Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kyoto Oike

A Mixed Mariot hotel Staff were super friendly and location wise its central Kyoto but cleanliness was average and it makes some odd decisions when it comes to amenities Oddly the service is probably the worst of any mariott ive had and its not the staff but the policies. Bathrobes? Gotta collect from downstairs each time in the name of carbon footprint? But the big tv comes on each time i open the door Water? Nope….gotta go downstairs for it Simple things all need to be collected by hand each day and in the room i kept finding random hairs….must be using a low energy vacuum aswell Only one working elevator or the other is turnt off to save carbon and as a result sometimes you can wait 20 minutes to go downstairs…not joking, me and 5 others took the risk one morning of opening the fire door and taking the outside stairs to get out…can confirm fire doors are not alarmed Yet the staff were super helpful and polite which makes it a mixed bag. I would probably not stay again due to the policies then the staff Location is nice though nejo castle : 10 minute walk west Imperial Castle : 10 minute walk north Golden Pavilion : 20minute bus right outside The harder one is the Fushima Inori you need to go 30 minutes east and 40 minute train south Lastly bath is big and no noise at night

The hotel is in Oike and nearby two major metro lines. The area is very neat and clean. The room is small but very comfortable to accommodate single guest. The staff is very friendly but they insist to wait for check in time. The early check-in has per hour charges which I refused and wait till 3pm.

Located on an active street market, just getting to the hotel is a buzz. Once inside a clean reception with attentive staff ease the surprise. The rooms are slightly larger than your typical city bijou. The included breakfast was nice and varied, continental with a couple of English twists. Cooked eggs offered in many variations added to the mix. Plus points. My room had a lovely city view and the location? The heart of a very active city. I

In general it was a good stay. The service was great. They acted very fast when request was raised. The only thing is a bit far from the Nishiki market.
