Kyoto Central Inn

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 narrow corridors leading to tiny rooms. Because the main building is boxed in between higher buildings, rooms here are dark (and some don't even have windows), so you might want to pay slightly more for the annex (ask for a room on a high floor facing the back, where you might have a view over surrounding buildings). Clearly, the best things 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:
Lobby computer w/free Internet; smoke-free rooms
