Kyoto Central Inn

Frommer's Review

As the name implies, this inn is centrally located in the heart of the city, near the intersection of Shijo Dori and Kawaramachi Dori. It resembles a business hotel, but thanks to its great location, about 50% of its guests are tourists, with twins making up the vast majority of its rooms. However, rooms are worn and dated, with the only difference between those in the newer and older wing being that the newer-wing rooms are slightly larger and therefore more expensive. Since those facing the front or side of the building are plagued by traffic noise, ask for a room on a high floor facing the back, where you might have a view over surrounding buildings. Clearly, the best thing this aged hotel has going for it are its prices and its location. You even have to fetch your own tea from the lobby.

Facilities:
In-room massage; nonsmoking rooms
