Guest Reviews

• Guilherme (10/5): - O quarto era grande para o padrão Japonês. O café da manhã era uma sopa, salada e alguns croissants que variavam conforme o dia. O atendimento dos funcionários da recepção foi excelente! Eles nos ajudaram bastante e inclusive traduziram algumas informações para a gente, o que facilitou nossa viagem! Única sugestão seria adicionar alguma proteína ao café da manhã.
• SHINJI (2/5): - 特にない
• Noriko (8/5): - 立地も良くコンパクトだけど必要な物が最低限揃ってるので充分だった。ただ水回りがちょっとカビ臭かったのが残念だった。
• Kei & Tracy (4/5): - Room had an unpleasant smell
• ?? (6/5): - 入口が工事をしていてわかりにくかった
• kouji (6/5): - ソファとかテーブルが無かったのは残念。
• Ritam (8/5): - The male staff members were most unhelpful and some barely spoke/understood english (they felt repeating themselves without answering the question would be ok). Often they would just stand there or go about their business ignoring you The female staff was the other extreme. very helpful and very supportive. so if you have issues, talk to one of the ladies who will actually help you out. The room was a hole in the wall with uneven floors and a steep step off coming out of the bathroom. this was made worse by the step off when leaving the room. We almost fell twice in the night - they did warn us at check in but nothing prepares you for what they told us. Construction was going on so place was quite noisy and frankly they should have shut down. Pro was connection to public transportation was good and the central location. However, I wouldnt recommend/stay if I go to Kyoto again.
• TEPPEI (6/5): - よかったです！
• Amy (2/5): - I paid and used the washing and drying machine and there were no bags to bring our clean clothes up to our room, so I went up to get a bag to put my clean clothes and some other guess just took out all my clean clothes on the dirts box where people put the dirts out for the dryer. I am a girl and a guy just took out all my clothes, panties and bars out on the open area. I went to the lobby and tried to explained the situation to the staffs and there were 4 staffs and none of them helped me. I felt super unsafe and super not happy about the services. I had never stayed in a hotel feel so insulted. I will never come back again.
• Isabelle (10/5): - C'était la deuxième fois que je venais dans cet hôtel, la première étant avec mes deux fils en 2023. L'hôtel est toujours à la hauteur de mes attentes. La chambre très agréable et propre.
• Melisa (8/5): - Very nice room and friendly staff. Room was clean and decently sized. Really close to a station so access to the rest of the city was easy. Nishiki market is a walkable distance. The Pokémon store is also very near by. A family mart is super close. A lot of dining options available
• Tyler (2/5): - The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The quality of the hotel past the lobby was disgusting and disappointing. The photos on the Expedia website were probably taken ten years ago. The bath was moldy, the vents were full of dust, and the tatami mats were alll stained. I do recommend. This hotel is very over priced.
• Hideki (8/5): - 地下鉄四条駅からも至近で、洗濯乾燥機もあり、便利です。朝餉は、甘い麵麭が苦手の方にはオススメ出来ませんが、価格は安いです。
• Verified traveler (4/5): 慎選 - 環境清潔度不夠，到處都有尚未清潔的灰塵，有些地方也有常年污垢，地理環境很棒，附近有24小時超市，價錢也便宜，但清潔度大扣分
• TYEve79 (6/5): Accessible and economical hotel - Hotel is walking distance from Shijo station. We booked a triple room. It was quite spacious. However, there was limited power point, we could only use a power point in our room near the TV area. Basic amenities (soap, conditioner and towels) are provided in room, you can grab tooth brush, comb, etc at the hotel lobby. Check in at 3pm only. We arrive around 2pm and was told to come back later to check in, they allowed us to store our luggage first. We booked our rooms with breakfast included. I would not recommend it. It is the same everyday and you must tell them what time you are going for breakfast so they can prepare for you. Go to nearby convenience stores and supermarkets to grab yours and have it in the lounge at basement. They have microwave and toaster there, together with tea, coffee and drinking water. Please note that there is bottled water provided in the room. There are also washing machines and dryers in the hotel, you can pay for usage. Room service was not very good too. Bedsheets were badly made, toilet floor not cleaned properly. Staff were not very friendly and most are not very fluent in English. Welcome drink was nice though.
