Kyoto Shinmachi Rokkaku Hotel grandereverie

Located in a quiet location a few blocks away from Nishiki Market. Lots of local restaurants, cafes, and bakeries nearby. The hotel is very discreet tucked between 2 other businesses. It is 5 stories high but you wouldn't really know just by looking at the outside. Reception area had a calm, relaxing atmosphere with snacks and drinks for guests. Check-in area was small, manned by 1 personnel. They were all very fluent in English and very warm and welcoming. We booked a double room and I would say for all the hotel rooms we booked in Japan (including Tokyo and Osaka), this hotel room was the biggest and most comfortable we have ever been in. All the amenities were fantastic--spacious bedroom, bathroom, and toilet. Everything was clean and pristine! I would definitely recommend this place if you want a place to relax in after a long day of walking around Kyoto.

There was no breakfast available in the hotel but I wouldn't say that was bad since there were a lot of local restaurants and cafes in the area!

We missed out on accommodation at our favourite hotel and were so disappointed to have to get a new one. Those feelings very quickly disappeared when we walked into this room. Omg it is amazing! Huge, clean, pretty, everything you can imagine! Even the bathroom is the nicest one we’ve ever seen anywhere around the world! Loved it so much we cancelled our next hotel and stayed in Kyoto one more night just so we could stay here longer! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Even booked us taxis and told the drivers where we wanted to go!

It’s a little far from Kyoto station but you can walk to the subway about 30 minutes away. Also very close to that shopping place (can’t remember the name but it’s famous)
