Maishima Sports Island Romantic Vacations

The hotel is a bit underwhelming. I still do not understand why it is rated so highly on Expedia. It feels more like an okay apartment (nothing fancy) than a hotel. The bed covers were stained with what looked like blood, and they had to move me to a different room. The AC was very loud, and I had to use air plugs to sleep (it is very warm in Kyoto in the summer, so sleeping without AC was not an option). Also, the windows are blurred, so you do not get any view. The location is okay, as it is not far from Kyoto station. Some nice things, the place might be ideal if you are traveling in a large group (my room had two queen beds and a sofa that could transform into a third bed). It also had a four persons dinning table, a properly sized fridge and freezer, a microwave and a washing machine, so it may also be ideal for long stays.

Great location and the rooms were very nice!

This hotel is the best one we stayed at on our two week trip through Japan. Super clean, awesome staff, and the breakfast buffet was phenomenal! All the other hotels seemed drab after this one.

Loved the complimentary hotdogs, drinks, pancakes and ice cream in the lounge. After a full day at Universal Studios, we were too tired to go out for food, so just ate at the lounge. Had connecting rooms as there were 5 of us, which was amazing as it have us extra space, with the convenience.

Rooms were clean staff were extremely helpful.

Rooms were large and spacious. Some staff was friendly. Most of the hotel is outdated. Rooms are clean but very old and need major updates. Gym is old and staff is not that friendly. Pool is an additional fee and if you want a chair on the pool deck that’s even more. I spent 8000 yen for one day at the pool! Check in staff turned us away because we arrived 10 minutes early. Location is nice and central to trains and some decent spots within walking distance. Restaurants in hotel were overpriced especially for the quality of food offered. Got the feeling they weren’t to happy to have non Japanese speaking tourists around.

Nice hotel

Very clean and professional looking place. Rooms were comfortable but a bit smaller than I thought, not a whole lot of space for luggage but everything else was sound and they provided extra things like toothbrushes which was really nice