• Yukiko (10/5): - 交通の便も良く、朝食も美味しかったです 費用に対するサービス、満足でした！
• Isabella (10/5): - A great place to stay in the heart of Kyoto. Very spacious rooms and lots of amenities. The staff were very kind too.
• Ehsan (4/5): - No lights, no outlets, bed was not good etc
• Jenny (8/5): - Location wise, it is walkable to major shopping areas, that's a plus. However, room wise, the bed is considered low/close to the floor, so it is a bit hard to get up comparing to a standard bed. In addition, there are steps once stepping into the guest room, a step to the bed area, and another step to the bathroom. Not exactly friendly for seniors.
• Shigehito (6/5): - いつもお世話になります。いつも室内を広く使えてよかったです。また、延長コードのレンタルする際にも手際よく対応していただいてスタッフさんには感謝です。 ただ、今回は401号室でしたが、なぜか部屋に戻るとTVがついていて怖かったです。TVの影響か、他から何か電波が来たのかわかりませんが。。。
• Yui (4/5): - 2泊しました。掃除希望しましたが掃除がきちんとなされてなく、大変不快でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 便利な場所で、お部屋も綺麗でよかったです! ユニットバスは古そうで洗面台は年季が入った感じだったのと、トイレットペーパーホルダーが取れかけていたのが残念でした。 他は概ね良好でした。
• Shigehito (8/5): - いつもお世話になっています。 相変わらず使いやすい部屋でしたので、今回も快適に過ごさせていただきました。 ウェルカムドリンクのスタッフさんも対応が良くてくつろげました！
• YUKIKO (10/5): - ロビーに入ると畳の椅子があり、京都らしさを感じました。部屋も綺麗で、素敵な額も飾られていて、値段はお安く大満足です。近くにコンビニもあり、不便さは感じませんでした。
• Shigehito (8/5): - 台風の影響で連泊が必要になる可能性が出てきた際にも、スタッフが優しく対応をしてくれました。また、テーブルタップ（コンセント）も貸していただいて、快適な滞在でした。
• Lukas (6/5): - Waren zu dritt für vier Nächte in dieser Unterkunft. Für drei Leute sind die Zimmer etwas zu klein, sodass man sich immer im Weg steht. Ansonsten ist es in Ordnung. Lediglich das Frühstück ist etwas traurig, da es kein Buffet sondern immer das gleiche mit einem ungemachten Salat gibt. Zentrale Lage in der Nähe einer großen Einkaufsstraße ist dagegen top!
• Kazuhiko (10/5): - 素晴らしいの一言でした。特にプライベートがまもられたのが良かったですよ。
• Shigehito (6/5): - いつもお世話になっています。 今回は801号室に宿泊をしましたが、コンセントがTV台のみとなっており、その下に分配用コンセント（たこ足？）がついていなかったので、お湯を沸かしながら、スマホなどの充電ができなかったのが残念です。 全室に分配コンセントが付くことを希望します。 また来週、よろしくお願いします。
• Mukesh (10/5): - Best location, near to nishiki market. Nearby Indian and Japanese restaurants.
• ゆうま (10/5): - 安価なのに充実感のあるホテルでした。 地下のフリースペースは程よく静かで落ち着いた空間でしたので、ゆっくりとお話や読書やデスクワークなどが出来そうです。
• かずひこ (10/5): - 快適な旅ができました。ありがとうございます
• Huan (2/5): - This property was little bit outdated. AC was Leaking out of water that I need to put a towel underneath . Bedroom ventilation doesn’t work. Bed and pillows are super uncomfortable. Me & my daughter got insect bites all over the body.
• Shigehito (8/5): - 今週もお世話になりました。 スタッフの皆さんが優しく対応してくれていつも助かります。 NHK BSでオリンピックを見ていましたが、登録画面が出ていたので、対応をしてもらえると嬉しいです
• Shigehito (8/5): - いつも仕事で利用していますが、今回は妻を同行し利用させていただきました。部屋は相変わらず使いやすく、清潔でよかったのですが、バスルームにコンセントがないということと、大きめの鏡がリビングにないため、ヘアメイクなどがやりにくかったと妻が言っておりました。女性目線ではいろいろあるものですね（男性では気が付きませんでした）。
• Shigehito (8/5): - 本日は201号室に宿泊させていただきました。TWINが空いていたとのことで変更していただいてうれしかったのですが、空調（おそらくバスルームの換気扇）の音がうるさく、寝つきにくかったです。 また、EN HOTELさん全般の話ですが、部屋が暗い傾向があるので、調光などで、明るくなるスペースがあるとうれしいです。 本日から、妻を迎えて京都旅行を楽しみたいと思います。いつも御世話になっているEN HOTELさん。今回もよろしくお願いします。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good stay for the price. The breakfast was not very good, but the overall service from the staff was great.
