แพ็คเกจท่องเที่ยวฮายาชิดะ-โจ

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

We loved our stay here. The hotel is in a good location for walking to places. The staff are very friendly. The breakfast and on site bakery / rooftop bar were great. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again if visiting Kyoto.
