Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto-Hachijoguchi

Very convenient location especially if you take the airport limousine bus from KIX. Also a short walk from the South Gate or Hachijo East Exit of Kyoto Station. Highly recommend staying here as there are many buses departing from Kyoto Station to tourist sites. Front desk staff are very helpful but were strict about the 3pm check-in time. The toiletries are placed at the hotel lobby but some items like the sheet masks tend to run out fast. The hotel also provides pyjamas but we decided against using them as we saw hair on the two sets that we collected from the lobby. Finally, we greatly enjoyed the hotel breakfast every morning! Great way to sample a variety of Kyoto-style food.

Friendly Staff, Good Location, near Kyoto Station and walking distance to shopping area too

Very conveniently located, around 5 minutes or less to Kyoto Station, with a few konbinis located nearby. I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy it was, despite it being small. It really was very comfortable, and in spite of the room size, the toilet was of a decent size. My only grouse is that the table is too small to be of any use. Besides that, this hotel is definitely a contender for when I visit Kyoto again.
