Kyoto Hotel Guide - Bamboo Forest Muko City hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"I enjoyed my stay at JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI. It's located within a 5-minute from Kyoto Station and has a 7-Eleven which is linked to the main lobby. The main challenge is finding your way out of Kyoto Station which is huge and confusing but no fault of the hotel! :) The room was a good size (not big but comfortable) and had a writing desk which made it easy for me to do my work and have my takeout meals. At the ground floor lift lobby, there's a sort of "buffet table" of daily consumables such as toothbrushes and shavers. The staff were friendly. Checking in and out was easily done at the automated kiosks. I loved the surroundings of the hotel. The area it was located in was safe, clean and quiet. It was easy to walk to the Keihan bus terminal at Avanti Building so that I could buy tickets for and board the airport limousine bus to Kansai International Airport. I would absolutely choose to stay in this hotel again if I were visit Kyoto again."

"Lovely and very clean hotel! The staff were extremely respectful and courteous throughout our stay. We appreciated the breakfast options — both the French set menu and the buffet were excellent. My family also loved the convenient location, close to Kyoto Station, shopping malls, and popular tourist attractions. I asked the concierge to help me find a taxi at 5:30 a.m. to Ninenzaka, and they arranged it in less than 10 minutes. The staff even made sure it was the right taxi for me. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Kyoto and will happily recommend this hotel to our friends."

"Clean room | Staff | Bar | Breakfast "

"I didn't realise this was a love hotel before booking, and probably wouldn't have booked it if we'd known. What a mistake that would have been apart from the talking point back home. I'm sure there are some seedy ones, but love hotels are quite common in Japan for those that live with parents etc. There was nothing seedy that we saw in the 6 days we were there. The room was enormous, the bed was enormous, the bathroom was enormous and the double jacuzzi bath was amazing. The decor was a bit tired in places and the breakfasts (both Japanese style and Western) were not the best but edible. We had a fridge, massage chair, massive TV, projector and screen, sofa, eating area, and it's up to you if you want to use the vibrator or something from the vending machine. I would quite happily stay here again and recommend it to anybody who's open-minded. We also had free and ample parking and about a 10/15-minute walk to the local train station. Multiple convenience stores around and albeit not too many restaurants, there were many on the walk to the train station."

"This property offered a great location near public transportation. The breakfast was excellent. However it is not one to enjoy a luxurious experience "

"The best stay of our whole trip in Japan by far! Great amenities especially after a long day of walking and exploring"

"Beautiful Location and excellent hotel"

"This was a great hotel as it was clean, good room size, breakfast was fantastic (lots of Japanese and Western options) and the hot baths is a bonus! The only downside was that we had to take the bus to get to most locations (which I learned after visiting Kyoto this is a common thing for everyone since the train system isn't as elaborate as it is in Tokyo so I still gave it 5 stars). Overall, for the price and value of the hotel we would stay here again! "

"Everything was perfect. Clean, organized, comfy beds. Really enjoyed the stay here. The snacks in the evening were a great plus. We hung out at the end of the day in the dining area and played games and snacked;)"
