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.

Decent size room for the money. Cafe with free tea and coffee available to guests all day! My room had an amazing view and really joyed making my tea in the room with the provided kettle and looking out at the mountains to start each day. House keeping staff came in and tidied up each morning without requesting it which was a nice touch. Convenience store next door. Bus stop right out the front door.

Room looks like the photo. Bathroom creatively compact but the shower can hold temp. Room will fit 2 comfortably, walkway may get a bit cluttered. Split system is very nice, the blackout blinds work super well too. They have daily cleaning so make sure you put the sign on the door if you don't want that service. Manga library is very nice, you can borrow 10 at a time. Pretty much walking distance to most things in Kyoto main, short train trip to the further out ones.
