As everybody wrote already the positive (and true!) facts about Tour Club, I would like to give some critic, constructive critic of couse.
The curfew is a nice thing, for senior travellers.
But as no seniors are are staying here, at least I didnt see any, it's kinda useless and a fun killer.
Staying in Tour Club means missing and not experiencing Kyoto, Osakas nightlife.
Even if you come back before 11pm to gatherin the living room, the staff gonna interupt you at 11pm, switches off the light and sends you to bed.
Sad that I have to mention the pressure made by the staff to get rid off the customers after check-out time.
At teh end its still a nice place to stay, good location and,and,and...!
Change some rules and behaviors and Tour Club gonna be perfect!
