I had an outstanding experience at Sauna and Capsule Hotel Rumor Plaza. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The hotel is immaculately clean, thoughtfully organized, and modern in both design and amenities. Every detail, from the check-in process to the well-maintained common areas, reflects care and professionalism. The capsules themselves were surprisingly comfortable, offering both privacy and a cozy atmosphere. I was impressed with how quiet and restful the space felt despite being in the heart of the city. The real highlight, though, was the 24-hour sauna—absolutely fantastic. It was clean, relaxing, and exactly what I needed after a long day. The ability to use the sauna any time, day or night, made the experience feel incredibly luxurious. Another great perk? The free breakfast, which was well worth it. It was fresh, satisfying, and a perfect way to start the day. Overall, Rumor Plaza exceeded all my expectations. Whether you’re looking for a unique, relaxing stay or just a reliable, comfortable place to rest, I would highly recommend this hotel. I would absolutely stay here again—it’s a true hidden gem.

There was no place for luggage near the bed so I had to go out again and again to take whatever I wanted since the place I had to leave my luggage was in front of the reception. Some breakfast choices was a bit weird.

Staff fluent in English Super clean Very quiet In the heart of Kyoto Spa and Sauna

Location is right where you want to be. On the main street, near public transport, close to all the Kyoto tourist destinations. Yet it's quiet inside. The staff was very polite and nice. The sauna was really big. Included breakfast was awesome. Only issue I had was the elevator. It's wonky. You have to go up and then take the stairs down but this is just a minor point.

Excellent location in central Kyoto, walking distance from Kyoto Kwaramachi station, potoncho, etc. Very traditional Japanese capsule, so sex-segregated with attached onsen (full nudity). Great experience if you haven't had before

Nothing

Right in the middle of Gion district, near every attractions. The spa/sauna facilities are great, well-maintained, staff are also very friendly and helpful. I was lucky to book the place early so I got a bit time to enjoy all the facilities this place can offer. The breakfast here is also very yummy.

It wasn't like that

I was curious to see what my stay would be like. Everything was very good from start to finish. The staff, their kindness and helpfulness, the cleanliness were above all. I can only recommend it to everyone.

They are super accomodating. Even I know I am kinda handful since Its my first alone. A lot of question. But they never show a hint of irritation and they are super nice. Place is absolutely good. Will be coming back for sure ❤️❤️

Everything

Lots of rules involved in entering and exiting, adnd needing to change into pajammass prior (which can be scratchy) when visiting other parts of the hotel. Didnt like the fact that there is only 1 lift working, and had to go to 6th floor before going to lounge etc

Good amenities, liked the spa and hotel breakfast. Very proaactive and attentive staff. Stored luggage which I sent via Yamato baggage courier for 2 days prior arrival, making the arrival experience even better. Great selection and very traditional breakfast.

Not having more space for luggage in the shared room itself.

Amazing value. The breakfast was so varied and very filling. Besides the onsen facilities were top class. Daily change of pyjamas and loads of free toiletries. Really enjoyed my stay there.

It would be great to have a washing and drying machine at the hotel. Still, you can use the coin laundry about 600 m away from the hotel. That is not a deal-breaker, but good to know beforehand. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

I enjoyed my stay at Sauna & Capsule Hotel Rumor Plaza. The hotel location is great. All the basic amenities have been provided. The individual capsule, public shower (adjacent to the locker room) and locker room itself are all good. The breakfast and public bath (pools and sauna) were just excellent! Great choice for travelers who want to spare some budget and have a place to stay in the centre of Kyoto!

Rules are fairly simple when you’ve learned them. When you come in put shoes in locker and give them shoe key + paper (will get after check-in) for locker key. When you leave exchange locker key for shoe key + paper. Wear pajamas if going to other floors. Wear the brown slippers only in the elevator areas, on 6F you’ll place them in a shelf and clip them with a number. Normal bath/onsen rules. The only rule I’d take away is the interacting with front desk every time you want to leave. Exchanging the shoe key for locker key seems like a waste of time and effort. Normal capsule hotel issues (loud sleepers, capsules get a little stuffy) I didn’t have a top bunk but they looked hard to get into/out of. Only other complaint is the steps in the bath area are VERY slippery.

Very clean. Staff was very nice. Plenty of pools and saunas. Free water every day. Breakfast was good. Fantastic location.

Superb place, onsen inside with saunas and roof top pool, relax zone, breakfasts... ok some rules pending, and man only but we enjoy it. Friendly atmosphere and not so much tourists.

بهترین هاستل که من در سفر ژاپن تجربه کردم، اسپا، سونا و جکوزی و امکانات رفاهی خیلی خوبی داشت همچنین کارمندان مودب و مهربان

Bigger lockers or better suitcase storage area would be good rather than having to leave your suitcase in the lobby the whole time. Also, can be a little noisy. If your “neighbours” (pretty much anyone in your pod area) make any noise you’ll hear it (eg snoring, alarms, using zippers whilst packing etc) but they’re mostly Japanese guests so generally very respectful.

Great baths, great location, very good breakfast (Japanese style only-though the coffee was good!) and comfortable little pods.

It was perfect. truly perfect.

Oh WOW! was an incredible capsule hotel...! i was blown away! the Onsen had a few pools, different temperatures, a dry sauna that was piping hot, and optional massage options. the breakfast had MANY Japanese foods to try and experience, buffet style. it was fantastic! Definitely a bang for your buck! OH! and they allowed me to drop off my bag before checking in to my room so i could start adventuring right away. these guys were amazing!

Keeping my shoes in a locker where I had t exchange the key with reception. That was the only annoying part.

Everything! This place is amazing for solo business and leisure male travelers. Great value! Full breakfast and drinks, the sauna/jacuzzi/mens club experience is phenomenal. I wish I didn’t want to do so much tourism in Kyoto because this place felt like a resort. Very relaxed time there! You gotta check it out! NO TATTOOS consider yourself warned. Embrace the experience!

Short overnight stay. Good sauna and bath house. Capsule was okay size. Lockers are small. Had to leave my carry on roller luggage at the desk storage area.
