Best Hotels near Kusunoki Park, Shimamoto

Everything was fine until the end. In comparison to other hotels I stayed at throughout my trip, this one is cleaner and more spacious. It's close to Tokyo Station, so it's easy to get to other areas, even if it took me quite a while to figure out their operation and routes. The hotel will be cleaned one time every three days. So, generally, it will not be cleaned throughout your stay. However, you can request that they change the towels every day. The check-in and check-out processes were straightforward, however the machine did not accept my Visa card - this is the only site in Japan that did. The hotel also helped you store your belongings before and after check-in/out. However, I was discriminated against by one of the hotel's employees when sending the luggage after checkout. Before me, he stayed near the check-in/checkout machine, assisting a Japanese couple with the checkout procedures and handling the bags. So I waited, thinking he also approached me to assist. However, after assisting the couples, he did not approach me and came back to the counter. Then I beckoned him to his assistance. Instead, he hailed me with his fingertips to come over his counter, rather say anything like “Please come over the counter to do the procedure”. It shocked me. Furthermore, the way he handled my luggage request was really unpleasant. When I asked for his name because I didn't see it on his tag, he became more agitated. So that is why I requested him to write his name on the receipt card. How is it possible for him to treat people so differently? Should Japanese people be treated more respectfully under the hotel's policy? After my interaction with him, all of my positive feelings about the hotel vanished.

Staff Are very attentive and quick, they are able to assist you in English too if you can't communicate in Japanese. Transport is easy as it is located about 10-15 minutes away from Kyoto Station which has Shinkansen/JR trains/bus available. Given a cozy room with various options of daily cleaning (none/basic/partial/full) main difference being if you want the bathtub to be washed / bed to be made, so you can hang it by your door to notify the crew accordingly.

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.

is it a comment when it was just done? It seems to be dry, but it is a kind, polite and satisfying hotel. The facilities are substantial and the large communal bath is nice. Please note that the bathhouse is changed every day for men and women. Amenity is fully equipped. , Sleeping scrolls that can be used as roomwear are also available in the room, so you can relax. It is a convenient place because it is near the station and has a good location and many restaurants. There is also a large communal bath, so I wonder if it's a great place to relax. The breakfast venue is not big, so you need to adjust the time, but I'm happy to make omelets handmade at the venue.

This is the first time I have seen all-you-can-drink beer, tea and other drinks in a hotel! The world plaza in the hotel provides a good space to chat and enjoy Kyoto snacks. The boss was very nice and took the initiative to help us carry our luggage. He also thoughtfully provided us with information about Kyoto’s various special cultures and the customs and customs of Kyoto! Although my Japanese is not very good, the boss still told me that this place is very suitable for whether you want to experience a Kyoto-style hotel or a backpacker alone. The experience here made me realize more different kinds of people and also gave me enough rest! Next time I come to Kyoto, this will be my first choice!

Had everything I need, entrance built into the station so very easy to catch your train in the morning. My walk to my room was super long though, I’d advise anyone to request a room close to the elevator.

Nestled in the heart of Kyoto station, Ala Hotel Kyoto offers a serene oasis amidst the bustling cityscape, with easy access to myriad tourist attractions and culinary delights. Situated along a vibrant street adorned with delectable beef restaurants and adjacent to a 24-hour drug store boasting competitive prices on cosmetics and medications, the hotel's location promises both convenience and immersion in local culture. A relatively new establishment, Ala Hotel Kyoto boasts one of the finest outdoor onsens I've encountered on my travels. Perched on the 10th floor, the onsen is accompanied by a tranquil zen lounge, ideal for unwinding post-soak or awaiting laundry completion. Though laundry services are complimentary, guests should note that detergent is not provided. While complimentary snacks were notably absent, the expansive onsen facilities and serene ambiance compensated for the oversight. However, it's worth mentioning that the onsen's operating hours are relatively limited, closing at 11 pm nightly, with only two hair dryers available. Upon entering the room, I was pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness—ample enough to accommodate three luggage pieces comfortably. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the bathtub affording breathtaking views of the hotel's surroundings, perfect for soaking in the beauty of sunrise or sunset. Complete with access to YouTube and Netflix, the room provided ample entertainment options. For a delightful treat, indulge in soft-serve ice cream from the cafe adjacent to the hotel—an ideal conclusion to a day of exploration. The bed exuded comfort, while the addition of a sofa near the entrance provided a convenient spot to unwind without soiling the bedding with outdoor attire. Overall, while Ala Hotel Kyoto may lack certain amenities, its spacious accommodations, strategic location, and reasonable pricing make it a standout choice for travelers seeking tranquility and convenience in equal measure.

