Reviews of Urban Hotel Kyoto
Xuan Xie (Xxie91)
A bad experience in Japan. The AC is not working, constantly blowing out hot wind. There’s always a loud buzzing noise in the room at night and you can’t sleep well. The youngest appliance in the room is 15 years old. And the smell of the room is not good as well. Good thing is bed and bathroom is relatively clean. 10 minutes walk to the closest subway station. I will not recommend this hotel for ...

The room was neat and orderly, had what we needed, with an AC and a well equipped bathroom. Staff was very friendly and the location is quite suitable, with bus stop in front, subway and rail stations in walking distance, and Fushimi-Inari also in 20 minutes walk reachable.

Parking fee is 1500JPY per stay, underground parking is a bit hard to park,...
