The location was great, walking distances to bus stop and two subway stations. Kyoto station is less than 1 km away. The room was always kept clean, even when we did not request for room make-up they will still provide you with fresh towels, water bottles and other amenities. The staff were always nice, greeting us on our way out/in. There are two convenience stores nearby, easy walk for a quick snack or shop. They have two washing machines and two dryers, you only need a 100 yen coin for each machine and you will get your clothes fresh, clean, and dry. You can also borrow an iron if you need one. They also provide microwave, water dispenser, and ice dispenser in the common area. And I like how the neighborhood is quiet and not crowded.

The lightings in the room. Either keep all the lights on (except for the lightings in the hallway, you can turn it off) or all lights are off. I am not comfortable with total darkness while sleeping, so I would like to keep one light on. Unfortunately the lighting system in the room can not provide that.

- 10 mins walk to Kyoto station, was quite convenient when we wanted to save on transport. - Room was clean and cozy

- Room was quite small, minimal walking space after opening 2 luggages. - There was additional tourist tax/day to be paid at the reception during check-in (~200Y/pax/day). Was not aware that there was additional charges on top of the 10% VAT when making the reservation.

Industrial chic style, with comfortable rooms. (For those with mobility challenges, be aware that the beds are at floor level.) Additional toiletries available in the reception, including bath salts. You can also get a voucher for the nearby public bath. The hotel has bicycles and even umbrellas available. Quiet neighbourhood. Kyoto Station is a 15-minute walk away, and the Kujo metro station is a bit closer than that. The hotel has an art gallery on the ground floor, which hosts exhibitions and concerts. Friendly, helpful staff.

Everyday that we requested our room not be made up, housekeeping left a bag outside our door with a new set of towels, toiletries, everything, which was unnecessary.

We loved this little gem despite the tiny room. The vibe was so friendly, and warm. The reception staff were so kind and generous. They helped us with a few words of Japanese too! For us the location was perfect - south of the station rather than north where all the 'action' is. It felt like living in Kyoto like a local. The restaurants the hotel recommended were carefully chosen and excellent. We had dinner at 3 within a few minutes walk. All were amazing especially the Ramen one! Bed was very comfortable, the room spotlessly clean.

Like most hotels in Japan the rooms are the size of pocket handkerchiefs!

Cheap, close to Kyoto station and subway. Staff were excellent and went above and beyond to assist with hotel equipment. The hotel's common facilities were very artistic and well-decorated (I wish this applied to the rooms too haha). Cleaning staff were also excellent and emptied my trash every day.

I know it's a budget hotel so I got what I paid for. The hotel room, while being comfortable, was very dorm-like so after two nights, I actually moved hotels (note: this is just my personal preference and I am sure others would be perfectly happy with a dorm vibe). While the location was close to Kyoto station etc, I felt that the actual location (not the hotel's fault) didn't really have much of a vibe so I ended up moving to a more vibrant ward like Nakagyo.

Love love that it’s also an art space! It’s so bright and open and it doesn’t feel like a typical hotel. Location is great, and quiet. It’s in walking distance to Kyoto station as well as 2 other subway stations. The room size was great for 1 person, I had space to open my cabin luggage on the luggage rack and still had space to walk around. There’s also a working area with a sofa and table next to the bed. The bed is large and the pillow is double sided, love the buckwheat husks and I slept really well. They also have bath tubs and salts available to use in the bath, which is really convenient as I’m unable to head to public bath houses due to tattoos. The staff were really helpful and friendly too

Nothing

We really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived before check in & went out for the day, when we came back our bags were taken to our room for us & the rooms were cleaned daily. The bed was comfortable & loved being in a traditional styled room. Would recommend :)

Even though the air conditioning was on, the room didn’t get particularly cold so had to open the window for cooler air, but this isn’t the end of the world. The location was fine but slightly out of the centre, a couple of stops on the metro or a 20 minute walk, again, not the end of the world :)

Hotel Anteroom feels like a hotel for artists. I would love to be there for art openings or other functions. The breakfasts were very good and a combination of Western and Japanese breakfasts. The bar and lounge area was very comfortable. The mocktails were excellent.

The location felt far away from where I planned on being during my stay in Kyoto, but being very close to the subway I was able go where I wanted to with ease. I felt visually judged by a few of the 'artsy' staff members, as if I wasn't dressed well enough for their hotel. Whatever, I'm an artist too, I just don't dress the part.

I loved this hotel and it was my favourite from my stay in Japan. The room was really nice and had a lot of space. It had a bath and a shower, it was really cool using a Japanese bath and they had free bath salts in the lobby which was amazing after a long day of traveling. There was shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom plus they had free amenities in the lobby. The bed was super comfortable and the rooms had heating which was nice as it was cold when I visited Kyoto. There was a Lawsons close by and some restaurants too.

The location was a little bit of a walk from the main Kyoto train station so be prepared if you have alot of luggage with you. Everything was perfect otherwise!

The single room at the hotel has large spacious rooms with a perfect layout! The staff is extremely nice and accommodating. Other perks include reliable free wifi, luggage storage and free rental bike service (2 hours). There’s other areas in the hotel like the lounge, bar, art exhibits that allow guests to roam freely outside of their room. Breakfast buffet was good. The location of the hotel is 5 min away from several bus and subway stops. Overall a really good hotel in a quiet part of the city. Superb value!

During breakfast, I’d recommend the hotel to offer fresh fruit. Most other hotels typically have 1 or 2 fruit options for breakfast.
