My stay at Sauna & Capsule Hotel Rumor Plaza in Kyoto was fantastic overall, with excellent amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. The capsules were surprisingly spacious and quiet, which made it easy for me to get a good night's sleep after a busy day exploring. However, the locker room space was quite small, making it challenging to store my luggage comfortably during my stay.

The breakfast offered was a good mix of traditional Japanese dishes and continental options. I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled mackerel, miso, and rice, which were far better than I expected from a hotel breakfast.

The facilities were impressive, featuring a public bath with various options, including a sauna and jacuzzi. I found the toiletries provided (like shaving cream and moisturizers) to be very convenient. However, it would be nice to have a private bath option available.

The saunas were great, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities. However, I noticed there could be more water points available, and the public shower arrangements might be a culture shock for some.
