Kyoto Tokyu Hotel Kyoto Reviews from The Last Year
Good hotel overall; room for a few improvements!
We had a nice big room (especially by Japanese standards), a good bed, and high-quality amenities. The breakfast buffet was very good, but pity they had no cappuccino and it would have been nice to have more fruit selection. Excellent water pressure for shower. The atrium at the lobby area was nice, but kind of weird to go downstairs to reception. Location is not great (nothing much around the hotel), but their shuttle service to the Kyoto Station is very helpful.
The worst breakfast organization I have ever experienced
The hotel itself is OK but the breakfast service is more than awful. There are people waiting at the entrance, through the lobby to the elevators and then people are taken to their tables one by one. The corridors are so narrow that you can hardly pass each other. Almost half an hour has passed before you can drink your first cup of tea. So disgusting to say the least.
Most Inhospitable Hospitality Experience - Truly Pathetic Combo of Pretense Friendliness and Utter Uselessness
Pros: Friendly staff Pleasant interior Good in-room amenities (except bedding) Useful hotel shuttle Cons: 1. Major language barriers every step of the way, even concierge and reception. This is a 4-star premiere hotel in Japan's second largest tourist destination. Yet, virtually no English is spoken by staff, including "Upper Management". Special shout out to Mr. Yamamoto, a so-called general manager, who needed a translator to understand our concerns. Wouldn't English be the FIRST pre-requisite to run an international hotel? Having visited >40 countries, I can't think of one hotel where the bar is so low. Meritocracy and putting best talent in leadership role? Not here. 2. Horrendous bedding. Prison-grade extra firm mattresses + absurdly flat and useless pillows. Noting could be done about the mattresses (which created pressure points almost instantly), but pillows! We requested softer/cushier pillows thrice! We were told the hotel ran out of because it's a high season?! I couldn't believe my ears. 3. The Gym is located in a separate building and is hard to find. I had the misfortune of "asking for directions" from one of their staff. Again no English but the lady pointed me in gym's direction and managed to eek out "need key". I nodded, fully confident she meant my room key. What other key could she possibly mean? I learned soon enough after my room key wouldn't let me in. Back at the Reception I was told that I need to fill a PAPER FORM to receive a gym key, which incidentally looked like an oversized conference badge and wouldn't even fit in a pocket. That form, aside from being a bureaucratic time-waster, asked me to certify that I didn't drink any alcohol before gym use. I told the front desk to print 100 copies of their form, make a tight roll and sit on it. Incidentally, the "gym" has space for <=3 people and exactly 7 pieces of equipment, of which 2 are treadmills. A selection clearly made by someone who's a fitness theorist, not a practitioner. 4. Hotel restaurants serve very mediocre food at x3 price of local restaurants. Worse, their room service ends at 10PM. My family happened to be checking in at 11PM so no food. Bad as this is, no one bothered with a list of late dining options for late arriving guest. Staff is not trained not only in English, but in ANY manner of problem solving. If it weren't for another guest who happened to be walking by and suggested that we try UberEats, all 4 of us would have gone to bed starving. 5. Low quality breakfast, using the cheapest ingredients. I've seen better fare for sale at gas stations. Their kitchen has a flat stove intended for making omelets and fresh breakfast. They even had staff milling around and doing unrelated chores. However, we were told the made-to-order station hasn't yet reopened due to COVID. Really? You clowns are still using COVID as an excuse for laziness? That is pathetic. Guest Tip: steer clear of their "smoked salmon", unless you don't mind eating smelly clay. 6. Literally fed up with hotel food, we decided to book a table at a local restaurant. Again zero help from their concierge. We were asked to make our choice and "they would be happy to make a reservation for us". That's hot how concierge works, but were quite exasperated by that point so we went upstairs and did our own Google search!!! When we called the front desk, we were told we'd have to come dow to complete another PAPER FORM where among other things, we'd have to agree to a ~$100 room charge in case of a no show. Turns out restaurants don't require a deposit. This is done to "protect hotel's reputation"!!!! This property is so concerned about its reputation with restaurants that it's fully oblivious about losing face with its guests? This is bewildering. OK, Kyoto Tokyu Hotel, now is your turn to try and white-wash the situation, as you have done in previous reviews. Let me help you get started. Feel free to copy/paste. "Dear ... thank you for taking the time ... sincerely appreciate your feedback ... will help to improve the quality .... regret to learn that .... wasn't the experience you expected .... aspire to provide the highest levels of service .... exceed your expectations in the future .... thank you very, very, very, much. P.S. Mr. Yamamoto, your offer to comp our breakfast for ONE day is too generous (especially considering our breakfast was included in room rate). Keep the change. Consider it my donation toward some Hospitality management + English courses for you. I assure you these would do far more to help you save face than your reservation deposit tactics.