We stayed here for one night, I would like to stay longer. Close to Kyoto station, but I don’t like this part of the city. Whatever I like the hotel’s concept! It’s nice onsen hotel, where you have to take off your shoes before entering into the hotel, everywhere in the hotel is tatami, so nice to walk on. First floor is for onsen and restaurant. It was amazing breakfast, I think I can eat different food everyday and won’t be bored! You can make yourself coffee, matcha, tea or any other beverages, can make it with ice so on. Seriously, I was surprised about your food service, I have to mention about evening ramen for everyone, it was nice to eat after visiting onsen, I also grab an iced late after. In the resting area near the onsen gate there is free ice cream and diary beverages.

It is good that there is an open-air bath, the room is large, and the view outside is good from the large window. However, the amount is high. Even in this time of Corona, it's a bit unthinkable to spend close to 10,000 yen. However, staying in such a room is quite relaxing and feels good. It's great that you can come right after getting off Kishibe Station without getting wet in the rain. It is also good that there is a convenience store in the hotel building. I thought the convenience store was on the first floor, but it was actually on the second floor. If you walk down the passage from the station without going down to the ground, there is a convenience store and there is an elevator next to it, which will take you to the front desk of the hotel. The only problem is the table. The table where you put your PC and work is small. I can't work indoors. Although it is a PR point that there is an open-air bath on the roof, you can not see the outside scenery. All the outside is covered with walls, and you can only see the sky. It's nice to take a bath outside, but it's a pity that you can't see outside.

I used it when I went to a meeting nearby. It is right in front of Keihan Electric Railway Moriguchi City Station. It is convenient to Kyoto and Osaka. You can also go to the east exit of Moriguchi City Station from the 2nd floor of the hotel by concourse. A short walk from the station will bring you to the Keihan Department Store Moriguchi store. It's a decent scale. I didn't notice that there was Seiyu behind the hotel until I went home and looked at the map. There are several convenience stores and several taverns in front of the hotel, but it is a little lonely in front of the station. If you have a midnight snack near the hotel late at night, it may be more convenient in front of Moriguchi Station on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line. The building feels very splendid and venerable as a hotel in a local city. You can feel the remnants of a prestigious hotel in the castle town of Matsushita Electric (former National, current Panasonic). It is definitely one rank higher than a business hotel. Overall it looks a bit old, but it is in good condition. Correspondence at the front desk is good. The room is clean. Amenities are relatively substantial. The bed is easy to sleep and the sound of the surrounding rooms is not very concerned. For dinner, I had a course meal (”Yuri”) at a private room dinner at the Chinese food ”Reika” on the first floor of the hotel. It was a very satisfying delicious Chinese food for the first time in a long time. The next morning, I was expecting breakfast at the reputed all-day dining ＆ lounge ”The Loop” on the 1st floor of the hotel, but for the measures against the new corona, breakfast is on the 1st floor. Bakery ＆ Cafe ”Bassoon” ” was. On the fixed menu, I chose 2 types of bread and 1 drink, and came with a vegetable salad. The taste was good, but I thought it was a free breakfast for a cheap business hotel chain. It may be just right for eating and drinking too much the night before. I hope the day when the new corona converges and breakfast at ”The Loop” will come early.
