PRICE:
Frommer's Recommended

There's no problem finding this hotel, located under Kyoto Tower and in business for more than 40 years. It doesn't have a lot to offer, other than convenient access and reasonable prices. Check-in is on the ground floor, and though there's a functional lobby on the eighth floor, it's doubtful you'll want to spend a lot of time here. Guest rooms are long and narrow, with shoji screens, but only the higher-priced rooms afford a view of the station (the rest face other buildings). Even cheaper prices are available at the nearby Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex, Shinmachi Dori, Shichijo-sagaru (tel. 075/343-3111), and at the Kyoto Dai-Ni Tower Hotel, Higashinotoin Dori, Shichijo-sagaru (tel. 075/361-3261), with twins starting at ¥14,000 ($117/£58). Both are within a 4-minute walk from the station.
