Loved this hotel!
Absolutely loved this hotel! It’s so well furnished and worth every single penny! They were very kind, helpful, and friendly!! I loved the amenities of this hotel, it was designed wonderfully, and they offered so many little details to your stay. Breakfast, a bar location, washing/drying facilities, bath salts, a smoking room, a microwave, and bikes to rent for free!

Better than I anticipated
Anteroom is a bit away from it all - which can be appealing after the hussle and bussle of being a tourist! But you do need to factor in more time to get anywhere.
The building is not new, and may feel a bit off-putting when you fist walk in, but the designers have done a great job creating very comfortable and cleverly designed rooms. The communal spaces are both funky and practical
I stayed in a single room and was happy with it- see photos. I had a window I could open. Unfortunately the glass in the window is frosted, so when the window is closed - you can't see out of it.
I recommend asking for a high/top floor - to look out over the rooftops to the mountains.
The buffet breakfast was pretty good - except for the pastries which I found bland, but the rest of the food was both flavourful and healthy.
Would I stay here again? Quite possibly - if the rate was reasonable and I was staying for a few days and wanted some "chill time" while walking to trains. Otherwise I would stay closer to the Nishiki market area.

Retro-designed hotel with tiny rooms
This hotel is located in a residential neighborhood, South of the Kyoto Station. It's a bit far from the "action" around Kyoto Station and many places to see which are North of the station
The property is retro-designed. However,
- The room is very, very small.
- They are still using a physical key. This is impractical for today's time.
- You cannot open the window, which has frosted glass.
- The bathroom is elevated, around 10 inches from the rest of the room. This is strange.

Hotel Anteroom was our first stop during our visit to Japan. We only stayed overnight.
The hotel is located about a 15 mins walk from Kyoto Station, which we managed well with our large suitcases.
We were greeted by a lovely staff member when we arrived. She was quick and efficient checking us in, and were allowed to our room a little early. There was a small Kyoto city accommodation tax to pay.
We stayed in the south wing garden room. It's a spacious room with the large twin beds and small seating area. It has a beautiful Aomori hiba tub, which was amazing to soak in after a long day walking, along with a shower. The room sized window looks out on a pebbled garden that lights up at night.
There is a small store selling small goods and t-shirts, a smoking room, vending machine and ice machine on the first floor. We didn't use the bar or restaurant while we stayed.
There is a Lawsons and market located across the street. Also, it is only about a 20 minutes to walk to the Fushimi Inari shrine.

I really liked the artsy vibe of the hotel. Even though I stayed in a “regular” room and not a concept room, the amenities that were included with the price were excellent-pj’s, water, tea, slippers, hairbrush, q-tips, and lovely smelling shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. There is even a bath salt bar where you can create your own scent if you want to relax in the tub. It is a bit of a walk to Kyoto Station, but Jujo Station is closer and I used that bus stop quite often. The buffet breakfast is excellent and I loved being able to have grilled veggies & soup in the mornings. I didn’t include breakfast in my stay and ended up buying it 6 of the 9 days I was there. Lawson’s konbini is right across the street and I made many stops there for drinks and ice cream.

Industrial, artsy hotel
I loved the space and vibe of the hotel. It was clean and in a quiet location. Recommend!
A bit outside the city, though only 2 stops from the train station. Easily connecting with buses and subway to all our destinations. Hotel is artsy and has some perks, like the self mixed bath salts and a rapidly filling bathtub, the self flushing toilets, the deliciously roasted vegetable selection and the outstanding home-made granola. As others have mentioned, the the daily sandwich offerings and soups are meat heavy. The staff is friendly, usually someone speaks some English. The room size was adequate and the sofa allowed for a nice resting place for the larger suitcase.
The smell in the lobby was fresh lemony and started our stay well.

It’s a little bit far comparing to the description from Expedia, but there is a subway station in between hotel and Kyoto Station. Breakfast is marginal and of course , with that price. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, and the design of the hotel is pretty much like Marriott’s Moxy. There is a restaurant just across the street where mainly are locals, but the price is down to the earth (steak, $10 USD), highly recommend.

My Favourite Kyoto Hotel
My favourite Kyoto hotel. A one of a kind find - a lot of thought went into the design of this small hotel, which is intimate, friendly and efficient. Oh yeah, and very good value. And a gallery too. The people at reception are always informed and helpful. Breakfasts are bountiful and healthy and the coffee's good. And the library/bar off the breakfast room is a great place to drink and look at art books. My room was spacious and bright. The garden off my room was the one disappointment - it looked more like a vacant lot than a garden. A bit barren rather than minimalist. But everything else was first-rate.
