下樓周邊很多可以逛的店，附近有超商，唐吉訶德，吃的也非常多！唯獨早餐選擇性較少，食材沒了補上的速度較慢，但整體還是非常推薦！
Pros:

地點非常方便，附近很多逛點

Cons:

Besides the laundry and small bathroom the food was great and the space and price was great.
Pros:

The location is great and our room was very spacious for 3 people.

Cons:

I don’t like that you can practically see people on the toilet in the bathroom and the bathroom is a little small. Also don’t do your laundry there they only have two washer and dryers and they don’t dry.

Good location, bad everything else
Pros:

The location was the only redeemable quality.

Cons:

Honestly felt like the cheapest/tacky hotel we stayed at in Japan, not only do they only clean your room once every 3/4 days. Everything screams budget hotel. This will definitely be the last time I stay at a Travelodge. Staff were also not the politest. Laundry machine also did not wash and dry well

I expected more to be a bigger hotel in the heart of Kyoto.
Pros:

Location, laundry room. This hotel was okay, but not our favorite. All staff speak english. They had a restaurant that served breakfast.

Cons:

We ordered two rooms and specifically requested non-smoking rooms and closer to each other. When we arrived and went to our rooms, we couldn’t even stay at the room due to the smell of cigars. The staff were very nice to find another room for us.
The breakfast was not like we saw on the photos.

Pros:

great location. close to many stores, restaurants, bars, etc. everything was in walking distance if you want to stay locally.

Cons:

if you want to wash your clothes. you have to find the right time to go. thankfully i came right when someone was finished, but there is only 2 washers. so you might end up waiting a while.

Pros:

Location to shops and transport. Visual look and feel. Spacious room for four people.

Cons:

Beds and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. Dryer for the washing did not work (damp clothes after multiple drying cycles). No tidying of rooms (e.g. bed making, rubbish removal, towel and cup replacement) unless requested. Breakfast was very basic and not enough staff to service the restaurant. Looked like mould around the aircon vents and seats in the lobby area.