• YUKA (4/5): - 朝ごはんも美味しいし、見た目も綺麗ですが水割りとエアコンや空気清浄機は「掃除、、、したのかな？」って感じでした。
• Shigehito (8/5): - いつも利用させていただいています。 今回の601号室は、レイアウトが良く、いつもより過ごしやすかったです。それと、TVですが、時々画面に緑色の縦線が1本入るので、故障の兆しがあると思います。
• ひろみ (6/5): - 素泊まりするにはとても良かったです！
• Shigehito (8/5): - いつも利用させていただいています。 便利もよく、スタッフの対応もよく助かっています。
• Shigehito (8/5): - 便利でいつもお世話になります。 今回、シングルルームでしたが、ソファーみたいなやつが置いてあって快適でした。 ただ、もう少し、部屋が明るくなるといいなぁと思いました。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 地點不錯，很便宜，性價比高 - 附近地鐵到JR轉車只要很近便可，推介
• Sachi (10/5): - タクシーの手配をお願いしたのですが、親切に対応していただけました！ 館内もとてもオシャレで地下にあるイートスペースもとても雰囲気がよかったです！
• juei (6/5): - 冷氣濾網沒清都是灰塵 風吹不出來 很吵 馬桶水箱塞子小故障 一直漏水 很吵
• Shigehito (8/5): - 部屋のトイレの便座の蓋が、用を足している最中に倒れてくるのが嫌です（1002号室）
• Ziyuan (2/5): - Dirty as hell, can't believe Japanese standard is like this?
• Aeden (10/5): - Great all around hotel at an even better price. Had a poor stay at another hotel before EN Hotel Kyoto and it's safe to say that it saved the trip. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, good amenities and decent location. Only things is change are putting an outlet in the bathroom and making the bathroom itself a bit bigger. Other than that, I think you’d have a hard time finding a better bang for your buck.
• Andrew (6/5): - The hotel was ok. The WiFi has awful and for travellers from abroad WiFi is pretty key in order to plan your day etc. The hotel was very noisy, as in from your room you could hear everything in the corridor. There was also a smell of smoke when the window was open. Location was good but if you plan to stay for a well, I’d look elsewhere.
• Ray (4/5): - Lots of positives about the place but several things really bothered us during our stay. First, the wifi was horrible for our floor. No connection all the time and had to use our data most of the time. Second, the bathroom is way too tiny even in Japan standard. Lastly, the AC was incredibly loud and many other amenities need an upgrade very soon.
• Ikuo (8/5): - コストパフォーマンスは良かった。
• Shigehito (8/5): - 駅から近く利用しやすいです。 また利用しようと思います
• Helen (10/5): Would stay here again! - This hotel was overall beautiful, great location and comfortable for the 4 of us to stay in 1 room. Keeping in mind everything is just smaller in Japan, that would be my only con is there really is no floor space with 4 beds but other than that I have no complaints. Staff was always nice and helpful!
• Riya (6/5): - Good
• Elicia-Brooke (8/5): - Nice hotel, great location as it’s so close to the bus stops and station which made it easy to get around. The staff were always so pleasant and accommodating, the room itself was a normal size (what you expect in Japan) and the amenities were good. Only wish that they cleaned our room/ bathroom better when we put our sign out as we stayed there 4 nights so fresh sheets and a general clean would’ve been nice but not a deal breaker at all! Also found great little food spots near us and the markets are close by! As well as a family mart right across the street, which was sooo handy! Would recommend for an affordable and nice stay to anyone looking in Kyoto!
• Shigehito (8/5): - ベットがローベットで非常に過ごしやすかったです。ただ、トイレの蓋が、使用時に背中に倒れてくるのがちょっと不満でした。 その他は満足しているので、また利用したいと思います
• Maureen (10/5): - Great location and price. Rooms are small. Recommended.
