Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum Tours

We had an excellent stay at Premium Apart MONday KYOTO GOJO. The room was spacious and clean and had an awesome shower (I looked forward to this after long days of sightseeing!). The fact that we had a washer/dryer in our room was a huge blessing. In the future, we will always try to find an apart hotel that has this convenience as it allows you to do a load of laundry every evening and therefore pack way less clothes! The location of the hotel was walking distance to the Gojo station (Karasuma line) from which we started most of our adventures. Nearby were also a 24hr Fresco supermarket, two drugstores, a small 100 yen store, and several restaurants (including McDonalds). The staff at the Hotel were awesome and extremely helpful. They booked us on a memorable Hotel MONday sponsored trip to the Miyama Winter Lantern Festival that was one of the many highlights or our stay in Kyoto. The manager Koji Ohta was gracious and kind and personally greeted us one morning. Overall we had an excellent stay at the Premium Apart MONday KYOTO GOJO, and will try to stay here again if we ever return to Kyoto.

This hotel was perfect! Cleanliness was unmatched. The front desk staff we encountered all spoke English well and were very kind and helpful. We chose the room with the queen bed and the room itself was quite spacious with a gorgeous view facing Dotonbori. I will note that there are two sets of elevators you’ll have to catch —one from the ground level to the 22nd where the reception is and another to the rooms. We never had to wait long for a lift since I think there were at least 4 elevators but it couldve been a slow season. The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet area and even with the expressway below our room, the nights were quiet. A big bonus was the hotel was not overly heated! In our past visits to other areas in Japan in colder months, the rooms would be uncomfortably hot but that was not the case here. We visited in mid January. Location was great for our needs. It’s literally across the street from the OCAT bus terminal, which was very convenient since our transport to/from airport was through Airport Limo Bus. There’s a Family Mart on the basement level (closed Sundays) but in the same bldg is a full size grocery store, mini natural food shop, cosmetics shop, a huge DCM home goods shop and a CanDo 100Y shop. 10 min walk to Dotonbori, 15 min walk to Koromon Market and 20 min walk to Shinsekai. Namba Stn and Namba Walk is right underneath and it was a 20 min cab ride to Shin Osaka and Osaka Stn. If in Namba, we would stay again!

Staff was amazing! Super helpful! Rooms were nice and clean! Would definitely recommend!!
