A cheap-ish business hotel located right under retro Kyoto Tower, this well-located business hotels offers some of the cheapest rates in the Kyoto Station area.
At first glance, you’d be tempted to dismiss the Kyoto Tower Hotel as an outdated throwback to another era of tourism. But, the rooms, though small-ish, are in pretty good shape and the rates here are barely more than you’d pay at a guesthouse. And did I mention that the pace is DIRECTLY across from Kyoto Station? Really, if you want convenience, a decent room and a great price, give this hotel some serious consideration.
