SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

10/10 Excellent
"We would give this hotel 10 stars if we could. Our six-night stay was a dream. We chose a garden twin room, which was heavenly. Showering and waking to a beautiful private garden was amazing, and we really enjoyed the seating area for much-needed downtime between our exploration adventures. Our room was close to the laundry facilities, ice and water machines, vending machines with inexpensive cocktails, beer, soft drinks and ice cream cones. Also the public bath, which we did not use. But we had no noise from any of these nearby amenities. There are three combo washer/dryer units, and we used them twice. There is an app on the TV that shows you how many minutes remain on the current wash/dry cycles, which was super helpful. It allowed us to plan when to get there to put our laundry in, and when it was done. Be sure to have six 100-yen coins for each load. The location is perfect, so close to multiple train stations, great shopping and fabulous little restaurants. (We went twice to two restaurants that were a few minutes away - Chao Chao for gyozen and Isoya for farm to table izakaya and amazing cocktails.) The staff was so lovely and helpful. They arranged transport of our luggage back to Tokyo and quickly remedied an issue we reported to them (one of the beds squeaked). The only negative we can report (and it is minor) is that the elevator down to the basement level smells musty. But once you step out of the elevator, the air is fresh again. No odors in the hall or room."
