WOW, what a FANTASTIC stay!

self-service cart spacious room coin laundry luggage storage

I appreciated the self-service cart on each floor stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The room felt spacious for two people. I loved the layout. The coin laundry was EXTREMELY useful, especially after long days. Luggage storage was available, the cafe had great coffee, and the gym offered a solid workout.

The in-room safe was a little small. I struggled to fit my larger electronics inside.

The coffee lounge area was a great spot to enjoy breakfast or a quick snack, and I always found it clean. Having tea bags freely available was a PLUS. I drank tea every evening. The vending machines were convenient for late-night cravings.

Rooms

The hotel offered free access to clean towels, toothbrushes, and razors. I found this super convenient. The location was excellent, close to the market and Gion area. I explored both easily. Secure storage space for luggage was a big plus.

Solid choice in a great location

helpful app easy check-in excellent location

The Kabin Taka app was helpful. It provided the room number and passcode for easy check-in. I could message through the app and get a quick response if i had questions. The hotel location is excellent (close to many attractions).

i found the window was covered with a dark membrane from the outside. This made the room completely dark, so there was a lack of daylight during the day. It created a very depressing vibe when i woke up in the morning, since it was as dark as night.
