GOOD NATURE HOTEL KYOTO

Got a free upgrade, plus complimentary snacks, tea, cocktails, and appetizers at the executive lounge – it was absolutely delightful! The room was spacious, and even had Chinese TV channels. Best part, there's direct access to Takashimaya from the 3rd floor.

The room size was barely adequate. The idea of having a separate vanity, shower, and toilet was good in theory, but the design was flawed, making it very inconvenient to place toiletries. The floor had a strange odor—neither pleasant nor foul—I couldn't tell if it was from floor polish or something else. I initially thought it was the smell from my own feet after a long day of walking. The hotel claims to be eco-friendly, so many toiletries weren't provided, likely because there simply wasn't enough space. The service was mediocre; they didn't even replenish the bottled water when cleaning the room on the second day. After visiting several cities, I've come to realize that it's better to choose established hotels for good service and experience. Design-oriented hotels often look good but aren't practical. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its excellent location with convenient transportation access. Shopping is extremely convenient, with Takashimaya right next door and plenty of other places to shop and many restaurants. Of course, the foot traffic is enormous, and the street can be noisy at night, so those with light sleep should think twice before booking.

The room was great, a decent size, and well-equipped. The hotel's location is excellent, right above Takashimaya and the busiest street. However, I could hear street racers revving their engines almost all night, which was incredibly frustrating! Why didn't the front desk inform us about this beforehand?!
