    The flip flops provided were all huge, so it would be good to provide different sizes. The bathroom lacked some space for putting your clothes - might be a good idea to install a small shelf, e.g. above the toilet. The TVs were old (not smart), so we weren't able to watch Netflix on the TV (there was no HDMI cable provided either).

    Our room was nice and comfortable, including good beds and two pillows of different softness. Amenities such as tea, free access to clean towels or toilet paper were a plus. I loved the large shower in our bathroom. There was quite a lot of storage space for clothes (big closet). The staff was polite and friendly. The location was great - close to many restaurants etc., but away from the noise of main streets. We were also able to quickly and easily check in via an app prior to arriving at the hotel.

    Pillows but I think that's a japan thing - they love their feather or rock hard pillows. No view - but happy to compromise for everything else it included.

    Amazing place, friendly staff, perfect location - walking distance to nishiki market/pontocho alley/gion and handy to a few train stations to get to all your temples and shrines. Size of room was perfect, wish we had stayed longer. Also had washing facilities.

    Because I booked this place for two different rooms I get to review it twice. I would return again. Great hotel that surpassed my expectations. Good location away from main roads. Room was very comfortable, the bathroom was cool and the shower superb. The staff were amazing and helpful. And reasonably priced too, I thought it was good value for money. It is a short walk to "Shijo-Dori" and the Nishiki Market and public transport to other parts of town is relatively close by. I really recommend the nearby restaurants Juju Teramachi for Okonomiyaki and Tsujiya Shijogokomachiten for Yakatori. Superb meals.

    The hotel has a 3-day only cleaning service, and you can help yourself to any amenities and toilet paper etc, but personally its not an approach that I appreciated at a 4* star hotel. Would prefer a more regular approach (every second day). Staff was kind but none of them is Japanese and was a bit tricky to get help for reservations. They also do not offer transfer of luggage and you need to do that yourself.

    Its a modern and nicely designed hotel, very well located in Kyoto center and facilities are new and comfortable.

    It is a bit of a walk to the closest transportation, but not too bad. Around 10-15 minutes.

    New, clean hotel. Very nice rooms, western style. Great shower and comfy bed. Hotel is in a quiet, residential area.

    The beds were quite hard even for Japan and it was a little strange to have the bathroom sink outside the bathroom. Apart from that it was great

    Kabin Taka is beautifully decorated. The rooms were a good size for Japan. The staff are very helpful. The room was very quiet also.

    Rooms on the ground floor don’t have external ventilation such as opening windows. Also our room had a few problems in the bathroom: the extractor was not working nor the toilet remote control that control many of its key functions. This may not be the case across the board but it still was a bit disheartening to be given a room in such condition.

    Kabin Taka is one of the many Kabin hotels in the area, but not the biggest one. The room was big and comfortable and the location is quite good (near Shijo station and shops, restaurants, etc) while still being a quiet street. The hotel is modern, has lavatory, amenities, and you can leave your luggge in a self storage area.

    The fact that there wasn’t a view.

    The staff were excellent. Always obliging with our questions. We list a camera while there and the staff were extremely helpful with trying to find it. Contacting the taxi company for us and checking the CCTV. Special thanks to Cora.

    Unfortunately they’re not offering the luggage transport to other cities . So if you intend to do that, make sure you’re doing that with enough puffer time !

    Good located , close to Nashiki Market and other various restaurants.

    We really have nothing to complain about - if you pressed us, the only thing we lacked was a view from our window, but we didn't mind that much.

    We absolutely LOVED Kabin Taka. It is a wonderful location for exploring Kyoto, with many great restaurants and bakeries nearby. It's so close to all of the transport links, so you can get anywhere quickly - or walk! The hotel itself is so lovely. Comfortable, contemporary, spacious.
