nice and delicious, bit on pricey 2750 yen/day but very worth to try. We were full balance and feel energised - flow drink and snack bars - nice decor with ryokan japanese style- feel super cozy - there are Lawson, 7 eleven and family 5-10mins walk away. - Nishiki market is 9mins walk but I found the market to be more ex than Kuromon in Osaka, the only special thing is the mix chilli oil furikake.

location: it tuck away in a small street so it is a 10mins to the nearest station. If you travelling from Osaka, get the Hankyu line to Karasuma station exit 24 there will be a elevator so you no need to carry heavy luggages

Maybe I didn’t pay attention during booking, but it exceeded my expectations! So many services are available for free like coffee and smoothies before breakfast, then afternoon tea with lots of sweet treats, wine and even late snacks and rice with many toppings. Sparkling wine for breakfast. Hot bath (communal bath) included, nice experience. Massage chairs, lots of amenities. Friendly staff, good location. If I ever return to Kyoto I will stay here again 100%. Also a small library at the lobby was so cute, my kid loved some books and they were fun even without knowing the language, had to find and buy them afterwards :)

No view, but we didn’t care at all. Other things are great.

A dream of a place . Fabulous room with a bathroom and separate toilet which helped with 3 in our room . Large bath rather than the short deep tub I’ve had in other rooms! Provision of necessities such as tooth brush. Washing machine was combined with drier making it easier to get a load done . Access to lounge with drinks during the day and great option of snacks late afternoon onwards. Walking distance to huge number of quirky little shops and restaurants as well as large department stores.

Couldn’t open the window so got a bit hot at times.

The location was convient. The staff was very helpful.

It was the 3rd time we stayed here. We loved the spacious Superior Hollywood Twin Room and booked this room type again this time. However, we were given a room much smaller than the one we stayed at the last 2 times upon arrival. According to the staff, some other rooms had been refurbished and turned into Superior Hollywood Twin Room to increase the number of this room type. Beware that some Superior Hollywood Twin Rooms are significantly smaller than others.

Hotel Intergate was an excellent hotel for multiple reasons. I chose it largely for its location which was very near to the central (Shijo) subway lines, and within walking or cross-subway distance to the East side of Kyoto (across the Kamo River), as well as a block from the Nishiki market and one subway stop from Nijo Castle. The accomodations are very good, its rates reasonable, and the ongoing food presentation from its manifold and excellent breakfasts to the variety of late-afternoon thru evening free food-and-drink provisions make it a fine place to return to and relax after a day of sightseeing. Its staff its courteous and helpful. Excellent choice.

Nothing

Great place to stay with a baby. Bassinet/cot is for a new born to under one in my experience. We bought a portable cot which fit fine. The rooms are really sound proof. The hotel is so wonderful and we couldn't fault anything. The staff were so friendly and pleasant. Massage chairs are a nice touch as are the amenities! Beautiful area to stay in if you wander through the back streets away from the main road. Breakfast is fun for a one off to have a taste of Japan! We had a really pleasurable stay for 4 nights.

The hotel had so many meal amenities free of charge. They had a wonderful afternoon buffet. Great coffee as well. I have also liked their massage chair, after a log walking day. Great location, close enough to many tourist attractions and in a charming area. Special thanks to Mr. Chen Yi Li which have helped me with an issue I had with my luggage at Yamato Transport.

The room was small (as advertised) but very comfortable with modern fittings; Nobody can check-in until 3pm on the dot, even if the rooms are ready. I understand order is a big part of the culture in Japan but this feels a bit much

They had a guest lounge downstairs to have a drink in at the end of the day. The hotel provided red and white wine, cocktail of the day, sparkling wine and snacks which was a nice touch at the end of the day. The coin operated washing machines were also handy.

The downstairs lounge entry conditions were a bit confusing. On a board at the entrance, it gave the impression we could go there for a basic breakfast - toast and coffee etc. which we did the first morning - no problems. We understood we could not have the hot buffet/full breakfast. On the second morning we went in again but were practical chased out and told we were not permitted in there before 10.00am. The staff had some difficulty explaining the set up to us but at the end of the day we were not overly concerned.

This hotel has so many things that we loved. Location is so good, for our needs, we know this city very well and we like to walk everywhere, so for us location couldn't have been better, at what you could call "city center". Main train station is a 30 minutes walk, so someone who needs to be close to the main train station won't consider it so good. Room was also very confortable, big and warm (it was freezing outside). Bed was confortable, all perfect in regards the room. The hotel also offers some amenities that are so enjoyable. For us a comunal bath, or onsen, is essential. Onsen at Intergate Hotel was good, offering many skincare products as well. There's also some snacks and drinks that you can enjoy if you happen to pass by the hotel during the day, this is also a nice treat, and breakfast was absolutely delicious! if you are looking for a Japanese style breakfast you'll definetly love it here, everything was delicious, we stayed for over a week and never got bored of eating similar dishes everyday. If you like a more western style breakfast you will also find some options. People working at the hotel is also very polite and nice.

For us it was a very pleasant stay, there is nothing that we didn't like, but there are some things to mention. The hotel is very busy, always, at all times. I guess this is a good sign, people wants to stay at this hotel. Don't expect to be alone during breakfast or at the onsen, even at 6 am, when the onsen opens it's doors, there's people, there's also people waiting for breakfast, it's not a quiet hotel. Room windows can not be opened and at some rooms there's a privacy system that doesn't allow you to see outside. Somehow it feels like there's no windows.

Almost central location (close to the metro stations and bus stops). Clean room of decent size, lovely buffet breakfast, happy (wine) hours. Friendly English speaking stuff at reception. Free tea bags can be picked up near reception. Airport bag delivery (not free).

Lack of drawers in the room so had to keep scattered every little thing. Low water pressure in the tap (although good enough in the shower). No proper window so had to use air conditioner even when it was just +7-8 outside (room becomes excessively warm very quickly, apparently when you are away for awhile and the electricity is off).
