TheHedistarHotel KyotoNijo Comic&Books

I looove this hotel soooo much! Room was decent size for one, with enough space to open up your luggage at a corner and still have room to walk around. Toilet was clean and all things were working well. Cleaners were always on time and diligent. Free drinks and free comic book rental at level one. There's an English manga corner too! Air-conditioning works well, has everything you need in the room, just can't think of annny flaws this hotel has! Super convenient location as well, less than 5 minutes walk from Nijo Castle and Nijojo-mae Station. There are bus stops right outside and opposite the hotel too to head to the popular Yasaka-jinja Shrine. Location feels suuuper safe for a solo female traveller like me too! I can't wait to come back to Japan and book another stay here!!

A bus stop, a train station and Nijo Castle are all within a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is nice and clean. The view from the rooftop is nice. The stuff didn't speak english very well, but we were able to communicate with a translation app. They were very friendly and helped me sending my bags to the next hotel and find a Sento close by, that is tattoo friendly. The room is very nice. More spacious then the other rooms I stayed at on Japan.

The hotel is close to a metro station, buses pass in front and 15 minutes walking there is the Nijo JR station. It is well connected despite not being in Kyoto center. The staff was very friendly and checkin was easy. You can borrow books to read in the room. The room was small but with enough space to open the suitcase and with a table and a sofa to have tea. The bathroom was good and clean. The neighborhood is very quiet at night and there are few restaurants but on the corner there is a Lawson and a 7eleven.

Everything is great, located very close to the main Imperial Palace, and also quite easy to get to other Kyoto attractions. Fast working Wi-Fi. a huge gallery of comics on the 1st floor that you can borrow for reading. Pajamas are provided and the air conditioning works well. Breakfast in Japanese style, but the same every day. I stayed in Kyoto for a few days, and went to the neighboring cities of Nara and Osaka. I advise you to budget for Kyoto with trips to neighboring cities for 4-5 days

I found it very clean and relatively quiet. The location is very good as you can reach many places by foot and you have busses basically stopping at your doorstep. I appreciated the refreshments corner in the hall with teas and water. Having a laundry in a hotel is great too, although the drier function isn't working very well.
