Resi Stay Nishijin
4.3/513 Reviews

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

Nijō Castle

Higurashi-Sou
4.5/55 Reviews

Higurashi-Sou

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|0.36km from Nijō Castle
In fact, it’s some way away from the subway, but it’s a good walk. It’s not too far. There are still more choices for nearby buses. It's close to Nijo Castle, but we stayed for three nights and haven't visited it. One morning we arrived at the door because we didn't go in because we had to buy a ticket. In fact, it is recommended to take a walk when we have time. Speaking of the hotel, it really feels good. The house is said to be a century-old house. There are two rooms on the first floor, a living room, a dining room, two bathing rooms, two toilets, and the washing is in the corridor, although it is small. , But the space is compact and the planning is very reasonable. By the way, there is a small courtyard, but only one of the rooms can be seen. Just open the door, and it is cool to live in this room. The second floor didn't go up much. It seemed that there were three or four rooms. Because we went in the off-season, the whole hotel was not full, so we did not encounter the noisy situation of walking up the stairs as mentioned in the comments. The air conditioner and heater in the room are very powerful, so I can't sleep on it all night, or it will be too dry. Living here really feels like home. The furniture and decorations that are visited everywhere are very coordinated and comfortable. We buy some snacks and breakfast from the supermarket every night, and we have tea parties in the evening. We make our own bread in the morning and mix it with milk. We must drink more. We have bought several brands of milk on the side, and we recommend Hokkaido and Meiji. We drink it every day for almost the entire trip in Japan. Speaking of small places, the bath water is strong and hot. I forgot the brand of shampoo and shower gel, because I have stayed in several hotels and remembered it, but it is really good, it seems to be orange-flavored and very natural. If you have time, if you have been walking outside for a long time, you can experience a local bathing house, which is a domestic bathhouse. Dianping search is good, just look at the high score and not far away. I went to experience it and encountered very strange things, but it may be very common in the local area. I won't go into details, let's experience it by myself.

Kyoto Crystal Hotel Ⅲ
4.3/573 Reviews
Kyoto Station
I had a great deal on this hotel and was very happy with my choice. The room was super clean and more spacious than I expected. No closet for your clothes, though. there is one drawer next to the bed, for some small stuff. Two electricity sockets and 2 usb inlets per bed. The beds were very comfy! Shower and bath were perfect. Reception was very accommodating. The room has a water heater and fridge. Couple of things notable: Station Tokyo is a 10 minutes walk, if you walk briskly. I thought the station was closer by, so that was a misconception on my part. Breakfast is very Japanese: many choices, but definitely not for vegetarians. I was glad our neighbors spent their evenings talking and not much else, because we could hear them talk, the walls were that thin. No safe in the room. All in all, I would personally choose an hotel nearer to the station, but if you don't mind the walk, the price and quality of the hotel couldn't be better, that's why 4 stars.
Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi
4.5/5611 Reviews
Best location hotel so far. Located between two subway station. Center of kyoto shopping street. Nice and clean facilities. I like the view from our room this was surplus. Will definitely come back to stay here again.
Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto
4.8/561 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
My wife’s birthday trip at the Suiran was a dream come true. With successive Covid cancellations, it took us four years of planning, but it was worth the wait. With their traditional Japanese structures and landscaping, the Suiran was our oasis of calm during Kyoto’s busiest season (cherry blossoms). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and the best breakfasts of our lives in their dining room, and blissful riverside happy hours in their cafe. Our comfortable room had all the amenities, and a soothing minimalist aesthetic. The Suiran staff is spectacular: thoughtful, gracious, attentive. Through our years of planning and days of enjoyment, we were guided by Suiran’s chief concierge, Hiromi Maruyama. Her kindness, patience, and expertise added greatly to the success of our time in Kyoto. Her suggestions and insights, and good spirits were a beacon shining our way. We are indebted to her for her efforts on our behalf.
Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo
4.6/5433 Reviews
Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
The hotel is very close to the subway station, just 4 turns away. There is Daimaru Department Store and Nintendo Store nearby for shopping. You can basically find everything you want. The hotel has a hot spring which is very comfortable😌

Hotel location is very good, really close to Kiyomizu Temple, very satisfied
UNIZO INN Kyoto Kawaramachi Shijo
4.4/577 Reviews
Located in Shijo Kawaramachi, an arcade, you can go without getting wet in the rain! The building is new and clean. Amenity goods are also available at a minimum, so it's good. The front desk is always called with a bell because there are no people. Are you adjusting the number of people due to the corona disaster?

Travelers usually fly into Kansai International Airport or Osaka Itami Airport before making their way to Kyoto by train or bus. The city has an efficient network of buses and trains, including a subway system.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is still commonly used. Japanese is the primary language spoken, though English is understood in many tourist areas.
