This simple new business hotel a short walk from the main (north) exit of Kyoto Station offers great convenience at super-cheap rates.
There’s nothing fancy about this place, but it’s clean and well run. If you want the convenience of being very close to Kyoto Station, with all the transport, dining and shopping that it offers, then this is a great choice, especially if you’re on a tight budget. The free breakfast is a nice touch.
If this one is full, try the Hotel Excellence Kyoto Hachijo, on the south side of the station.
