Izutsu Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo

This hotel is bargain with its location. We arrived to Sanjo metro station and walked here with our luggage, perfect distance. It took bit time to find entrance, which is several stairs up, so not easy access. Generally location superb. Staff greeted us warmly, however it felt that there is only one staff member speaking English. Rest solved speaking with Google Translator. Obviously they understood the English. Very nice staff. Our room was smaller than a tiny. Basically the suitcase had to be opened by the entrance, blocking it. Room offered all necessities, table, fridge, TV (never used) and air condition, which had a sign "do not hung items here". That reveals the only main handicap of the room. There was only four hooks by the entrance. None in bathroom for towel or toiletry bag. Bed was good and firm, perfect for my taste. Bathroom was small, with deep bath for the shower. Very good shower with high water pressure. Offered amenities were good, big spenders to save plastic. I missed bit a body lotion. There is no restaurant at the hotel, so no breakfast at premises. Hotel recommends two locations like Tully's, whereto they offer breakfast voucher. We visited Cafe Boulangerie Kyoto, which is close by. Summary: Super location, recommended without a breakfast.

The location of the hotel is perfect, in the modern side of kyoto near all the action and at the same time within a 5 minute walk to the old town. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff are nice but a few of them have good english for communication. The rooms are very clean and has good amenities however very small.

It’a a very comfortable place right in one of the best area in Kyoto. The staff is prepared and ready to give you all you need with a beautiful smile. Rooms very clean but tiny. No breakfast in the hotel, so you have to take care by your own in the many places in the area
