Hotel was located at a very convenient location. Lots of facilities and amenities were available, including breakfast. Great value for money. Was very clean, and most guests I saw appeared to be non foreigners. Unfortunately the lockers were too thin to fit my suitcase so I had to leave it outside near reception alongside many other oversized suitcases from other travellers. Big let down is I sent a message to the property here on Expedia prior to my stay but no one ever responded to the message.

No sweat in this sauna resort capsule hotel

Posted May 26, 2019 on Hotels
Rumor Plaza makes for an interesting Japanese experience. Due to common sleeping and bathing quarters, it "caters to men" only. As a hotel, it is a capsule hotel, meaning small sleeping quarters which are about 1.5m height by width and about 2m long, stacked one above the other. The capsules have a TV (earphones supplied), light and ventilation control, and a bottle of water supplied. The other guests are quiet and the bed comfortable, so there is no trouble sleeping (there is also a clock to help wake up). In the morning an excellent and varied Japanese breakfast is served. Western style breakfast food seemed to be limited to toast and boiled eggs but the Japanese buffet is very comprehensive. The location is ideal, in the heart of Gion. The bathing facilities are on two levels, the upper of which is outdoors and features a medicinal bath and salt bath. One can also lie outside and watch TV (Japanese baseball seemed to be all the thing at the time of my visit). The lower level has the mandatory wash area for a good scrub before proceeding naked to the baths. There is a large and quite hot sauna, large hot pool, smaller cool pool, two very hot bath-size jetted tubs. Gion is of course the night life center of Kyoto, but also close to major temples and quiet areas on the Higashiyama hillside.

Totally worth your stay!

The stay was a pleasant one, everything is convenient and well catered for! I could hardly think of anything to ask for more! I especially like the outdoor spa and the suntanning area, but just a bit too hot during my time there.

Back again.

Second time here and as good as the first time. Only issue is with foreign guest who do not follow proper sauna etiquette. Most catch on by the second time. For the price you pay it’s excellent. Would definitely go back.
