Hotel Ninja Black

The location was perfect! We could easily walk to the train station through a quiet and interesting residential neighbourhood. There were two wonderful shrines close by to explore as well as the extensive Imperial Palace grounds. Several convenience stores, a clean and quiet laundromat and a few small local restaurants were all within a short 5 minute walking distance.

The rooms were a great size with very comfortable beds and a small wardrobe space. The ensuites were a good size, and the night gowns were a great touch. the hotel is away from the hustle and bustle, but within walking distance of trains + attractions.

The Ninja theme is on point, the premises are actually very modern, but it has details that make it look like something is hiding just out of view. Rooms where very comfy and big for the price. They were also very quite and I loved taking a bath in the bathroom everyday.

Hotel was as advertised. Rooms were clean, relatively spacious, and the hotel has a ninja theme. The check-in was fast and efficient. There is a vending machine for drinks inside, that is appreciated. There is also a common room where you can grab a drink along with a selection of books in English and Japanese. In addition, there is a garden outside with a couple of tables. The location is close to the Imperial Palace, there are a few convenience stores nearby and other food joints.

I really liked the theming of this hotel - staff dressing up in ninja costumes, spike pit by the reception desk, shuriken on the walls, revolving doors at the reception. It made the stay in Kyoto even more interesting. The room I stayed in was extremely big and excellent value for money. In terms of width, the bathroom was very spacious too. Shower was also very powerful. It's reasonably close to Muratamachi station (direct connection to Kyoto station). It also has a small garden and kitchen room (neither of which I used).
