Hotel Anteroom Kyoto is known for its spacious rooms, some boasting a unique artistic style and decor, and often considered a great value for the price. Guests particularly enjoy the breakfast buffet, which includes tasty, quality ingredients, and the convenience of having Lawson's konbini right across the street. Some guests have noted that the walk to Kyoto Station can be a bit long, about 15 minutes, but Jujo Station is closer and easily accessible.

poor room configurationcursory cleaning
i stayed at this hotel for several nights and must register my dissatisfaction. the room configuration was far from optimal. it felt smaller than necessary, a problem easily remedied with a more intelligent layout. furthermore, cleanliness was not up to standard. upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the room received only a cursory cleaning. this is unacceptable, especially considering the rates charged.

art space stay

the hotel is also an art space. it feels bright and open. the location is great and quiet. i had space to open my cabin luggage on the luggage rack and still walk around.
the temperature control in my room was terrible. it was either freezing or i was sweating. the bathroom was always cold, even with the heat on. the breakfast options were scarce.

the hotel is near a subway station, a walk takes only about ten minutes. the proximity to the main train station provides access to other cities. it is a convenient location for exploring.

Really good Stay, Art, Comfort, and Convenience!!!

ample spacenice staffrental bikedistant station
The single room offered ample space with a perfect layout. I found the staff nice, always ready to assist. Luggage storage and the free two-hour rental bike service were definitely valuable additions. I was able to explore the area at my own pace.
The location presented a minor challenge since the nearest subway or bus station was a 15-minute walk. This required a bit more planning for sightseeing.

The hotel is situated in a quiet part of town. Several bus and subway stops are about five minutes awaywith easy access to different areas. This location added convenience to my explorations.
Dining

The breakfast buffet offered a good selection. I sampled the diverse vegetables, eggs, sweets, cereals, and drinks. The bar provides a great area for relaxation and unwinding after a long day, and the options were diverse and yummy!!!