• Eden (10/5): - Had a perfect stay here, located right next to so many food options, and a bus stop. I'd say the best thing about this hotel is that its located so close to the Nishiki Marke, and sooo many shopping places from designer, vintage, and other name brands. I could shop there forever.
• David (6/5): En Hotel Kyoto - En hotel Kyoto is clean and comfortable in a neighborhood with restaurants and bars. The breakfast set at this hotel is nothing special. The basement “lounge” is dingy and should be skipped. Adequate.
• Claudia (8/5): Con base estaría mejor - El lugar muy bien ubicado pero las camas a nivel de piso no son muy cómodas
• andrewlH7930JG (2/5): Overpriced shoebox - Booked a triple room, which is a single room crammed with small single (not twin) beds. Paid for four (2 adults and 2 children) and was only given breakfast for 3. Unable to open the kids luggage let alone ours. The photos are massively misleading. We have 10 days here :(. +Y6600 accommodation tax for this poor shoebox. Staff are nice, reception is the only large space.
• Laura (8/5): - Nice area and lots of dining options. Small space but functional.
• 647yavanna (6/5): Good location - The best about this accommodation: the Location! A bus stop is just around the corner (1-2 min walk) and the Subway is just a 6-8 min walk away. Very convenient if you need to go to Kyoto Station. A convenience store is just across the street as well as a supermarket. The area is less busy than other parts of Kyoto (Hiagashiyama, Nikishi Market or Gion-Shijo which can be reached easily by bus!) but several restaurants and bars can be found. If you want to send postcards, a post office is just down the street! The hotel itself is good. Complimentary toiletries can be found next to the reception. Staff is very friendly and helpful at all times. Housekeeping does not clean daily but if you put the magnet on the door they will. On request we got additional towels. In the lounge downstairs breakfast is served and in the evening you can go for drinks (little selection) and even bring your own food in case you are on a budget or don’t want to go to a restaurant. The bed was not very comfortable. The double bed contains of two single mattresses. For me, the pillows were a little too stiff. The breakfast is served in a little box (on checkout day it was served on a plate) and it is always the same: a soup (changed daily), a couple slices of fruit, a little salad and three little pastries. So do not expect a buffet.
• Edward (4/5): Overpriced and not worth the money. - The property is not worth staying. I would not come back again. Paid $300/night for a subpar twin room. The issue isn't the service but the actual amenities and room. Few key things of note: -room size and layout: it is barely larger than what APA typically offers for their rooms but it's 3x the $$. ***There is a slight step by the entrance where folks typically put their slippers but unlike most places where you can spot this, it is literally less than a full step away from the door and awkwardly shaped. We almost tripped on TWO occasions coming into the room. -The breakfast: not worth getting. It's one plate of food of which consist of a scoop of garden salad and two small pieces of bread and 2-3 thin slices of orange(they don't even provide half a fruit!) and a small bowl of soup. There was nothing else (no eggs,meat ,rice) Juice was prepackaged. For anyone staying here just avoid the breakfast you'll have more food and options in the middle of a flight. Just go to a 7-11 nearby. The beds:the bed toppers they use are much larger than the mattress. If you sit or sleep anywhere close to the edge you'll slide. The bathroom: it's small, literally one or two small steps are enough to cover the dimensions of the bathroom floor. No extra towels. Toilet: cramped space and the fact that the bidet top that they installed is much larger than the base of the toilet seat will make you feel like You're constantly sliding when sitting on the toilet. This is not comfortable.
• Mana (6/5): - 照明が暗い
• Yi (10/5): - I give it the total score of 4.5 over 5,.so I like it overall . However, it does have a few drawbacks. 1. Bathroom design should be improved for feet and leg safety. 2. Two Laundry machines in the building basement is not enough for so many customers. 3. Although the room is small, no chair is still hard to accepted. The lounge in the basement is crowded sometimes.
• Verified traveler (4/5): 清掃に難ありかもしれません。 - 出張のため、シングル連泊で利用させていただきました。 ホームページの写真から、てっきり窓から外が見えるシングルルームだと思って予約しましたが、案内された部屋は窓を開けるとすぐ向かいの建物が迫っており、朝でも真っ暗でした。 さらに室内の照明が少なく非常に暗くて、目が悪い自分にとっては過ごしにくかったです。 タオルから長い髪の毛が出てきたので気持ち悪く、布団も合わなかったのか下半身が発疹だらけになってしまったので、わけを説明して部屋を変えていただきました。 その際、とても丁寧に謝罪と対応してくださったのは素直に有り難かったのですが、新しい部屋でもまたタオルから長い髪の毛が出てきてショックでした。
• Diane (10/5): - Loved the Japanese style room Hotel staff could not do enough for you
• Ekkarath (10/5): - Great staff, good stay, and convenient location within 15 minutes walking distance to Nishiki Market.
