Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Anteroom Kyoto from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Anteroom Kyoto is praised for its unique and artsy atmosphere, with a lobby that feels like a pseudo gallery, and some find the hotel's design to be a bit retro. The rooms are often considered spacious compared to other Japanese hotels, and the breakfast receives high marks, especially the creative daily sandwich options, and the grilled vegetables and soup. While the location might require some walking to main attractions, amenities like the on-site laundry and bath salt bar add to the convenience and enjoyment.

Acceptable stay with cleanliness issues

poor cleanness dusty room
The staff was super nice and helpful, I felt welcomed .
I didn't like the overall cleanness. The room needed more attention. There was a lot of dust and it was obvious that it wasn't cleaned properly. I alerted the front desk, but even after they said they would clean it again, it was still not clean.

Unique Art Hotel Experience!

art exhibition fresh towel bath salt bath bomb bar
I found the art exhibition by the lobby amazing. The hotel provided fresh towels and bottled water daily, even with a do not disturb sign. They have bath salt and soaking fragrances available. The hotel offers a build-your-own bath bomb bar. This was such a fun bonus!
The walk to the central station was a bit of a distance at about 1 km
