Under construction weird layout
The room was so spacious for 2 people, but here was construction on 2 of the 4 floors so we weren't able to access the common space nor the public bath, so it was very disappointing. There's also a Chinese restaurant located on the 1st floor, so of u go down with the elevator, you end up inside the restaurant and if u go down too early you'll be locked inside the restaurant.

quick bus ride to get to the hotel (that bus is usually quite busy since it goes to kiyomizu dera) hotel is easy to find. loved the location, it was really close to kiyomizu dera and nice area to go for a nice walk- absolutely loved it! close to a bike rental place. the Twin Bunk Bed was spacious shower area was small felt like it'd be touching the wall or the curtain.

Need to upgrade beds/mattresses.
The Amenity Hotel is an older no frills place. The location is actually pretty great. It's very close to a bus stop so that you can easily get there from the Airport and/or use the bus to get to other touristy locations. Additionally there's area almost directly behind the hotel within walking distance that's filled with shrines (and other tourist stuff), tourist shops, and restaurants. The place is kept clean and they provided clean towels, shampoo, soap, etc, and service was fine. Our one major concern was the beds. We were in a two capsule room with a fold out couch for three people. The capsules have small mattress/mats that feel like craft foam over a hard board. Every 5-10 minutes I'd wake up because my hips or shoulder hurt. The second night I switched to the fold out couch. It was better. However it was so broken on one side that you sank to a hole in the middle and could feel the board or whatever underneath one side...We're not very picky, but the main requirement is the ability to get a good rest after walking all day and unfortunately that was not possible.

Value for money
Stayed there for one night, we booked a traditional Japanese style tatami (which I love!) family room which actually only fits 3 futons, but roomy nonetheless (not to forget there is a lift here for heavy luggage!). Check in was a breeze and the hotel staff was quite friendly. In the room, we can find a 'mini' vanity table with power outlets, a huge dining/living table, a TV, wall hangers (for clothes, of course), a built in 'closet' for beddings and stuff (which we helped ourselves with). The room has an en-suite bathroom as well, with standard Japanese bathroom facilities. The absence of air conditioning was not a problem as it was cold out (there was only a heater), so we cracked a window and let the cold air come in, as we are not used to sleeping in any warm condition. Thoroughly enjoyed the futon. There are quite some restaurants around, we had no trouble looking for food. The only 'not-so' minus to this place is that it is only accessible by bus/cab in a near distance. If there is another chance to visit West Japan, I would be sure to stay here again.

2 Night in the History District in Kyoto
Location of Hotel is very convenience to many main attraction in Kyoto. Hotel could be reach with bus with in 10 minutes (230 yen per way from Kyoto station). You can just get a one day bus pass at 500 yen and get around the kyoto after check in. The room we booked actually can accomodate up to 5 person so is quite huge in the way for just two of us. Reception at first floor, lift available from ground floor only when the chinese restaurance is open 11am - 2.30pm and Evening probably 6pm - 10pm, so have to carry your luggage up to 1st floor if restaurant is close. Hotel and room are clean but the cushion in the room (tatami cushion) was 'worned out' but they still place them in the room.

BARGAIN!
The room i stayed in was a private 2 pod room which is good in size. Plenty of area for your luggage. It was my first time experiencing a pod. I have to say it was quite roomy. The pillows were hard. So i had a stiff neck when i woke up. Besides that the service was nice from the hotel. They change your sheets, linen and towels everyday. They also replenish your toothbrush and shaver too every morning around 10am. I had no charger for my phone and the front desk lend me one for the whole stay. For the price you pay, i think it is a bargain. After all it is just a place to rest so that you can recharge for the next morning to wonder their temples and shrines.

