Based on recent reviews

Kabin Koji offers a stylish and modern experience in a convenient Kyoto location, within walking distance of the main Kyoto street and Gion, as well as many restaurants and bars.

Guests appreciate the shared kitchen featuring a microwave and, for longer stays, the convenience of on-site laundry facilities.

Average stay with service issues

the hotel is on a quiet street and the rooms are clean.

i stayed for five consecutive nights but the room was only cleaned once. considering the price, more frequent service should be provided. this level of service does not match the cost per night.
