My stay at Ibis was acceptable in terms of room comfort, although the rooms are quite small. However, an issue with the laundry service had a big impact on our experience. We spent around three hours trying to dry our clothes using the available machines, but they never fully dried, even after several attempts and using different machines. This took time we could have used to explore the city. When I went to reception to explain what happened and ask for a possible solution, I was questioned about the amount of clothes I said we had used, and was told: “We cannot verify that what you are saying is true.” What stood out to me was not the issue itself, but the way it was handled, without empathy or basic trust in what a guest is explaining. With Ibis’ strong reputation worldwide, I was genuinely surprised by the way this situation was managed. Because of this experience, I have decided I will not stay at Ibis again in Japan.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location and the cleanliness of your room. However, we are truly sorry to learn that your overall experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the laundry facilities and the interaction with our front desk team. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you encountered with the dryers. We fully understand how frustrating it must have been to spend valuable time attempting to dry your clothes, especially when that time could have been used to enjoy the city. Furthermore, we deeply regret that our response at reception left you feeling unsupported and mistrusted. This is certainly not the level of service or hospitality we aim to provide. Your comments regarding the lack of empathy and communication during the issue resolution have been taken very seriously. We will address this internally with our team to ensure that all guest concerns are handled with professionalism, understanding, and respect at all times. We also appreciate your feedback concerning our sustainability efforts. Your point about energy efficiency in relation to the laundry facilities has been noted and will be reviewed as part of our ongoing commitment to improving our operations. We regret that this experience has affected your impression of our brand, and we sincerely hope you might reconsider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with the quality service you rightfully expect from Ibis. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. Kind regards, Ibis Styles Kyoto Shijo
