1. 10 minutes from Kyoto station by walking, I think it is quite okay for visitors who just arrive Kyoto. 2. Although bit far away from centre, but it is very quiet and clam community, the small river near hotel is so beautiful. Bus is convenient so I don't think bit far from centre is an issue. 3. Free cafe, nice staff, room is bigger and comfortable than other hotels. Even my room is front of elevator, still very quiet. Overall speaking, I feel it is really nice! I would get back to this hotel next time I visit Kyoto.

If really have yo say, you just need to take bus/ or walking for 10 minutes to popular area or get some food. Closest convenient store is like 5 minutes by walking. But it really isn't an issue unless you have elder people with you.

Room was nice, breakfast was good. There is a subway close to it that can take you to the most popular attractions so it depends on what you're looking for.

Location is not good if you're thinking about using Kyoto Station a lot, though there is a subway close to it that can take you to the most popular attractions in Kyoto and all the way to Osaka, so it depends on what you're looking for. I had the displeasure to stay alongside a lot of Italian tourists who were making a lot of noise in the guest area, not the fault of the hotel tho Didn't find any Japanese people outside 1 of the workers

The staff were really friendly and kind. There was a girl on reception, Huang? She was so helpful and always smiling. All the other staff were very welcoming too. The breakfast was very nice, quite simple but in a really good way. The communal areas were all very nice and I got to talk to other travellers in the mornings at breakfast. They give you one hour of free drinks a night and you can choose from a variety. I really liked it, it was a fun hotel with lovely staff.

It wasn’t in a bad location but it was 15 minutes or so walk away from the station and other main areas. I used the laundry there but it didn’t dry my clothes very well. But these are both minor issues.

The room was very good and quite big compared to other hotels in Japan. I want to highlight that the staff was always very helpful and nice with us, also they speaking English was a plus. The location was very good, it counts with connections via bus or train to go to touristic places like Kinkakuji, Gion or Fushimi Inari, and it's only 15 min away from Kioto Station. The happy hour was very nice, many people attend and it makes a happy environment in the hotel. Also, there is an area with tables, chairs and microwave where you can eat your own food. Lastly, the hotel is pet friendly, which I also find as a plus :)

I would implement a waiting list for the washing machines, otherwise it can get messy.

Decent hotel within a 10 minute walk of Kyoto station. The hotel was pleasant, the room was adequately sized and serviceable, cheap meals available in the lobby. Probably the best part was the free self serve all you can drink happy hour each evening and unlimited tea and coffee. Happy travellers :)

There is somewhat of a hostel/backpacker feel about the place, which is not a bad thing, but could be an issue if you're expecting a proper hotel. There was some disagreement on the price; I had to double check the price quoted on the confirmation which was less than what they told me at the desk. Be aware that there is also a hidden 'city tax' of 800 yen/night.

The personnel was very nice. Since the reservation moment, there has been great contact and excellent and quick communication in English. The location is great, and provides access to many main attractions in Kyoto, even without any transportation. Room equipment and the drinks in the lobby are great advantages.

The slippers were available, which is very nice, but the size was not very convenient for a 6-foot-tall man (181 cm). However, it was easy to predict, so it just made me sincerely laugh while trying to wear them. So this tiny aspect should be taken into account.

Clean, neat, good space and appliances. On 24-Oct-2024 around 8:45pm, I approached the counter for the second time to request for the bathroom glass door to be covered up for showerer's privacy. The staff, Chang Yi Hsuan immediately brought tape and sheets and provided a quick fix for us. She also promptly answered my parent's questions and provided the requested clothe hangers. She is fluent in both English and Mandarin, efficient in attending to customer's needs and very customer oriented. Excellent services from her!

On 23-Oct-2024 around 7:30pm, I approached the counter for the first time to request for the bathroom's glass door to be covered up for showerer's privacy. After I showed my room card (with room number) and described my requests, that male staff in his 18~20's did not seem to understand the whole situation, and zero action was taken after 24 hours. There was noone else approaching the counter, so he had no excuse (of claiming being "too busy"). Hotel IL Verde Kyoto, please re-train this staff. He was either incompetent in English communication, or forgetful or didn't care about customer's need at all.

The staff were excellent at the hotel , it is clean and fairly comfortable , breakfast has a very good varied choice. Evening happy hour was a bonus after a long day and the coffee and soft drinks availability at other times excellent. The room was clean tidy and fairly comfortable. The hotel location is very good for catching buses or the metro to other parts of the city to explore and there are food options locally.

As with Japanese hotel rooms, they are not the biggest. But this one had sufficient space to feel more comfortable. The beds are still fairly hard but had enough comfort level to allow for good sleep.

The location was fine for us, 12min walk to Kyoto station and a 23 min walk to the main shopping area. We were happy to walk around and get public transport to other areas. The bus outside takes you to the philosophers walk for example. The room was basic but glad we had the table and chair space. Wifi worked well, staff were helpful and friendly and happy hour is a great touch!

The sticker decorations on the walls were a little naff but we weren’t fussed. Space and bed comfort was similar to elsewhere in Japan in this level of hotel

The hotel was close to the train station and the canal streets with restaurants, but not so close to the shopping streets (aprox 20 minute walk). You had free soft drinks all through the day which was really nice and appreciated. If you stay 4 nights you have one free room clean and you can choose the day you want it, you can get new towels or amenities whenever you want.

It was not so close to the shopping streets (aprox 20 minute walk). The carpet in our room was dirty in some places, this might have been because of previous tourists that stay there.
