Hotels near Gojo Station, Kyoto

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. That day, I traveled all the way from Wakkanai after visiting Cape Soya, then flew from Chitose Airport to Osaka, and finally arrived in Kyoto. I was incredibly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Beyond the usual tea bags and shower gel found in Japanese hotels, this place offered premium amenities like bath salts. But the best part was that this hotel has a 'power on' system for the room key! This meant I could leave the room with my card, and the electricity wouldn't shut off! You could also tell the local environment was pretty good; the birds on the street weren't afraid of people at all. They'd walk right next to the sidewalk, and wouldn't fly away even when people passed by.

The room was quite spacious, and the service was excellent. They even did a small farewell ceremony when I checked out. In the evenings, there's complimentary drinks and udon noodles. It's less than a minute from the subway station, and there's a convenience store right across the street. Nishinenzaka and Sannenzaka are just about a 10-minute walk away! Absolutely fantastic.

Self check-in was a breeze. The room was quite small, but since it had a tatami mat, it was still enough space. The cleanliness was just okay; it didn't look as new as in the pictures. There were no slippers or bottled water, so you need to bring your own. The main highlight is definitely the excellent location in Shijo, making it convenient to get anywhere. Great value for money.

i love this place. The accommodation is clean and equipped for basic meal preparation and washing machine. The location is excellent and very strategic, as it is within walking distance of major tourist attractions such as Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Shrine, as well as shops and lively streets. The check-in process is easy and straightforward. Each floor has a designated area where guests can temporarily store their luggage if they arrive early or after check-out. This allows you to leave your bags and return a few hours later to collect them. However, the luggage area is unattended, so it is advisable not to leave any valuables in your bags. We can see the Shrine from our window!

The hotel's location is excellent, just a hundred meters from five subway exits. It's super convenient to get to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, and Kamo River is right outside the door for a stroll. The room was quite spacious, with a corner sofa and a separate toilet and shower. When I stayed, it seemed like the hotel was fully booked with many guests, but the service remained very organized. Especially at breakfast, there was hardly any waiting, and if I needed anything, the front desk was quick to assist.

🏠 Room: The double bed is 1.8 meters wide, and the room is about 25 sqm. There's plenty of space, even with two suitcases open. The bathroom truly has a three-part separation! The bathtub and shower area are separate (finally, no more showering while standing in the tub!), the vanity is spacious, and there's a niche next to it for toiletries. ✨ Service: Check-in and check-out are handled at the front desk on the 8th floor. You can store your luggage on the 1st floor after checking out. After 2 PM, complimentary snacks and drinks are available on the 3rd floor. On sunny days, they even light an outdoor bonfire where you can roast marshmallows! Daily housekeeping ensures a very comfortable stay. 📍 Location: Conveniently located between Sanjo and Shijo, making it easy to get anywhere. 🚇 A 5-minute walk to Kawaramachi Station and a 10-minute walk to Sanjo Keihan Station. 🏮 Within walking distance of Takase River, Kennin-ji Temple, Hanamikoji Street, Gion, Yasaka Shrine, and more... 🛍️ Takashimaya, Marui Department Store, and drugstores are all nearby. 🍣 Plenty of restaurants in the vicinity, offering diverse options from breakfast to late-night snacks.

Unfortunately, it wasn't great value for money. After looking at many hotels, I finally booked this one mainly because of its Japanese style. 1/ Service: The front desk service was very 'Japanese English.' They didn't speak Chinese, and their English was just okay. Check-in was fine, but they weren't very helpful with other inquiries. Also, Japanese hotels are strict about check-in and check-out times, so remember to be punctual. 2/ Room: Not good. The layout was poor. Personally, I'd rate the room type I booked as three-star at best. It's definitely not worth 1000 yen. 3/ Location: It's alright, but the izakayas nearby weren't fun or good. I tried a few and wouldn't recommend them. 4/ Bonus points: The hotel offers free luggage storage and free bicycle rental, which you can even use after check-out. There's also a hot spring bath (onsen) – I didn't go, but I heard it's tattoo-friendly, which is a plus.

I’m from Thailand and have been familiar with ASAI for some time. When I discovered a location in Kyoto, the city that I wanted to revisit after 10 years, I didn’t hesitate to book my stay. I’m glad I made that choice. The service was exceptional, and some of the staff were even fluent in Thai. The amenities in my room were excellent and very useful. The room was spacious enough for a solo traveller, especially since I had a double room. Breakfast was served as a set meal, where you could choose one option from the menu, but that was perfectly fine. The location is strategic, as it is near bus stops and train stations, allowing you to select your preferred mode of transportation. However, keep in mind that some guests may have a longer walk from the station, depending on where you disembark. It's a shame I only spent 2 nights here because I was also staying with my friend at her place. Next time, I will definitely come back to stay here longer! 🙂

Overall, this hotel is fantastic. Firstly, the location is superb. Situated near Shijo in Kyoto, it offers extremely convenient transportation. The subway station is just a short walk away, and its proximity to a commercial district makes shopping incredibly easy! Secondly, the room itself was impeccable. It was exceptionally clean, tidy, and comfortable. The twin room we booked was also quite spacious, significantly larger than typical Japanese hotel rooms, and offered great value for money. A truly excellent hotel, highly recommended!

Facilities: Well-equipped, spacious room with a cozy wooden design. Hygiene: Very clean, and the bathroom is large. Environment: Very close to the subway station, and the surrounding area is quiet. Service: Very welcoming, and they even gave us a small gift.
