Super easy and convenient
Easy check in through their Kabin App which was fabulous and super convenient - also checked out through the app also.
Walking distance to Main Street with restaurants, shopping and transport. Easy to get to everything and nice sized rooms compared to other hotels we stayed at.

Very clean hotel and very clean rooms. Beds were a bit hard unfortunately. Super close to shopping and restaurants including Nishiki Market (about 7 min walk). Very quiet street and felt very safe. Staff was very helpful!! Would recommend this hotel!

Do not hesitate to book this hotel. It is modern clean and perfectly located in the middle of everything. Nikishi market, the local JR train and slew of restaurants are a 5-7 walk away.

We had a great stay here. It was a self service type experience but it all was simple and worked great for us. The bed was comfortable. It was very close to the main shopping areas in Kyoto with just a short walk and there were many great shops and restaurants down the side streets in the neighborhood as well. There was a great local grocery store just across the street too. The staff were helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel
Fantastic hotel, very clean and modern! Location is perfect, close to transit, walking distance to everything, but on a quiet street off the main busy street. There’s a grocery store directly across, no extras in this building, but you’re able to use them in their other locations at Taka and Kyoto just a short walk away. Room is tiny, but basic Japan standards. Bed is a little hard, and the pillows are not comfortable but that’s a personal preference.

Really friendly staff, comfortable room with upgraded amenities. A bit of a walk from public transportation but we didn't mind. Right across the street from a grocery store. This area of town has a lot of hidden gems in terms of food and exquisite cocktail bars. Since it's away from the main popular area, you really get the quiet, historic Kyoto feel at this location. Additionally, we were able to use the resources at other Kabin locations within a block from this property. Will stay here again.

Hotel was great. We had trouble getting the app up and running but once we got it working, everything went well. There was a concern with the window sweating which accumulated water on the ledge. That aside, we enjoyed our stay

The Kabin Machi property was a simpler version of their other Kyoto locations but you are allowed to use all other nearby hotel amenities. So we were able to work out at the Kabin Taka gym as well as do our laundry. The network of hotels is a great idea- it allowed us to stay at the hotel nearest to the shopping area we liked but still have all the features to use when needed of the other buildings. I wish Kabin were all over the world because this is now my favorite hotel.
