    The laundry wasn't ideal. Many people use it, and the dryer was inefficient. It made it slow to dry our clothes and made other people wait longer for example 3 hours to wash and dry to small loads.

    Loved the space and atmosphere. Unique, clean and spacious. Would definitely come back here again!

    There was no view outside from our room, this was a bit depressing, so I would not recommend for a long stay.

    Nice hôtel with great common facilities: coffee, tea, ice, microwave, got water, plenty of tables, paid laundry, free luggage lockers

    The only thing that I didn’t like was the laundry situation, they only had 3 washer and 3 dryer - while the clothes automatically washed for 30 min it took a lot longer then an hour to completely dry the clothes.

    Hotel was really pleasant, in a good location with a 7/11 directly downstairs. The room itself was quite was cute - exactly as displayed in the photo. The environment was really nice and relaxing especially for tourist, the open space in the lounge was really nice and they offered free hot & cold water, as well amenities.

    Other locations we stayed had a fridge in the room. The room was a little narrow. Luggage was a little hard to get under the bed once open due to the narrowness of the room.

    The location was great, close to a few different subway lines. Beds were comfortable, showers were good sized with amenities in them and wonderful water pressure. We liked the under the bed luggage space. Rooms had fun designs. Lovely common areas (although we didn't spend much time in them or the room other than to sleep)

    The hotel presents itself as eco-friendly. So I don't understand why they give clean towels every day. Instead of new towels, I would prefer the room service to make the bed :)

    Original room design. Big and comfortable beds. Plenty of storage space under the beds - great use of space. Bus stop directly under the hotel.

    There was 3 adults sharing a room, these rooms are not adequate for 3 people sharing and we should have been made aware of this when we were booking.

    The pillows were a bit rough, and the bed a bit stiff, but for a short stay it gets the job done. Also the lighting overall was a bit dark - I know the vibe is cool hotel, but the light placement in the bedroom created lots of shadows!

    Hotel Tavinos was a great economy option for our trip. The room was a little larger than expected. Great location with a 7/11 directly next door!

    With that being said there wasn’t a whole lot in the immediate area of the hotel so you do need to do the walk almost everytime. The checkin process is a little cumbersome as you have to input every guests info not just the person who booked the hotel

    First off the hotel was very well priced and about a 10min walk from the main area in Kyoto. This hotel was very good for groups as they had multiple room option that had 3 beds which is pretty hard to find.

    Might be slightly cramped for 3 people. Perfect for 2.

    Very close to Ginza district and about 1.5kms away from Kyoto station. So transfer to and from the hotel is easy either via a taxi or bus. There’s a seven eleven just outside the property so you can stock up on necessities fairly easily, the room is perfect for 2 people but it might be slightly cramped for 3.
