    Hotel was clean, staff were very helpful, and the Onsen on the roof was absolutely amazing! The location is also spot on, just a leisurely 5 minute walk to Kyoto station. I would definitely come back to this hotel if I come back to Kyoto

    When I booked the room I asked for a quiet room. I was put into a room on the second floor on the street side over a bus stop. After the third night of poor sleep, I asked for a different quiet room. At first I was asked to pay an additional 1,000 yen per night for the change which I was happy to do. After I returned with my wallet someone who I believe was the manager kindly waived this fee. I asked this same person if I could please have a different pillow since the ones in the room were hard and uncomfortable. He begrudgingly bestowed one to me. I felt as if I had overstepped somehow. Not the best customer service from this one person. Beds were too firm for my arthritic bones.

    Location next to Kyoto station. Wonderful hot springs on 9th floor. Free ice cream and free ramen after 9:30pm. Average size room. Mostly all of the staff were kind and helpful.

    The yonaki soba noodles are not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or halal/kosher diets. There should be a warning sign about this point. If some soy sauce is provided and the original soup is not added to the bowl, then the noodles can be consumed by almost everyone.

    The location was absolutely unbeatable as it took only a few minutes on foot to reach Kyoto Station. The attached 24-hour convenience store is perfect for midnight snacks and drinks. The sauna as well as the variety of baths were very satisfactory. Plus, it was awesome to be able to relax with ice cream and probiotic drinks at the manga corner. The provided pajamas were very comfy.

    For the Massage, It says full body 60 min massage. I was face down the whole time so I only got my back side compressed the whole hour. So I was a little disappointed on that

    Very clean and front desk was so helpful and kind to me. Plenty of room and so comfortable. Would absolutely come back! The onsen was also nice.

    Nice location next to a convenience store and the train station with Porta food market. Will definitely stay near the station, if I visit again. Free washing machines. Nice shower with good water pressure and nice bed. I couldn't use the onsen, but looked nice and had free ice cream.

    We have stayed at this hotel on several past trips. We usually have lots of questions and the staff at this hotel has always been very kind and patient with us. Our visit to Kyoto is always made better by the kindness and understanding of the staff. Our room, as usual, was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the onsen, the breakfast buffet and yonaki soba as well as the ice cream in the evening and complimentary drinks in the morning after relaxing in the onsen. This hotel is in a great location for all types of transportation needs.

    Compared to other Dormy Inn's I have visited, I am not sure this place exceeds the usual standard which would justify its 'Premium' status and increased price tag. But the location may make it worth it nevertheless.

    The location was excellent - right next to the station and within walking distance from many of the great temples in Kyoto. The staff was nice and helpful, and the breakfast was reasonable for the price.

    My room is assigned at 3/F and facing to the road, quite noisy. The room air-conditioner is a bit noisy too. I like breakfast, I had it in last time I stayed here. But I did not order this time, it’s quite expensive 2300 yen because the room price is expensive too. Can improve the cleanliness of the hotspring, I found the used hairband and bandage at the side of the outdoor hotspring at night and they were still there at the next morning and next night time.

    I like the hotspring with indoor and outdoor. With complimentary ice cream and drinks after hotspring. I like free coffee at the morning, free ramen at night. I like free snack in the fringe. I like the Refra Hair dryer in the hotspring. Very good location to the Kyoto station and bus terminal.

    The room is typically small, which I accept. However there is no luggage rack and I had lay it open it on my bed. That’s kind of dirty. Also breakfast price went up?

    The location is great, few mins walk to trains & bus station.