• みほ (6/5): - 落ち着いたホテルで、焼きたてパンの朝食も良かったです。
• Yumi (8/5): - 部屋にソファーなど座るイスがなかったことは少し残念でしたが、スタッフの対応など、とても良かったです。
• ?? (8/5): - バス停からも近く利便性がよかったです。シンプルな客室も使い勝手が良く快適でした。 地下のラウンジでいただけるウェルカムドリンクがサプライズ的で嬉しかったです。 フロント、ラウンジ共にスタッフの方々がにこやに対応されているのが印象的でした。コスパも良いのでま利用させていただきたいです。
• Keiyo (6/5): - The room was a little different from photos (single bed room), the bed was smaller than it looked also cold wind was coming in from the window. Other than that, the whole facility was clean and it was nice to have one free drink at the bar of basement floor.
• Ovidiu (2/5): - The rooms were full of dust, the bed was made up from 4 children's like mattresses that were joined together, making the sleep impossible and the bathroom was really dirty. On top of that, there was not even a seat in the room to stay on and the mattresses were simply put on the floor, accentuating the feeling of dirtiness because of all the dust was at the face level. The room was next to the cleaners' room at the end of the hallway and from very early in the morning, the noise was loud and unpleasant, sealing a night of poor sleep with an early morning abrupt wake. The other hotel inhabitants were noisy up until late in the night and we also got a lot of food smells and smoke from a restaurant below. Really bad experience.
• Yiu Tung (8/5): - The location is good. The staff are nice. The room is clean
• Saleshini (10/5): - A good accommodation
• Mark (6/5): - Location was good about 10 minutes walk from Nishiki Market. Advertised as city view our apartment definitely did not window was frosted glass anyway. But room were clean
• Arielle (6/5): - The room was small for 3 adults but the bathroom wasn’t very clean especially the tub. One night we heard a huge fight going on above us that was alarming and when we requested an extra pillow the staff said no. For the price it is what to be expected but from all of our other stays this one has been so far the lowest on our recommendations.
• JOSEPH (8/5): 3 night stay, nothing special, good for the price - We stayed here for 3 nights. The check in was lovely, and staff were very helpful with storing our bags during the day so we could explore The city. The area around the hotel is great - plenty of shops and restaurants, and a train station just a few blocks away. Unfortunately the room was a bit shabby - the toilet flush was broken and span 360 degrees - getting caught and causing a continual flush after we used the toilet for the first time. The handle for the bathroom was also hanging off - all the screws had come loose. I was able to fix these minor problems myself easily - but it’s a shame neither had been caught by cleaners before our arrival. Otherwise the room was perfectly serviceable - if a bit small - but for the price we paid I think it was very reasonable. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for somewhere clean and cheap to stay - and intend to spend most of your stay outside exploring rather than in the hotel.
• Errol (10/5): - Amazing hotel and staff. Would highly recommend. The lounge in the basement was really nice for the crazy hot July days to give you a nice cool place to recover for the days adventures.
• Nvgaurav (6/5): Basic Hotel with Minimum or No service. - Its an OK joint to be in, do not carry very high expectations with this hotel. Rooms are small with only basics, basic to the extent that the cleaning is limited and they do not even change your sheets. If you are looking at a place to crash for the night then it will do the job but I think you can get better places for the money. Carry Multi USB charging device as they had 1 plug available. You have to pay for extending your checkout (1100 Yen per Hour) You have to pay 2400 Yen as a Kyoto Accommodation Tax which we were never advised of at the time of booking (booked via 3rd party) They do have a small cafe in the basement with very limited/basic brekky options. We went to Egg n Things & Holly's Cafe for Breakfast mostly.
