Kabin Koji enjoys a convenient location within walking distance of Gion and Pontocho Alley, as well as various bus and metro stations, making it easy to explore Kyoto. Guests appreciate the modern, relatively spacious, and clean rooms. The ground floor lounge, complete with a microwave and water/tea dispenser, is a pleasant space, and the availability of a washing machine and dryer is a plus; however, some guests have noted that the reception is not always staffed. Many also find it to be a great value for money.

mixed feelings about this stay

central locationcomplicated check-interrible air conditioning
the hotel had a good location that was quite central. i could easily walk to many places.
The check-in process was a mess. They wanted me to use an app or ipad, but it failed. it would have been much simpler if the staff had just checked me in like a normal hotel. the air conditioning was also awful. It blew right on me while i slept, i found this annoying and it did not maintain consistent settings, ugh.
