Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Anteroom Kyoto is generally appreciated for its artsy, modern design and relatively spacious rooms, a pleasant surprise for Japan. Guests often highlight the convenient location, with Kyoto station within walking distance or a short subway ride, making it easy to reach various attractions. The breakfast buffet is a hit, especially the protein options and daily sandwiches, although some found the selection geared towards Japanese cuisine, and the rooms might show some signs of wear, according to a few guests. The option to pick up free bath salts is a much-loved perk enhancing the bathing experience.

The breakfast was good. It included a daily sandwich and a selection of vegetables, soup, pickles, salad, juices, teas, coffee, pastries, breads, granola, yogurt, homemade jams, and fruit smoothies. All you can eat, I guess.
The temperature control in the room was terrible. I was either freezing or sweating. The bathroom was always cold regardless of the heat. There was a random slope in my room. This was a bit dangerous if I didn't look ahead.
