Stayed 4 nights at Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu, best decision ever!!
Let's start with friendly staff, check-in went smooth, all toiletries self service next to the elevator. Room is clean and spacious, as a matter of fact the biggest one among all the hotels we stayed in Japan.
Perfect location on the main shopping districts, Nishiki market is only 2 minutes walk, subway and train stations also within minutes walk. Lastly, plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from.
I rarely write reviews but have to for this as the property and the staff were amazing. I used to be in hotels and the upkeep on Hotel Musse has been amazing. Ie still looks and feels completely new. It was so quiet - despite being in the absolute thick of things. It is right on the main shopping strip - also right beside the Kamo and Pontocho alley and in bw 2 stations. Breakfast was great and the drinks machine in the lobby was a nice touch. there is a family mart right next door + a chemist + everything. Non hotel related but pls note that Kyoto is not as well serviced as Tokyo by subways and busses form the main mode of local transport here, so a lot of the time taking a taxi is a better saving especially of limited holiday time and also money. Also most retail shops and a lot of restaurants and cafes etc close at 8pm here so be mindful of this when planning.
Staff knew English and were very kind and helpful.

Great A/C. Lots to do in the neighborhood. Backs onto the largest market for high end and common goods and food everywhere. Close to geisha area. Walking distance to everything.
Very nice property in the middle of Kyoto: good access to most sites. Road outside is very busy: this makes the property at night quite busy (we were up a number of floors, but still road noise). Can't really fault the hotel for that. Appreciate the coffee and ice water (given how hot it was!). Would stay again.
We stayed for 4 nights at this hotel and the overall experience was quite good. The hotel has the best value for money, with a superb location, comfortable beds and pillows, very convenient, nice buffet breakfast with a variety of Japanese food, but a few western options. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were rather small though, a coffee machine in the room would have been nice, and rooms cleaning could have been more thorough.
