Staff was very quick to rectify a leak in the water jug which had dampened the floor around our mini fridge. Great checkin and check out with online process and automatic door. Very streamlined. Big regret however is their one laundry machine per floor was not adequate, and on my floor there was none and it steamed the clothes in the dry cycle instead of drying them so we had to hang our clothes up to dry. Would have preferred a laundry room with many machines instead. Great coffee from the small bar attached.

Very clean and nice rooms. Quiet rooms so great nights sleep. Comfy beds. Great location and easy to access the main sites.
KABIN is an exceptional hotel. The staff was so nice and helpful and the aesthetic of it is overall amazing. Everything is convenient. Highly recommend KABIN if you’re in Kyoto!
Great central hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Within walking distance of a lot of Kyoto's sights and handy as well for metro and shops. Lots of options for breakfast/lunch and dinner nearby too.
Breakfast not served everyday--which was difficult as there is no other place nearby. Reception staff were not knowledgeable--resorted to google to search--which anyone can do! Bar also was not open everyday! No place to store luggage on the property. So you have to take it to their sister property!
Dirty! I had high expectations for this hotel however I was met with extreme disappointment and disgust. Long story short, our bedding was soiled with blood, and it caused my skin to completely breakout in hives. I was offered a two night stay refund for the inconvenience and they would not hear of a full refund.

Checkin process was very long and my key didn’t work - they forgot our door was malfunctioning and I received a physical key after two trips up and down. No cleaning service, they leave all supplies by the elevator. Clean, close to many attractions, front staff friendly and knowledgeable. Pretty far from subway station if you have to bring a lot of luggage (recommend taking a Grab/taxi).
Great friendly professional staff. Spotlessly clean. Large room too. Could not fault it. Great location. Would have been nice to have a safe in the room. Would definately stay there again. Make sure you do. You will not be disappointed.
The room was incredibly clean and surprisingly spaceous for Japan. The location is ideal and we were able to walk almost everywhere in Kyoto. Additionally, the staff were all incredibly helpful and found us some great dinner spots.
Spacious room and very comfortable. Within 10mins walk to the Shijo dori main shopping area, Teramachi and Nishiki markets maybe 12mins.
Lots of bus stops within a short walk
An excellent coin laundry just a couple of doors up the street and a seven eleven around the corner.
