HOTEL SHIKISAI KYOTO

Easily one of the best hotels i have stayed in. There are only good things to say. The location is convenient, within 5mins to train station, convenience stores, Mcdonalds, Starbucks. Walking distance to atttractions like Nijo castle, Nishiki market, Pontocho. The room is excellent. We stayed in the Hawaiian chill and absolutely love it. It was super spacious with a kitchenette, 2 doubled sized beds, a living room area and the best part was the bathroom area. The shower, basin and toilet parts are 3 different separated areas in the same space. So everyone can do what they needed to without waiting for availability. After a long day of touring, this really helps everyone to settle down fast. Room amenities were complete. The check in and check out staff (same lady) spoke perfect English and was super polite. When we checked out, it was drizzling and she offered us to take a few umbrellas along without the worry of returning them. We did not take the umbrellas as we called uber but it was unexpected and amazing service which we really appreciate. She even came out in the rain to help us load our luggages! If we are in Kyoto again, I would definitely choose to stay here!

We like everything about this place - the room, location, staff. It is a small hotel but also luxurious. Its design is well thoughts and all equipments are carefully selected - the equiped kitchen, utensils, amenities. The room is spacious. We drive the car, and the location is well in the middle of the city, so easily access to everything. Many restaurants options, starbucks and family marts in walking distance.

Small hotel with kind staff. Very large and comfortable rooms with lots of amenities. The location- tucked into a neighborhood, just a couple of blocks to transportation, sightseeing, dining- was ideal for us. Laundry facilities, kitchenette and fab bathroom made this a standout boutique hotel. We stayed in the Urban room.

Amazing and one of our favourite hotels ever. Not really a hotel, more of a private set of rooms in the middle of Kyoto but in an area that makes you feel like you’re in the suburbs. Our room was beautifully finished and we didn’t want for anything, a washer/dryer in our bathroom ensured our clothes were refreshed for the rest of our holiday. A lovely place to base yourself and return after a busy day of sightseeing. Plenty of local restaurants and cafes on the doorstep.

This hotel is incredible. The staff are so friendly, our room (Bali) was gorgeous and spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was excellent (for taking transit as well as being situated by some great restaurants, cafes, and shops). We will absolutely stay here again the next time we travel to Kyoto!
