Experience of the stay
Staying at a 4-star hotel.
I don't often get to stay at a hotel that carries your luggage to the room, so I was thrilled just by the atmosphere.
At the end of the check-in process, they asked, 'Do you have any luggage that needs assistance?'
I'm sorry. I'm a backpacker. 😂
I just had a backpack and a small bag, so I headed to my room quickly by myself.
When I took the elevator, I noticed some interesting buttons 👀
Open, close… there were no familiar symbols ▶︎◀︎, and I was momentarily confused.
There were round buttons at the top labeled 【OPEN DOOR】【CLOSE DOOR】.
This is something even someone with weak English skills can understand.
I feel that there are many foreigners at more expensive hotels, so having English signage is great.
The room was a twin (NON SMOKING STANDARD/8F KYOTO STYLE FLOOR).
They said it was a Kyoto style floor, but… I forgot to check the other floors to compare! (Big blunder)
▼ Points of interest
- Voltage transformer available
- Luggage rack available
- Bathtub available & amenities in the room
- Bathroom door opens inward (it usually opens outward, so it felt strange)
- There’s a pool and gym on the first floor of the building
- Shuttle bus to Kyoto Station (every 20 minutes)
- Breakfast is a buffet at a rotating observation restaurant, but it costs over 4000 yen!
(There's a 20% off coupon at the front desk, so if you're interested, please ask!)
I prioritize sleep, so even at places where breakfast is free, I'm usually not one to eat much... (sweat)
▼ Access
It's a 7-minute walk from Kyoto Station.
When I saw the pedestrian bridge, I thought, 'Huh, a pedestrian bridge? 🥺' but there's also a crosswalk heading towards the hotel.
Don't worry! (laugh)
Experiences during the trip
I found a Dan Dan noodle shop behind Yodobashi Camera in front of Kyoto Station.
I went to the Dan Dan noodle shop, Ebis.
I'm not good with spicy food, so I opted for cheese Dan Dan noodles, but I could have selected the spiciness level from 1 to 5, so maybe it would have been fine to add cheese and keep the spiciness at normal?Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
