    The windows were sealed shut and we were told not to open them but we like fresh air and windows open as we sleep.

    Hotel is located in an industrial area. Very compact small hotel. We stayed only one night, so this was manageable.

    Hale Tambaguchi is very close to Tambaguchi station. We could store our luggage at the hotel before check in time. Very friendly staff. Most amenities are found at the reception area.

    This is not a judgement of the hotel or even the country, but I am a relatively tall individual and while the ceilings were a great height, the room itself is just a touch small for me to comfortably move around in (esp the shower/bathroom).

    Super central location, felt safe and out of the way, but was literally around the corner from anything we could need. I loved the new door locks that require a QR code to open; super easy to use and completely eliminated the typical fumble for the room key thing you always do when returning to the room. This place was modern, clean, comfortable, and well-staffed. Our flight ended up arriving us into Kyoto very late (think after midnight), but I was able to stay in communication with them the whole time we were traveling and they made sure someone was there to greet us when we finally arrived. She didn't speak much English but she was so sweet and kind and made us feel welcome after a very long journey.

    Bathroom was very small, especially the showers.

    The rooms were compact but really nice quality with comfortable beds and everything we needed for our stay. The hotel was quiet/serene and everyone rested well after long days of traveling. Very close to the train station and cozy bars/restaurants around the corner. Staff were not at the front desk 24/7 but they were responsive and helpful when we needed to contact them.

    above-average except for some sudden problems.

    First, the information security was bad that I got some spam messages before the travel. Furthermore, at the second night, the QR code lock somehow changed so that we could not get into the room, and there were no people at the counter. The problem was solved rapidly that they responded to my e-mail and provided a new QR code that could work.

    The room is perfect, and the location is near to a train station and approachable from many sightseeing points.

    The staff was super helpful. The check-in is done online, so check the message from the hotel. It seems the self check in is a standard thing in Japan. The bed was super comfortable and big. The room had all possible amenities. Thank you!

    Terrible industrial location (almost a shanty town). Very dark streets. No natural lighting. Room so small you need to jump into bed, no side access. Nobody made the bed. Paid almost 200 usd, advertised for 100 usd in Booking same day. Booking did not honor price match guarantee

    Going out the front door , there was a lock release on a different wall. It took a while to figure out.

    Very clean modern building. The unit was compact but well-designed. There was a two-person couch, a mini fridge and hit water pot.

    The building seemed very new/renovated, the wifi allowed you to connect to the TV and the location was super close to the Tambaguchi train stop. The facility was very clean and the staff very friendly. I also enjoyed the contact less aspect of it all.