Private rooms with private bathrooms are offered!
We had a private room with private bathroom, 2 capsules, and a futon couch. They also provided a Japanese futon set on top of the futon couch. Service was great! Even on days we did not need the room cleaned we were given a basket of fresh robes, towels, toothbrush sets, and razors. The hotel is a bit older, but is in fair condition and is clean. There are vending machines and laundry facilities. The nearest station is the Kiyomizu-Gojo Station. Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Pagoda, Yasaka Shrine, and Kodaiji are all within walking distance. The walk down to Shijo-Kawarmachi is a bit longer, but still not too far. There's a Circle K about 2 doors down I think.

Kyoto Capsule hotel
I enjoyed my stay, girlfriend and I wanted to stay in a capsul hotel but they are usually only for men, or have the men and women separated so having two capsules in a private room with bathroom was nice. All around I found it to be good value for the cost, nothing fancy about this budget friendly hotel but I would stay there again. The staff were helpful, despite the fact that we don't speak japanese, and let us leave our bags there until check in time.

Located downtown near to the best sights of Kyoto. The bus station is half a minute walk away and take you too almost all the landmarks. Also the hotel is a 15 min bus ride away from Kyoto station. The managers including Mr Murukami are extremely helpful and kind. The capsules itself is nice for a nights rest. Great value for money.

A cheap & basic accomodation.
It is as expected. Relatively cheap and basic. Very clean and tidy. I stayed here for 5 days/nights. I would recommend this place more for a night or two as its not the most comfortable (matress-wise) and it can be a little noisey as you are close to your neighbours (on one night my neighbour was a heavy snorer, which kept me up for a lot of the night). Generally you will find this place is used for one night by Japanese business men who have missed thier last train/bus and need somewhere to sleep. Fresh linen daily, including towel and toothbrush.

Amenity is Awesome
The helpful man who runs the hotel let me use the phone to coordinate tickets in Tokyo and let us use umbrellas, gave us directions and was generally great. Our private capsule room which had two bunk bed style capsules and a private bath with a shower and tub was also equipped with a nice seating area a desk a tv which was nice to not have the only place to sit be on your bed! There was a small onsen on each floor complete with toiletries and hair dryers and looked newly installed. Clean. And the best part, a view of a five-storied pagoda and a white Buddhist statue from the window. Windows open, or A/C always comfortable. We stayed for four days and had great access between the busses and subway system. A deal for sure if there is two or three people. Capsule experience but with privacy!

Will not stay at a "Capsule" hotel again.
Faced several issues such as bath water not hot enough, bathroom too small (shared bathroom, but not quite enough for all the rooms combined), Cubicle or "Capsule" small and cold, cannot control the temperature inside it. The restaurant below could not be used when I tried to have a dinner there as it was "Kashikiri" or fully rented out. Hardly able to connnect to the Wifi and not entirely "Private" capsule. Overall a bad Capsule Hotel experience.

Walking distance to the temples...
Just 1 min walk by taking bus 206. The hotel is on the opposite right of the bus station. The hotel is also kind enough to check-in us earlier instead of the standard check-in time. There is no proper place to store your luggage, so don’t leave anything valuable behind until you get into the room. Recommend to get a private room with attached bath room if you travel in 3 to have more privacy.

A clean place to sleep indoors, nothing more.
A capsule hotel is a large space of "capsules", each about the size of a large refrigerator on its side, with a mat, blanket, and pillow. It wasn't unclean, and the hotel service was fine. It's just a very small space to sleep in the company of other capsules. Location was a 20-minute walk to downtown. Was it worth 60 USD? Maybe.

Affordable but you need a bus pass
I had some trouble finding the hotel. The location is not ideal with a 30 minute walk to the nearest subway. Still there is a bus stop nearby. Other than that, the capsule itself is OK, especially if you spend all day walking around and only want to sleep. However be warned that the showers are collective, so you might find yourself with a couple of naked Japanese businessmen at the end of long day. Also, two out of three toilets are Asian style however, that is normal in Japan. The people at the reception are nice and helpful. There are lots of temples nearby and the main shopping area is a 15 minutes walk. Right next to the hotel you'll find several small and cheap restaurants, as well as two small convenience stores. On the whole, if you are looking for a place to pass the night and don't want to pay much I would recommend this place.
