Shiki Shiki Higashiyama

Cute accommodation good facilities and great location. Check in and out was easy and self sufficient

Not well insulated and you can hear all noise from guests coming and going at all hours. Lots of noise after 1-2am when other guests coming back in. If on the lower or second floor you can hear all the noise from other guests stomping and walking around on the top floor.

hairdryer is abit faulty, couldn't dry my hair properly. there is no receptionist and very small space.

綺麗でよかったです。壁が薄いので自分たちの声が響いてないかきになりました。

Easy access, just 2min from the nearest station and easy starting point to get around. Quiet area and easy check-in and out. The shower and bathtub was the best!

Its a lovely place with Ryokan charm, and super well located. Beautiful all around, the place feels luxurious and it adds to your "Kyoto Experience". It was an overall great experience, and COULD stay again if check-in was improved.

Check-in was rough. There is a letter system (they stick a letter at the entrance for your code) for your check-in, but we never received this information, reply is only comes 2-3 hours later, and had to call a number with the help of a passing guest (the number is Japanese... we're foreigners, we don't have a Japanese number!). 4pm check-in + no way in is a rough start. Shower was hot one day, not hot the next one.

It is very convenient because it is directly next to Higashiyama.subway. This place is on a residential area but very close to convenience store like Daily konbini and McDonalds. The room I chose fits people but I am on my own for a business trip. There is a bathroom inside but the toilet is shared. There is a small cooking area with fridge. The aircon in the room is functioning well. The linens are fresh. The bed is said to be hard for a futon but I put together two comforter so there was no problem. The pillows are nice and clean and pristine white. They are made of mixed cotton and small pebbles giving you a feeling of memory foam. The toilet is positioned next to my room and it was always clean without bad odor. The toilet bowl is modern with full functionality. There are 3 levels. There is a steep staircase so be careful when climbing especially with your luggages. Please take note the rooms are not sound proof so be mindful of keeping quiet so other guests won't be disturbed. The owner is friendly and reachable by email or phone call. The passwords,shouldn't be put outside the main entrance for safety purpose. Receiving an email would be sufficient. The general reminders printed on a paper can be left within the room. Overall, it was a great experience.

It is not sound proof. A banging loud noise probably from suitcases were heard from 3rd floor
