This place was so clean!
Beds were comfortable but the pillows weren’t unfortunately, that’s the only bad thing about comfort.
I felt it was in a good location, quiet and not far to the trains.
The lady that checked us in was so lovely & gave us lots of information of the local area & the best places to view the cherry blossoms that were blooming, I wish I Knew her name !
We loved our stay at seibido inn and would stay again with a different pillow :)
The hotel was well situated, clean and had all the comforts needed. My only comments is that I found the pillow uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have some ambient lighting for when I was reading before going to sleep.
Great clean space! Loved how spacious the room was for 5 people and the additional bathrooms downstairs. The staff are super helpful and were able to secure my late check-in. Would come again!
Great service in the great Kinosaki-Onsen! Free ride from the train station, and they delivered our luggage down while we wandered the town for a small fee. Overall a great stay in a traditional place.
Clean, spacious hotel with helpful staff. Close to bus and subway stations (but keep in mind the closest JR station is Kyoto if you have a JR pass). There is a charge for towel rental.
stayed here as family of five with 3 children under 8 for 3 nights. super location a short walking distance of downtown. Very friendly, helpful staff. room had 5 futons which were comfy and an ensuite. there is a common room in which you can bring your own food to eat with microwave. close to convenience stores.
We had a great experience here. Room was large and clean. There was common kitchen and laundry facilities which made things easy travelling with two little kids. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Great experience, highly recommended.
Staff prepared to help you make the most out of your stay, including tips on sightseeing and restaurants. Prepare for no frills, as described. Tiny bathroom, but it is convenient to have one in the room. Very clean place. Futons are not very thick, so you end up piling a few. No elevator, but there is one for suitcases only. Close to buses and two subway lines. Great location for sightseeing. And you can rent bicycles on location. This place is perfect for what it is.
Great staff that let us check in after arriving early in Kyoto via expressway bus from Tokyo. Room was spacious while bedding (futon) was comfortable. The room could be stuffy when using the heater so switch on the air conditioner setting tuned to the highest temperature for a more comfortable stay. Do note that there are 3 floors to this property and although there is a lift for luggage, there is NO PASSENGER LIFT, so probably not suitable for those with difficulty walking. Main shopping district in Kyoto is a 15 min walk away while metro station is about 7 minutes away. Overall recommended stay.
This was a great place to stay for a few days. The more traditional Japanese-style room was huge and with enough extra futons, I was able to sleep alright, but I admit that the floor was a bit hard without a number of futons to sleep comfortably.
I can't say enough about the staff. They have fantastic english and were incredibly helpful. Also, the coin-operated laundry facility is a God-send. I cannot stress how nice it is to have access to a laundry facility every few days during a long trip in a foreign country.
