Hotel new Hankyu Kyoto

Just as the Reviews said, the service was truly outstanding. And despite being close to the station, it offered great value for money. The room interior was nice, and although the building is old, it was clean. Also, even though it was a unit bath, the bathtub was spacious and I could relax comfortably. I also had dinner at Minokichi at night; it had a calm atmosphere and the food was very delicious. This Hotel was our Accommodation for a trip to Kyoto that we decided on at short notice during Golden Week, and I’m glad we chose this place. I’d like to recommend it to everyone as a Hotel worth staying at. I’m truly sad after seeing an article saying it will be closing soon.

I booked this Accommodation at short notice with the must-have requirement of being close to the station, and it exceeded my expectations. It almost felt like a waste that I stayed only one night. My Room had a small tatami sitting area, which really enhanced the Japanese atmosphere and made it very relaxing. Since my Room faced toward the station, I couldn’t see Kyoto Tower from the Room, but stepping outside for a moment gave me a beautiful view. I had to check out early the next morning, so it was truly disappointing that I couldn’t fully enjoy the Hotel—so I’d love to choose it again next time. Also, instead of a card key, the Room key was an old-fashioned “click-to-open” type with a keychain, which felt pleasantly retro and fun to me.
