Reviews of AB Hotel KyotoShijoHorikawa
Phoebe “Phoebe”
A Deeply Unsettling Experience of Discrimination My husband and I were guests at your hotel, and I am writing to share a deeply unsettling experience that has compelled me to leave this review. The issues began at checkout. A staff member was notably rude and condescending while instructing us where to place our luggage. This unpleasantness, however, escalated into something far more serious. A...

In general I liked the hotel. It wasn't perfect, but still above the average. Room wasn't too small, nice spa area, good breakfast. I'm European, but there were enough options to choose smth from non-asian food. Room was clean, but section above the bed had a lot of dust and fan in bathroom was pretty dirty. Cleaners were very friendly. I wish they give some tea/coffee in each room as well. Also t...

Worst hotel bed and pillows I can remember sleeping on. I felt like I was sleeping on a jagged rock.

I barely slept and woke up in pain. There was a strong language barrier with one member of the staff as well. It’s a tou...

The cleaning staff displaced my deep sleep eye mask, presumably when changing bed sheets. It was a good quality mask that is the only thing that helps my sleep issues. The hotel staff said they couldn’t find it and then refused to reimburse me. The hotel is not cheap, they charge 10,000 yen for “late” check out (their check out time is 10 am), but they can’t be bothered to pay 8,000 yen to compens...

The location of the hotel was pretty decent for what I was looking for and the price rather cheap when booking online. Unfortunately, the service from the male staff I experienced as very poor. They gave me a lower grade room than I initially booked and were not open to talk about it due to language barrier, so I complained online as I paid for a lot expensive room and got some money back. Also I ...
