Hotels Near Rakusaiguchi Station in Kyoto

Overall was okay, a bit far from Kyoto staion. But, hotel has shuttle bus every 20 mins and make it more convenient. Service and amenities were nice. The worst part was humidity of the room and cleanliness (quite low compared to Japanese standard), plus bedsheets were smelly.

It’s a big and splendid hotel The room is spacious with a long sofa The location is excellent with the Kyoto train station and bus station nearby. You can go to a lot of places easily. The station is in a shopping mall where you can go shopping and taste various food there

It’s not very near the Kyoto station especially because there is no underground link to the hotel from the main station. You will need to walk along the main road and it’s not very good for the luggage wheels as the roads are not smooth. There is also no gym in this hotel. Will probably try other hotels the next time if I’m visiting Kyoto.

Wir wohnten hier Anfang November 2019 und blieben 8 Nächste. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Das Hotel bot genau das, was wir mögen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten. Das Hotel befindet sich im Süden der Kyoto Station. Man geht nur wenige Schritte. Auch zum Busbahnhof ist es somit nicht weit. Der Bahnhof ist zudem eine Art riesiges Einkaufszentrum mit zahlreichen tollen Läden und Restaurants. Es war absolut perfekt, das morgens und abends so bequem nutzen zu können. Das Hotel hatte erst in 2019 eröffnet. Die Einrichtung ist dezent modern. Alles war sauber und tadellos in Schuss. Das Personal am Check-In war professionell, schnell und nett. Wir konnten sogar schon früher einchecken. Klasse! Unser Zimmer lag im 9. Stock und bot uns sogar etwas Weitblick (siehe Foto). Viel Platz war im Zimmer nicht, jedoch konnten wir unsere zwei Reisetaschen doch gut unterbringen und jeden Tag darauf zugreifen. Die kleinen Stühlchem am Fenster fanden wir erst witzig, haben sie aber dann doch sehr geschätzt und jeden Tag für unser Frühstück genutzt. Das vom Hotel gebotene Frühstück buchten wir nicht. Wir holten uns leckere Backwaren in der Kyoto Station und verspeisten sie am nächsten Morgen im Zimmer. Kaffee mit diesen praktischen Filtern holten wir uns kostenfrei in der Lobby. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und die Decken angenehm wärmend. Das Bad war dreigeteilt (Waschbecken, WC, Dusche) und durch Türen (zwei davon sehr gut schließende Schiebetüren) zu verbinden. Nach Wunsch konnte man alles zu einem großen Bereich öffnen oder eben zu drei einzelnen. Perfekt gelöst! Die Badewanne wurde unser absolutes Lieblingsstück. Sie war zwar kürzer als deutsche Wannen, aber viel tiefer. Nach einem langenTag mit vielen Fußmärschen konnte man abends so gut entspannen und bis zu den Schultern im Wasser sitzen. Herrlich! Sehr zu loben auch die Spender für Shampoo, Conditioner, Duschgel und Handseife. So wird die Umwelt geschohnt und die Sachen waren auch noch sehr angenehm. Wir nutzten sie gern. Im Zimmer stand uns ein Kühlschrank, Fön, Wasserkocher, Gläser und Tassen, Hausschuhe und ein Safe zur Verfügung. Zudem gab es ein ausgeklügeltes Beleuchtungssystem, das man vom Bett aus regulieren konnte. Wir haben uns hier ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt.

The water in the bathroom is very weak and bathing takes a long time, which is very unpleasant. However, there is a bus stop near this hotel. It is very convenient to go to the JR station. The streets nearby are also quiet. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants. There is only a Royal Host Western restaurant. The service is very good and the food is delicious.

The location was right beside Kyoto station and easily accessible. The room was spacious and with a smart TV?! Major win. There’s even a separate laundry room and dryer and sauna their customers can use. They also provided baggage storage when the room is not ready yet. Even after checking out, they allowed us to leave our baggage with them to go get a quick bite before heading to the airport. Great service and vibes. Will definitely book this hotel again for my next trip!

Spacious hotel rooms considering the usual room size in Japan! I personally love the separated dry & wet bathroom. There’s free flow of hot & cold drinks and bathroom amenities located on the lobby which you can collect everyday! Nijo station is just across the road, you can even see it from the hotel! Friendly & helpful receptionist whenever I need helps! Tips: you can ask the receptionist for luggage transfer service (they will give you a card, you just need to scan the barcode & follow the instructions for reservation), I used it for my luggage transfer to Osaka (currently there’s a promotion where you can use the promo code for free luggage service transfer, for up to first 100 redemption per day). Overall I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Kyoto!

The room is big enough, the transportation is quite convenient, and the facilities are relatively old. After all, it is a building in the 1980s. Just across from Nijo Castle. Depending on the attractions that need to be visited, whether everyone thinks it is convenient is a matter of opinion. Members can check out at two o'clock. There is a shuttle bus to and from Kyoto Station, and the official website has a fixed departure time.

The location is excellent and right in the downtown of Kyoto but not in the front street which will be too crowded and noisy, still there were some noisy from the restaurants and bar nearby which still played loud music even after 12:00AM, so not ideal for those people who needs total silence to sleep. This is probably the necessary evil when live in the downtown hotel, but the hotel is already in the back alley so felt a bit better. Cannot consider the service top quality since the hotel front desk is located at 8th floor, and there is only one person tending the luggage at ground level till 6PM, so no service can be offered at ground level, this is the part can improve since some of the high floor hotel do have ground floor service crew unless in a big commercial building complex. The room is nicely decorated and everything feels new, no complaint about the room. Although the breakfast is a bit disappointed given the very limited selection of foods and Japanese style breakfast can only offer limited number (25 serving per day?), this part can definitely make some improvement, at least inform the guest about the limited number so we can book in advance.
