Kinokawa Vacation Packages

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

The location is excellent for a few couple close by attractions, Nijio Castle and Kyoto Gyeon National Garden. The room is clean and the washer and dryer within the property is a plus! Walking distance of 5 minutes or less to a near by supermarket and bus stop. Train station is also not too far as well. We really enjoy our stay!

Great location staff helpful and kind

Very helpful staff and clean rooms. It’s located right next to the station, making everything super convenient. I highly recommend staying here!

Very modern. Room was small but not cramped at all. Shower was big enough for me 6’0 which isn’t always the case. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious but not typical breakfast food if you’re from America, which I like. Very good location to get to bus and train. Walk to popular parks and markets was easy as well. Would stay again.

nice service. nice staff. good and clean room. Lovely experience. good for family. highly recommended.
