Greeted by books on the walls when I first enter the lobby. Check in was easy & smooth. The lobby is very loungey with nice furniture. The interior design is also beautiful. When you enter your room, you’re greeted with books on the wall. I enjoyed flipping through even though I don’t understand Japanese. Seeing the pictures & illustrations is fun. Standard japanese high quality bathroom. Nearby konbinis too! Within walkable ‘straight’ path distance to Kyoto Station.

The place is new and modern, and the room was very clean and comfortable, almost big by Japanese standards. The location is in walking distance of the central station. However, the internet did not work the entire 3 days I was there. It was so bad I couldn't even send out emails. I reported it to the staff, and she said she will check later, but no improvement. I tried on two phones and my laptop, but nothing (so it definitely wasn't my devices). Having such terrible (pretty much non-existent) internet in Japan in 2026 is just unacceptable. Also, the staff hardly spoke any English and wasn't exactly friendly. When I left my key card to check-out I said goodbye, but the lady didn't even look up from the reception and didn't reply anything. I most certainly would not stay here again, which is a shame because the rooms are great.

Book Hotel is very close to the Kujo subway station with walking distance. Only one station to reach Kyoto station which you can transfer to everywhere. The hotel room was very comfortable & tidy, but lack of hooks for hanging clothes and towels. Staffs are kindly with good smile also the most unique is the decoration of the books located every corner at the hotel.

Room: clean and tidy, spacious for 2 people to stay, spacious bathroom, bed is a bit low (quite close to the floor), pillows are soft (not so supportive for the neck), nice and dark when you close all the curtain Staff: very friendly, can speak good English Amenities: No water or coffee supplied in room (tap water is drinkable), plenty of towels in bathroom with hair dryer, has a vending machine for drinks and laundromat on another floor, plenty of books for you to read (only in Japanese), there is a bar/cafe on the ground floor Location: 3 minutes walk from the nearest metro station (Kujo station), 9 minutes walk from Kyoto station, 2 convenience stores nearby * The building right next to the hotel is under some construction work when I visit. Noises are expected but bearable and this is definitely not the hotel’s fault (saw someone blaming the hotel for this).

room was clean and size was ample since most hotel rooms in Japan are generally smaller. But for me I didn't know that the hotel was a book themed type of hotel since my son recommended from a search which their is no blaming anything here. But for a book lover this would be paradise because their are books everywhere in the lobby, hallways and your room but I mostly saw Japanese books but I'm sure there are English books somewhere.

Desde el check in la persona que nos recibió estornudado con gripa clara mocos y agarrando los pasaportes. Estornudando sin tapar la boca ni usar mascarilla. Habitación cama súper incómoda dolor de espalda. Con cabellos largos (no nuestros ) en la almohada. Vista de la ventana a un cementerio. En mi opinión personal hay muchas más opciones por el precio. Jamás me hospedaría acá y no lo recomiendo.

Hotel aceptable precio-calidad. Limpio, funcional, en buen estado, con estilo, Pequeño como casi todos en Japón, aseo de la habitación solo si lo pides, la cama está casi a nivel de piso (estilo Japones) y me toco con colchón duro, qué al llegar a descansar después de caminar mucho lo resientes más. Relativamente cerca de la estación central de Kioto.
