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.

Booked this place for two nights in mid February 2025. The nearest subway station is Karusama Oike station, which is about another 500m walk to the hotel. The location is calm and quiet, reachable within walking distance to most places, but also secluded from tourists places and traffic. It's about 800m walk to Nishiki Market. Other places such as Nijo Caste, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kamo river is about >1km. It's doable if you want to walk, but you're eventually going to use the transit buses anyway to get around in Kyoto. I chose this place because it was near the Kamo river, I jogged along the river, towards the Kyoto Imperial Place, then to Nijo castle and back to the hotel. In terms of facilities, the room is relatively larger than most hotel rooms in Japan for the price range. I've booked for one person, they gave me two beds. They also provided yakutas to be worn as pajamas. I'll definitely book this place again the next time I'm coming to Kyoto.

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 best part of this place is the size of the room for the price I paid for, And the location of the hotel is around 15min walk from a metro station and a bus stop. Around 5-10min walk from a 7-eleven ,or familymart The room is clean and spacious, The staff was extremely nice. Nothing to complain for.

Our stay at Carta Hotel Kyoto Bettei was exceptional. The hotel exuded a distinct charm, making our experience truly memorable. Our spacious twin room boasted a generous layout with an enchanting view of the bustling street below. The beds were a highlight of our stay, offering unparalleled comfort with their plush mattresses and pillows. Convenience was at the forefront of our experience, with the hotel's proximity to transportation hubs. A mere 5-7 minute walk to the metro and a 2-minute stroll to the bus station made exploring the city a breeze. The central location also allowed easy access to the main attractions, enhancing our overall itinerary. The staff at Carta Hotel Kyoto Bettei were incredibly hospitable, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The complimentary coffee machine was a delightful perk, and the laundry facilities, complete with free detergent, were a lifesaver. For a nominal fee of only 500 yen, we had access to both the washing machine and dryer, adding convenience to our stay. Furthermore, the vicinity of numerous 7-Eleven and Family Mart stores provided added convenience for any necessities or snacks we required. Having stayed in hotels across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, we can confidently say that Carta Hotel surpassed our expectations and stands out as the pinnacle of hospitality.
