Hotels Near Zuihoin in Kyoto

Hotel is conveniently located next door to a subway station. It is a few stops from Kyoto station. There are many stairs and no escalator or elevator when you exit the subway so not the best when you have luggage. Front desk’s staff English is quite limited, which surprised me given that Hyatt is an American chain and most guests were American while we were there. There are two Nespresso coffee machines in the lobby but no milk. There are three laundry machines on the lobby level. Each machine serves as both a washer and a dryer and takes 120 minutes for 600 yen. People lock their load with a code and you end up waiting for a long time waiting for someone to show up to remove their laundry. Room is tiny, the size of a closet. Our room had two twin beds and a sofa bed for a single person. There is no room to move. There are no sheets in the room so we called to ask for sheets. The person who answered the phone did not know what sheets mean so we had to go to the lobby and describe what we need. The language barrier is real. Our room was on top of a road and we could hear almost every car that went by. It does not seem like the hotel invested in good windows. Make sure to pack ear plugs. The bathroom is quite small and has a weird setup with a shower next to a bathtub. Front desk staff is also not helpful with recommendations for places to eat. They show you a barcode that lists restaurants, but do not provide recommendations. We found an excellent Indian restaurant very close to the hotel. You exit the hotel and turn to the right towards the subway, pass the dry cleaners and cross the street, you will see a mini-mart and then a basement with an Indian restaurant. They open at 5 pm for dinner. It is very inexpensive and delicious. I recommend the butter chicken and cheese nan. Front desk will print for you, there is a charge of 10 yen per page. There is no concierge and staff was too busy to respond to questions about how to get places, instead they offered a map. Breakfast gets busy so be sure to get there early. They offer rice, curry, soup, fish, fruit, bread, coffee, juices and more. The egg is extremely runny and when I asked the attendant if they have egg that is better cooked, she had no idea what I was saying. I would not stay here again because of not being able to communicate with staff and because the room is so small.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during our first visit to Kyoto. This hotel is very clean with nice accessories and modern Japanese accommodations located in quiet neighborhood away from constant tourist crowds but at the same time in walking distance from the emperor palace and right across from Nijo Castle. It is only 10-15 minutes away on taxi from Gion district and other main tourist attractions that Kyoto can offer. I also would like mention Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto staff that made us feel very welcomed and specifically to Timothy Hui (front office manager) who went beyond his duties and make special accommodations for us during our visit in Kyoto.

We had a great experience staying in this hotel.Our room has everything including Microwave and washing machine😍. Nice interior,comfortable beds and all the staff are very polite and kind. We had the best breakfast eveyday!! Both japanese and western food are available. I booked 3 hotels during our Japan trip and Tokyu Stay Karasuma is no.1.😁

Always had an amazing stay at the Tokyu Stay hotel chain. Loved the location of Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza (Shijo Kawaramachi area), it is located centrally at Kyoto downtown and is walking distance to Gion and Nishiki Market. The room was clean and decent size for a deluxe double room (can fit 2 open carry-on suitcase no problem), and I just absolutely adore their in-room 2-in-1 washer+dryer. Each load takes at least 3.5-4 hrs to complete the entire cycle of washing and drying. Thank you very much for the hospitality, will stay again definitely. Great Location. Thanks. 這次京都2天的行程都住在這，地點真的非常好，飯店剛落成沒多久，住起來非常舒服的，一樓有自助飲料吧，也有備品可以自取，房間附有洗烘衣機，微波爐，電晶爐，鍋子，盤子跟餐具，也可以向櫃檯借刀子使用，設備非常齊全.

We hv a very terrible experience during our check-in. We booked as 2 adult and 1 kids in 7 months ago. When we checked in, the staff said the hotel had changed its policy and children is not welcome and it was not allowed to hv 3 ppl in a room. We hv a book additional room but the hotel was already fully booked. They could offer an upgrade to VIP room with only 100k yen per night. They said it was a expensive option, and it was fine if we didn't accept it. Of coz, we didn't cause that wasnt our fault. I said it was allowed to hv a child with us when we booked it. They said I need to give evidence for that. Luckily, my booking receipt showed ”Child is allowed if they can sleep in the same bed”. After checking, they said they gave us an exception and allowed my kid to stay with us this time. ”But next time, you need to book 2 rooms but u probably won't come again.” We are definitely not coming again. To be honest, the hotel has gd facilities and good location. Amazing views in the bar and common bath. I think if u were couple, it would be fine. But if any issue happens in ur booking, I don't think they would be helpful.

The location is difficult to find, and there is no attached parking space, but there are many paid parking lots nearby, and there are also supermarkets nearby. The house is very clean and you can ask them to pick up any items you need.

Conveniently located not far from the Kyoto station, ALA is quite a new and modern place that provides great accommodation and all the amenities at affordable prices. The room we stayed is more spacious than other similar standard hotels in Japanese cities, with separate shower/bathtub and toilet section. There is spa, gym and conference rooms for both business and leisure travelers. Best of all is the breakfast. We stayed here for four nights and enjoyed a variety of good Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and American meals every morning. The soft-serve ice cream was my most favorite. The staff was very polite and efficient. Room was clean and tidy with new bed linen and towels changed daily although we did not throw off the used one. All in all it is a value-for-money 4 Star Hotel that anyone visiting Kyoto should consider.

Hotel was super nice! I loved almost everything. The room was very big for Japanese standards and the staff was very professional and fluent in English. Location couldn’t be better, right next to Kyoto Station and a lot of options for shopping and dining. The only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast. They divide it in a western and japanese breakfast. But the western breakfast didn’t really have much western choices. And the coffee was not good. This could be improved. Otherwise it was a perfect stay and I would recommend it. :-)

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and its location was unbeatable! Situated right in front of the train station, it was incredibly convenient for tourists like us. Whether we were heading out for sightseeing or returning after a long day of exploring, the proximity to the station made everything so much easier. The area also had plenty of dining options and convenience stores nearby, which added to the overall ease of our trip. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a hassle-free and accessible base while traveling!
