Ibis Styles Kyoto Station is a two-pearl located just next to the city's main train station, offering excellent transportation links throughout the city. The 215 guest rooms are compact but comfortable with a chic, subdued style, and all come equipped with useful amenities such as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. Breakfast is free, but the breakfast room gets easily crowded. For a budget hotel, rates are comparatively high; travelers may want to compare rates and features with the Nearby Kyoto Tower Hotel, an upper-middle-range hotel that offers better value for money, with contemporary guest rooms, an on-site restaurant, and a sky lounge with scenic views.

Scene
Chic and contemporary budget chain hotel
Ibis
Styles Kyoto Station is a gray, boxy, 10-story building with
square windows, located just next to the mammoth Kyoto train station. Its interiors are chic and contemporary, in keeping with the design
concept of the Ibis
budget chain, which offers a boutique-on-a-budget vibe. Located on the third floor, the bright lobby area has
floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, and the minimalist furniture
is made up of contemporary-style sofas in shades of saffron, lime,
teal, and cream. The hotel gets very busy and is
especially popular with couples and families traveling for leisure.
Location
Next to Kyoto's main train station
Ibis
Styles Kyoto Station is on a busy thoroughfare running past the south
side of Kyoto's huge main train station. The station is a hub not
only for regular trains, but also for the high-speed Shinkansen trains and the city's subway network. There's also a taxi stand next
to the station. The station is connected to a large complex with many
shopping and food options, and there are lots of shops and restaurants in the neighboring streets.- Five-minutewalk to Kyoto train and subway station
Rooms
Small, but chic and comfortable, guest rooms with compact bathrooms
Guest rooms at Ibis Styles
Kyoto Station are small and include closet-like Economy Singles, slightly larger Economy Queens, and more spacious Standard Queen, Standard Twin, and Superior Rooms. A maximum of two people can sleep in
a room, and it can be a tight squeeze with luggage. Despite their size, all rooms are simple but chic and comfortable, with soft lighting,
and furnishings done up in trendy colors -- think lime-green bed
runners and gray curtains. Furniture is kept to a minimum, with
nightstands integrated into the headboards and long narrow desks.
Each room also has an easy chair and a small narrow closet space next
to the door. Rooms come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, hairdryers, slippers, toiletries, and free mineral water. The
compact bathrooms are Japanese-style: functional and practical, with molded sinks squeezed in-between half-size shower/tub combos and electric toilets.
Features
Free breakfast, laundry service, and free Wi-Fi
As
a budget hotel, Ibis Styles Kyoto Station saves on features: the only
extra it offers is a free buffet breakfast with Japanese and Western
dishes served in the second-floor breakfast room. The
breakfast service tends to get crowded, and guests may need to wait
for a table. Also on the second floor is the coin-operated laundry room, equipped with two washers and two dryers, and a vending machine
selling soft drinks. Two desktop computers and a printer are
available for guest use in the reception area, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. On-site parking is available
for a fee.
