Guest Reviews

• Teresa (6/5): - Be aware that the check in process for this property is not straightforward. You need to head to their office need the station and checkin there first before they provide you access to a shuttle bus that takes you to your property. We had a family room booked but space in the room was very, very tight as we had a double bed, and then 2 x sofa beds, in a very small space. I booked this property mainly for the location and for laundry facilities. Location was great, walking distance to lots of great sites and restaurants. Laundry facilities need attention. The laundry room was quite unclean. Both the washing machine (400 yen) and dryer (100 yen) require coins but there is no change machine onsite. The only way to get coins is to put any non Japanese cash you have into the money change machine and get coins back. The exchange rate offered is terrible but if you need coins, this is the only option without leaving the property. Lastly be aware that the dryers are not the efficient ones we are used too. It takes at a minimum 2 x goes to dry even a small amount of washing. I would be unlikely to stay here again as I suspect there are better options available.
• Zen (8/5): - We got to suite with the double bunk beds, which was great for 2 adults and 2 kids. Not a lot of room, so we used one of the lower bunks for luggage. Otherwise we would have to give up a sofa for luggage. By doing this, we had plenty of room to sit around and relax, eat, ect. Enjoyed having the extra bar space with hot water maker and fridge/microwave. Full size trash cans which were convenient. Nice Toto bidet and the separate wet room was nice. Great location, Walkable to the subway, convenience store and most places we wanted to visit. Check-in was a bit confusing as we had to meet at a separate building across the street from Kyoto train station. It was difficult with our luggage, and the rest of the family stayed downstairs with the luggage to wait as I checked in. Detailed and lengthy process, but access into the facility was all electronic. No staff on-site, but it wasn't an issue for us. Laundry and dryer available, as well as locks to hold luggage after check-out (which often looked full). Would stay here again!
• Thenappan (4/5): - Check-in procedure was painful and confusing. It took about 3 hours in total from locating the place to completing the paperwork. Took another hour to figure out the shuttle to get to property. This made me miss a booked event on that day. Upset with this whole experience.
• Joshua (6/5): - The hotel had a musky smell to it which was not pleasant. Checking in was interesting to say the least. Check in is a seperate building accross town which is near the train station so it wasnt that bad. The staff were nice and the have plenty of couches and a small kid corner to keep kids occupied while you check in. Free shuttle bus from check to hotel only. It will not take you anywhere else. The room itslelf was the worst of our trip so far. The beds were rock hard and room had that musky order. The bathroom heater was on which may have caused it and after a few min of the a/c being on it went away. The pull out sofa bed was a joke. The cushions are what you lay on. It is not flat and is like laying on ply wood. We had our kids sleep on it and we gave them all the extra pilllows just to make it comfortable. Its got what you need for a decent price in the area. Close to downtown, shopping and train station, just wished it didnt smell and the beds were not rock hard and i would have given this place 5 stars.
• Stephanie (8/5): - Very nice room and great hotel location!
• Shannon (8/5): - A bit annoying that check in is off site, but they were very fast to answer calls and chats via Expedia when assistants needed. The room smelled of cigarette and they were prompt to off air purifying. Clean and well stocked room.
• Louie (6/5): - The check-in process was painful. It was long and needed to enter my own information. Room is small and dusty. There is no room service therefore you need to keep your clean and clean your own towels.
• David (10/5): - Wonderful residence stay in Kyoto! The room was clean, with great amenities and everything you need to cook simple meals. Comfortable beds and the location was great. The only negative was that it smelled and felt humid and damp but it was also very rainy all weekend so I don’t think it could be helped. Overall I would return! Thank you for the hospitality.
