Hotel The M's Kyoto

The hotel is in a very convenient location, excellent if you've got a lot of luggage and don't want to have to walk far to the main station. The station is the main hub of public transportation and had many, many shops and restaurants so we appreciated being so close. The beds are comfortable and we really liked the downstairs lounge area. Lots of seating and some games. The staff was helpful with our questions.

This hotel seemed to cover everything we needed; was very close to the Kyoto train station (about 4 mins walking), was spacious, very clean and affordable. It is located across the road from a Family Mart and about 3 mins walk to a 7Eleven. Although the rooms do have small tables, there is a cool “rumpus” style room on the ground level with kitchen style facilities and tables - so people like us who purchased take away food we had somewhere enjoyable to sit and eat, with fun games at hand. We only stayed two nights in between Hakuba and Osaka but we had a great stay…I did kick my toe on the weird makeshift bed one of the kids had (think it was a couch turned into a bed?!?), which broke my toe - was my fault so can’t complain…just watch your toes people!

This hotel was quiet and comfortable. It was within walking distance (less than 10 minutes) from the Shinkansen station which we took to Tokyo. We saved on not paying for a taxi. The staff was friendly, helpful, and courteous. I enjoyed speaking with them about getting restaurant recommendations.

We chose this hotel because it was described as a business hotel. EVERYTHING was immaculate, new or both. The desk staff were all courteous, professional and either spoke English or were able to write English. The rainfall shower exceeded expectations because one of us is 6'6" tall. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner were all provided. Although not many amenities were "in the room" there were plenty of items available in the lobby for guests to use/take. Brushes, tooth brushes, small body wash cloths, air and fabric refresher, and more. Water was resupplied every day at no extra charge. There was a kettle, teabags, a hairdryer and a small refrigerator. A real refrigerator, not a pre-stocked-get-charged-for-taking it out minibar.

Great location. Clean and comfortable. They have a big lobby area where you can chill, work and have meals. About 5 minutes away from the Kyoto train station. There are two convenience stores down the road. There aren't too many restaurants on the road of the hotel but there are a few at the main train station. Reception staff were very helpful, the assisted with booking restaurants. There are laundry machines available at the hotel, this is a paid for service.
