Hotels in Shijo, Kyoto

The hotel is very close to the subway station, just 4 turns away. There is Daimaru Department Store and Nintendo Store nearby for shopping. You can basically find everything you want. The hotel has a hot spring which is very comfortable😌

The location is good, and the surrounding area is convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. It is also very close to Diyuan. It has complete facilities and good sound insulation. It was very comfortable to sleep. The front desk was very welcoming and most of the waiters I encountered were foreigners. It was just inconvenient to park, so I ended up parking in the parking lot of the supermarket next door. The parking fee turned out to be more expensive than the room fee.

Far from subway station but bus station is just across the street. Good, big room big bathtub. The biggest hotel we have stayed through Kyoto and Osaka. Just the lobby located at 2nd floor. Ice maker and free drinks available. Good. Better stay another area if u want shopping, quite far to walk

Love this hotel. There is nothing I could fault on. Great location with many eateries around and just next to nishiki market. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Room was clean and new. The only thing I wish for was a hot spa to end my day but other than that, everything was perfect

We stayed for 5 nights at Richmond Premier Kyoto Shijo. The hotel has a clean zen-like modern look. Location-wise, it is at the quieter side of Shijo, the east side, which is closer to the Hankyu Karasuma station. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to Shijo central where Daimaru is- this may or may not appeal to you. Some pros and cons: Pros- Affordable room rates Big rooms Complimentary drinks (not alcoholic) for guests from 1-8pm everyday at the breakfast area. Laundromat with 6 washer-dryer machines Self serve amenities at the elevator at night Helpful hotel staff Cons- Aircon/heater doesn’t balance right between heating and cooling resulting in uncomfortable, dry, cold temperatures at times Walls are a little thinner so a noisy neighbor above or next room can be heard Overall, we had a good stay.

I’m quite surprised by many of the reviews on here. We booked in only this afternoon, the hotel is nice and location is fine. It is a City centre hotel after all. The bathroom is good with a high spec toilet and a wet area and a ‘deep’ bath but at 6’2 i doubt i’d fit in. There are usb charging cables but no wifi roaming devices as some people say but these reviews were pre covid. My big complaint is that there is absolutely no storage. No drawers, or shelves The ‘wardrobe’ is just two rows of metal runners with 5 hangers. All fully exposed to the room and which you can’t help hitting when you go from door to bed The intriguing thing is that there is a full size door next to this. It opens into the room to reveal… a wall. Really handy for storing er large sheets of plywood maybe, as long as they are not more than an inch thick. We thought it might be a connecting door .. it’s not. There is a small bedside table on one side only. There is no reading light on the right side of the bed. There are only two pillows. As there is nowhere to store any additional ones as are usually found in even a premier inn. We have to keep all of our clothes in our suitcase, but we did find a use for an odd sized table as a suitcase stand. Oh yes and unlike the similar hotel in Hiroshima last night there is only one chair. I look forward to a response from the management team .

The hotel in Kyoto, which is crowded all year round, is difficult to make a reservation at this time of spring break, and the price is soaring, but it is in it, and it is relatively reasonable to stay I think it is an old building, but it has been renewed little by little since I used it before, and it was clean and comfortable except for door lock and air conditioning. There is no way that the unit bus is small, but there is a feeling of cleanliness, and the water supply plug is independent type, and it was easy to use. Free amenities that can be taken freely in front of the front desk were also substantial, and it was saved from the mask to many kinds of tea. The first floor is staba, the convenience store is next to it, and the underground is Kawaramachi station, which is very convenient. I want to use it again.

Loved everything about our 5 night stay at node hotel. The industrial modern look, the huge room, the artwork, the amenities and the friendly service. All for incredible value for money. The neighbourhood is great too - worth exploring all the little lane ways, and close to public transport options. My one tip for Kyoto… do your own restaurant research & make sure you make some reservations as it can be difficult getting into the good places. We’d happily stay at node hotel again

Location: Accessible from Kyoto Station to the local subway (then walk about 4-5 short blocks). Walkable to nearby Kanagawa River (and the uber-touristy Pontocho), and Gion district. Staff: limited English, but very friendly and accommodating Room: great Japanese home setup (ie tatamim mats during the day, futon beds at night). Clean toilets and fresh towels. Extras: Onsen only available from 15:30 to 00:30H. I wish there’d be longer opening hours. No breakfast or dinner included (which I thought was standard for “ryokan” style accommodation). Overall, good stay!

Booked 3 nights in Kyoto and decided on Forza Hotel Shijo Kawaramachi. Check-in was swift but the lady staff could not speak much English, though. The room was not very big and opening up 2 big pieces of luggage was quite challenging but manageable. There was a mini fridge but no safe deposit box. I like the access to free hot beverages in the lobby area. The location of the Hotel is great! It's right in the middle of the shopping street. There is an Exit 11 from Shijo Station that is right to the Hotel (a distance to walk, though) The famous Nishiki market is just a 2 minutes walk from the Hotel. Lots of shops and eateries near the Hotel. Across the road on the short distance right, you can catch buses (at the Bus Stop) to many sightseeing spots within Kyoto. Though this was not my original choice of Hotel in Kyoto, I found the stay in Forza Hotel cozy and comfortable. In fact, I love it! Will I stay at Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi again? Of course!