• diana (10/5): - Really nice place
• Eugenie (10/5): - It was great! Overall experience was great - check in staff, free shuttle to hotel, communication, room itself. Only thing is that there was a used but dried towel hanging on the shower rack from previous tenants or cleaning staff
• Jamie (10/5): - Reception is great, good deal and clean place
• Debbie (10/5): - The hotel staff were very kind and helpful to us during our stay and answered any questions/concerns we had promptly. My daughter accidentally dropped her earring down the bathroom sink and the hotel staff went out of their way to help us retrieve it! Very impressed by how helpful they were! Also, really convenient that the hotel is very close to several Daily Yamazaki/7Eleven/Family Mart. My family was able to grab snacks, coffee, and desserts at any time! And the downtown shopping area is nearby at a walkable distance from the hotel. Another nice amenity was that, at the end of our stay we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel upon checkout and lock it up free of charge! Very cool amenity to have so hotel guests can further enjoy/explore Kyoto. Overall, really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would stay here again!
• Thomas (10/5): - Amazing location. Walkable to restaurants, shops and trains. Our room was quiet, comfortable and clean.
• Marisela (10/5): - Great Hotel
• joseph (6/5): - Bed was uncomfortable. One side of the bed felt sunk down and gave me a few aches in the morning (thanks alcohol). Other side was fine. Overall, the space was large and the accommodations were nice.
• Zahraa (10/5): - Such a nice place to stay. Very clean. Bigger than all the other rooms we stayed in this trip. Great location.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This place is very nice, comfortable, super clean and quiet. The service is excellent too. We loved it!
• Jocelyn Pui Yin (10/5): - The check-in process was located away from the property but we were given very clear instructions on where to go. The whole process was very smooth and easy and the provided shuttle to the property was awesome. The room itself was very clean and all amenities were easy to find. A coin laundry was located in the building and instructions on how to use them were clear. Would have been nice to have a coin exchange. There was a currency exchange machine but as the laundry machines only took coins, it was occasionally difficult to find enough coins.
• Diana (10/5): - My kids loved the projector and sleeper sofa. It was a really comfortable cozy room and after a long day of sight seeing, coming home to this cozy room was very nice and relaxing.
• Ma Jasmin (8/5): - It’s a good place. The only thing is taxi drivers can’t find this hotel. I dont know why. But it’s a very convenient hotel. With everything inside each rooms like kitchen utensils. You can even cook in the room theres an electric range. Bathroom’s nice too
• Valentina (10/5): - Helpful staff, comfortable and clean accommodation. Well equipped with toiletries, hair dryer and luggage storage.
• Koichiro (10/5): - とても機能的な宿でした。宿泊中の清掃がないなど、機能をしぼりつつも、とても快適で便利な滞在ができる工夫がされていたように思います。近くにはいくつか駐車場もあり、最大料金が設定されている場所も多く、車の利用も便利でした。
• SHUK (8/5): - good value for money and great communication
• erin (8/5): - Very well thought out studio type hotel room, with extra touches to make ones stay convenient like a hot plate, separate sink for washing dishes and food, microwave, etc... Location was excellent. The check in process of being off-site is cumbersome if you are not going through Kyoto station already, however they were helpful and being able to store luggage while site seeing prior to check in was appreciated. Great stay overall!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent place to stay—I highly recommend it. Wonderful location!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Resi stay Higashiyama, see you again soon ! - The apartment type hotel was perfect. It was small but efficient. It had a little kitchen equipped with everything we needed to cook, a microwave, stove top, hot pot, pan, dishes, utensils, and fridge. Even had a washer. Near grocery store and eateries. Train station in walking distance. The only glitch is the check in counter was a bit away. It's across Kyoto station and closed at 2000. It required us to take a short trip on a train to get to it the next day as we arrived after closing. Not too big a deal. We'll definitely stay again.
• Saleem (10/5): Six nights in Kyoto at Resi Stay Higashiyama Sanjo - We stayed for 6 nights in Kyoto. The Resi Stay is a appartment hotel with a functional kitchen, utensils and a clothes washer. Great for a longer stay. Very well located and close to all major bus routes. Large size with a small dining table so makes an in-house meal possible. Highly recommended.
