Hotel was located at a very convenient location. Lots of facilities and amenities were available, including breakfast. Great value for money. Was very clean, and most guests I saw appeared to be non foreigners. Unfortunately the lockers were too thin to fit my suitcase so I had to leave it outside near reception alongside many other oversized suitcases from other travellers. Big let down is I sent a message to the property here on Expedia prior to my stay but no one ever responded to the message.

初めて行きましたので一見してどうなのかなぁと感じたのですが、館内に入って印象が変わりました。何より清潔感あり、不安な部分がゼロ。サウナ＆スパ付きだったので、広々湯船でリラックス出来ました。変なビジネスホテルよりもコスパ良く、四条の中心地なので観光にも申し分なく楽しめました。流石にベストシーズンの週末だったので”本日満室”の札が出てました。事前に予約しておいて正解でした。また利用したいと思います。

No sweat in this sauna resort capsule hotel

Rumor Plaza makes for an interesting Japanese experience. Due to common sleeping and bathing quarters, it "caters to men" only. As a hotel, it is a capsule hotel, meaning small sleeping quarters which are about 1.5m height by width and about 2m long, stacked one above the other. The capsules have a TV (earphones supplied), light and ventilation control, and a bottle of water supplied. The other guests are quiet and the bed comfortable, so there is no trouble sleeping (there is also a clock to help wake up). In the morning an excellent and varied Japanese breakfast is served. Western style breakfast food seemed to be limited to toast and boiled eggs but the Japanese buffet is very comprehensive. The location is ideal, in the heart of Gion. The bathing facilities are on two levels, the upper of which is outdoors and features a medicinal bath and salt bath. One can also lie outside and watch TV (Japanese baseball seemed to be all the thing at the time of my visit). The lower level has the mandatory wash area for a good scrub before proceeding naked to the baths. There is a large and quite hot sauna, large hot pool, smaller cool pool, two very hot bath-size jetted tubs. Gion is of course the night life center of Kyoto, but also close to major temples and quiet areas on the Higashiyama hillside.

祇園の中にあるロケーションが最高の宿。とても便利。カプセルホテルで朝食付きならこの価格は合格です。そして屋上の露天風呂からの眺めは最高。スーツケースがロッカーに入らないのでフロントで預かってもらうとか、外出するのに一筆必要だとか、その都度精算だとか、サウナだけのお客さんと浴場で混雑するとか煩わしいこともあるけど総合的には優秀。

祇園のど真ん中のカプセルサウナ

京都四条、南座からすぐ。以前から存在は知っていましたが、利用させて頂くのは初めて。 普通のカプセルサウナなんですけど、マットレスも柔らかくて翌朝全く体が痛くない。 カプセルあるあるで隣のおじさんのいびきがうるさかったのですが、なんとカプセル内に耳栓常備！そしてペットボトルの水も常備！すごい配慮！ さらに、朝食も込みだと！もういうことなし。（おかずは少なかったけど、炊き立てのご飯と卵と納豆があれば満足） カプセルではないサウナフロアのほうも二段ベッドの仮眠ルームがあったりと、なかなかに充実。 お風呂はそんなに広くなかったですが、屋上露天風呂や塩サウナなど設備も満足でした。

가성비 좋은 루머 플라자

가성비가 매우 좋은 편에 속합니다. 목욕도 횟수에 제한없이 언제든 이용할 수 있습니다. 기온시조역에서 5분 거리에 위치하고 있으며, 주위가 상권이라 매우 만족하였습니다. 3층에 프론트 및 숙박공간(캡슐)이 마련되어 있고, 6층에는 사우나장이 있습니다(3층에서 6층으로 올라가는 엘리베이터를 이용). 5층(식당, 조식 무료 제공) 및 4층(맛사지 및 휴식 공간)은 6층에서 계단을 통해 내려갑니다. 계단을 통해 7층으로 올라가면 야외 노천탕이 있기는 하지만 굳이 이용할 정도의 매력은 없었습니다.
