Skvelý hotel s kompletným vybavením a vo veľmi strategickej polohe. Personál bol priateľský, ústretový a vždy pripravený pomôcť. Celkovo to bol pohodlný a príjemný pobyt.

The entire building was clean, and I felt safe staying there. Also, the Wi-Fi in my room was weak, so when I asked the front desk, they lent me a pocket Wi-Fi device for free, which was a great help.

Pros: 1. Convenient location, about a 5-minute walk from the tram station. 2. There's a 7-Eleven nearby, which is handy for stocking up. 3. The staff are very friendly and professional; basic communication in English is not a problem. 4. There are many restaurant options downstairs, and the wagyu restaurant's lunch is an excellent value! There's also a small shopping mall to browse. 5. The railway museum and aquarium are nearby, making it very family-friendly. Cons: There are only 4 self-service washing machines, which is far too few. This means guests often have to wait in line, which is quite inconvenient. It would be much better if more machines could be added.

Initially, I was just looking for Japanese-style accommodation, and I saw many bloggers recommending Umekoji Kadensho. Then, I saw that bicycles were available for rent, so I booked it. I managed to book a double room for three nights on Klook for just over 9,000 yen, which was quite a bargain! 😍 The conclusion is that there were no bicycles available for rent, but all other facilities were very satisfying. The public bath was extremely clean and had a wonderful atmosphere, making my first time bathing openly with others completely comfortable. I even bathed day and night! The private bath was relatively more ordinary but perfect for families and couples, and also suitable for those who are not comfortable bathing openly with others. 🫶🏻 The hotel also offers many free snacks and ramen, as well as free yukata for guests to try on, which is definitely worth experiencing. I highly recommend Umekoji Kadensho! Since my itinerary involved early departures, I didn't include breakfast in my booking this time, but I did add breakfast for the last day. Personally, I don't think it was the best value for money, but it's still worth trying. 👍🏻

An exceptionally high-standard hotel—new, beautifully renovated, exceptionally clean, with spacious rooms and extremely comfortable beds. The lobby offers complimentary high-quality coffee, cold juices, and both hot and iced tea all day long. In the morning, they even serve complimentary croissants, bread, butter, jam, and orange juice—even if you didn't book a breakfast package. Such a wonderful gesture! The staff is extraordinarily polite, attentive, and helpful. The location is fantastic: right on the main avenue, away from the chaotic crowds, yet just a few minutes' walk from all the main attractions like Nishiki Market, major shopping areas, and more. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto!

I visited Kyoto for the first time and Agora hotel was a great 5 nights stay to visit the city. cleanliness: the hotel was very clean, no complaints at all. service: the staff was very polite and available. transport access: we felt that it was easy to travel from the hotel via bus, subway and even train after a few minutes walk. breakfast: they offer some complementary drinks such as coffee matcha and water, as well as bread and juice for breakfast (even with no breakfast pack). hotel location: overall we were very happy with the location of the hotel as it had restaurants, transports, convinience stores and coffee shops close by.

This bread alone would make me want to stay here again; it's truly delicious! 😋 The croissant and a square citrus custard pastry were both incredibly tasty. The hotel and lobby are great, and there's also an affordable washing machine. Hotel location: Exit 2 Cleanliness: Clean Breakfast: Super delicious Convenience of transportation: Just around the corner from 7-Eleven Service: The staff are all very friendly
