Hotel Amanek Kyoto Kawaramachi Gojo

This hotel will be in my "not to go" list. Cons: Dusty, the room TV, kettle, fridge, shelves, all are very dusty. The door hindge is loose.. it feels like the door may anytime drop. Cramp, it is really small room. It's smaller than a lot of other Japanese hotels. Breakfast is very simple, and they only serve a specific quantity. Once they finish, even if it's still early, they will say, "Sold out." Amenities are very basic. I needed an extra pillow, but they don't provide. Washing machine only has 3. Pros: The location is not bad. Service staff is not that bad. The toilet and shower are separated. They allow us to use the restaurant tables and chairs to rest or have our food when we buy back. They offer free flow of soft drinks from 5pm to 8pm. Overall, I won't stay again. The main thing is the dust, too dusty. For the same price I can stay in other hotels with similar location but of course I don't know if they are better than this.

It's my second time staying here. Staff are friendly. Bedding is my favourite! Very comfortable and clean. Rooms are tiny but ok for us. Location is convenient but not crowded. 6 mins walk from the train station. However the free drinks session ends at 8pm if I am not wrong. If you finish your dinner at 7.30pm, you don't need to rush back because everything is closed by 8pm. I stayed twice here for a total of 6 nights, I was only able to enjoy the drinks session once. The public bath is great too. I've recommended many friends to this hotel and all of them are satisfied. This hotel makes my Kyoto trip even more memorable. No doubt I'll come back for more.

Good hotel, clean, good service, overall good hotel, good location
