Well located, many amenities in the room and several floors, very friendly staff, good price. The only downside is the size of the room, making it difficult to move for big guys like us. Excellent stay.

An Unacceptable Experience: Abysmal Service, Outdated Facilities, and a Shameful Breakfast I am writing this review to strongly warn future travelers about the appalling service and substandard facilities at this property. I genuinely wish I had been aware of these profound operational failures before booking my stay, and I hope this feedback deters others from being scammed in the same manner we were. Substandard and Cramped "Superior" Rooms While I was aware that room sizes in this area might be smaller than average, I specifically chose to pay a premium for a "superior" room to guarantee a baseline of comfort. This upgrade was a complete waste of money. The room quality was incredibly mediocre, featuring outdated facilities, highly uncomfortable bedding, and heavily stained carpets. Despite the supposed "upgrade," the layout was so exceptionally cramped that simply opening a standard suitcase on the floor proved to be an impossible task. Severe Communication Barriers Basic customer service was virtually non-existent. The front desk staff demonstrated a complete inability to speak or comprehend basic English, which made resolving simple issues or asking standard questions incredibly frustrating and inefficient. A Chaotic and Scam-Like Breakfast Experience The most shameful aspect of our stay, without a doubt, was the breakfast. Because this is an additional paid service, the level of extreme stinginess displayed is completely unacceptable. Inadequate Space: The dining area is vastly undersized for the volume of guests, and the staff makes zero effort to manage the flow or remedy the overcrowding. Deliberate Scarcity: To cut costs, the buffet replenishment is intentionally kept to an absolute minimum. Staff bring out negligible quantities of food, forcing guests to make constant back-and-forth trips to secure even basic items. Very often, empty trays are simply left unreplenished. Hostile Environment: This deliberate artificial scarcity creates a chaotic and stressful environment. It resulted in massive crowding around the buffet, guests pushing each other, and trays being dropped. The experience was so dreadful that by the second day, I completely abandoned the idea of eating breakfast there, despite having paid extra for it. Zero Accountability from Management When I formally complained to the reception about the disastrous breakfast situation, their response was entirely unprofessional. Instead of offering a solution, they immediately deflected responsibility, claiming that the breakfast is operated by a partner restaurant rather than by Ibis directly, and therefore, "there is nothing they could do." If the hotel refuses to take responsibility for a service they actively sell at their own front desk, they should either immediately issue refunds or transparently inform guests prior to booking so they can make alternative arrangements. Promoting such an abysmal, mismanaged service severely tarnishes the Accor group’s brand image. Conclusion This hotel completely failed to deliver on its promises. Do not pay for the room upgrades, avoid the breakfast at all costs, and honestly, consider staying elsewhere entirely. I highly recommend taking your business to a property that actually values its guests.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We are truly sorry to learn that your stay was so disappointing and did not meet your expectations in many aspects. First and foremost, please accept our sincere apologies for the condition of your room. We deeply regret that the Superior room did not provide the comfort, space, and quality you rightfully expected. Your comments regarding the outdated facilities, bedding comfort, and carpet cleanliness are extremely concerning, and we are addressing these issues with our housekeeping and maintenance teams as a matter of priority. We are also very sorry to hear about the communication difficulties you experienced with our front desk team. Clear and efficient communication is a fundamental part of hospitality, and we regret any frustration this may have caused. We will reinforce language and service training to better support our international guests. Your feedback regarding the breakfast experience is particularly troubling, and we sincerely apologize for the situation you encountered. The overcrowding, insufficient replenishment, and stressful environment you described are far from the standard we aim to deliver. While breakfast operations are conducted in cooperation with a partner restaurant, this in no way diminishes our responsibility. We fully acknowledge that this experience fell short, and we are actively working with the partner to improve capacity management, food availability, and overall guest experience. Furthermore, we deeply regret the response you received when raising your concerns during your stay. The impression that we refused responsibility or failed to offer a solution does not reflect our service values. This has been shared with our management team to ensure a more accountable and proactive approach in handling guest concerns moving forward. We also sincerely apologize for not providing a meaningful recognition of your loyalty as an ALL Classic member. Your trust in our brand is very important to us, and we regret that we fell short in this regard. We understand the extent of your frustration and disappointment, and we are truly sorry that we were unable to deliver the level of service you expected. Please be assured that your feedback is being taken very seriously and will be used as a basis for immediate and long-term improvements. Should you consider giving us another opportunity in the future, we would greatly appreciate the chance to regain your trust and provide you with the experience you deserve. Warm regards, ibis Styles Kyoto Shijo Operation Manager Kazuhide Oomori
