I like the Japanese style of the hotel very much. The soup is also very good and comfortable, but the price is expensive. The breakfast is average. Some people don't eat enough. Everything else is good

It's pretty good. The room is big and the location is good. It's next to the subway station... but the bed is too soft...

Very Japanese style hotel! There are only ten rooms in total. There is a very delicious breakfast and aerial hot springs, but they require reservation. The hotel bed is also very soft, and it is very comfortable to sleep. It's very close to Sanjo and Sijo on foot. The windows can be opened and there is a small balcony.

Due to the change of itinerary, I didn't go to this hotel at all, but I knew that I couldn't get a refund that night, and Ctrip didn't give me a refund the next day. At first, the reason they gave was that the hotel wouldn't refund me, but I called the hotel front desk and it turned out that it was Ctrip's agent who wouldn't refund me. After negotiation, I was finally refunded 4,000. In fact, I knew that it was my fault that I couldn't get a refund on the first day, but I couldn't accept the non-refund after that.

I saw no reviews before ordering, so I commented. The hotel is a relatively small hotel with maybe 10 rooms in total. Most of them are foreigners. The hotel service is very good. The breakfast is not a buffet, but there are many varieties. The salad is delicious even though I don’t like salad. My girlfriend can’t get up early. He Will also be delivered to the room

This is a small Ryokan-style property with a minimalistic luxury feel to it. If you appreciate quiet luxury, perfect hospitality and attention to detail, this is for you. We stayed in the suite which provided ample space, nice amenities and a well stocked mini bar. Interior is very nice with beatiful and traditonal design concept. Perfect cleanliness. Located in a nice neighborhood near Heian Shrine and several other sights well worth checking out. Metro station across the street is also very useful but Kyoto is best experienced walking. Healthy set breakfast of highest quality and the breakfast room also serves as a bar in the evenings. But what really sets this high-end Ryokan property apart is the dedication, friendliness, and genuine hospitality of all staff members. It was simply perfect. This is definitely one of the best hotels we have stayed in and I can truly recommend it. We had a very memorable stay in Kyoto and hope to return to Higashiyama Shikikaboku soon.

My wife and I stayed at Shikikaboku when we were in Kyoto for a few days and we absolutely loved it. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were very nice (and felt very Japanese zen), and the daily happy hour free drink was much appreciated. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice, relaxing place to stay in a prime location.

If you can get a room here, grab it. The Shikikaboku is one of the most magical little hotels I've ever stayed in. The room was perfect, the rooftop bath was amazing and the location was incredibly convenient. Oh, and the service was top shelf. I've stayed in a lot of hotels, but this one is among the best.

My wife and I loved our time at Shikikaboku, originally staying 3 nights but extended for one more. It's in a lovely part of Kyoto, surrounded by beautiful scenery, quirky shops (antiques, handicrafts etc.) and made for a relaxing stay before we headed to Tokyo. Service was fantastic with every member of the team friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Particularly enjoyed the bar trying one of the Japanese whiskys and the recommended restaurants to sample traditional kaiseki and yakiniku meals. The styling of the hotel is minimalist Japanese with attention to detail and a cozy feel throughout. The rooftop area, with the outdoor bashes is particularly cool. Already planning to stay again next year!
