We stayed here for three nights. No complaints. Not the biggest room or best view but the bed was comfy. There was free wifi which was great. No space to move around the room but we were out a lot. The location was good, just off the main street and near a metro which had two lines running through it.... more

I'm glad I ended up booking this hotel after I had spent quite a long time searching for a not-so-expensive hotel in Kyoto. The best part about this hotel is that they provide free bikes for guests! When I emailed the hotel to ask them were to find/rent bikes they responded by saying they had reserved some of the hotel... more

We had a standard twin room and this gave us plenty of space (we were in Kyoto for 2 weeks). 2 beds are provided which are both large enough for 2 to share, so this is probably the best way to get a decent sized room for 2 (rather than a double), but still be able to share a bed.... more

First off, it was good location. Located by the subway stop which can bring you to all the major areas. Good value for the amenities that are offered. It is located by 7-11, some restaurants which is a plus. They have 3 free computers with internet access and free bike rentals. The room was clean and bonus for the ladies,... more

I chose to stay here 2 nights when there no room available on Sat/Sun in my first choice The Palace side hotel and after going through all the review about this hotel. I totally again with past reviewers, it's new, clean and comfortable, big TV with BBC news. Good location, many mini-mart around the areas. From Karasuma Oike station Exit... more

The Hearton is well located for the centre of Kyoto: - three stops from the main train station on the metro - easy walking distance to the city centre sights - close (walking distance) to some great restaurants and nightlife OK, the rooms are small, but the price is also pretty low compared to other hotels - you get what... more

After six nights in this hotel, we are happy to give it full marks. However, rooms in Japan are much more compact than in Australa or the States so initial expectations may let you down. You're not there to live in the room anyway! The positives... The location is perfect for visiting ANYWHERE in the entire Kansai region as it... more

Very good hotel, close enough walk to eating areas central Kyoto. Sightseeing areas best to hire free bikes from hotel, do this the first day you arrive as some days are booked out. Most of the city is flat so bikes were excellent was of getting around. Hotel is very close to metro stop from Kyoto station. No complaints except... more

OK, first I will go over good points. 3 computers with public Internet access (free), well-stocked vending machines and 3 guest laundry machines - all very useful things that I was missing in another budget hotel we stayed at in Tokyo. Location was OK. It was right on the intersection of two major subway lines. Unfortunately, those lines lead nowhere.... more
