Kyoto Hotels near Shijō

I came here may 2026 — very close to Kyoto station and a 7/11. Tons of restaurants near by.
I booked the two bed two bathroom with a tatami room. Plenty of space for family of four.

The staff, room size/ layout, services and amenities were excellent with good value. I would highly recommend this hotel brand in Japan.

This is my new favorite hotel! We came here for our honeymoon and the staff made it truly special.

Stayed here on marriot points. Upgraded to a better room despite only Gold status. The cash value for summer weekday was very good value even though I used points.

We spend 4 days in the Kanro Kyoto. It a excellent place. The rooms are beautiful und large. The staff is very polite and helpful. We did a caligraphy course which is offered by the hotel.

The entry way into the room is one of the coolest things I've seen at a hotel! The resturant and rooms were decorated so beautifully.

As a family of four — 2 adults and 2 children (4 and 12) we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was good on a quiet street and not too far from the Kyoto station.
Check-in.

From Gojo Station, if you’re traveling light, you can take Exit 1, which brings you directly onto the same street leading to the hotel.

One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in (I have stayed in many). The interior design and finishes are beautiful. The room was really well laid out and very generous in size.

We stayed here for two nights and had an excellent experience. The facility is outstanding, thoughtfully designed, and provided a cozy, home-like atmosphere.

Staying at Hotel Muso was the best decision of my Japan trip. While I’ve stayed at more expensive hotels in my lifetime, I have never been treated better than the way I was at Hotel Muso.

What a totally wonderful place: great location, wonderful staff, fabulous room, brilliant service.
We arrived, we were welcomed; our room was comfortable, spotless and restful; and we left too early.

This was a lovely place to stay, very quiet and calm after a full day of touring. The staff was very accommodating.

This was really one of the coolest hotels we’ve ever stayed at. When we arrived, We were given a tour of the building by one of the staff who is studying game design and working there for school/work

Wonderful hotel with a zen atmosphere. Fantastic amenities as the onsen which was great and the coffee corner where you could have coffee, refreshments and some snacks (all of them free of charge).

We had a wonderful stay at The Blossom Kyoto. The location was excellent just a short walk to multiple train stations, making it easy to explore Kyoto.

My 5 city travel just ended and I can say that Hiyori Stay in Kyoto is the best hotel out of 5 hotels I've stayed in during my vacation.
Amenities are great.

Our family of 4 stayed for 5 nights. We were very happy with everything.
— Good value for money.
— Good location. Walkable (long) to Kiyomizu-dera. Can also walk to Pontocho Alley, Gion, etc.

I was on the female’s floor and the only negative thing I experienced was the people waking up early (around 6am) and not being very quiet whether it was with their suitcases or their friends.

Perfect cheap stay for people who want the better hostel experience.
Pods are roomy enough and beds are comfy as heck. Central location makes it easy to go to most places within a short time.

Great location we are love that it in more quiet areas but not too far to walk to the sightseeing areas we only have to catch taxi once and it was easy to walk and catch train to other part of town,

My only regret — the stay was too short. The moment you walked into this hotel, you were greeted by friendly staffs. No self check-in, which is a rare find these days.

Wonderful experience staying at Watazen Ryokan right from the second we stepped into the place the staff were super welcoming and the breakfast was simply amazing!

Interesting experience in the heart of Kyoto. Incredible location that makes you feel like you can go anywhere and see anything.

Great central stay in Kyoto. Highly recommend. We stayed here for 5 nights. The staff was nice and friendly. The small room was comfortable enough and the shower was divine.

Room was quite small but good enough for a couple. They have great amenities and you can get extra towels from the 1st floor by yourself.

We had a fantastic stay at MIMARU Kyoto Kawaramachi Gojo. The apartment was exceptionally clean, modern, spacious, and well-designed for families.

Location was perfect, great for exploring on foot or picking up a bus or subway, and getting to the markets and station.
Apartment was spotless, great facilities and amazing staff.

Great hotel! Simple and clean. Fancy shower facilities. Face wash, lotions downstairs free to grab. Close to main area in Kyoto. Will definitely come again!

​We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and surprisingly spacious for Japan, and the bathroom facilities were a major highlight. They provide complimentary coffee, tea and water in the lobby.

My husband and I had a great stay at Mitsui Garden in Kyoto. It is located right near the shopping streets, which made everything very convenient.

Amazing hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed in 5 different hotels for our stay in Japan and this was hands down our favourite.

Fabulous room at ridiculously low price. Bath/shower was particularly great. Fantastic location. Very helpful staff. Breakfast also terrific.

Had a wonderful stay at BnA Alter in Kyoto.
Our room was 501 — which featured a fantastic mural and light show by artist Mon Koutaro Ooyama.

The hotel is located just 5 minutes from Kijomizu-Gojo station (quite convenient if you come by train from Osaka) and bus stops plus metro station are nearby.

Wow this place surpassed all my expectations. The hotel is immaculate. Rooms are really nice with lots of extra details that weren't advertised.

Location fine, short walk to stations, bus stops, Nishiki market. Restaurants and konbinis all around everywhere. Super clean, modern, warm, comfortable bed, doona, pillow. Quiet.

We found this area of Kyoto very walkable, there are so many great coffee and cafe places nearby, and also the shopping street is within 10 minutes.

We have stayed in 5 different hotels during our stay in Japan and the Mimaru Kyoto Shijo West was by far the nicest.

The staff were so friendly alwayd welcoming us back and spoke English very well. The Pokémon Room was the best decision.

Small, Intimate, and Cozy Hotel Stay!
We have made an excellent choice in staying here. Booked at the last minute late November 2025 (due to a failed no-show from a ryokan booking).

Small hotel on a quiet street about 600m from the subway. Great water pressure, comfortable beds and just large enough for 2 people and a few suitcases. Kitchen with fridge, microwave and cook top.

A comfortable well-appointed, newly constructed small hotel. Mostly western style hotel but with firm Japanese style futons and seriously tricked out toilet functionality complete with warm seats.

We recently stayed at Kyoto ITOYA Hotel Mon and had an unexpected and stressful pregnancy scare when my wife experienced bleeding early in the morning.

Hotel has a nice entrance and reception is reached via a lift to the 2nd floor. Check in staff are friendly and helpful.
We booked a triple room, grandma, mother and teenager.

Much cleaner than other 3 star hotel. My skin is not allergic to the bed sheets at all!
The room is slightly bigger and well designed than other hotel in Kyoto.
A bit of walk from subway station.

ASAI Kyoto Shijo is in a fantastic location and a great choice for exploring Kyoto. We stayed for three nights in October and would happily return anytime.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in Japan!
Highlights:
— Chill, friendly staff.
— Room is clean, nice wooden floors, aesthetically pleasing.

This place was AMAZING, exllent service, really warm atmosphere, all the staff was kind and accommodating, we been there for 4 night. And they are provided free loundry for us. Twice.

We loved everything! Amazing staff, good dinner and breakfast and the room was very clean and confortable.