A lovely hotel, super breakfasts, and make sure you visit Nara
Very nice clean hotel. Super dining room, with an excellent and varied breakfast buffet. Room was a good size with very comfortable beds. There is a free shuttle service which runs regularly to and from the station, we found this very convenient and it only took about 10 minutes. An excelent service. From a personal point of view I would have chosen a hotel nearer the centre to allow us to walk about in the evening and chose restaurants.
Quiet, clean hotel but not a lot nearby
Pros: Taxi stand at hotel entrance Air purifier in the room, but the buttons are in Japanese. Not sure if there’re English instructions available. 2 hotel restaurants to choose from for breakfast: buffet restaurant with Japanese and western fares and a traditional Japanese sit down restaurant Laundromat within a 10 minute walk Concierge available There’s a temple next to the hotel Cons: Not a lot of restaurants nearby. There is a hotel shuttle that can take you to Kyoto station where there are many eateries. There are some restaurants within walking distance but I think one would have to walk on a pedestrian overpass in order to get to most of them. There is a restaurant and a convenience store around the corner, probably around a 10 minute walk. (Could be less, but it was cold and windy when I did the walk so it seemed longer.)
DESIGN
The Hotel has a very beautiful design with waterfalls and many amenities in the room. The good shower and smart mirror and toilet are very useful. The breakfast is a bit disorganized and the service is not very good either. The bathroom appears to be made from a container
Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza - Shinkyogokudori
Our stay in Hotel Tokyo Stay Sakaiza Shijo Kawaramachi was the most beautiful experience in Japan. This hotel is centrally located with all amenities and all shopping, restaurants, Train sSation & Bus Stations, within couple of minutes walk. Loved the room, good pillows, excellent bathroom, a small refrigerator & a microwave in the room - even has a washing machine! Would highly recommend this hotel to all my friends & family when visiting Kyoto!
Fulfill Expectations
Kyoto Tokyu Hotel is located close to Kyoto Station. There is a free hotel shuttle that goes back and forth between there and hotel that runs around every half hours. Very convenience because we used public transportation to do our own sightseeing. Public transportation ends back at Kyoto Station. Our room was very nice. Staff service was exemplary. Japanese breakfast buffet was excellent. A small number of western food choices.
Great stay
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel in Kyoto. We had a room for three people and it was spacious. The beds and the pillows were so comfortable. The staff was amazing and very helpful. It's about 20 mins walk from Kyoto station but they have a shuttle bus that runs back and forth event half an hour. Just be mindful of that if you want to be closer to the station. The breakfast was delicious with many options. All in all it was a great stay.
Comfortable hotel with good location
Very comfortable and well located hotel. It has a bus to the station with established schedules. In front, there is a very convenient and varied restaurant, since we liked the ones at the hotel. Large and comfortable rooms, although the pillows need a change. Two blocks away there is a laundromat that operates 24 hours a day and is very convenient. Good breakfasts, although I would add a little more variety for Western people. Very friendly people.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
