Convenient location close to Kyoto station. Where you can also take buses (More common in this city than the metro in Tokyo or Osaka), that will take you to the major tourist places. (Recommend using the Japan Travel Navitime for planning transport, tells you which bus stops, where, etc.) Comfortable and modern. Quiet and peaceful. Had a ‘snack room’ which was nice. washing machines in basement. (not many or modern). Many little restaurants and convenient stores around. Beware, it is behind (and ‘hidden’) the Tune Stay hotel. So when using google maps or taxi, etc. use this better. Outside on street there is NO sign of ‘The Hideout’. Have to go through the Tune Stay hotel to the back (like a “secret door”) The neighborhood is not the prettiest, but it is convenient for grabbing public transport and trains for connections. Within walking distance. Would consider staying again.

What a gem! It's spacious, clean well-equipped and conveniently located 10 min walk from Kyoto station! The staff was friendly and accommodating and spoke English as well. I wish I had stayed longer.

It was a little difficult to find initially but then the name makes sense. It's a gem of a hideout and it's tucked away unassuming behind another building. There's no parking so forget it if you have a car and no bike rental on site. But I'm really stretching for anything to criticize It was lovely.

Hideout was the highlight of our accomodations for our whole Japan trip. It's an annexed section of the Tune Stay Hotel. Hideout guests get their own lift AND private games room and a whole bar filled with drinks (soft and alcoholic) and snacks to take at your leisure at no extra cost! This was such a great feature! Pottering about the amazing library was so nice too! Staff and amenities were fantastic and the location is very close to Kyoto station so was a winner all round! There is also a great pizza place called Centro a 3 min walk from the hotel for when you want a change from Japanese food.

No gym but that's just being picky. The hotel is wonderful!

Spacious room (huge, with a kitchenette). Quite. In room record player with an excellent mix of music to choose from. A games room stocked with assorted board games. Free alcoholic beverages (1 glass of wine, tinned G n T, unlimited cans of beer) and nibbles. The Hideout (shares a reception) is behind another (lesser) hotel which gives in an exclusive feeling. The decor is minimalist with clean lines. The bathroom/wet room is huge, with a separate loo. The lighting in the room was in sections and was motion activated (which is great is you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night).

No makeup or full length mirror. The complimentary slippers were poor. No tea towels.

The room was very big for 4 people with plenty of space for luggage and for kids to play. Well equipped kitchen so we could cook breakfast. The bathroom was spacious witu a large bathtub. Very stylish and comfortable- wish we could have stayed longer. The free wine and snacks were a nice treat! My family loved this property.

It was confusing to find as there is no signage outside. You have to enter the Tunestay hotel to get to Hideout behind. The 5pm check in is also very late (usually 3pm) so we had to hang out in the lounge area which was pretty crowded with everyone trying to check in at the same time. Beds could have been a little more comfortable but they were good enough.

Location was great, lots of restaurants close by, I loved the bonus added extra's, we stayed in the Junior Suite, some would say this is expensive, I found the price range excellent for the size of the room, the amazing facilities and also need to complement the staff, all were polite, informative and extremely helpful. The bonus options for the room were all explained prior to getting to the room, it was also thoroughly documented in the room, was a pleasure to stay somewhere and have this information up front, not check out and then think, oh, I never knew that was an option! You can't go wrong with this hotel, great for couples wanting a good, relaxing but fun night, you have access to books, records and many other bonus treats, you will not regret booking this hotel, try out the Gin Tasting, very reasonably priced also.

What didn't I like, well, not knowing this option was there previously, wish I'd looked at Kyoto sooner, see, we were already staying 18 days in Tokyo (BOOKED and paid for at single hotel) and made a few one night stays around here and there, this one I wish I had of been longer, it's all I could think of, honestly couldn't fault any aspect of the hotel.

Beautiful clean large rooms with amazing warm staff. The lounge with the free drinks and snacks is nice to have. We had a noisy room due to the rain and the staff refunded us one night and offered to change it for us. Highlight of the stay was the super kind receptions who went out of hey way to help. We wanted to return an item and the receptionist went out of her way to suggest to return the item for us. She went out on the street to speak with the taxi driver and guide him where to take us. Super sweet and helpful.

We booked a suite and the lounge space and snack bar was very well stocked. The snacks/drinks were all free and they provided coins for the wine machine when we checked in. Super awesome to come home and have a night cap. The suite was very large and had plenty of space for all three of us and our luggage. The record player in the room was a nice touch. The hotel is conveniently located 8 mins walking from Kyoto station which was nice to be able to jump on the bullet train quickly!

One minor detail, the couch in our room had a rip in it which made it feel worn down but not a huge deal. Also, one of the pajamas had a big stain on the chest which was a little odd.

The Hideout was probably one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. it was an incredible location that is close to transit, and so many fun things to do. Our room in the Hideout was exceptional!! We almost didn't want to explore the city because our room was so cool! The in-room amenities were outstanding, and the lounge was the best amenity we have ever had. It was so nice to pop up after a long day of sightseeing and grab a fun drink and snack before dinner.

Nothing

I would sell a kidney to stay here again
