Excellent location well served by public transport. Friendly front desk. Our double room was HUGE by Japanese standards. Yes, it's a fair old walk downtown, but the buses are easy and you're also spitting distance from the subway which runs late. The front desk will sell you a daily bus pass for Y500 which is good for everything in the... more

ACCOMMODATION: The hotel is old but some parts were newly renovated (i.e. carpet, hallway). Beds are old but not too bad; door lock is still using keys rather than smart cards and most of all NO AIRCONDITION DURING THE COLD MONTHS (i.e. winter and spring or maybe whenever it's cold). I guess because of the "Kyoto Protocol" that they decided... more

We stayed on the 5th floor (room 515) and found that the road noise was a little annoying when motorbikes roared by into... more

Close to a station to catch the train/subway/bus. Some of the desk personnel didn't understand English very well, but you could usually find someone... more

The Japanese seems to always be cold and I'm always a hot but you adjust the temperature in the room fairly well by controlling the fan. There is a mini fridge and a TV that included BBC World although in the evening it's dubbed... more

Very good hotel. Very big rooms, particularly by Japan standards. Attentive staff. Location is appropriate, excellent (and free) broadband for laptop in the room. We booked 2 rooms for my wife, and my sons (12 and 10) respectively, and found it very pleasand, and very good value for money. The hotel is a good 4 star, and I would highly... more

I stayed at the Rhino Hotel in Kyoto for two nights in April 2006. And as far as value goes, this place is absolutely fantastic!! What appears to be a modest place from the outside is far from it when you get inside. I stayed in a single room and it was amazingly spacious and modern. I couldn't quite believe... more
