Hotel Oumiya

Even though I was late because I had mistaken the check-out time, they allowed me to shower and all the staff were very kind.

The official name of this store is "Omiya", and it is also a very old store. Judging from the certification certificate hanging in the store, it should have been founded during the Taisho period. But after so many years, it must be difficult, maybe because I am unable to do it. The front desk receptionist was a foreign worker who spoke very fluent Japanese, and there was also an aunt who was not very good at using the credit card machine. The hotel facilities are very old, and there are rooms with and without private bathrooms, but since there is a public bath, you can remove the bathtub in the private bathroom. Public toilets have modern electric lids, while private toilets have flat lids. The rooms are large and small, so adaptable. But the soundproofing is not good. It is very loud when people come in and out to use the toilet at night. The transportation is not very convenient, it takes about 10 minutes to walk from Kyoto Station. It might be good if this hotel could invest in renovations, but in its current condition, only 20 to 30 percent of the rooms are occupied, which is a bit low.

It was nice that it was within walking distance to Kyoto Station. Also, there was only parking for three cars, so they told me that it was OK to go early, just park there, and check in after sightseeing. The hotel staff were very friendly.
