Sakura Terrace The Atelier

Nice hotel in kyoto with really small rooms, albeit with a comfortable bed and pillows... close to subway and buses and is easy to get to the sites of kyoto. Not much in the way of restaurants or markets in the area...a little out of the way... they have a lovely tea and coffee bar that is very nice. While there is no kitchen they have plates and utensils, a microwave and toaster oven to cook in. Highly recommend this hotel

This was our first time in Japan. We stayed at 5 different hotels over 2 weeks and my son and I thought this was the best. Even though the room was quite small to American standards, the bed was very comfortable. The bathrooms and communal showers were clean, private, and exceeded our expectations. It really helped to be able to do laundry at no additional cost. They had water and ice in the lobby. The staff were great. The location was 5-10 minutes from Kyoto Station and easy to find. Overall this was a great place and we would stay there again.

A bad smell when first time go in the room

Nice friendly hotel, well situated only a few blocks from Kyoto metro station.

-Attention! English below- 荷物預かりで不快な思いをしました。夜遅くまで戻れない用があったため、荷物預かりの時間をいくつかのホテルに問い合わせて予定を確定しました。 当日中まで大丈夫とのことでしたが、チェックアウト時になって夜22時までですと言われました。予定上戻れない事、事前に当日中までと言われたメッセージを見せると、23時までと言われました。 ギリギリでしたが間に合うように戻り荷物をフリースペースで整理していると、「もう鍵が閉まります」と急かすように言われました。 チェックアウトしたら発言を覆されるのはいかがなものでしょうか。 結局電気は消します、とのことで暗くされました。しかしながらその間も宿泊客が外からも中からも行き来しており、私を追い出すために嘘をつかれたのだとわかりました。遅くまで荷物を預けたい方はご注意ください。 I had a very unpleasant experience regarding luggage storage. Since I had plans that would keep me out late, I confirmed the storage hours with several hotels before finalizing my itinerary. I was told beforehand that storage was available until the end of the day, but upon checkout, I was informed that the limit was actually 10:00 PM. When I explained that my schedule wouldn't allow me to return by then and showed the message confirming the "end-of-day" policy, the staff member reluctantly agreed to extend it to 11:00 PM. It was still a tight squeeze, but I managed to return in time. However, while I was organizing my luggage in the common area, I was rushed by a staff member saying, "We're locking up now." It is unacceptable to have a policy confirmed prior to booking only to have it overturned after checking out. In the end, they turned off the lights, leaving the area in darkness. Yet, guests continued to come and go from both inside and outside during that time, making it clear to me that I had been lied to get me to leave. Please be aware of this if you need to store your luggage until late.
