RESI STAY THE KYOTO

Property was well located, not far from the station and many bus stops. Also there was a konbini closed by which was convenient to buy food. The property is clean and well equipped, and the entrance feels very Japanese!

We checked in at the main office and Resi Stay had a free shuttle from their check in office to the property. At the property, the front desk was staffed early afternoon til 11pm nightly. Everything was explained thoroughly at check in. Questions were answered. Property was in a good location 15 min walking to kyoto station. Close to supermarket, convenience store, transit, attractions, restaurants and shopping. Room was tight as expected but very comfortable equipped with widescreen TV, washer, full kitchen and the shower became the dryer. We washed clothes as needed...fabulous! We had a family room with a twin, a twin size futon, a double bed. Door separated kitchen and washer from beds so quiet. 4 adults, 4 large suitcases and backpacks....we were able to move the table and chair and stool to the side and store the suitcases neatly against the wall so we had walking space. This way we were able to open 1 suitcase on the floor at a time. Wifi and elevator and AC all worked well. Umbrellas to borrow by the front door. Bicycles to rent if desired. Vending machine available by the lobby as well as luggage storage as needed. Very secure building...front door locked always and accessible by room key or code.

Great little hotel! Good locational, close to Kyoto Station a several lovely restaurants - try the ramen on the corner! Our room was nice a big for the 5 of us. The washing machine and drying room was extremely handy. The kitchenette was well appointed. Met by a lovely young male staff member at check in that took his time explaining how everything worked. Luggage storage area available for before and after which is handy.

Walking distance from Kyoto station. Includes basic amenities- washing machine (without dryer), a separate dryer in the bathroom (hang clothes on the bar and the dryer warms the bathroom) and kitchenette. Helpful staff.

The main advantage of the hotel is the young gentelman at the reception desk, that speaks good English and is very friendly - it was the first person in Japan that I could ask some of the questions that I had about japanese every day life. The hotel overall met my needs, however it looks bigger and more funky on photos than it is in reality. The room was equipped with ironing set and some cookware, that we used.
