I really liked the style of the hotel. It had this old fashioned look to it. Kind of like a temple, because, you know, Kyoto - capital of temples. I also really enjoyed the room size, the free of charge items, such as coffee, hairbrush, cups, cotton swabs for your ears, etc. the bath was an added bonus this colder time of year.

The items you gave out for free were nearly perfect, the only thing I felt was missing was a small tub of toothpaste. Other three star hotels in Japan do it, so you might also take this into consideration. This goes not only for Tabist Groove but also many other hotels in Japan - the beds are just too short. It's not significantly short, just enough to have your feet hanging, which feels awkward and affects sleep quality. Also, I know there's not much to do about it, but the location is not ideal. Most attractions are further away. This could also be a plus though, as it's more quiet in this district. I'm not docking any points for this one as it's subjective.

We knew this was going to be one of the best hotels on the trip, but it was better than we expected for the price we paid. The room was very spacious with a nice tatami area where we could open all our luggage or just chill and eat. The hotel is super new, everything was impeccable. It's very close to one of the JR stations after Kyoto Station, it's a bit of a walk but it was super fine even for us who were carrying big luggage. The area is residential so very calm and silent. The room was very well-lit.

For its low price, the room was very large (which is surprising as most affordable hotel rooms in Japan are quite tiny). It's a tiny trot from the nearest train / bus station (10-15 min) which isn't too bad.

The only reason I'm taking some points off is because there is a strong citrus scent in the rooms, which did bother me quite a lot as it lingered even after opening the window for an entire day. It gave me a little bit of a headache and made it hard for me to fall asleep.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable, which made the stay a pleasant one. Although check-in time was after 4pm, my family and I could leave our luggages at the place early, so that we can continue to explore japan without lugging our bags around. Not only that, the staff were very kind to lend us umbrellas to use as it was snowing rather heavily; they also let us check in earlier due to the weather. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay with kind and amiable staff! I would stay at the hotel again if I ever come back to kyoto!

The location is quiet and cute, the room with the tatami mat was beautiful and was surprisingly big. It was nice to just spend time in the room, which cannot usually be said about other hotels. It was extremely clean and well appointed. The staff were very, very kind.

It’s a bit of a hike to get to the more central, touristy parts of town. You have to jump between a couple lines and walk. But this isn’t necessarily a negative. This area is a great representation of a residential area in Kyoto.

It was very specious, clean, and felt like new. I spent three four nights, and each morning i got new clean towels and pajama, and also a battle of water. It is located a little bit far away from the main city, but actually it was close to all the useful buses to the main attraction, and one train stop from the central station. The stuff were very helpful.

There was too much light getting into the room from the windows, early in the morning.

Elegant hotel with beautiful interior decor. If you like Japanese style decor with a mordern twist, you will definitely enjoy your stay here. Everything was to our satisfaction and the room was larger than we have expected. We also liked the Tatami mat Onand the pink wall paper was very cute.

Nothing.

We enjoyed the quiet location and the comfort and quality of the room. We also appreciate having laundry washer and dryer onsite. The staffs were responsive via booking and helpful. They do not do transporting services for luggage so be prepared for that. The only down side is it is further from the main station and requires a longer walk.

The property was conveniently located next to a train station. It was in a quiet neighborhood that gave us the feeling of ‘living local.’ The room was big and had two separate bathroom spaces-one for the toilet and another for the shower/bath area. The mini tatami area was a nice touch as well. All amenities were given including pjs and a kettle to warm water. This was our best stay in Kyoto!

The staff was very polite — they even checked us in 5 hours early at no extra charge, which we really appreciated. The room was clean, though a bit worn out. The location is very convenient, close to bus stops and the metro.
