Kyoto Shimogyo Ward 4-star Hotels

the location is excellent, right in the middle of everything, a lot of kyoto attractions are within walking distance. just a few step from hankyo line station connecting to arashiyama and osaka umeda. breakfast set meal is excellent, highly recommended. the public bath comes in handy after along walks day. the coffee stand right across the street in front of the hotel offer selection of very good coffee. the temple vibe of the hotel is quite interesting, one of a kind experience.

Great and cozy hotel! The hotel is pretty new with unusual check in(5pm) and check out time(2pm) so if you arrived early, could have store luggage at the luggage room. Sequence Gojo room is relatively spacious! I like its minimalist design. It has public sauna and bath facilities which perfect to release day fatigues.

Good hotel, not far from station or centre of town (about half an hour walk each). Coffee provided all day in the lobby. Gym available but costs 1000 yen per visit and requires reservation which is a bit annoying. Rooms are big compared to other hotels of similar price in Japan. Coin laundry is good (cash only). Onsen is nice - separate for men and women as is standard in Japan.

Right in the heart of Kyoto, located only a short walk from Nishiki Market, Nijo Castle and the local metro, the OneFive Kyoto boasts a top-notch location for those looking to stay and explore this wonderful city. My room was both comfortable and clean, with services provided daily so that you can always have fresh towels after a day of exploring. Free coffee—and good quality—and toiletries add some icing on the cake. I highly enjoyed my stay here, and I’m sure you will too.

Very pleasant stay, good value of money, spacious room, various choices of breakfast, perfect location with supermarket, restaurants just across the street and like 15-20 mins walk only to Main Street shopping area. Very helpful and friendly staff, highly recommended and I will definitely come back next time.

This hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly! Location was very good and the Spa was out of this world. Put your right to bed! The beds were super comfortable and I can honestly say I would stay there again without hesitation. Look out for video review on @chopandtravel on instagram and TikTok.

One of the best hotels we visited in Japan! Truly amazing experience. All visitors walk without shoes in the hotel but the floor was absolutely clean and nice. Excellent baths, massage chairs, breakfast (in the photo) and complementary ramen & ice cream. The room and the hotel as well were in Japanese style which was perfect for us. 11 minutes from shinkansen railway station, 7 minutes from subway, 30-40 minutes by foot to Gyon. Smoking room was available however it was pretty small but ok. What could be improved: more cleaning in the bathing area in dressing room. More massage chairs would be nice as it was pretty crowded due to people waiting in queues. One woman left her child in the massage chair with ipad “for hours” so it was impossible for other visitors to use it. Overall, fascinating hotel and we will 100% sure come back!

We stayed at Urban Hotel Kyoto Shijo Premium for 1 night. The location of the hotel was closed to Gion district and Nishiki market by bus. There is a bus stop outside the hotel where you can catch a bus to Kyoto station. The room was clean but very small in size as we expected. We stayed in a queen queen, and the bed was comfortable. The room was quiet, and the bathroom was clean . There is a public bath in the hotel, which is free to use, but we didn't manage to use it.

Booked Mitsui Garden as a last minute one night stay as my initial hotel has some water issues, resulting no water for shower and toileting needs. Nonetheless Mitsui is a pleasant surprise. Location is right next to Kyoto station with lots of food, shopping options. Amenities were great too. Room is of a great size with a small coin laundry room. It is such a great pity that I found out about Mitsui only on my last day of stay. Will be my choice stay the next time I visit Kyoto.

Great location, it is convenient to go everywhere in kyoto. I went to Enryaku-ji temple on the Mount Hie on this occasion. We can go by JR from kyoto station to the station Sakamoto, then change to take Salamoto Cable Car. This tour is much more convenient than by bus. Hope to visit again next time during this summer, because the landscape is so greenery, good for the eyes to enjoy. Thanks