• Katrina (4/5): - 我和爸媽一起住一個晚上，在零晨2，3點時我爸爸上廁所時就被門邊整傷腳趾，流血不止。房內無電話可使用，去到大堂只有一個牌告知有需要請打電話。相信大家現在旅行電話絕大部份都只有流量并沒有通話功能。只好攞錢再去便利店買消洗止血用品回來再打算。我們前後落大堂數次，一直無人。直到後來止不到血，再落大堂決定用前枱電話打出。在電梯開門的時候聽到一點聲音，我嘗試大叫小房內是否有人，叫了很多聲，終於有人回應及走出來，最後接近2小時終於叫到救護車來。而爸爸的腳縫了16針，整個旅程都燬了。 酒店的問題： 1：前台半夜無人，電話應放在枱上，以防客人沒有電話可以。 2：房內無電話，想打電話要 求救都不可以。 3：并沒有醫藥箱或AED機在明顯位置，沒有搵到相關位置放在哪。 4：酒店讓爸爸在房內，休息到下一間酒店的可以入住為止。但并沒有為事件道歉或其他。 因為我其後住了幾間酒店，再沒見過廁所門邊是有門軌，都是平整的門邊。 老人家一同入住，我不建議。
• Allen (4/5): - Drain had flies coming out of it
• Marissa (8/5): - Nice hotel and easy access to tourist attractions.
• Aimee (10/5): Convenient, clean + modern - Convenient location, clean and modern hotel. Small but comfortable rooms. Simple breakfast included (croissant, fruit, soup, coffee).
• GERALD (8/5): - Basics (e.g., hot pot, tv, wifi, and tub) are great. What's not so great is the up step going to the bathroom (a design problem?).
• Kristie (2/5): - Not clean, wifi was awful when it worked, rooms were small and the bathroom smelled like urine. Poorly insulated and no amenities
• PIYUSH (8/5): - Good experience but room for improvement.
• Sivashankaran (10/5): Nee year stay - Clean and spacious
• Therichpeasant (8/5): Great Location & Friendly Staff Make it a Decent Choice - I spent three nights at the Court Hotel. It is in a convenient location about two blocks from Shijo Station, and an easy walk to downtown Kyoto, Nishiki Market and Gion. As a bit of an older building (they use an old-fashioned physical key system, and the guest needs to turn in the room key every time you leave the hotel),the rooms are quite spacious for a Japanese hotel. Despite the size of the room, there is no closet or storage space. The bed is comfortable and they provide nice, Western style pillows (as opposed to the hard flat pillows in some Japanese hotels). Very friendly staff. They also provide robes and slippers, toiletries (no body lotion), kettle and fridge.Only green tea is provided (no coffee or bottled water). While strong, the wifi is not very secure, as no password is required, in either the room or the lobby. Overall, I was very happy considering the price point, which is quite low for a major city.
• RZN1 (6/5): Value for money - The hotel is located in a quite secluded section of Kyoto city. From the train station to the hotel, it will be a 30 minutes walk. However, there are a number of subway stations nearby which will require 5-10 minutes of walk. The hotel does not allow early check-in, therefore you may need to store your luggage with their reception. We requested a late checkout but was denied because the hotel is fully booked. The downside as most of the hotels in Japan is the language barrier. The staff only understands basic English. We had a number of misunderstandings especially with regards to the baggage postal services and some inquiry missing items in the room. The staff tried their best but sometimes it can be frustrating at times as it can cause you unnecessary stress during your vacation. Is it value for money, yes, considering it is close to the convenince store and located in the city center.
• Tong998 (8/5): Comfortable stay - We stayed here 4 nights. The breakfast was average with not much choice for western tastes but then that I guess is part of the adventure. Gion is about 30 minutes walk and certainly worth it. The staff at the hotel were very helpful with minimal understanding of English but will do their best to help you. The green tea in the hotel room is very good.
• ZappaPerth_australia (8/5): Second stay, great location - We stayed here in 2011, great location, staff great but hotel starting to get tired. We stayed for 6 nights in early May.No complaints about the cleanliness, our rooms and bathroom were spotless. As part of our stay was during Golden Week the first couple of nights price was very high but then dropped down to what was very reasonable. Would recommend but do not expect 4*, basic and comfortable with great access to public transport etc.
