Good Location but Bad Mattress

I loved the location, right in front of south exit of the subway. Kyoto does not have much subway network so you might be wasting money to ride two stops from the subway, but the buses are just as terrible, because of the volume of the traffic. I would like the Kyoto station area but all the reasonably priced hotels were sold out. This hotel looks great at the lobby but you will be disappointed when you get to the room. I got a smoking room on 14th floor because they didn't have a non-smoking room for a bigger bed for two. We left the window open for three days and it still smelled strongly of smoke. And maybe because it's a smoking room, it was very dirty looking. But the bathroom was clean but very small. The biggest problem is that the mattress is really bad. I could not lay down on the side because my rib cage was feeling the spring in the mattress. After all day of walking around in Kyoto a good night sleep is necessary... Although all the shortcomings, I would still recommend this hotel simply because the lack of good priced hotels in Kyoto, and it's location.

I would stay at Karasuma Kyoto Hotel again.

Excellent service. Great location-just steps away from the subway and two subway stops from Kyoto Station. Very clean bath and toilet facilities. Overall, a good deal for the cost.

Decent hotel for the price

This hotel is located in central Kyoto right of the subway. The rooms are very small by western standards but this is typical for Japan. Overall, given the price, it's a reasonable place to stay.

A good value

Small rooms, but clean and well maintained.
