Urbain Kyoto Kiyomizugojo

Single room is too small room and the design of the room is not optimizing the small space. If you have large suitcase, you have to put it at the entrance which will either block the entrance door or the toilet door. You will need to keep moving your suitcase to open one of that doors (they don’t allow you to put your suitcase on tatami mat). But well, that is something I can still tolerate despite the room rate is not that cheap. The only thing I cannot tolerate is the staff being inconsiderate and not allowing me to spend max of 5 mins to perform my prayer after checking out (I asked whether I can use their laundry room, they said no and not giving any other alternative at all). There was not many guest at that time (around 3pm) so chances of them using the laundry room is zero. Other hotel/hostel that I have stayed before are fine with it so this is my first time experiencing this. If I know they are that inconsidered, I would have dropped by kyoto tower and perform my prayer first before collecting my luggage. That “5 mins” costs me 1 hour detour to kyoto station dragging my heavy lugagge. While kyoto is becoming more muslim friendly city, this hotel is certainly not up to the par
