You must stay at this affordable hotel when you visit Kyoto
Kyoto Higashiyama DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Review
The first stop of my trip to Kyoto was the Higashiyama DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, where I stayed as a Diamond member. The hotel is very conveniently located. I came from Osaka and got off at Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, and it was only a 2-minute walk to the hotel.
I arrived at the hotel at 12 pm. As it was not yet check-in time, I stored my luggage and went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The hotel is not far from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, about a 25-minute walk. The hotel lobby is on the B1 floor, so you need to go down from P2-P3 after entering the hotel.
✅Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The review did not mention any soundproofing issues, and the overall cleanliness was good.
🏘️Room Type/Layout: The room is about 30 square meters, which is relatively spacious for Japan. However, the space is a bit tight when you put a 28-inch suitcase in the room. The bed is similar to a tatami mat, with a low height and a soft mattress. The room is clearly divided into functional areas, with a separate toilet, bathroom, bathtub, and sink. When you open the curtains, you can see the road outside. Although there is no special view, you can enjoy the rainbow when it rains, which is quite pleasant.
🛌Supplies/Facilities: Although the hotel does not have a lounge, there is a happy hour from 5 pm to 6 pm every day, with a wide variety of drinks to meet your needs. The breakfast is rich in variety, with staple foods such as rice and bread, and fresh fruit for a balanced diet. The hotel also has a public bath (not hot spring water), which is separated by gender and requires full nudity. The bath is not large, but there are few people, so you can enjoy a comfortable experience. In addition, the soda machine downstairs is worth mentioning, as it produces delicate bubbles, which is a must-try for soda lovers.
💰Per Capita Consumption: 200+ The cost performance is still very high.
💗Other Tips: The hotel does not provide luggage delivery service to the room, so you need to handle it yourself.
