HOTEL SHIKISAI KYOTO

The location was wonderful... in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of small restaurants to enjoy. I felt like I was living, not just visiting, Kyoto. It was very close to the subway system, and walkable to Nijo Castle and the Imperial park. Best of all, the room as soo big and full of light. I loved the hanging wicker chair - perfect for reading a book. The bathroom was big and the rain shower heaven!

Only two things that could use improvement... there was no full length mirror and the tv (very large!) was too close to the bed, and making it a little difficult to watch.

This is a unique property with interestingly decorated rooms. We stayed in Nuance which was a huge room and it had a washer dryer which was nice. Also centrally located close to Nishiki market.

The rooms didn’t feel particularly clean with lots of stains on the rugs and walls. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and the bedding wasn’t very soft. Our room had a kind bed and the duvet was too small for the bed which resulted in discomfort for 2 people. This hotel also has zero amenities and is only staffed from 8:30am-6pm. The tv is large but placed in a strange area that makes it difficult to watch comfortably. Took awhile to figure out AC and laundry - English instructions would’ve been nice.

Spacious, stylish rooms with great amenities in a quiet, central Kyoto location. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Spacious and quirky rooms, with great big comfortable beds, hard or find in Japan. Right off a main shopping area with lovely boutiques. Quiet and peaceful, though centrally located. A real treasure.

Everything was wonderful.

Perfect location for the hotel near all the sites but in the quiet area. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. highly recommend to everyone.

The rooms were so spacious and the staff were very polite and welcoming. They let us check in early as the room was available.

Nothing

The friendly and accommodating staff was the highlight. The room was not fancy but was comfortable. The beds were very comfy. The room had a washer/dryer which ended up being a huge bonus as we'd gone through so much of our warm weather clothing by the time we arrived in Kyoto. The shower and bath were great. The toilet is in a separate doored area, which is a great detail when traveling with family.

We could have used more counter space in the bathroom, but it is only a small complaint. The location is near several museums but, it turns out, it's not a very exciting area of the city and we found more scenic, friendly and social areas during our exploration.
