SlowTime Hotel Kyoto

The price is honest for what it offers for a 3-star hotel and the staff are very polite.

Located in a quiet residential area, but with some lovely eateries within walking distance. Very clean, very spacious and it has all the amenities you could want. Finding a good breakfast nearby was a challenge, but definitely recommended for longer stays. The coin laundry around the corner was really good as well and very efficient. Plus the showers were really powerful and refreshing!

The room was super clean and had all facilities needed- a teapot, cups, all bath needs, even a hair conditioner and body lotion in big bottles which is much better than small sachets. At the reception one can take tooth kit. A lot of clean towels. Garbage is removed every day. Room service once in 3 days. Check in is only before 21.00 which is not very good but the host was very kind to wait for us as we had been late for the train and arrived at 23.00 Quiet premises.

The room was very clean, and the carpets in the room and wallpaper looked new. The location was in a residential neighborhood and was very quiet, which we liked. We were only two blocks from a main street where there was a Starbucks for breakfast and other restaurants if we didn’t grab dinner elsewhere. Easy access to trains and taxis which were our main choices of transport. We did ask for a shower in the bathroom, if you are not from Japan, it may startle you to see a Japanese style bath and shower. The tub is very deep but short, and the shower controls connect to the sink. The water pressure was great, no difficulty washing hair.

There was everything we may need in the hotel, included tools that you may need. In the bedroom there was a phone charger with two different cables and connectors. The check in was smooth. The hotel is on a quiet rood 5 minutes walking from Starbucks and 10 from train station.
