Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Overall the accommodation was pretty good. Enough space for a family of 5. Having a temperature controlled bath was pretty special, water was honestly better then a few hot spring resorts we stayed at on the trip. 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, coin laundry just down the road.
Negative: A bit of communication break down regarding checking in. We were meant to have pre check in information sent to us to fill out 3 days prior but I had to chase the accommodation up to make sure everything was still ok with the booking the day of check in. The host had us wait till the moment we arrived (at check in time, maybe after) to issue us with the pass code to enter the accommodation, something we’ve not had happen on our journeys.
Summary: Bath - as good as any hot spring
