Washington R&B Hotel Kyoto Station Hachijoguchi

Excellent location right next to Kyoto Station West Exit which has lines for Shinkansen linking to Tokyo, Fuji (Mishima), and Osaka. It also has metro lines to all tourist spots in Kyoto like Fushimi and Arashiyama which are reachable within in minutes. It also has express lines to Osaka and Nara. They also allow luggage storage that is safe and convenient. There is 24 hour front desk to answer questions but must check in before midnight. The room is super clean and comfortable and very large for Japan. It has all the amenities one needs and is very modern.

Receptionists were very helpful! I was worried when my luggage didn’t arrive same day like I thought it would and they helped me check online to see when it would arrive. The rooms are cleaned daily; bed made, bathroom cleaned, towels changed, old hotel-provided pajamas taken away. Lot more tv channel options than other hotels I’ve been to. Enough space on the floor to open a 158cm suitcase. They also have luggage forwarding service.

Very easy to access from Kyoto Station. Across from a convenience store. Staff were efficient and friendly. Room was pleasant. Amenities are provided (comb, face cleanser, etc.) and there is coffee/tea service. The breakfast was also nice. A very no-frills hotel that was perfect for a very late arrival to Kyoto.

Washroom had a higher ceiling than average, enjoyed the automatic playing of a healing music from the TV when you enter the room, furnitures placed strategically

Service, politeness, timeliness, cleanliness, meals.
