La'gent Hotel Kyoto Nijo

Literally a 10/10 experience at this hotel! The staff were so accommodating and helpful. We loved it so much we extended our stay 2 extra nights and they helped us with that! The room is comfortable, modern and the bed is even more comfortable. I think the highlight for us was the onsen in the hotel. They had showers supplied with shampoo, conditioner soap and skincare. It was basically a spa right inside of the hotel you have access to while you stay. The traditional Japanese breakfast was delicious and we paid for it 2 of the mornings we weee there. Location only 10 minutes from JR station and near Nijo Castle. Highly recommend!

was about a 10 minute walk to Nijo station, but bus was right out front and I feel like in Kyoto you use the bus more than the train to get around. Room was comfy and up to date. Bathroom did feel like a trailer bathroom but had no issues with it. For the price you can't beat this hotel and staff is super friendly and welcoming.

Location wise is convenience to go to famous attractions around Kyoto. Bus stop is right in front of the hotel and a short walk to train Nijo Station, 3 stops away from Kyoto Station. Even though hotel is right beside the main road, however it is not noisy. Room size is comfortable enough for two of us. Beds are really2 comfortable. Bathtub is big 😄 There’s microwave at level 1 where you can heat up your foods and eat at the common room near the reception desk. The welcome drink station is really great. Their cold green tea is super good and refreshing. The washing machine is also convenient for us, there’s english instruction so do not worry on how to operate the machine. The staff are friendly and approachable 😊 The public bath was a great experience for us.

As they are considered 4* hotel, I have marked them with the criteria of 4*. Amenities were ok, the breakfast was very good.... Although the staff did the best they could, was really confusing about everything. It was as a mistake from booking (with the number of people in each room) - but so far I never had a similar problem. Because the rooms were twin, booked with the price for 2 people (but on the booking it stated 1 person in the room - but the message clearly said one or max 2people in the room). Although I have sent them message with number of people in advance, they didn't give any answer. When I sent the rooming (3days in advance), they informed me about the extra charges - no problem, but definitely no need to wait until the last moment, when everywhere is full. Sometimes hotel sends me in advance, that I should consider moderation or for how many I booked. It happened the same with taxis I ordered - so 2 taxis were missing (lucky for us another guy at the reception arranged additional 2taxis). But the bitter taste remains, because it is nobody's fault - but mine (which is odd, since they should communicate with each other at the reception).

Very nice service, very clean in the room, safe in the room, but small. It's great that the toilet is separated from the bathroom (it's in a different room than the bathroom). close to the bus stop. Also close to the grocery store, 5 min walk to a large supermarket (hypermarket) I appreciate the option to store luggage after check out.