• ElizabethD2032 (4/5): Location was good - while location was very good the hotel itself was far from good. Room was very small (smaller than other hotels we stayed) but the bathroom was extremely small ( only about 4.5 feet square) it was actually smaller than hat you get on a cruise ship,was not worth what we paid. Staff were very helpful when we had to leave to return home unexpectantly
• SMWong388 (8/5): A little pricey - We stayed at the Court Hotel Shijo Central for 3 nights. The hotel is located on the side street if the busy Shijo shopping and restaurant area, near the famous Nishiki shopping and eating arcade and Pontocho food alley, and is easily acessible by subway or buses from Kyoto station. The hotel looks nice from outside. However, for the price, the rooms are small and furnishing is old. The beds are soft and very uncomfortable. It would otherwise be a convenient place to stay.
• TexasToot (4/5): Keep scrolling- this place wasn’t good - Old and worn out hotel, the place seemed clean but was lacking! We stayed over a busy weekend in Kyoto so the rates were higher than they should reasonably charge for this place. The bed was so old that it sunk to the floor when you sat in it. The make up mirror had a task light to use with it... the room was so tight that you could hardly walk around, and the staff was not so friendly. The bathroom was very clean, but it’s tiny- like inside a small RV, notice the step up into it in the photo! No storage space for anything!! I am sad this was our lodging for Kyoto weekend, if I had booked earlier in the week, I would have found a lovely spot for the price that they gouged us with! Breakfast is not included.
• riteshpatni (2/5): Worst place. Don't stay ever - Very low grade. Such a poor place that light in the room is not sufficient, I had to use mobile light sometime. Dust, lose and noisy bed, no water glass even. Hotel staff is rude and do not accommodate ur basic needs. Ask for extra pillow and hotel denied for it. Never recommended!!
• Jeffong999 (8/5): Great location but missing something - I stayed at the Court Hotel Kyoto Shijo for 4 nights recently while visiting Kyoto. I really loved how centrally located the hotel was for the sites and places I wanted to visit while there. My friend and I got into Kyoto at around 10:30pm and we were concerned that the lobby would already be closed but calling ahead, we were told the lobby was open 24 hours. When we checked in, they didn't have any more non-smoking rooms (which we reserved) so we were very disappointed with that. The good thing was when we got to our room, the smoke smell wasn't too strong and the next day when housekeeping cleaned, the smell was virtually gone. Thinking about it now, I don't actually believe they have any non-smoking rooms available or like maybe just 1 for the whole hotel! I found the room to be adequate for the price point paid and got all the amenities one would expect to find in any hotel. However, if you want coffee, you need to get it from the lobby as they only provide tea in the rooms. As many have said in previous reviews, the location of the hotel is awesome. Walking 20-30 mins in either direction can get you to at least one tourist attraction. There are a number of good, decently priced, restaurants very near by as well.
• Inspire135363 (6/5): Good location, service needs improvement - Very ideally located close to the bus stop and city center. There's a familymart branch right across the hotel, and a grocery that's open 24 hours located across Family Mart on the other side of the main road. Meals are 30% off at night in the grocery store btw. The bus station is literally a few steps away. The city center with the malls, nishiki market, restaurants, is 1.5 km away. We walked from here back to our hotel a few times. Gion, Ninenzaka, even Arashiyama is one bus ride away. But they need to improve on their service. Reception didn't speak much english. Which was kind of difficult since we stayed 6 days and couldn't figure out how to ask for stuff. We stayed 6 days and while the cleaning was okay most of the days, there was one day I knew the cleanig person didn't change our sheets. My kid peed on the sheets the night before and I was expecting room service to replace the sheets. But when we got back after going around Kyoto the sheets still smelled of my daughter's pee, it's the same sheets! Did't bother calling staff because it was late. Made me wonder if they didn't change the sheets the other days too lol or what kind of cleaning they do to the toilet. They have nice bath products though!
• HansGruberLives (8/5): Great location - This place was perfect except for the fact that the beds could not be put together, and when trying to get here using Google maps, it brought us to the wrong place. Also, nobody at the reception spoke any English at all. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.
• kwentuhero (8/5): Competitive rate with good location - I stayed in this hotel for only one night. It has the cheapest rate comparing to other nearby hotels. The room is just right for 3 adults with small kid. We had a good sleep after the whole day exhausted but enjojable tour around Kyoto. The hotel has a good location for foods and accessible by many buses routing Karasuma. However, Bus 50 stops near the hotel. Also a walking distance to train station going to Arashiyama. I personally love the complimentary sweet rolls and the green tea!
