Carta Hotel Kyoto Bettei

祇園祭の際に

10.0

ベッドが大きく寝心地も良かった。 バスとトイレがセパレートタイプなのも良きです。 全体的に清潔やし今回は一泊でしたが次は連泊してみたいと思いました。

− 駅からの道が少し分かりにくかった。 多分京都という土地に慣れてない人間は少し迷うかと思います。

Quiet, cozy hotel at most convenient location offering a fantastic deal

10.0

Most tourists in Kyoto will consider the location near the intersection of the major streets Oike and Karasuma ideal: easy to reach from Kyoto station using the subway, very quiet in a small side street, just a few minutes by foot away from the park Kyoto goen with the old Imperial Palace, from Nijo Castle, from the banks of the Kamo river, shopping districts, etc. Even large parts of the Higshiyama district can be reached by foot. Some attractions, like the Golden and Silver Pavilions, require using public transportation or a taxi, however. I did not have many points of interaction with the staff, but they were always helpful and friendly, with a more personal touch than in larger hotels (Carta Hotel Kyoto Bettei has only 12 or 16 rooms). The reception is not staffed around the clock, but the key card allows one to enter at night. Even though I traveled alone, I got a large room with two good-sized beds (some will consider the mattresses on the hard side, but I slept well), a desk, bathroom and separate toilet. A wooden wall/ceiling behind and above the beds give the room an unconventional touch – I liked it. Of course, there is air conditioning. The view from the window across the narrow street is not great, but much better than what I have experienced even in some decent hotels in Tokyo. If you travel in summer, an eye cover like those often used in airplanes might be useful because the curtain does not shut out the light completely. This small hotel does not offer breakfast, but there are plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. In addition, there are several "kombini" (convenience stores open 24/7) and a decent food store within a 100 m. There are a kettle in the room and a microwave oven in the lobby. Finally, I have to mention that I am almost ashamed about how fabulous a deal I got for my one-week stay...

− I had to work in the room for long hours for several days; a real chair instead of the two small stools would have been more comfortable. But this will hardly matter to "normal" tourists. A nice feature is that they provide complimentary tea bags. Me being a tea lover and this being Kyoto, the taste of the green tea was a little disappointing. The problem was promptly solved by buying some powdered tea in the food store around the corner...

すごくよかったです！
