Hotel near Karasuma,Kyoto
Rest collection Gion-Shijo Kyoto provides accommodations within 1.1 miles of the center of Kyoto, with free Wifi and a kitchenette with a microwave, a stovetop, and kitchenware. This apartment offers air-conditioned accommodations with a balcony. Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.3 miles away, and Kyoto International Manga Museum is 1.2 miles from the apartment.
At the apartment complex, the units come with a wardrobe. There's a private bathroom with bath in every unit, along with slippers, a hair dryer, and free toiletries. At the apartment complex, every unit has bed linen and towels.
Popular points of interest near the apartment include Gion Shijo Station, Samurai Kembu Kyoto, and Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall. Itami Airport is 29 miles away.
"The unit is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the train station and near a shopping area, with several good eateries nearby. The unit itself is compact — there are only two double beds, two chairs and a small table, which feels a bit cramped for four medium-sized adults. The balcony gets morning sunlight, which is great for drying clothes.
However, the washing machine filter was dirty and required cleaning before we felt comfortable using it. The kitchen utensils provided were minimal — only 3 forks, 2 spoons, and 2 teaspoons, although there were 4 plates and bowls. It wasn’t quite enough for a group of four. There were also no extra garbage bags provided, so by the end of our few days stay, the bin was nearly overflowing.
The beds were on the soft side — which my children enjoyed — but they made squeaky noises when lying down. Also, do note that there’s no front desk service, so luggage storage before check-in or after check-out is not available."

JJulianto Chuen+ this hotel 01 station only from Kyoto Station, using metro and stop at Koji Station , and then walking about 15minutes to the hotel
+ The easy way to reach this hotel is using bus, and stop at Kujo Omiya. Many bus have direct route to Gion, and other tourist spot (about 30 minutes riding). Please take a notes, this hotel is not in tourist area, very quiet and you will meet with many local people here.
+ this hotel have a concierge and standby staff, so you can keep the luggage before checkin.
+ this hotel is very new, i think maybe open early 2026, when we proceed for the check in, the hotel staff gave us some welcoming gift, and we can saw many flowers buoquet there. And the good news, yes they have an elevator, so no issue for thise who bring big luggage
+ Room very clean and tidy. We book for 03 persons, and they prepare room with 04 twin beds (separate 02 rooms). Inside room have bathtub, laundry, kitchen + equipment, and 01 dining table.
+ I think maybe this is the best hotel we stay at Japan. Very modern, all brand new, many USB port inside the room, wifi connection is strong, really quiet and really convenient for stay
+ around 05 minutes walking, you will find japanese ramen noodle resto, and also local mini market.
- a little bit troublesome for communicate with the hotel staff, because when we want to make sure about Yamato Delivery Service to this hotel, it was so hard to reach to hotel staff throung phone / email. When we asking to the hotel staff about this, they said they not receiving any chat from the trip.com / ******* platform. I dont know where is the issue, maybe because this hotel very new or they are not ready yet for the online communication
Please take a notes that you have to pay kyoto city tax. We stay for 02 night, and we pay JPY 1.600 total
Overall it was a nice stay, and definitely really recomend this hotel for stay at Kyoto.

GGuest UserRinn Kyoto Station has an excellent location—less than a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station’s Central Exit, with Lawson and 7-Eleven close by. The provided toiletries were a nice touch, including a comb, eye mask, face cleanser, moisturizer, and bath salts for the tub. The blankets were super comfortable.
However, housekeeping was limited; during our 4-night stay, the room was cleaned only once.
Overall, a convenient and pleasant stay with good amenities, but housekeeping could be improved.

Whether heading out for sightseeing or returning after a long day, transportation was always easy and accessible. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth and hassle-free, with clear instructions and efficient service. Overall, it was a very comfortable and convenient stay, especially for travelers who value accessibility and ease.

GGuest UserVery comfortable beds & futon and enough room in the bedrooms, only negative was the luminous fire exit sign which was so bright when trying to sleep in the night and lots of dust under the beds. Location was lovely and convenient. It’s opposite Ippodo Tea shop which helps to locate the property on this quiet street. The norme hanging in front of the door says “Tsumugi” so we initially weren’t sure we were at the right place. I should’ve checked my emails to confirm we’d arrive directly at the property rather than pick up the key code from the desk at Kyoto station (for some reason I thought the reception was at the property! my mistake!) so we had to wait for someone to cycle over from the station, difficult waiting in the summer heat but also appreciated him peddling there in a hurry! There were only 3 sets of bowls and chopsticks and could have done with a toaster and tea towel for drying dishes as there is no draining rack but otherwise the kitchen was fine for a short stay. It would also be good to have some way of hanging laundry other than the few hangers which I could hook on to the door frames. Despite these little things I would probably stay here again as it was nice and quiet, comfortable, clean, convenient and nice design aesthetics.

GGuest UserI chose this hotel because it is close to the city center. After actually checking in, I found that the location is very convenient. It is only a 5-minute walk from Karasuma Shijo in the center of Kyoto.
Moreover, there is a Lawson convenience store next door to the hotel, which is very convenient. There is also a Michelin ramen shop next door to the convenience store. Although the store was not open during renovations during our stay, we were not late. Come back next time if we have a chance.
The room was very clean and the stay was very comfortable. It is also very convenient to use the password to operate the door lock if you don’t have a room card. You don’t have to worry about losing the room card. I lost my room card in other hotels before and I was compensated 5,000 yen😵💫. Because I don’t have a room card, it is very convenient to check out before the check-out time. That's it. Very convenient.
Because the surrounding public transportation is very convenient to go everywhere, I left my luggage at the front desk on the day of check-out and continued sightseeing in Kyoto for a while before leaving.
The only drawback is that the temple opposite will ring the bell every morning, but as long as it’s not like me who likes to sleep until 10 o’clock every day, it shouldn’t affect it😬

NNattNataliaEverything was perfect, the staff's service was impeccable. A very clean hotel and everything is well-maintained. The location is good, Kyoto Tower is a 5-minute walk away. There are many restaurants in the area. Very close to the hotel, there's a place to eat ramen that is one of the best (Tantanmen Ebisu). 100% recommend this hotel.

GGuest UserThe location was very convenient as it is located just one block from the main street and the train station. However the journey to get the key for the room was a puzzle, they sent the instructions in English but the touch screen was totally in Japanese with no eng option. It wasn't easy to correlate the symbols there with the instructions provided, especially as the key room didn't have air conditioner and the hot air became very soffocating (we suggest to put instructions in English on the side to make this experience bearable)
The room was fine, but it wasn't clean at all and the ceiling had mould on the corners due to poor ventilation. Since day one we found spiders inside the room, probably due to lack of cleanliness. Our daughters and I were bitten by several mosquitoes as well. The toilet space was very miniscule, yet it served its mission. There were not enough spoons and forks for our family even when we specified the amount of people staying in the room. Not to mention the beds were not very comfortable. On the last day, I was very surprised they sent an email requesting to leave before 10 am, mentioning they had a tight cleaning scheduled, we thought it was odd that the departure time was 10 am yet they wanted us to go before that. We had to leave early anyway but we still thought it was odd. But I think the rules just have to be followed and let people leave on the previous time agreed. It was a hotel that served its mission overall and with an excellent location yet the cleanliness and room overall has a lot to make it better for the comfort of its clients... But at this moment I would not recommend this hotel
7.5/10
AAsh412222The location is very good, just a few minutes walk from the subway station, but there are not many food options near the hotel, only convenience stores, and the hotel does not have an elevator. Guests with large luggage need to pay attention, because they need to carry their luggage upstairs by themselves