• Bert (10/5): - Great location for an apartment-style accommodation. Highly recommend.
• Kevin (10/5): A great place to stay near downtown Kyoto - An excellent value (we got a special rate for choosing the "no cancellation" option) within walking distance of a lively part of downtown Kyoto and the subway. Room, beds, shower, and kitchen were all good. The Reception/Check-in office was a little tricky to find at night -- maybe a big lit-up sign outside the office building would help? But the staff were friendly and helpful and it was convenient getting a shuttle ride to the actual hotel from the Reception Office. We stayed 17 days in total in Japan and 3 nights here -- this was probably our best hotel, especially for the price.
• Eric (10/5): - Very clean, big and close to public transportation
• TAMMY (10/5): Wish I could ResiStay forever! - My sister and I loved every part of our stay here. Amazing service, location, and a 4 star room. High quality and attention to detail in everything. Super comfortable beds; quiet and convenient location; fast WiFi, useful information book, and so great to have a kitchenette, couch, dining table, and laundry machine. I could seriously live at ResiStay!
• Chih (10/5): - Decent size room for family of four. Beds are comfortable and within walking distance to Sanjo tourist street. Subway stations are also nearby enabled us to get to touristic sites easily.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Stayed here for 4 days. My family really enjoyed the play although it is a little small for 3 adults. Room very clean, nice, bright with a small balcony. Free washing machine in the room with free detergent which was a surprise plus!. Tricky to find the Resi Stay reception near Kyoto Station, but info desk in the station helped. Free one way shuttle to the hotel. Hotel conveniently located near Subway and bus station, 5-10 minutes walk. Had a small kitchenette, microwave/toaster and fridge. No time to cook though. Would definitely stay here again next time.
• Alina (10/5): - The best ever, like local apartment. Very good experience and great location.
• Tong (10/5): Amazing hotel, extremely friendly & helpful staff - The service desk is one of the best we have had, they have helped ya with so much. Totally going over and above for us during our stay. One of the best customer service I have ever had from a hotel. Room is decent, location is very close to a station. So can’t fault it
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room is clean, spacious and is located near metro stations. There is no room service and the check-in is located outside Kyoto station. Hotel provides a shuttle service to the hotel after check-in.
• Matthew (10/5): - Check in is at a seperate location, however they will shuttle you professionally to the property after check in! Location is amazing, many shops and restaurants less than a 10 minute walk away. There are also a few convenience stores very close by. The room was clean and a nice place to unwind after a long day. For the price, the location and amenities are hard to beat.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent location, clean and comfortable, You will check in at a different location but they offer a shuttle service which is very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps etc. our room was comfortable. The building is located in a quiet street yet very close to the main attractions. You will be in the Gion district with a lot to see and do.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and great value. We could walk to most of the sights we wanted to see in Kyoto. The room was comfortable with an excellent balcony, kitchen, bath, laundry.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful rooms, off the beaten path, with a nice, quiet environment that's hard to come by in Japan. Overall, our favorite spot to stay in Japan (so far!).
• Verified traveler (6/5): - It was very hard to find the check in counter, upon arrival the office was extremely crowded. It would of been nice to have a shuttle upon checkout back to the Kyoto station area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing! We had a great stay again with RESI Stay. We hope to come back again soon!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - have to walk distance for register n extra pay for tax
• Beverley (10/5): Great self-catering option - Loved staying here. Compact and functional kitchen area with washing machine and instructions for use of all appliances in English. Small balcony from sleeping/dining area for drying clothes and/or relaxing. Easy walking to MRT and various bus routes in both directions and many restaurants and a pub on Sanjo-dori. Check out the great coffee shop on the intersection with Sanjo-dori and the street to the right of the building as you leave it. Within walking distance of Gion and the shopping districts.
