Kyoto no KatasumiSquare
November 1, 2024
There is a small lobby-like desk on the second floor where you can check in. You have to carry your luggage up the concrete stairs to the second floor. I think it's a repurposed staircase from another facility, but I'd like an escalator. I guess not having an escalator is a cost-saving concept.
As soon as you enter the security area with your card, you'll be in the common area.
Guests are hanging out in their roomwear on sofas, chairs, and counter seats by the windows.
The security area one step further is for women.
The room with the capsule beds (bunk) lined up by the door is dimly lit, and the beds you'll be staying in are lit up with white LEDs. There are also beds with TVs.
I felt a sense of self-restraint when climbing up to the top bunk bed. It's difficult to climb up when you're drunk, and quite dangerous.
The shower room, washbasin, toilet, and laundry space are all in one room. The layout is rational.
There is a smoking room for both men and women next to the common area.
I think it's very cost-effective to stay in front of the station at a low price.
There was one problem, there was something left in the washing machine that hadn't been washed yet (curtains? some kind of cover?) so I had to give up on doing the laundry. The next day, it was left in exactly the same state, and it turned out that no one had checked it during the morning cleaning.
I called a hotel staff member and insisted that they deal with it immediately.
