    Little inconveniences: taps are outside of the bathroom. You are kind of strongly pushed to download an app (which was easy to use) to manage your booking.

    The staff was friendly and everyone was fluent in English. Metro and/or touristic spots are available by 10-15min walk. Rooms' size are also fine. Price is reasonable.

    Excellent hotel in the middle of Kyoto. The hotel is new, just opened, very beautiful, great style, combining modern and classic japanese style Rooms are very big (!!!), very wide, a lot of space next to beds, size that is not common even for Europe, letalone for Japan (we had a room for three). Price is also very very good. Personnel super profy, the whole place has a super cool vibe. We also stayed in Kyoto at another hotel, at the same price, and they don't even begin to compare. Also very close (10 min walk or less) to Teramachi shopping street, and Nishiki market.

    There are so many things to appreciate while staying at Kabin Kyoto : the location (close to the subway and the market/ many shops around / konbinis...), cleanliness of the room, a great team which speaks many languages... I highly recommend this place

    Nothing really that i did not like.

    The staff is most helpful. Very conversant in English. Lifts are large to move big bags. Rooms are delightful. Toilets & Showers generous. The location was AMAZING, as stations, the main road, the GOIN area, the Shopping street, the night market Nishiki, the Pontocho Alley etc were close by. Great eating joints, bars, cafes and shops in the neighbourhood. The YAMANATA black cat baggage transfer office is 5 mins walk.

    Unfortunately cafe never seemed to be open which was a shame as the board menu looked great.

    Good location. Great room. Fabulous shower with separate toilet. Leg massager and facial steamer in the room. Bar on-site and a cafe.

    The bartender (non-Japanese, hat and glasses) did not seem to be interested in our business whatsoever. Husband drinks lager and wines and I am alcohol free. There was one lager available and literally no non-alcoholic options were offered by your man - not even Diet Coke. We ordered a tonic and ice (which your bartender actually questioned) and a lager and we were so put off by his vibe we did the rest of our drinking for the weekend (including coffees) away from the hotel. We stayed in four hotels across three cities in Japan alone and this was easily the worst bar service we experienced in any hotel, bar, restaurant (even the convenience stores made us feel more welcome). Your bartender made us feel like we were an annoyance and you missed an opportunity to serve your customers. Not a great first impression.

    We were welcomed warmly by reception staff. And our room was huge compared to others we stayed in in Osaka and Tokyo. The location was great, the laundry was convenient and the shower was a highlight!

    The information regarding location and building provided when booking. considering there are more than the one building this needs to be clear and accurate. The last minute changes to services.

    Perfect and comfy, if you don’t have a toddler.

    For a family with toddler, it’s difficult not to have the autonomy to prepare baby food (accessible microwave and a working fridge). The fridge in the room didn’t work. Also, the washing machine did a very poor job when drying the clothes even though we used the dry program additionally (as there was no clothesline available, only 5 hangers and no hooks). But, the Team supported us by heating the food in the staff microwave every time we requested and lent additional hangers so that we could hang the wet clothes everywhere possible in the room.

    Extremely friendly and helpful staff; great quality of towels, bed-linens, shower and breakfast (delicious); convenient location and wide range of supplies.

    It doesn’t have self storage luggage space like other Kabin hotels.

    Kabin Kyoto is one of the biggest Kabin hotels in the area. The facilities are beautifully designed with a patio in the middle, rooms are big and comfortable, it has 24 h front desk and typical amenities including laundry machines. It’s also got a bar and other leisure areas. Location is superb.

    Understanding the push for digitalization across businesses, self check-in is becoming the norm as it was the case for Kabin Kyoto. Would still prefer a more human touch rather than self-check in, but fair enough if done for efficiency

    Excellent stay, with spacious rooms with comfortable beds! Also, the property has an inner patio with trees, which is extremely pleasant as it gives a nice fresh touch

    Nice and clean rooms, really good showers. The location is in a calm neighborhood very close to subway stations. Also you can walk to many nice places and restaurants. The breakfast is a bit pricy but really good. So are the drinks at the hotel bar. The personnel ist tasks helpful and friendly. I had an awesome stay, thanks!

    The staff is really friendly, the hotel is really nice and the room is very clean, comfortable and spacious. We have also used the washing facilities. The hotel is located in a quiet area so it feels a bit remote from other areas. It is a short walk from the Shinkyogoku shopping street and we used public transport to get to the main train station.

    The only downside was that the window did not open at all, it was sealed, with milky white film over it, so the only possibility to move the air in the room was with AC. The tourist tax needed to be paid on site, it is not included in the booking.com total room price.

    The hotel offers comfortable rooms which are way larger than Japanese standard. Because of this our stay was more relaxing as we finally didn’t bump into our luggage at every step. The room was modern, with a very large bed and a few cupboards. The shower in the bathroom was awesome too. There was a washing machine on every floor, so convenient! The hotel stuff was very helpful.
