KABIN Machi

The staff was great* when I arrived before my time and let me use the luggage storage. There are 3 hotel with the same brand in the same street, and each provides something different but you can use them - ie I used the laundry from another KABIN. The location is great, super convenient to go to the market street and even to Gion if you feel like it. The room is spacious and comfortable.

Staying at KABIN Machi was a great move. It is located in the heart of the Kyoto/Gion district which is where we wanted to be. This allowed us to travel to other destinations within the surrounding prefectures as we were also very close to the local train system. Kyoto is a mecca for tourist spots and we took advantage of this by hiring a local guide to help us around on one of our 'tourist' days. We have used Javier previously and again he didn't let us down. Kyoto is a fun and exciting palace to visit - 4 days was just enough time.

Kabin Machi was our best accommodation in whole Japan (we stayed in 6 different hotels with the similar ratings, but this one is not comparable at all!). The hotel looks new, very stylish and spotless clean.The shower was finally normal, not the small one where you can barely turn. Everything was exactly same as on pictures. In addition, we really enjoyed centrally located neighborhood with 2min walk to good bakery, coffee places and great Italian style pizza place (when we craved some dough 😅). Therefore we highly recommend this property!

Great staff, super helpful. The hotel is small and tucked away on a quiet street but do not let that fool you - the rooms provide ample space and everything is really well kept. The bed was comfortable, the shower was spacious and luxurious. We were able to get luggage shipped to and from their sister hotel around the corner, KABIN Taka. We loved the location as we were a quick 5 minute walk to Nishiki Market and the high street. The closest station is also not too far away.

Great location and good value. Hotel is a 2 minute walk to a main shopping area. The supermarket directly across the street is very handy. “Sister” hotel, Kabin Taka is 5 minutes down the street. Kabin Taka has a gym and laundry facilities which were available use. Kabin Taka presents nicer (although I did not view the rooms here).
