SlowTime Hotel Kyoto - Vacation STAY 12709v

We checked in at 6 pm and left at 6 am the next morning, as soon as we could. The place was deeply disappointing and had no character. Dark wallpaper and carpets, plus a stuffy smell, made the room feel gloomy. It was tiny and cramped, and the bed was the worst part. I could feel the springs and barely slept. My skin started itching as soon as it touched the blanket. The room also smelled bad and seemed poorly cleaned. It wasn’t soundproof either, so footsteps and voices kept us awake all night. The location was quiet, since it’s in a residential area, and the reception staff were nice enough and spoke English. But it was far from the bus stops and train station. When we came out of the lift on the second floor, there was a cigarette smell, which was strange for a non-smoking facility, and uncovered boxes and clutter were dumped around. The interior design was poor.
