Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo Shinmachi

Hotel Intergate Kyoto Shijo Shinmachi

8/10 Good
"We travelled from Canada and stayed at Hotel Intergate Kyoto for four nights. The hotel is in a good location, and the staff were excellent. We also appreciated the amenities, including the laundry facilities, massage chairs, and lounge with complimentary drinks and snacks. Breakfast was available at an additional cost. Unfortunately, we were assigned rooms on the second floor, where noise from outside activity was disruptive. The rooms had very little space to store clothing for a four-night stay, and the bathroom had no storage space at all. The beds were reasonably comfortable, although a little too firm for our preference. As with other hotels on this trip to Japan, we booked through Expedia and came away feeling that we had been assigned less desirable rooms. While we can’t say whether the booking method influenced the room allocation, these experiences have left us reluctant to use Expedia for future hotel bookings."
