Henn na Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi Ekimae

The Hotel really close to Kyoto Station with easy walking distance. When we checked in, we were greeted by dinosaur robot and had to use a self check-in machine. Sounds cool, but unfortunately it didn’t work well for us. I had trouble scanning my passport and had to call the staff. The staff seemed rushed—explained quickly and left, even though I hadn’t finished the process. I ended up calling them three times because the machine kept failing and in the end they had to do a manual check-in. Definitely one of the more tiring check-in experiences I’ve had. I noticed other guests were also struggling with the machine. That said, the room itself was actually quite spacious and clean, especially compared to the usual standard Japanese hotel rooms. One nice bonus: they provided a foot massager in the room—such a treat after a long day of walking around Japan. The bathroom is also separated, which I personally really liked. So overall, the stay was decent, but the check-in experience needs improvement.

The hotel is all self-service only, though there's a staff whom will appear when the error message sounded too many times. The dinosaurs at the recep can be pretty intimidating, as me and the kids were kinda scared off by it. The best thing about the hotel, is the location of it. It is located centrally just opposite Kyoto station, where it is linked to everywhere. Even the tour bus station is just next to the hotel, 2mins walk away to Kyoto Avanti mall. Super convenient.- Breakfast is included as well, simple fare, sufficient for us to tide past breakfastI will definitely consider Henn Na Hotel Kyoto again.

The hotel is very close to Kyoto station. We really enjoyed the experience of the check in/ out process being run by dinosaurs. You can pick the language that suits you, which was helpful for us, in English. Staff were helpful with the receiving of our luggage delivery and looking after our suitcases. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay as the staff are helpful if you do need them face to face. They are just a hotel room call away or can be called from the lobby.

First thing first, Dinosaur !!Only that is already worth your spending. The location is really close to Shinkansen which might suit who wants to travel various cities.The room is clean, quite small but compensated with prime location. The shower and toilet are separated, convenience for couple or family.The hotel makes me love Japanese bathrooms, cozy and effective! But above all, Dinosaurs!!!

Things are automatic here. I was just annoyed at the registration when I typed my name three times before I could retrieve my record. Otherwise things went totally fine and basically I didn’t need to talk to a human being to get in and check out. Room is big enough and the price is of good value.

Nice sized rooms and big beds. The dinosaur robots are very cool to come into get checked in by. Also attached to an Irish bar where you get 10% off if you show room key

Hotel isn't badly placed but that is where the fun ends. Breakfast buffet is more like a bush tukka trial. Barney the dinosaur is just ever so slightly creepy. We booked the Shinkansen themed room for myself and my travel buddy. When we checked in we were only allowed one keyring marketed as a free gift. Not much good if you have to cut it in half. Staff very rude and unhelpful about the situation. I did ask for an extra keyring as the booking was for two people. I don't think this is unreasonable. At £209 for the night that is frankly obscene. The room is nothibg more than a gimmick and a very expensive one at that.

Shall I begin with good parts. Good position! Clean and a good bad.That's all with good parts ! Sorry!We stayed for 8 nights, with breakfast, 200 and some euros for a night with breakfast. Room clean, but all you can see from the windows was a wall. Breakfast! For this price was a shame! Every day mainly same things. Although in the presentation is written they have two restaurants, actualy they have one wich is a pub. So breakfast was served in the pub, with pub chairs and tables. I don't recomand this hotel!

Very clean hotel that is conveniently located right outside the Kyoto station. They gave us free water bottles everyday (depending on the number of people staying in your room). There are laundry rooms and they also offer laundry service that is not cheap but it is reasonably priced.
