I loved the unique library book concept. Also the staff was very service-oriented. Also location is reasonably close to the Kyoto train station. Just a short taxi ride.

Book Hotel is very close to the Kujo subway station with walking distance. Only one station to reach Kyoto station which you can transfer to everywhere. The hotel room was very comfortable & tidy, but lack of hooks for hanging clothes and towels. Staffs are kindly with good smile also the most unique is the decoration of the books located every corner at the hotel.

Room: clean and tidy, spacious for 2 people to stay, spacious bathroom, bed is a bit low (quite close to the floor), pillows are soft (not so supportive for the neck), nice and dark when you close all the curtain
Staff: very friendly, can speak good English
Amenities: No water or coffee supplied in room (tap water is drinkable), plenty of towels in bathroom with hair dryer, has a vending machine for drinks and laundromat on another floor, plenty of books for you to read (only in Japanese), there is a bar/cafe on the ground floor
Location: 3 minutes walk from the nearest metro station (Kujo station), 9 minutes walk from Kyoto station, 2 convenience stores nearby
* The building right next to the hotel is under some construction work when I visit. Noises are expected but bearable and this is definitely not the hotel’s fault (saw someone blaming the hotel for this).

room was clean and size was ample since most hotel rooms in Japan are generally smaller. But for me I didn't know that the hotel was a book themed type of hotel since my son recommended from a search which their is no blaming anything here. But for a book lover this would be paradise because their are books everywhere in the lobby, hallways and your room but I mostly saw Japanese books but I'm sure there are English books somewhere.

3 star hotel treating their customers less than 1 star.
It still baffles me that a hotel offering a washing machine/dryer and refuses to give change to use the machine. In fact so determined not to do so leave notes about it.
I have been travelling for 5 weeks and I have never come across this! I can only see this as a way of the hotel trying to force their customers to ‘buy change’ for the machines.
I had enough coins for the washing machine but not the dryer so left the heating on all day in my room to dry the clothes. What a false economy for the hotel.
Maybe think of what would be helpful for people staying with you. The indifference, greed and customers having to use other methods (at an additional cost to you) seems ridiculous and not at all eco-friendly. What a shame!
I had other things I would have liked to ask the hotel staff but after this it was very clear to me I was not valued and it wouldn’t be worth my time. The only thing I could do is write this review.

어메니티(?) 는 셀프입니다 유료도 있다는데 뭔지는 모르겠고
조용히 있다가 가기엔 좋습니다 청소를 4일 이상 투숙시 실시 하기에 그동안은 당신이 어질러진 그대로 존재합니다
바로 맞은편에 사토라고하는 식당이 있는데 가성비가 꽤 괜찮고 밤늦게 택시 타고 오면 사토를 기준으로 말하면 편합니다
편의점이나 이자까야도 근방에 있어 꽤 숙박하기에 나쁘지 않습니다
거기다 교토역에서도 그리 멀지는 않아서 이동하기도 꽤 괜찮습니다

Hotel aceptable precio-calidad.
Limpio, funcional, en buen estado, con estilo, Pequeño como casi todos en Japón, aseo de la habitación solo si lo pides, la cama está casi a nivel de piso (estilo Japones) y me toco con colchón duro, qué al llegar a descansar después de caminar mucho lo resientes más. Relativamente cerca de la estación central de Kioto.
