I’ll be in Kyoto and Tokyo for 4 days each in July. I originally booked On-Yado NONO Shichijo in Kyoto because of its amenities (hot springs, proximity to Kyoto Station, laundry machines, and affordable ~$100/night price tag) and Dormy Inn Premium Ginza in Tokyo (for same amenities, price, and proximity to Tokyo Station and Ginza). The reviews seemed good until I looked at more of the negative and recent reviews and I think I need to change accommodations (reviews about how sheets smelled like sweat and were covered in hair, terrible customer service, and photos of bugs which may or may not be bed bugs).
Does anyone have recommendations for hotels in Kyoto (preferably close to Kyoto Station) and Tokyo (preferably Ginza with easy train access to Tokyo Station)?
I’d be willing to go up to $200 / night if absolutely necessary but really would like to be closer to $100 / night.
I don’t need the extra amenities (don’t need the hot springs and laundry machines). I don’t need breakfast or a lot of space (solo traveler) or even WiFi. I just need a clean place to sleep at night without fear of bed bugs or lying in sweaty/hairy sheets that is not a capsule hotel.
Currently have Dai Ichi Hotel Tokyo as back up so if anyone has been, I would welcome an honest review.
