Hotel Shikisai Kyoto

I stayed four days in this beautiful and well located hotel in a quiet area with restaurants, shops and konbini around the corner. There are two subway lines a short walk from the hotel but most days I walked to Nishiki market and most places. I stayed at the Japanese style room which was huge yet elegant with comfy beds and pillows! The staff were so accommodating. It is definitely at least a 4- star relative to most places we've stayed in! Will stay here again next time I visit! NA

the wifi and Netflix. also no place to hang towels

Very spacious rooms, clean, laundry present and good location No ice / water machine

Spacious rooms with nice bathrooms and in room laundry

Amazing property, our room was huge like staying in our own apartment. We had everything we needed, staff was super friendly and helpful. great location, only 13 mins by car from the Kyoto train station and very walkable to other areas like Gion. Would highly recommend this hotel, we stayed in Gion room.

The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was massive and quite comfortable. We wished we would have stayed longer. Absolutely loved our time there. Great area for sightseeing and shopping nearby. We had no complaints

Hotel was very nice, with Japanese style rooms, very spacious, for a family of 4 (adult kids). Clean, and amenities were lovely. They even served really nice tea. Great location in the Kawamarachi are, a bit of walk, but doable, as there are plenty of shops to look out for. The only thing is that there was no Microwave/cutleries, but the comfort and amenities can easily win us. Would definitely consider to stay here again. Also it's not too far from the Train stations. The laundry in room was also a lovely bonus. Very happy with overall facility. No Microwave/simple cutleries to have a simple Konbini meals.

Convenient location, clean spacious room and excellent service No access to washing machine despite that I asked prior to the trip and was told that it was available by the hotel.

The only knock against it would be that we didn't have the greatest view, but probably because we were only on the 2nd floor. Other than that we noticed the washer/dryer didn't seem very user friendly

Clean and extra spacious room, friendly staff, easy to check in and out. Close to cute nice little restaurants.

The room was gorgeous!! We enjoyed our stay a lot. It was close to several subway stations, and in a quiet location. Would recommend!

Everything! Great staff, great room, great value. We had six people in two rooms and had plenty of space. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was great -- easy access to the subway, walking distance to any needed amenities, centrally located to get to the places we wanted to see. Nothing - it was great.

Nothing.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic. It has the boutique feel while providing a nice premium feel. We stayed in one of top-floor rooms (Hawaiian room), and it came with super comfortable beds, a full kitchen, and an amazing bathroom facility. For the price, this hotel punches above its weight. I would 100% stay here again. I was overall very satisfied with this location. I do not have anything negative to say!

The location was wonderful... in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of small restaurants to enjoy. I felt like I was living, not just visiting, Kyoto. It was very close to the subway system, and walkable to Nijo Castle and the Imperial park. Best of all, the room as soo big and full of light. I loved the hanging wicker chair - perfect for reading a book. The bathroom was big and the rain shower heaven! Only two things that could use improvement... there was no full length mirror and the tv (very large!) was too close to the bed, and making it a little difficult to watch.

This is a unique property with interestingly decorated rooms. We stayed in Nuance which was a huge room and it had a washer dryer which was nice. Also centrally located close to Nishiki market. The rooms didn’t feel particularly clean with lots of stains on the rugs and walls. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and the bedding wasn’t very soft. Our room had a kind bed and the duvet was too small for the bed which resulted in discomfort for 2 people. This hotel also has zero amenities and is only staffed from 8:30am-6pm. The tv is large but placed in a strange area that makes it difficult to watch comfortably. Took awhile to figure out AC and laundry - English instructions would’ve been nice.

Spacious and quirky rooms, with great big comfortable beds, hard or find in Japan. Right off a main shopping area with lovely boutiques. Quiet and peaceful, though centrally located. A real treasure. Everything was wonderful.

Perfect location for the hotel near all the sites but in the quiet area. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. highly recommend to everyone.

Exceptional

The friendly and accommodating staff was the highlight. The room was not fancy but was comfortable. The beds were very comfy. The room had a washer/dryer which ended up being a huge bonus as we'd gone through so much of our warm weather clothing by the time we arrived in Kyoto. The shower and bath were great. The toilet is in a separate doored area, which is a great detail when traveling with family. We could have used more counter space in the bathroom, but it is only a small complaint. The location is near several museums but, it turns out, it's not a very exciting area of the city and we found more scenic, friendly and social areas during our exploration.