• Chi-Chih (8/5): - I stayed in RESI STAY Higashiyama Sanjo for the conference. Overall it is great. However, the microwave in my room was broken (but not a big deal as I ate out most of the time). And please note that there are stairs at the front door so it's not wheerchair nor stroller friendly.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Location, clean and recently renovated. Storage room
• Tania (10/5): Good little apartment in Kyoto - We liked our little apartment. It was close to Sanjo station, a short walk to Gion and shopping in Kyoto. A short walk to lots of restaurant choices so only used the kitchenette for one dinner and breakfasts. The first morning we woke up to throat singing chanting which we think was from one of the nearby temples (after8am) We hired bikes through resi stay- the seats were however very uncomfortable and we needed a couple of days rest in between use but still was really good to ride around Kyoto - we rode to imperial palace, along the river and to Fushimi Inari Taisha within 2 days out of 5 use it was cheaper then other bike hire. Bed was the softest and most comfortable bed we had in Japan out of 5 different accommodations. A little score less as there was a fair bit of water in toilet floor when we arrived (not sure why.. possibly a bidet accident when cleaning?) however otherwise the apartment was clean looking and air conditioner and other air conditioners in apartment block were a little noisy - we didn’t need to use as the apartment was warm when we arrived home after sightseeing daily. We stayed in superior room and second bed (which was more firm) was good to have space for our bags. We would recommend.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly and welcoming staff at reception. The place was in a good location.
• betty s w (8/5): Convenient location - Close to shopping and transportation. We have to do check in at the hotel office and take the subway to the hotel.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Location was at a residential area. We had to walk 2 blocks to the main road to find a taxi.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, very clean, great communication with operators.
• Adrian (10/5): Excellent stay - Excellent place! Appreciate that they even have a washer for laundry, definitely worth the price. The room is clean and decor is up to date.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly and helpful reception and easy check in. Location was handy base for transport.
• YCLiew (8/5): - Good location, clean and prompt reply for all the enquires. Keep up the good job!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked having the staff guide us directly to the property.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything was great, except that Expedia did not show you have to oh a CITY TAX of $20 us dlls per person, per night, we stayed 4 nights, that was an additional $40 per night. I wonder if I had booked a hotel if we would have had to pay that or if it was already included???
• Verified traveler (10/5): Family Hotel - Location is good. The room is clean, comfortable.
• PoYuan (10/5): - Great 3-night stay in amazing apartmentel! When you arrive make sure to first check in at the reception office conveniently located across the street from Kyoto Station, where you'll register, pay the city hotel tax and be given entrance key code and instructions on getting the room key on the premises. Staff is able to communicate well in English! If yourtiming is not good
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Space is a little bit small for 4 person with 3 luggage.
• Dillon (10/5): Perfect hotel for couples and families - The room was in perfect condition and located in a very convenient area. Party district was just 10minutes away across a bridge but the immediate area around the hotel was quiet and perfect for relaxing. Staff members were also very nice and were more than willing to accomodate my request to stay an extra night. 5/5 perfect place for a family or couple to stay at.
• Ben (10/5): Great place - The place was clean, nice, and a good price for an expensive city. Check-in was tricky because hotels.com sent us to the hotel (there are 15-20), but not the main center. The workers were very accommodating to help us through that process.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice Hotel for family - 離車站非常近，從Check in到住宿地點還有接駁車過去，很適合家庭住宿的飯店
• Verified traveler (8/5): Modern & Small but convenient - Check in was conveniently located across from Kyoto station. We easily took the elevator with our luggage to the office. The receptionist gave us an instruction sheet with codes to enter the building and to retrieve the key from the lock box. A free shuttle took us to the apartment with an English-speaking escort. We were allowed to place our luggage in the storage room, which had locks to secure the suitcases until the room was available. It was easy to take our stuff up in the elevator. The apartment itself was narrow and didn’t allow a lot of room in the kitchen for cooking, but it was great to make our meals. Paper towels and dish towels were provided. Lots of extras toilet paper was provided. Washing machine has an extra long spin mode to dry clothes out enough that it doesn’t take long for them to hang dry. Liquid detergent is provided. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, as was the sofa bed. The room had cramped quarters for a family of three, and even though we had only carry on sized suitcases it was difficult to wrestle them into the apartment and access our belongings. Convenient to the apartment were: (1) a charming old public bath house just across the street. It’s old but squeaky clean! (2) convenience stores on sanjo dori (3) Fresco supermarket along the river street going north (4) Sanjo Station for subway or Keihan train line (5) bus stops (6) tourist sites galore.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Convenient location, good for 2 person in a room. W
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent! They even provide free transport to send you to hotel from Kyoto station
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall experience was good but do note Resi Stay will not provide any cleaning service during your stay duration.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to subway and Gion. A lot of places are within walking distance.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Convinient, clean spacious and nice area. Had a good time
• Michael (10/5): Excellent Place! - Great spot, excellent location, comfortable beds, clean and modern!
