Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was large. No coat hooks which is odd. Dark room, needs more lights especially near the only full length mirror on the toilet door. only bathroom mirror is useable. The TV is also tiny and lacks ability to cast which after a long day walking everywhere you might want to come back and just relax before snoozing. The road noise was horrendous, I'd equate it to having your windows wide open and staying in the middle of a nascar track. Motor bikes revving all night long and could even hear the pedestrian crossings beeping. The staff were friendly and this hotel is like 15mins walk from Kyoto station a d has a 7-11 underneath as well as several nice restaurant 5mins walk. If you are a light sleeper I'd avoid otherwise go for it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The graphic manga images on the website suckered me in. This place is one step above a hostel. Heavily stained rug in our room, pillows that seemed to be filled with hay, the duvet cover not able to close around a stained comforter, the common areas are in need of repair and the drink dispensers are filthy. The best part about the hotel is the location. Walking distance to the river and goon district.

Front desk staff are cold not that willing to help. Beds are not comfortable, you have no access from the sides of beds. Room is very small and dim. Room is not quiet and you can hear traffic throughout night.

The location is great and the design of the hotel is nice too. The beds were thin and the room was a bit too tight for my liking. Low rating for comfort, but the other categories were solid.

Not your traditional hotel which excited us, but overall found our stay uncomfortable - the futon style bed did not have any fitted sheets meaning it moved around at night, if you have any mobility difficulties the bed is difficult to enter/exit. For the cost it was okay.

I stayed at Tavinos Hotel during my solo trip to Kyoto and overall had a great experience. The location is spectacular — well-positioned between key tourist attractions and within walking distance to several must-see spots. There’s also a bus stop literally right outside the hotel that connects you to the main bus lines, which made getting around incredibly easy. The added bonus of a 7/11 right next door was super convenient for snacks and essentials. One of the standout features was the ability to choose your own room — including floor level and whether you preferred a quieter space or one with a view. This is something I’ve never been offered before and really appreciated. The staff were exceptional — consistently kind, patient, and helpful. Some spoke great English, others still put in genuine effort to make sure I was understood and supported. I also loved the quirky and unique style of the hotel; it gives off a social, vibrant vibe, especially on the third floor which feels like a hub for fellow travellers. For those interested in meeting others or being close to the energy of the city, it’s a great fit. That said, I did notice some cleanliness issues during my stay. There were several questionable stains on the carpet in both the hallway and my room (I was on the 5th floor), which made me feel a bit uneasy. Additionally, my bedding had a slightly musty smell to it, as if it hadn’t been freshly washed unfortunately. Despite those cons, I would still recommend.

We could hear every car in the street, everyone who walked by our room and the elevator pinning for our and the floors above and below. While the room was tidy, it was also dusty. The was no tea or coffee in the room and you had to go to the public hangout area if you wanted one.

This hotel was ok. The window glass in my room was dusty and also the overflow in the bathroom sink was black of dirt. Just thinking for what they charge per night, they should do a more thorough cleaning. Also the rooms are quite hot so you may need to run the air conditioning during the day if you pop by from your daily activities.
