Mini Inn Kyoto - Kyoto Historic district

“Much better hostels in the same area for a similar price”

The bed and pillow were comfortable, and the sheets were already on the bed with towels provided. The staff were friendly and the location is nice. However, the room had a mold smell, and for first‑floor guests without private bathrooms there was only one shared shower/sink area. That single sink, aside from the kitchen, was used for washing up, brushing teeth, and handwashing after using the bathroom, and it was unusable if someone was showering. They claim the accommodation tax is included, so you should leave a good review, but I don’t think the place deserves its 8.1 rating.

“Cheap but wasn’t worth it”

There was a damp odor throughout all rooms and bathrooms, mold in the bathroom, and the mats in the shared bathrooms were very dirty. Guests are not allowed to stay in the accommodation between 10 am and 3 pm. On top of that, renovation work inside the building and the noise from the room’s fan made it impossible to sleep.

The location and price are excellent for Kyoto.

“Excelente opción”

The place is accessible for public transport and close to everything, and it’s comfortable. Everything was very good; it could just be cleaner.

“Less than ideal. Would not revisit.”

The location was pretty central. Construction made rooms unavailable, left doors open to mosquitoes, and there was a smoking room inside the hostel that wasn’t well contained, so smoke drifted into your room.