• Yam Khoon (8/5): - comfortable place to stay. very quiet surroundings. plenty of choice for food if you walk more than 10mins away. the only downside is check-in is centralized near Kyoto Station. it is a bit difficult to locate. the good thing is we manage to catch the free shutter to send us to place we are staying.
• Jia Ren (8/5): - It was very good experience to stay in this joint, location is very convenient, the room is cozy, layout is superb, making our stay very comfortable, the reception counter was a bit far off...
• Kah Shoon (4/5): Deceived - Check in location is far away from the accommodation itself which made it a bad stay. Was not told of this condition before booking.
• Aisyah (10/5): - Close to the subway and walking distance to the Nishiki Shopping district/ Market as well as several famous tourist attractions. Own washing machine but without dryer; they provide a balcony to hang the laundry.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - BEST place to stay in Japan - wish I had known about Resi stay in other cities! it is an apartment with washer! MUCH bigger than most accommodation in Japan. would go back here without hesitation.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - They called me once to check If I was the person who checked in their room and I didn't understand why. In addition they do not have any extra amenities available if you need them.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great place but hard to find the check in office - Great location but difficult to find check in counter
• Simon (10/5): Highly recommended, convenient place to stay. - Excellent and convenient place for a family to stay with its own mini kitchen. minutes from Keihan Sanjō station (exit 1), and the shop on the corner also does great yakisoba! The apartment has a washing machine and there is a laundromat with drying facilities about 10 mins away. You just have to remember that you need to check in across from Kyoto Station first before going to the apartment.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Kool kyoto - Very nice
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great apartment and location. Good price too. Very helpful staff nice and close to the station.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent concept for a longer stay. Instead of having hotel service we had our own kitchen and washing machine where we could do our own laundry after a week of being on the road. Apartment was also very clean and spacious and in a good location. Highly recommend!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, big roon, we highly recommended on this hotel
• Ashley (10/5): Great place and location - Great stay. Be sure you read the emails and check in by the train station when you arrive. Super location, but be careful. There are 3, the should use what3words addresses so it’s easier to find them all!
• Jane (10/5): - Good location near metro and multiple bus stops. Loads of convenient stores around. 10mins walk to downtown. Very clean and comfy room environment. Good sound-proofing, quiet at night.
• Liliana (10/5): - Great accommodation and location. Having a washing machine is so convenient. The beds were very comfortable the best we had in Japan.
• C (10/5): - Quite spacious, comfortable bed and pillows, convenient location.
• Sue (10/5): - Very nice apartment style hotel in a very convenient location. Slightly away from the noisy and busy kyoto downtown area but still walkable to the Gion district and nishiki market and shopping arcade area. Few steps to Sanjo Station and bus stops which takes you to most tourist attractions. Very nice of hotel to provide bus map in their info book in the rooms. Bike rentals are also available. We enjoyed our stay here.
