Sanco Inn Kyoto Hachijoguchi Shikinoyu

The hotel staff were polite and provided directions to locations. The room is small for American standards, but normal for Japanese standards. Everything worked in our room and it was clean. There were many free amenities provided, the best being the pillows. The beds were on the harder side, but not unbearable. We stayed in a double bed and were able to fit 2 average-sized adult women comfortably. But we are sisters so we don't mind sleeping together. It might have been more awkward if I was with a friend. The best part of the hotel was the onsen. It is separated by gender and it was very clean and well maintained. The hours it is available are very generous and we would go around 5pm to enjoy every day. The location was great too, just on the other side of the road from Kyoto's main train station.

Breakfast was fantastic. Can I say everything in Japan? The food is always exceptional. Very clean. Absolutely beautiful place. I will be definitely back. I would recommend this hotel very much. It’s so close to the station. You won’t have a worry in the world. You just have a problem in the station getting which way that way because no one really helps much in the station but it is the exceptional place to stay

The location opposite the Kyoto station was a big positive. The room and bathroom were very clean with comfortable beds. They offer extra pillows near the Reception and toiletries are also provided there. The breakfast menu is limited and mainly has Japanese dishes. There were 3 types of bread and only cornflakes as the cereal. Plain yogurt is available with tinned fruit.

Breakfast was great and the staff were amazing. Thank you for a great stay! I was exhausted so we paid for an extra 2 hours late check out which really helped. Nice windows and very good light without loss of privacy! (Only got a view of another wall but this was fine as it meant we could have the curtains open more) The choice of pillows and amenities was great!

Plenty of amenities to make a simple stay easygoing for a traveler. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I also liked that you could pick a different pillow if you got to the pillow library early enough. The room is small, but that's to be expected since the target customer is usually the "salaryman" who needs a night to stay someplace. It's very clean, and I slept very well. Onsen was clean and onsen amenities were also nice. I'm an English speaker, and there was someone who spoke English and explained how to check in. Even with the other staff who didn't speak English, they were very patient to answer any questions. Hotel is also a good price for being across the street from Kyoto station, so good central location for traveling.
