KABIN Taka

- good size of the room and bathroom, with some storing spaces; which good for longer stays - nice quality cleaning products offered to customers (shampoo, etc) - good size and great central positioning of the TV (makes it a nice entertainment experience in bed, after a long day) - friendly staff, always smiling and happy to help - good location, close to restaurants, bars or supermarkets and just 20 min walking to Gion neighborhood - nice amenities: liked to have the possibility to get on our own new towels, tea, a vanity kit etc., from the hallway, close to our room, whenever needed - the sustainability focus of the hotel - cleanses standards were great

Loved the gym, location and hangout spots all over the hotel. Coin laundry was excellent also. Friendly personnel, especially the cleaners. Had a great time, requested a quiet room and got one. Unlike what others mentioned, we could see through our room window. But maybe we were just lucky. Amenity carts are lifesavers! Would love to come back in the future. We used the nearby Luup station to rent bikes for our daytoday transport since bus and metro are +-10 mins walking.

We had the largest room type with a kitchenette and tub. By Japanese standards it's spacious, especially for two people (the room can hold up to 3 beds). Bed was comfortable and a great shower space. Modern and clean overall, great little gym and social space. Laundry worked well. Somethings were lacking such as no smart TV (luckily I had my own Roku stick), microwave is at the lobby only , cleaning is only every 4 days (garbage can be collected daily). Overall it is very good value, just 6min walk to the main street. Many eateries and convenient stores near by, also a couple of supermarkets.

We enjoyed the area where the hotel is located close to the market and gion area, the staff members all friendly and helpful if needed, the comfort of the room with a kitchen corner very practical after a day busy here and there, the hotel style, the possibility to get clean new towels, tea bags, tooth brush, razor when needed without having to ask for it every time, the coffee lounge area to enjoy a breakfast, the umbrellas in numbers for the rainy days, the possibility to store luggage. The whole concept actually. everything was done smoothly and with respect. A BIG THANK YOU. Kind regards. Béatrice and Bernard

Honestly the place was great. Beautiful aesthetic, quite big for japanese standards (we had a triple room), and the fact that there was washing machine and drier across the corridor, was a game changer if you’re traveling with a 2 year old baby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. And it was super centric, very convenient to visit places without using public transport. Only downfall I would say is cleaning. They don’t clean daily, and even if we got a very good price, I think it should be included. Either way, very good value for money, considering it’s location in centre Kyoto. We would repeat!