• elizabeth (10/5): - Fab location, little bit cramped but bearable for a few nights - bit of a pain booking in somewhere else!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a bit challenging to get to the office for the keys as we had a fair bit of luggage...but, having in unit laundry was awesome!!
• Michael (10/5): Resi-Stay Higashiyama Sanjo, second time!! - We've stayed at this location previously and loved it so much that we sought it out specifically this time too. The best news is that the office was relocated opposite from Kyoto Station which made checking-in so much easier. We were well-briefed on everything from access to bike rentals. Unfortunately the washing machine didn't come with instructions but luckily Youtube has an excellent tourist video on how to use a similar washing machine (We can't read Japanese yet). One is responsible for keeping the unit clean, which we did. The A/C worked very well, as did the WIFI. Our neighbours were all quiet, the area is very scenic and easy to walk through, and the location is great. There are plenty of buses as well as two rail lines to get to the hotel, and lots of places to eat around the area.
• Nicolas (10/5): Cool place in Kyoto - Very cool place, independent apartments. One thing we didn't know: you need to do the check-in at Kyoto station before you get to the apartment. Knowing this would have saved us a trip. Location is correct, with a large busy street full of restaurants within a 10-min walk. Subway station is 5 mins away. Rooms are good and clean enough. The standard apartment for 3 is too small for 3 people, but fits two. Apartment has a washing machine but not place to dry clothes. Had to make do on the balcony.
• Sarah (6/5): Cons beat out Pros - The location of this accommodation is great, and the fact that you can wash clothes is nice (as long as you understand you have to air dry them on the balcony). Also- the room was comfortable and had nice decor. Two significant downsides- the check in procedure is super inconvenient and check out is surprisingly early. These 2 negative factors are bad enough to over shadow the positive.
• Audrey (10/5): - The room was much more spacious than the one found in Tokyo. The two beds form a bed of a good size, but for a couple it is not ideal. The kitchen area is well equipped for four people and we were able to use it easily. Do not forget to go to the reception which is not in the same building otherwise it is inconvenient. The check-out is very simple and the apartment is very clean and very well located.
• Rashaad (10/5): Great stay! - Great experience! They communicated everything effectively and was easy to find the office to check in and to find the building. The room was much more spacious then expected and it was very clean and comfortable. It rained nonstop and the hotel provided complimentary umbrellas which was so nice!
• George (10/5): - Washing machine in room was a life saver. Two room suite with seperate bedroom and kitchen areas. Clean with lots of small amenities. Only downside is zero view. Quiet residential area, but close to subway, Gion, restaurants and shopping streets. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel was at a very reasonable price, it was very clean ! The sofa bed was incredibly spine breaking. You could clearly feel the metal bar against your back. If could definitely be improved ! Also, maybe consider adding English channels to your TV menu.
• Adam (10/5): Comfortable and enjoyable in Kyoto. - Resi-Stay Higashiyama Sanjo, is a little out of the way, but on the Tokai line of the Kyoto Subway. It is a quick trip to the Karasuma Oike line of the Kyoto Subway, making it really easy to get anywhere. There are plenty of supermarkets to access to take advantage of the kitchen in the apartment too. The building is safe and secure and reassuringly, earthquake proof! Highly recommended for families and you can’t go wrong!
• Harry (8/5): - Great location, nice apartment, good value, did not like the raised floor in the kitchen dangerous especially in the dark
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel! Combination of a beautiful hotel and a fun theme. I loved the Giant Godzilla, but also the gorgeous lobby and restaurant.
• Dave (8/5): Nice Place - Check In a pain - Really nice place and good value. Check-in happens at a different location which is awkward when you arrive by train and need taxis with bags there to office and then to head to hotel. Really clean and well organized but please talk a step to make check-in easier. Place a scanner at property and people can scan a copy to you and sign check-in sheet and scan as well. You have everything else there, Lockers for keys and remote code access. I do recommend this property!
• K (6/5): Small for 2 ok - It a cute apt but when we need help we have to make a phone call and talk to other person on other end.
