During my first visit in Japan, I stayed in Karasuma Kyoto Hotel. I must say, it is an excellent hotel for a reasonable price. I read a lot about small rooms and beds in almost all hotels in Japan, but this hotel is not that bad at all.
i booked the room well in advance after reading some good reviews on tripadvisor and frankly speaking, it was not a mistake. The hotel is located on a busy street and close to the main shopping district. A metro station (Shijo) is just 1min walk from the hotel. There are a few departmental stores and restaurants available within walking distance.
My room was small, but big enough for one person. There were TV (mostly Japanese channels), high-speed wired internet, a writing desk, a small refrigerator and some small but useful supplies. Every part of this hotel is super clean. The staff at the desk and the room service (I hardly used any) were very very polite and professional.
I loved my four nights stay at this hotel. Highly recommended.
