Homm Stay Nagi Sanjo Kyoto By Banyan Group

I enjoyed my stay at your hotel in Kyoto. I appreciated having two types of breakfast options to choose from—Japanese and Western. The breakfasts were delicious, with plenty of variety, and never repetitive, which was a wonderful touch. The location was also very convenient. It was close to public transport, with the metro station and a shopping street just a 10-15 minute walk away. At the same time, the area was quiet and peaceful, which made it a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The room was spacious and well-suited for families. I especially appreciated the large desk, which made it easy to do some work during my stay. I’d also like to compliment the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my experience even better. I would happily stay at this hotel again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Kyoto, especially families.

Especially for the price that I paid, which seem to be well discounted, it was above expectations. I actually extended my stay and moved to another room. First I stayed 2 nights at a superior twin and then moved for another 2 nights to a deluxe twin. All rooms here seem to be well above the average size for hotel rooms Japan. The deluxe room is bigger, has a more modern looking sofa, an air humidifier×air filter (which they should clean actually) and for some reason even though it has the same AC unit and needed to heat a bigger room it seemed to do a much better job, but it was actually slightly less clean and I liked the layout of the superior twin room better. The AC unit in the superior room seemed to have a tough time heating up the room but I asked the reception staff and they had a dyson heater×air which together with the AC unit did a great job. The towels are amazingly soft and the shower soaps were much better than the average I've experienced in Japan. The location was also fairly convenient for public transportation - bus and subway stations, nijo castle, Kyoto Sanjo shopping street (shotengai) or even the main street that goes all the way to Yasaka Shrine if you're ok with a bit of a walk.

Breakfast was served in our room. We took the Japanese version and it was delicious, plentiful and beautiful in presentation. I had read the reviews that said to put the trays outside the room if not getting your room cleaned. The room was large, well laid out, with a separate toilet room with sink and beautiful art painted on the walls. There were some very good restaurants nearby. A Yakatori restaurant that you need to reserve due to popularity, a Spanish restaurant and a cute little bakery style breakfast/lunch place.

The staff at Kyoto Homm Stay was amazing. So friendly and helpful... when we checked in, they asked how old our daughter was and we told her it was her birthday. Our room wasn't ready yet, so when we returned from lunch and went to our room, they'd decorated it with a special futon bed for her, and a beautiful "cake" made of towels and flowers and a happy birthday sign laid out beautifully on the bed! The room was huge by Japanese standards, beautifully decorated, modern, and with every comfort we could've wanted. It's about a 5-15 minute walk from areas to find restaurants, shopping, and bus lines. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

The hotel room that we had was very spacious, especially for a Japanese hotel. Great shower and bath and lots of amenities. The staff was very kind and spoke good English.
