GREAT STAFF AND LOCATION!
I love the location which is close to Nishiki Market and the bus stop. Very safe neighborhood for a solo traveler and the staff is very helpful. Tanaka san was very helpful when I called over the telephone about my checkin with my limited Japanese proficiency.

Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were very clean. Just enough space for luggage and hanging out in the room. Washrooms were clean and the tub was a nice size. The area is very convenient. Family Mart just around the corner. Not too far from Kyoto station, or the local subway.
Abagail, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is in close proximity to all the tourist areas but just far enough away that we do not have to face the crowd every day.

Great Stay in Smile Kyoto Shijo
Spacious room for 3. Near to Nishiki market and subway station but 40mins walk to Kyoto station. Bus stop across the road to bring you to Kiyomizu Temple
Anna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay
In my opinion, this was the perfect location for a hotel in Kyoto. It’s a few minutes away from a subway station and right next to a bus stop that can take you anywhere in the city. The hotel itself was really nice and clean, and the room was spacious.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice property. Very spacious for my family of 4. We had 4 twin size beds so all of us could get a good night sleep after all of our adventures and walking.
PAUL, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is average. first day we had the breakfast, food was cold. I think someone informed the staff re. Cold breakfast because they added the warmer the next day. Breakfast has lots of selection but if you stay more than 4 days, it will be monotonous. Super grocery store is just infront of the hotel with lots of great selection. Bust stop is few steps in front of the hotel and convenient to got to different attractions.
