Greeted by books on the walls when I first enter the lobby. Check in was easy & smooth. The lobby is very loungey with nice furniture. The interior design is also beautiful. When you enter your room, you’re greeted with books on the wall. I enjoyed flipping through even though I don’t understand Japanese. Seeing the pictures & illustrations is fun. Standard japanese high quality bathroom. Nearby konbinis too! Within walkable ‘straight’ path distance to Kyoto Station.

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.

The place is new and modern, and the room was very clean and comfortable, almost big by Japanese standards. The location is in walking distance of the central station. However, the internet did not work the entire 3 days I was there. It was so bad I couldn't even send out emails. I reported it to the staff, and she said she will check later, but no improvement. I tried on two phones and my laptop, but nothing (so it definitely wasn't my devices). Having such terrible (pretty much non-existent) internet in Japan in 2026 is just unacceptable. Also, the staff hardly spoke any English and wasn't exactly friendly. When I left my key card to check-out I said goodbye, but the lady didn't even look up from the reception and didn't reply anything. I most certainly would not stay here again, which is a shame because the rooms are great.

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.

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).

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service
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.

本をテーマにしたユニークなホテル。ゆっくり滞在して本に埋もれることができると良かったのですがビジネス利用だとそうもいかず残念。 施設は清潔に整えられていて良かったのですが、デスクまわりに電源がなくてPCで作業をするには少々不便でした。 到着が遅いとフロントに人がいなくてセルフチェックインなのですが、こちらもちょっとわかりづらくてウロウロしてしまいました。。。 それ以外は快適な滞在ができるホテルだと思います。
