Great stay

Great hotel! Very clean, very modern. Loved having laundry in room. Staff is helpful. We got coupon for free coffee and donuts at the place downstairs. That was fun. Very convenient to a lot of shops and restaurants but it’s a hike to the shrines and temples on the other side of the river. The lobby is really nice, with free drinks and sake, but I wish the seating were more comfortable.

Perfect spot, comfortable hotel

Right off a main street and near a train stop. The actual hotel entrance is in an alley, but there's boutique stores and some good food located in the vicinity. The hotel is quiet and comfortable with tea and sake service in the afternoon. The staff are very considerate and informative.

We stayed 3 nights in a superior twin room. This hotel is on the small side but is extremely close to the Nishiki market as well as a ton of other shopping. We had a bit of a walk (15 minutes or so) from the Shinkansen station to the hotel, but it was very close to other bus stops and metro stations so it just depends on where you are going. Kyoto attractions are a bit spread out so there is no hotel that will give easy access to all of them, but this was a good option. The twin beds were long enough for me (6'3") and were a bit firm as beds in this country often are. We arrived before check in time and dropped off our bags. The friendly staff but our bags in our room for us before we returned, and they were the only hotel that did that our entire trip. The washer was extremely convenient although all the buttons are in Japanese so it was not intuitive on how it worked. With a little help from Google translate and ChatGPT we figured it out. We did not use the dryer function (it's a combo machine) so I can't speak to how well that worked. Detergent was provided.

A place to stay!!! Pros: It’s in a premium spot: subway is 1 min walk. Shops, restaurants is literally downstairs. Very clean and quiet, staff wonderful.10 min walk from Gion district. Pros +: Practical self service of water, soft drinks and even sake and toiletteries articles. They gave us free coupons to try the Koe doughnuts downstairs (worth it!!) It’s all those little « plus » that made our stay memorable. There is a washer/dryer and detergent, microwave and small kitchen appliances in the room. We were a family of 3 ( one seventeen yr old) room are small, but larger then we expected for Japan (we come from Canada). Courteous and friendly staff and very clean hotel. This is our first time with Tokyu hotel chain and we were very impressed.

The hotel was great, it was pretty central to a bunch of shopping and it was also close to alot of bus stops and stations. it wasn't more than a 15 minute walk to the farthest stations we needed to get to where wanted. Some where just right there near the hotel. It's basically in the center of a shopping area with clothes, animal cafe's knifes food stalls. They also had pretty good free coffee and surprisingly free sake (which we didn't really part take of but it was a nice surprise.) The staff was also very nice and helpful when needed.

Having had positive stays at other Tokyu Stay locations, we were very excited to stay at the Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi hotel. The location was great, and the staff was always warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, our triple room seemed like it hadn’t been used in some time before being given to us. There was dust on the flat surfaces and even the tv remote (I took pictures, just in case), and the bathroom had a foul sewer like smell that didn’t dissipate until day 2. It seemed like they didn’t put care into ensuring the room was guest ready. We only stayed 2 nights, so it didn’t seem worth the hassle of requesting a room change. We would stay there again, as the location and staff were great, but would request that the room be cleaned and checked prior to use.

A super comfortable stay for a family of 3

This hotel was in a superb location with easy access to subways, buses and walkable sites. The staff was super friendly, and we weee pleasantly surprised to find complimentary refreshments (coffee, teas, water, soft drinks, sake, and wine!) available in the lobby. The room was comfortable for our family of 3 (15 year old son). We are Asian and on the smaller side so the small Japanese size room felt spacious enough for us (mind you, not spacious by American standards but comfortable enough). The washer and dryer were great, but note that the dryer takes a while and make a horrific beeping when it finishes (good to know if you’re running laundry late at night - it likely will wake you up). But for me, it was a minor inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Kyoto.
