The hotel is in a very convenient location, just opposite JR station, and huge shopping mall. Very new, clean and modern. Great facilities and everything works perfectly. Comfy bed. Spotless room and bathroom. Impressive toilet amenities. The room is rather small but it's normal for Japan. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely book here again if we go back... More

Good location, just opposite of JR station. Small rooms and lack of English TV stations. Stuff didn't speak English well. More

Useful location opposite railway station and with a buffet Japanese breakfast for those on the run.Tiny bedrooms and no public lounges or other public areas does not make this a tourist hotel.Staff at check in were helpful and breakfast adequate but travelling as a couple makes it hard to move around in the room,especially with any suitcases More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and thought it was great. The only downfall I had was that it didn't have a Western Style Buffet, but wasn't a big deal, since the JR Station has plenty of other restaurants to pick from. The room was a decent size, and so was the bathroom. The hotel is perfectly located... More

I stayed in this Hotel for four nights during end June, 2011. The hotel is located next to the Kyoto Railway Station, so I could easily take the train or bus to visit the attractions in Kyoto and other cities. Also, the hotel service is very good and the staff are polite. Furthermore, the breakfast is traditional Japanese one and... More

Smallish rooms, but surprisingly decent hotel located right across the street from the really impressive Kyoto train station. It is on the opposite side from the Kyoto Tower. Reception is up a few floors with the rooms on floors above. Clean, efficient, well managed with helpful front desk staff. Turned out to be an ideal launching point for our touring... More

My room at the Vista was extremely compact - the bed touched the walls on 3 sides - yet I didn't feel at all claustrophobic. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Staff at Reception (on 3rd floor) were friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent English. The coin laundry on the 2nd floor was a real bonus. Located across the road from... More

located literally opposite JR kyoto station. from Hachijo exit, keep going towards the right side of the station until you can see the hotel. we were staying in a twin room for 2 nights.Room was very clean and the beds were reasonably comfortable. our breakfast was free, but we only had it on the first day as they only served...

A clean basic room which had everything I needed. Staff were efficient and helpful when asked. I sought a non-smoking restaurant and the man at the front desk thought hard and then realised there was a food court at the railway station that was non-smoking. Again, not a large room but big enough and a very nice bath. My room... More
