I stayed at this hotel for just one night because of a major train disruption caused by Typhoon Ampil, what made it impossible to get to Tokyo on 8/16. The hotel is located on the building underneath the Kyoto Tower, across from the main train station, what makes it very convenient. The place is a little run down and my room smelled like mold, not sure if from the carpet or the drain in the bathroom. Very basic room but enough for one night. The staff was very helpful and nice. Wouldn’t stay again.

The hotel is just across street from the Kyoto station. There are a lot of shopping, dining option in the station. You can easily get everywhere you want to go and eat variety food at your choice. Room is small but it's Japan. So that's what you get anyway. It's just enough to rest for two of us.

The Kyoto Tower Hotel is very convenient. Its across the street from Kyoto Station which makes it easier to catch a bus and/or subway. There are so many dining options, as well as shopping. Everything is walkable too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms have a lot of room and the bedding was comfortable. We were able to schedule a in-room massage to unwind from a day of sightseeing.

Nice place to stay for some time in Kyoto. The hotel located right across the street from the Kyoto train station. Very quick access to travel in the area as the bus station is there too. Plenty of shopping at the station as well as it is a massive underground mall. In the baaement of the hotel building there is a large food court as well with many options to choose from at reasonable prices.

Easy Hotel
The hotel was fine. They were kind enough to keep our luggage both before checking in and after checking out for a few hours. I prefer to have amenities in the room rather than in the lobby for you to pick up. The room was small, but quite average for a Japanese city hotel. The location across from the train station worked well for us.

We stayed one night at this property. We were amazed by our room. It was so large. It had 3 bunkbeds and a long couch that could easily fit 2 more people. I think the square footage was over 800 square feet and it also included 2 bathrooms. The room was new and updated and we wished we could have stayed longer. With a family of 6 we had so much room. It wasn't cramped at all. We were surprised by how updated the room was because when you walk through the hotel corridors, it seems like it would be a dated hotel. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not. The hotel offered luggage forwarding services. We didn't have time to go up to the tower, but hoping that when we come back to visit we can go again. Very convenient location. So close to the JR Rail.
