Hotele niedaleko Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kioto

Miałem bardzo przyjemny pobyt w Wind Villa! Właściciel osobiście prowadzi firmę i dba o każdy szczegół, aby pobyt w jego pensjonacie był niezapomnianym przeżyciem! Poczułem się mile widziany od samego wejścia, ponieważ mogłem zameldować się przed oficjalnym czasem, bez żadnych dodatkowych kosztów. Kuchnia jest w pełni wyposażona, jest pralka i suszarka, salon do jedzenia, pracy, spotkań towarzyskich i relaksu… Bardzo podobał mi się również fotel masujący, z którego również można było korzystać bezpłatnie! Bardzo podobała mi się rozmowa z Ace'em (właścicielem) o japońskiej kulturze i jego wyjątkowych doświadczeniach w podróżowaniu! Z pewnością chętnie wrócę do jego pensjonatu! Dziękuję za wspaniałe doświadczenie!

To start with the positives, the hotel was well located and easily accessible using the metro from Kyoto station. The room was a decent enough size and the staff were friendly and helpful. One major issue we encountered during our stay was the level of humidity in the room. The extractor fan didn't seem to be doing anything to impact moisture in the room, particularly after a warm shower. There was some treated glass above the sink and often this was the only area without moisture well over half an hour after having a shower. (Photos attached) This also meant that towels weren't drying correctly and created an unpleasant environment and ultimately odour in the room. The humidity was so high that the windows were dripping with water consistently and the window sill was actually wet. Additionally the absence of a full wardrobe (just a rail with hangers on) also created challenges when staying for longer than a couple of days and this combined with the humidity made the washing machine almost obsolete.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of Kyoto city. It’s just a short walk to both the train and bus stations, which made getting around super convenient. Plus, it’s very close to major shopping malls Takashimaya where you can buy Marukyu koyamaen matcha. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. They also have a washing machine and dryer available, which is really convenient for longer stays. However, there’s only one of each, so if it gets busy, you might need to wait your turn. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto! They also has nearby Izakaya that the owner was so kind and foreigner friendly welcome.

Great place to relax and unwind after spending the day in Tokyo!  Staff were extra kind and extremely helpful.  The facilities and decor are top-notch.  The aesthetic of the room was incredibly well thought out - the dimmed lighting makes the room even more relaxing - the hot tub/onsen on the first floor is extremely well maintained and great after walking all day.  There's a nice cafe connected to the lobby and a Family Mart five steps from the hotel entrance. Would highly recommend if you need to be near Kyoto station.

Clean and big room for family stay. There is shuttle bus to nearer railway station. Provide a nice mineral water , nice coffee and good breakfast.

A perfectly affordable stay in Kyoto. Train stations are about 12-15 mins away from each side so a bit of a walk. Receptionists were helpful, rooms were clean and the buffet breakfast was very affordable for 2000 yen per person. Minor complaint is that the washing machine that was also a dryer didn’t completely dry our clothes even though we tried to dry it for about an hour and a half. Overall a pretty good experience.

I stayed here in a double room and overall had a pretty good experience. The room was clean and comfortable, and both the air conditioning and heater worked very well. One thing that really stood out was the bathroom — the bathtub was much larger than what you usually get in Japan. I’m a tall person, and I could actually sit down and lie back comfortably, which is rare. Most hotel baths feel very small, but this one felt closer to around 1.4m in length, which made having a bath genuinely enjoyable. The bed was comfortable, and housekeeping did a great job — the bed was made every day with fresh sheets. Wi-Fi was also very fast, which was a big plus. Amenities were decent, and you can pick up extra items if you need them. Check-in is a bit late at 3pm, which I didn’t love, but that’s balanced out by an 11am checkout. Having that extra time in the morning made it feel worth it overall. I did have a couple of negatives. The strangest one was finding an old sock behind the TV when I arrived. It was very obvious and not hidden, so I’m not sure how it was missed during cleaning. It was a bit gross, but I just left it. Another downside was the mini fridge — it’s more like a cooler than a real fridge. It keeps drinks from getting warm, but they don’t get properly cold. In summer, this really wouldn’t be good enough. Replacing it with a proper mini fridge would be a big upgrade. The other major issue was the lift. It is painfully slow, and there’s only one lift for the upper floors. On checkout day, I left my room about 10 minutes before checkout time, and I almost didn’t make it downstairs in time because of how slow it was. That part was honestly pretty ridiculous. Location-wise, this hotel is excellent. It’s very easy to get to from Kyoto Station — just head south and you’re there in about 4–5 minutes. It’s also very convenient when leaving Kyoto by train. A tip for using the subway: instead of going back to Kyoto Station, walk right from the hotel to Shijō Station. It’s on the same subway line, you’ll get on before Kyoto Station, and the train is empty — so you’re almost guaranteed a seat and can ride comfortably to your destinations. For food and shopping, there’s a shopping mall just across the road toward the station with a Don Quijote, McDonald’s, and other options. The hotel is also right next to a Coco Ichibanya curry house, which is fantastic and open late. Overall, despite a few odd issues, this was a solid stay with a great location, good comfort, and very easy access to transport. I’d happily consider staying here again.

Location not the best and can find nearer to Kyoto station with same price. The location only good to go Nijojo castle, Toji Temple & Ginkako temple. Nothing much nearby, no night bars only a restaurant opposite it. The worst was no lift, for a female with 20 kg luggage, I have to carry it for 4 levels up and down all by myself. It’s understandable no space to install lift, but pls consider to install a luggage travel lift. Layout of the room is very good especially bath and toilet inside the room. Some may not like it cause ppl may back late night to bath and make noises. But I do like the single room layout with small dress up table before the capsule bed.

Ogólnie pobyt był udany, chociaż dość długi spacer od stacji w Kioto, ale droga jest płaska. Dwie małe uwagi: jeśli wypożyczysz rower, nie ma gdzie zaparkować. Żeński onsen nie jest tak czysty jak w innych hotelach, w których byłem w Japonii, widzę sporo włosów unoszących się w powietrzu. Mimo wszystko, za tę cenę, całkiem przyzwoite, a jedzenie jest również całkiem pyszne. Przypomina mi szkolną stołówkę. Dołączyłem zdjęcia jedzenia w celach informacyjnych.

Fantastic brand new hotel, everything was perfect. Very clean and the staff were really kind. The location is slso really good
