Marufukuro

The hotel experience is great! Marufukuro is not only located in the center of Kyoto, which is full of ancient charm, but its unique architectural history adds a bit of charm - Marufukuro, which was once the headquarters of Nintendo, is full of historical and cultural heritage. The design of the hotel not only retains the traditional charm, but also incorporates modern comfort and convenience, making people feel like traveling through time, feeling the precipitation of history, and enjoying the warmth and intimacy of high-end services. The rooms are spacious and bright, with all the facilities, and every detail reveals the hotel's pursuit of quality life. Whether it is comfortable bedding, warm lighting or exquisite decoration, it makes people feel extremely relaxed and at ease. It is particularly worth mentioning that the hotel staff is warm and thoughtful, and their service attitude makes people feel noble and caring, and every greeting makes people feel warm. In addition, the hotel is in a prime location, within walking distance of major attractions in Kyoto, which is convenient for exploring the city and enjoying a quiet private space. Whether it is a short stay or a long leisure vacation, Marufukuro is an excellent choice, and it will definitely leave unforgettable memories for every visitor.

As I had previously found out, the location, cleanliness, and facilities were good, but I was disappointed that there were some aspects of the service that I had expected (udon and ochazuke provided in the evening, and there was no staff serving whiskey at the bar).

As a loyal user of Nintendo, I originally just came to check in at the old site of Nintendo, but the check-in experience was far beyond my expectations. I plan to stay here for a few days next time I come to Kyoto. Although it is an old building, the hardware facilities are very good. The architectural style is very retro and retains the feeling of the past. The display of Hanafuda, the library upstairs, Nintendo-related books and some old game consoles brought me back to the good memories of the past. The room area is very spacious for Japan. What is surprising is that the check-in treatment is very generous, which is much more generous than the Japanese hotels of the same price I have stayed in. Now many other hotels in Japan that are not low in price are very stingy, and drinking water is limited or even not provided at all in the name of environmental protection. But Marufukuro not only provides a free 24-hour lounge with various drinks, hotel snacks and fruits, but also a bar that runs until late at night. The small refrigerator in the room is also filled with various drinks and alcohol, potato chips, snacks, and can be added if not enough. This can be regarded as a generous in the hotel industry in Japan. Whether it is food and beverages or various supplies, it can be seen that many products of century-old brands have been specially selected. The tea bags and Japanese confectionery are from time-honored brands, the coffee cups are from Noritake, and the cold drink cups are pure copper cups with Shinko motifs. Even the texture of the toilet paper is better than some other hotels of the same price I have stayed in. All of these reflect the hotel's care and attention to detail. The check-out time of 12 o'clock is rare in Japan, so you can sleep in. The dinner is natural and changes according to the season. It doesn't look like a large amount, but it's quite filling after the whole process. The breakfast buffet is the same as that provided by the lounge. There are 5 or 6 kinds of curry rice, toast, yogurt cups, etc. in the ordering part. The French toast tastes great. The staff are proactive and friendly. There are staff who use Japanese, English and Chinese, and they give some good suggestions and help. The hotel is located next to the Kamogawa River, but it is relatively quiet. Because it is not in the business district, you will need to walk a little if you want to go out for dinner. It is a few hundred meters away from the subway station and has convenient transportation.
