Nice, but needs WiFi
We stayed at the Hotel Avanshell for five nights. It was very difficult to be on vacation and not have access to WiFi. Since we were visiting over the New Year celebration, we wanted to look up the hours of business for some of the local sites, look up our flight information, etc. We were told to use the Starbucks in the mall, but that was a headache to set up. A nice Japanese woman helped us, but it still took an hour just to register. The hotel and staff are very nice...if there had been WiFi I would be rating this hotel much higher. Location is great, especially if you want to explore Gion

Godt hotel, dårlig beliggenhed
Hotellet var i sig selv udmærket, men det ligger ikke særligt godt i Kyoto. Man skal en længere tur med bus for at komme ind til Gion.

Nice hotel but location far from central kyoto
The only issue with this place is its location. Very far from central kyoto and requires more than an hour to get to kyoto station via public transport. Otherwise big room and space to put things. There are free shuttle bus services throughout the day but only every hour starting from 8am till 8:40pm. Can't go out earlier or come home later. So need to catch public transport.

Very good value for money
Nice big room. Hotel bus is a welcome bonus. Close to attractions using bicycle. Hotel staff very friendly and when you get the right person better than the tourist information. Wish we could have stayed longer but was booked out. Just be aware that if you get a non smoking room you may still have a little smell, but that seems to be at a lot of places in Japan and was actually better than in other hotels.

good value for money
Rooms are nice and clean but a bit small for two persons. The people at the front desk were very helpfull and tried their best to help us even though their english wasn't always the best. The free shuttle bus to and from Kyoto Station was very good for getting to and from the hotel. The hotel os located a bit from the central area, but it is still close to the more historic parts of town in hagashiyama. We rented bicycles in a metro station rather close to the hotel and with them it was quick and easy getting around everywhere - much easier than using the public transport system.

性價比高
酒店本身很不錯，雖然房間顯得有點陳舊，但乾淨舒適，而且在日本的酒店裡頭面積算是非常大的！床鋪也很柔軟！雖然位置距離京都的市中心有點遠，往車站去不是那麼方便（酒店有shuttle bus但我們沒用到），不過前往金閣寺銀閣寺的話都有車直接到~xD

Abgelegen
Das Hotel liegt meiner Meinung nach zu weit außerhalb von Downtown Kyoto und eignet sich daher nur bedingt. Wer keine Probleme hat Bus zufahren, hat dieses Problem nicht. Positiv hingegen ist die Einkaufpassage mit Starbucks und mehreren Kleidungs und Lebensmittelgeschäften. Es ist hingegen zuweit von jeder Ubahn Station entfernt. (20min)

convenient place
My husband and I were in Kyoto for 6 days where he attended a conference. We stayed at Hotel Avanshell, which is a nice place. It is located conveniently in the quiet side of Kyoto City very much accessible by bus. There are a number of shops and malls near the hotel for any personal needs. I found the mattress saggy and the pillows too soft for comfort though. There is a TV but it only shows local channels in Japanese. Some of the room furnishings look old. I requested for a room with a view and the hotel did oblige. The front desk staff were nice and they tried their best to communicate in English

The best hotel in 50 years
There is absolutely nothing i can say that can be construed as even slightly negative (except for the fact that their rate doubles on Saturday night). Every member of the staff I interacted with went out of their way to assist me. I was provided with maps and information that the staff had researched online and then printed it for me.Bus and train routes, schedules, maps etc etc. The room was ore than adequate, there was an ice machine. I use the "coin op" laundry with washers and dryers. The hotel is inside a larger building with a large supermarket, food court with many restaurants, department store, a fantastic German restaurant and bakery (try their rye with walnuts and candied orange peel). I would go back there in an instant.

壁が・・・薄い？
今回初めて利用させて頂きました。部屋の壁が薄い（？）ことに驚きました。向いの部屋から赤ちゃんの泣き声が夜中響いていたり、廊下を歩くと部屋のテレビの音が漏れていたり。。一晩、静かに過ごしました。

便利で美しい
疲れない　ホテルの下には品揃えのよい大型店があり、自分の家で暮らすより利便性は高かった。それなのに、ホテルの入り口から静かで風流　部屋の中も相当きれいでモダン　あまり不満がなかった

I shopping center med alt hvad hjertet kan begære
Det var dejligt at leje cykler og køre langsfloden. Fedt at der var gratis shuttle bus ind til centrum og hjem igen. Så fik vi udnyttet tiden bedst muligt. Set flere templer. Dog var botanisk have en skuffelse meget lidt vedligehold.

車の方は気楽です
名のある高いホテルもいいですが、ここは大文字も見える場所ですし、観光巡りにおかねをかける考えの我々には十分です。隣のカナートスーパー系も普段忙しくて雑貨購入を後回しにしている生活していると思い出せて余暇で買い物できて一石二鳥ですね。車でいつも観光するため24時間駐車無料や起点にするならまわりやすいです

즐거웠던 교토 여행
교토역에서 거리가 꽤 되지만 셔틀버스가 있기때문에 이용하면서 다니면 그리 불편한점은 못느꼈습니다..객실도 넓고 청결하고 같은 건물에 큰 쇼핑몰이 같이 있어서 저녁에 장보기도 편하고 좋았습니다..마실수 있는 물과 얼음도 제공되었어서 날도 더운데 매우 좋았습니다. 또 교토를 가게 된다면 다시 이용할 생각이 있습니다!
