- For sure it’s getting harder and harder to book a room, because the place is such great value at an amazing location.

Honestly, don’t want to write this review, because once word gets out, I’m sure this hotel will be booked out continuously. Just an amazing hotel, stay and experience here. - 10 minutes walk from Kyoto Station, but there is a LUUP rental and parking spot right next door; - Amazing facilities; clean modern coin laundry, onsite bar/restaurant, small private sento/onsen, modern clean communal kitchen, an amazing library and art space; - Has movie screenings in evening (mostly avant garde art and international movies); - The library/art/relax space is just amazing to chill; - Design is similar to a modern 5* Hotel (think Frank Lloyd Wright, Andaz or Park Hyatt); - Room was small but super clean, comfortable, fast internet and nice mini-fridge and air-conditioning; - Staff were all superb, fast, friendly and efficient; - Located on a street chock full of high-end but also reasonably priced eateries, cafes and 7-Eleven a couple of minutes walk away.

Everytime we came back to our room there was stuffy smell.

The position is super! Also we did enjoy the public bathub Whic is a plus!

Nothing bad to say

Clean, compact and had everything I needed, great air con, great shower and toilet. Didn’t have a TV but that was fine. And 15 minutes away from Kyoto station

Nothing to complain about. I was satisfied

My main goal was just a bed, but the staff service was very friendly and helpful plus the Gin bar offered a great range of drinks. Once again the staff was helpful there.

One member of stuff decided not to explain the facilities and activities offered, the water offered in b1 is always warm and not allowed to use the cold one from 1st fl.

Very good stay. Nice lounge. Good cocktail bar and sofas on b1 to hang out with friends. Possible to store luggage. Towels and other necessities are free to take within need. Possible to do cooking/ laundry if needed tho drier only 10 min and multiple cycles needed. Bathroom is specious and sink is outside so if friend stuck in bathroom, sink help out to brush teeth etc. Location of socket near bed is also nice. Location of hotel is close to station so very close reach to main areas by bus

Just one suggestion: facilities for making tea/coffee in the room would be appreciated.

Nice hotel close to the station. Rooms in the norm for Japanese standards. A bit smallish but clean, quiet and cosy. The plus of the hotel are the common spaces: a spacious common kitchen with comfortable tables, a living room, a library that can become a kino in the evening. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

The place is near to the train station wich makes easier to reach to many places

The vibe and atmosphere were very cozy.

It was perfect.

The staff were fantastic! As a solo traveller, it was great to have an open area to chill in after a day of exploring the city. Whether that be in the kitchen on the basement level or the lounge on level 1. The movie night is a great idea and the library was beautiful in itself. Sadly, my language skills are not up to scratch to read most of the literature.

The room was little bit smelly, I couldn’t see the view outside from my window, which was kinda annoying and pity.

The staff was friendly, and iced water was offered in the front desk.

The rooms are really compact. No daylight in the room which did not make it easy to overcome the jet lag

Perfect location near the Kyoto central station. Friendly personnel. There is a library and movie shows in the evening. You can get drinking water in the common kitchen which we found very helpful.

Basically no. Probably there were certain periods like in the afternoon there was no hot water for showering. But probably that’s common for Japan.

Great location, close to train station. The style is modern, and staff’s English was quite fluent, good for people from Western countries especially first time. (And I do notice a high proportion of Westerners.) Kitchen is self service, good for bringing food from outside. Laundry is equipped with 4 washers and driers, it was almost essential to have it to travel light, especially in the summer. We had a bunk bed the room was small but it’s enough for smaller size individuals and the price matched it. As everywhere else in Japan the toilet comes with the bidet and shower is very clean.

A little small.

Looks absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. The library is fantastic to just look at. The room was small but supremely comfortable, with good air-conditioning. Best shower I have experienced in Japan!

The best thing about this property is their kitchen that’s free to use! They have complete amenities and condiments. The rooms are small but that’s typical in big cities in Japan. Its a 10minute walk from the Kyoto Station.

Very kind & helpful Staff, good Location, nice room

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Not only is the location wonderful and quite close to the station, but the hotel itself is so clean and pretty. They offer a nice breakfast for a decent price in the morning, but there are also many cafes nearby to try too! Overall, my time at TUNE STAY KYOTO felt very comfortable and peaceful.

Great location, 8 minutes walk from JR Kyoto train station, subway and main bus station. Good wifi, common kitchen and laundry facilities. Clean and neat rooms. Ours was a bunk bed with good size bed space, private shower and toilet. Family Mart convenience store a few minutes walk away and many places to eat. Helpful staff. They let you store luggage for the day. What's not to like!

Stayed in August 2025

It’s all clean and new! Very nice room. The hotel is near the main station and there’s everything you need nearby, like restaurants and coffee shops, convenience stores and many other stores. And there’s also bus stops nearby, so it’s really easy to access the main points of the city.

The photos don’t do this place justice. Was located down a beautiful alleyway that lead to an amazing staffed reception. They had a cinema which played short films every night and had their own in house ginery.

A bit of distance from train station

We loved the Hostel vibe and all that goes with it, the sustainable initiatives were awesome.

So close to the train station, the food guide was a plus. We will be back

Great location for what we wanted to do and see in Kyoto. Common areas were great to have, we utilized the kitchen area and laundry while staying.
