I truly enjoyed my stay at Ibis Styles Kyoto due to its LOCATION which is very convenient for travelers to discover Kyoto. It's the transportation system (buses & trains) which needs to be learned in order to be able to navigate all the must-see spots in Kyoto. People are helpful even if they have limited English and they always try to help anyway they can when one asks for directions. I'll definitely stay at Ibis Styles Kyoto in my next trip tp Japan.

We have stayed at Ibis Styles Kyoto Station 4-5 times and are always glad to come back to the familiar and friendly staff. Being an Accor Club member gives us complimentary coffee in the lobby, choice of welcome drinks on check-in and a snack in the room. The location is fantastic right by the Kyoto Rail Stn where we made day trips to Kobe/ Osaka and arrived back exhausted and thankful Ibis Styles is just across the road. A huge Aeon Shopping Mall 5 minutes walk to the right of the hotel has a supermarket for picking up food and souvenirs, a food court on the top level, a movie theatre and all the major shopping chains (Uniqlo, Muji, Daiso), as well as 3-4 other shopping malls within minutes of the hotel. Breakfast is always buzzing but we always had available seating with lots of staff replenishing the buffet and clearing the tables. Just before we came to Kyoto; we stayed at a typical studio Airbnb in suburban Toyama. Anyone who complains about the room size at Ibis Styles; should stay in what millions of Japanese have to live in. The main room was so small, that you couldn't put your suitcases on the floor because there would be no space to walk to the "kitchenette" and bathroom. The bathroom was maybe 2/3rds the size of the bathroom at Ibis, and the fridge was smaller than the one at Ibis. All for about the same price. A tip is that for a little extra $$; get a room facing Kyoto Station as you can see the train tracks and the activity in the morning with the daily commuters.

For 2 - 3 nights stay in Kyoto, ibis Styles is a perfect choice. In a very convenient distance from Kyoto JR & Kintetsu station. Aeon mall is 5 -7 minutes away as well. Room is typical 3 stars Japanes hotel, but I found clran, comfortable and functional.

Nice basic hotel but pillows are uncomfortable and the breakfast was terrible - not much variety and not great taste.

Location is excellent, just few minutes walk to Kyoto Station (Kintetsu, JR, Kyoto City bus, and Subway). The reception staff speak very good English, friendly and helpful. Check-in was fast. Room is spacious than similar hotels in Kyoto. Breakfast choices unfortunately are not much, but sufficient. During early morning (6-6.30am), the breakfast area were packed with people, and the room is not big enough. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Ibis Style Kyoto.
