Kyoto hotels in Shimogyo

Pros: The hotel folks and their customer service was very good.

Cons: I'd booked a large double room on booking.com website and clearly mentioned we were 2 adults and 1 child, 5 years old. When we checked into the property to our surprise we were told the bed was too small to accommodate us and the room was too small too. We were then asked to pay more and take a larger room to accommodate the 3 of us with a larger bed. I then called booking.com Customer service to explain that it wasn't my fault as I'd booked a large Double room for 2 adults and 1 child guests and I was feeling cheated by the hotel to be paying more. I must say the customer service of booking.com is absolutely useless and a waste of my time. I finally spoke to the hotel manager and I did complain about my unhappiness. He then allocated a large double room with a larger bed for us at no extra cost. The folks at the hotel were understanding.

Pros: Very close to Gojo subway station. Many restaurants & shops nearby- 7 Eleven across the road. Room with kitchenette and balcony - spacious. Soundproofing worked well

Cons: Bathroom- combined shower & toilet was a tad small , but adequate. Not an issue for us, but could be for a large person

Pros: Location

Cons: Tried to make us upgrade for small children but room reserved was fine

Pros: - plenty of space - was able to cook - comfortable bed - good money for value restaurants nearby

Pros: Nice breakfast buffet Staff very friendly and tried hard to help point out good sites and spoke English.

Cons: Bath room had strong mildew smell

Pros: Very comfortable with superb amenities. The staff is very friendly and always helping with a smile (and so in the whole Japan). Right next to Kyoto Station, you fall of the bed and you find yourself in the first train to Fushimi Inari :))

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean.

Pros: close to public transport and restaurants, spacious rooms and easy check-in

Pros: Great location

Cons: Rooms are old and over-rated, furniture and carpet is dirty. This is a 3 - 3.5 star hotel, not a 4 star.

Pros: Room design is amazing. Location and easy access to train station.

Cons: Train sound was little annoying at first but you get used to it.

Pros: The location ist unbeatable. Its located just across the Kyoto Mainstation. The Breakfast was also good.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location and excellent ice cream at buffet

Pros: Location Room size English speaking staff Very clean

Cons: 3rd bed for a 3rd person is pull out couch & very hard. Although, I was very happy they even had a 3 person room, so it's not that much of a negative.

Pros: Convenient location.

Cons: No where to have a little breakfast at hotel. One had to buy the buffet. I am only interested in tea and some eggs with veggies or fruit.

Pros: the location was great, just outside of Kyoto Station, you can basically go anywhere in best convenience

Cons: there's nothing really I didn't like about the hotel itself(in fact it's already my second stay here), but I gotta say there's nothing much to do in Kyoto in the nights, maybe that's just because I didn't found the right place to go?......

Pros: Very convenient location. Just at the opposite side to the Kyoto station, which made us could go everywhere we’d like to through train, bus and underground. The staff and service were good.

Pros: Right across the street from central train station. The room we got was a nice size. The hotel is a tad dated but perfect for a few days in Kyoto. Location is fantastic and reasonable price. We were happy!

Pros: The location was convenient to the station, restaurants and post office.

Cons: My daughter's bed had hair in it as though it had not been washed. She slept on top of the bed using the bathrobes for a blanket. The bathroom was moderately clean. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable.

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great, right next to Kyoto station. They stored our luggage for us before we checked in and also after we checked out, so it saved us having to rent a locker at the station.

Pros: Location, location, location. I stayed in a room over watching the Kyoto Station. It really was indescribable.

Pros: The breakfast spread was diverse and a good value. The baths are also luxurious and refreshing. Moreover, the hotel is only a three-minute walk from the Kyoto train station and the vast mall above the station, which offers an array of shopping and dining options.

Pros: Location is fabulous. So convenient right next to Kyoto station. Breakfast is good with variety of choices and onsen is fabulous. Free noodle at night is a plus

Cons: I would not say its good value for money. Its quite pricey but the “premium” word says it all. It isnt a cheap choice. You pay for what you get indeed

Pros: The breakfast was excellence. Also the fact that you have Onsen in the hotel is pretty much great already. The hotel also located next to the train station, which is pretty great when you want to travel around Kyoto area. There is also Lawson groceries on the first floor of the hotel, which is very convenient.

Cons: The air vent in the room's bathroom could use a bit of dust cleaning. Also the air humidifier could use some cleaning.

Pros: great breakfast, and nice hot spring

Pros: great location, good breakfast and facilities.

Pros: onsen and very convenient location

Cons: so far so good

Pros: Very clean room with comfy beds. We stayed in a twin room, although the size is not big, it's definitely larger than most hotel rooms in Japan. Hot spring is nice, especially the outdoor pool. Excellent breakfast to give you a great start in the morning. Free ramen before bedtime. Just 2 minutes' walk to the Kyoto station and Kyoto Tower. Onsite covered carpark.

Cons: A little pricey as tourists rush to Kyoto to see the maple leaves during this time of the year.

Pros: So close to Kyoto station and city buses to go to temples. Nice breakfast. Free Ramen noodles each night which was a real bonus. Free onsen facility was amazing after a tiring day. So many restaurants all around the hotel.

Cons: Would have preferred a chef making coffee for breakfast. The coffee from the machine was bitter and quite tasteless. Have had much better coffee from coffee machines in hotels in Tokyo and Osaka.

Pros: Enjoyable onsen Good breakfast Very good location Very clean Very nice staff

Pros: Location is good fo approach to public traffic services.

Cons: Room space is too small to settle our luggages.

Pros: Good large bath pool and thoughtful late-night supper.

Cons: Space is a bit small to settle our luggages.

Pros: The location is great with easy access to sights, restaurants and shopping. The breakfasts were good but had exactly the same contents each of our 4 days at the hotel. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was very helpful.

Cons: Be prepared for very small rooms. Once we moved in with our two carryons and one medium checked bag, there was no room to sit (other than the bed) and little room to walk. We were exploring the city most of the time so this OK but if you like to hang out in your room, this may not be the place for you.

Pros: Great location and great value for money.

Cons: The room wqs really tiny.

Pros: Great location for tourists. Small rooms, but ok it’s Japan and price is reasonable. Perfectly clean. Can highly recommend it. For couples I would recommend a twin room. Double beds are often only 140cm wide in Japan.

Pros: Favorite hotel we stayed at in Japan. Staff was really nice and helpful. The japenese style room was great, set up so nicely. Did not feel like a hotel, very comfortable. Clean room, bathroom was nice, mini fridge in the room, vending machines and coin laundry in the hallway. Public baths were a fun experience.

Cons: Location is good, lots of shopping near by. Finding the hotel entrance was a little tricky, you need to go down the alley.

Pros: Location, location and location!

Cons: Laundry machine was took 3hrs to dry and made me very westing time and money, I was pretty upset.

Pros: Good location, small compact room, bathroom on the smaller scale, no space to put personal items around basin. Overall good stay.

Cons: The box in the basin

Pros: Great hotel in Kyoto! The Bach theme is really strong throughout the hotel. Location is perfect - steps away from the main shopping district, close to trains, and a short walk to Gion. Staff is super helpful and does speak English. Rooms are very comfortable and we loved the shower and space in the
