Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma - Kyoto 3-Star Hotel

Rare to find a hotel offering both breakfast and dinner at a price point around $35 USD, representing exceptional cost-effectiveness. *

A steam bath facility on the basement floor is practical for relieving fatigue after a day's activities. *

A Lawson convenience store located directly next to the building makes it very easy to procure late-night snacks or daily necessities. *

Despite the building's exterior and age, the interior cleaning is neat, and it generally meets basic hygiene standards

*

Check-in is late at 4 PM and check-out is very early at 10 AM, resulting in a short actual stay duration. *

The complimentary meals are served in a school cafeteria-like atmosphere, with long queues during peak hours, and the portions are insufficient for adult males. *

The bed mattresses are hard, the TV does not support Netflix and only shows Japanese channels, and the internal corridors are complex like a maze. *

While room cleaning is generally good, there are consistent guest feedback about ammonia odors in some bathrooms

Those who want to minimize travel expenses by covering two meals within the accommodation cost. *

Travelers who are not sensitive to room size and wish to use the large public bath at an affordable price. *
