THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijou Shinmachi

Beautiful quiet hotel with great location.

Windows don’t open

Large rooms. Lounge for free tea and sweets in the afternoon, and free drinks and snacks in the evening. Excellent location with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby.

We liked everything about this hotel.

The location

What I hated the most about the property was the lack of windows to look through. I don’t know if it was lost in translation because one person, at the front desk, told me all the rooms were like that and another said no. I wanted to change rooms but was told the hotel was fully booked.The windows are frosted over. No one had mentioned this in any of the reviews. I literally went back to the room only to sleep because otherwise I felt so claustrophobic. It really took away from my experience. The rooms were clean and the people helpful but I think that’s something that should be highlighted. I would never book a room with a window that I can’t see through. Also, the window blinds did not come down and so we couldn’t sleep in if we wanted to

Hier war alles stimmig. Tolles Frühstück und eine Lounge mit kleinen Snacks und Getränken.

The room was comfortable and the small hotel is quiet. The location was good and accessible to public transit. It was great to have the lounge to drop in for a drink, coffee & snacks. On-site laundry was a bonus.

Zimmer recht neu. Betten gut. Es gab einen Aufenthaltsraum, wo man Abends inklusive noch etwas zu trinken holen konnte oder einen Snack geniessen konnte

Frühstück war mir etwas zu minimalistisch. Und wer eine Aussicht erwartet wird enttäuscht, die Fenster sind blind.
