Hotel Nine Hours Kyoto - the gorgeous capsule hotel

Capsule hotels are budget hotels in Japan where you will be provided with basic accommodation by sleeping in your personal “capsule”. Hotel Nine Hours Kyoto is a capsule hotel located near Kawaramachi Station and is one that specialises in providing a basic but great accommodation.

Shower and sleep are the most important factors when choosing a hotel and the stylish hotel certainly provides that. The lighting in the spacious “sleeping pods” is designed in such a way that it gradually gets dark when sleeping, and vice versa when waking up. This allows the body to get the most efficient sleep, allowing you to wake up refreshed.

Basic amenities are also provided, and the clean shower rooms and washrooms ensure a comfortable stay.
