It was one of the spacious property we had stayed at in Japan. Enough room to open up our luggage and without us bumping into each other. The beds were nice and comfy. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood.
It wasn't easy to find at first. Here on Expedia, you have it listed as OYO Hotel Musubi Kyoto Kiyomizu. But the sign out front of their establishment reads Guesthouse in Kyoto Kamo River Kyomizugojo. And depending on which search method you are using to locate this property, you may not be able to find this property. Also if your room window faces the main street, you hear the vehicles and people passing by.
I highly suggest to add a night stand lamp or desk lamp and hooks for hanging up towels. We paid a city tax here as well. I am not totally sure how they decide and when to collect, as it's based on nightly room rates. We stayed at this property for 3 days, out of our 3 weeks Japan vacation. This was the only property we paid "city tax" at. The other properties we spent more nights at and paid higher nightly rates, but NO additional city tax.
Here you must sort your own garbage and take out the trash. Not a big deal, but you need to clearly state on where we can put our bags out. You have location for bottles allocated in the hallway, why not spot for general garbage? Unless we missed it, and we would of asked had someone been at front desk. No direct transit access to/from Kyoto Station to nearest subway line.
