The staff gave us wrong PIN code and we can't enter to the premises to store our baggage. There is no lock inside the room which we feel unsafe.
The price is reasonable and location is near to the JR station.
Room was not ready until 4pm.
When I finally arrived back at the hotel I was instructed to leave my shoes at the entrance and don some slippers. I complied. There was barely enough space to bring my small carry-on lugggage into the room.
There was a folded up "mattress" in the corner with some unmatched bedding near the water stained window covering.
I had to move the small table to accommodate my tiny carry on. The bathroom had a step up and included 1 faucet for the sink and shower and some body wash.
The fridge did not work and neither did 2 of the 4 outlets in the room. It was either tv or a working cell phone. "free wifi" does not work.
I slept very poorly since I was feeling the floor beneath me.
While it is pretty close to the main train station, everything else is quite far away.
ein kleines Zimmer im japanischen Stil. Sehr ruhig und gepflegt, alles da mit Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher, Tee etc. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ideal nah zum Bahnhof Kyoto Station.
We would have liked to have a stool in the room. We liked that it was close to Kyoto Station. There are a lot of food options around the hotel and at the station.
Accueil par un jeune homme qui maîtrisait parfaitement l'anglais et nous a très bien expliqué le fonctionnement de l'hôtel, par ailleurs détaillé dans un .pdf que j'ai reçu par avance (code de la porte, photos, plan d'accès etc.). Petite chambre mais nous étions à la recherche d'un hébergement type ryokan, tout en souhaitant une salle de bain privée, et cet hôtel cochait toutes les cases. Si vous mesurez +1m90, debout dans la baignoire, votre tête touche le plafond.
Clean and within distance from nearest train station. There’s 2 family marts and 1 big mart nearby. Convenient for location and the place is clean too.
Fantastic location and living in traditional style
The best thing about Hotel Seiki is its fantastic location. We could easily get around Kyoto due to proximity to all types of transport. There is a nice mall on the short walk to the hotel called Avanti, and we spent great deal of time shopping and dining there.
With respect to the room, it was kind of what I expected, although much smaller. I could barely fit into the bathroom. We were unable to wear footwear and pack our suitcases over the tatami mats, which gave a very very limited space for doing that. Not the best choice if you are looking for decent space.
Nevertheless, the experience of living in traditional Japanese style was what we will cherish the most.
The property was nice and clean. It is close to kyoto station making it easy to venture out.
It does need more power points as the was only 4 spots right next each other 3 of with were being used. while this may not be a big deal for everyone it was for us as we had 2 phones,power banks, laptops and cameras that all need to be changed at night. even if you unplugged some of the other items as they were both close together it made it hard for international travel adaptors to all fit at once.
Excellent stay, lovely traditional style Japanese room, good size. Comfortable bed, clean and good facilities, has just been renovated so in good condition. Bathroom a bit small but manageable (and not unusual for Japan). Outstanding welcome on arrival and very friendly staff who will answer any queries you may have. Extremely close to Kyoto station (short walk) so very convienient. Would highly recommend and stay again in future
The location is the absolute best. I was traveling solo, so it was a perfect size for me. Yes, it is tiny. But manageable. Absolutely loved tatami sheets and futons. Washroom is a bit of an issue as it really is very small. Room was very clean. Sheets and towels are changed daily. Also, they give a hand device which you may use during your stay to make free calls, use internet. This was really helpful! Staff ks friendly and speak english well. Overall great. Would consider staying there again.
Repetiríamos. Ubicación buena y próxima a la estación. Toda una experiencia el dormir en futones, pero sobretodo el servicio de la chica de recepción, muy simpática y atenta.
