Carta Hotel Kyoto Bettei

Husband and I were there for ten days. The staff have been courteous and helpful. We stayed in the twin room with bath. We expected the room to be small, since we were in Japan, but the layout is well designed; making the small room as spacious as possible. There is tea and kettle provided in the room, as well as some toiletries and yukata. There is an ac which helped us on the swelteringly hot summer days. The bathroom is designed so as the entire room is a shower, so you can shower separate from the bath. The toilet, as expected in Japan, is separate from the bathroom. This is handy so if someone is having a shower or bath, another can use the toilet without disturbing. There are two sets of curtains on the window one sheer to let light in and allowing privacy, the other to darken the room, perfect for at night. There is coin laundry on the premises, however, the dryer is weak and doesn't dry well. My husband and I just air dried our clothes, appreciating the fact that we could wash clothes at all. On the main floor, there is a microwave/toaster oven and an espresso machine for coffee addicts. It was lovely to be able to soak my aching body in the bath after an eventful day. We were able to completely relax in the room, and the soundproofing was decent. There is a convenience store around the corner, for travelers needing anything from food, drinks, snacks and booze. A short walk away, is a metro station as well as a bus stop.

It was a lovely small hotel tucked away in a quiet side street. The rooms were very spacious and the seperate toilet was great. About a 10 minute walk to the market and train station. We booked two rooms for 3 of us, one king and one tatami and both were great. The tatami room was great for sitting around in.

The neighbourhood was quiet and I love that it’s close to the main city area but also tucked away. Convenience stores, bus stops was a short walk away. The room was a good size for Japan. They were also super accommodating with the check in time, we had train delays so we ended up arriving close to 12am, although the reception was closed, they still organised a way for us to get our keys.

Location was in a quiet area, 4 blocks away from a train station. The room was veryyy spacious and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Was well equipped (air purifier, hair curler machine, hair dryer, kettle, toothpaste, toothbrush, hair comb, ear cleaner, face scrub) and sleeping robes were given for free. Due to corona they don't enter the room so for new towels and garbage can have to be placed out of your door. I loved that they had put plastic cover in the TV controller.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was complete with essentials like toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, hairdryer etc. The bed was large, the hotel smelt nice with a diffuser in the reception area, there was nice music playing, a microwave and coffee machine in the reception area, the hotel and room were warm (as it is winter right now). Overall, great value.
