Japaning Hotel Briller Kyoto

Location was good.

This is not a hotel. For people that are not particularly good with the net and modernity it is no good at all. My parents would have struggled with entry to the hotel and the fact that you have to get Emails etc to check in. I repeat NOT A HOTEL.

Great budget accommodation in Kyoto. The price for the place (if booked in advance) is really low compared to a mediocre business hotel. The set of things in the overwhelming and important for those who want to get most of the spent money (completed kitchen with all necessary for basic cooking, laundry machine, even free mobile phone/pocket wi-fi). No staff in the hotel but for some, it is a "plus", anyway, I rarely use help from the hotel staff.

To enter the hotel you should get the e-mail with codes to enter the hotel, check-in and to enter the room. I didn't get one so need to call the company phone and they explained it was a "system error". Well for me it was not a problem (with a mobile phone and basic Japanese ability) but I assume this could be the big upset for a traveling foreigner. Be sure you get the e-mail with codes - nobody around to help.

Check in was a nightmare because my phone was flat and you have to have a smart phone to check in!!
