Staff were very friendly and helped us store our luggage for us before check in time. Our room was very spacious and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and there was also Netflix available (Japanese only but you can select Eng subtitles). Downside is that there is nothing in the area so you need to spend quite a bit of time travelling to the tourist attractions. Also it is also located near a train track and the windows are thin so you can hear trains running if you’re a light sleeper.

Great hotel
The room was tastefully decorated with Japanase style. It hand a room for tea, that at night transformed into a place to sleep with tatamis. The bathroom and shower area were among the best in Japan.

Very nice hotel and comfortable stay. Good accommodating for luggages storage before/after checkin. Too bad the breakfast required reservation and there wasn't much restaurant to close by. Close-by To-ji, train museum and aquarium.

Great location and spacious rooms
We had a great stay at Hotel Banister Kyoto. The hotel is located in a quiet area within a 10-min walk from the main Kyoto station. There is plenty of convenience stores, restaurants and a large mall within walking distance. We also found the park 2mins walk great give our kids a run around at (the aquarium is next to the park too). The room itself was spacious with a good layout. It had lots of great amenities and comfy beds. There is a small cafe and restaurant on the lobby but we never used it as the cafe didn’t open until 11 (even for coffee). Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend.

Mala experiencia, no volveremos ni lo recomendarem
La experiencia no ha sido buena. No habia agua caliente en la ducha de la habitacion, no habia cortina en el tatami por lo que si dormias alli, la liz del sol entraba a las 5:00am y finamente muy mal el desayuno: nos pidieron confirmar la hora y no entendemos el motivo ya que al llegar no estaba nada preparado y el desayuno en si, el occidental, la unica bebida era agua (ni cafe ni zumo ni nada más) y la comida eran dos hojas de lechuga, una loncha de beicon, un pure de verduras y 3 minipiezas de bolleria (lo unico comestible de todo el desayuno). En resumen, muy mala experiencia.
