The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and had a tea table and a couch. It even had an area/room for the luggages/wardrobe. the toilet was big- a vanity area, separate toilet, shower and a bathtub tub.We booked a 3 single beds corner room which was very comfortable. Absolutely spacious and well thought of design. The breakfast was a good variety of western and Asian cuisine, and had fresh salad, and they also served food that’s locally grown/farmed. Hotel was also environmentally conscious providing refillable stainless water bottles and a water filling station on each floor. The bath products provided were also organic and gentle on the skin and hair. The location was perfect! It is right next to Takashimaya and approx 70 meters away from the main crossing. It’s on the quieter side of the busy area. There is a small grocery on the ground floor selling local and home grown food, and many organic fruits and veggies. The hotel also has a few restaurants. We were only able to try Roku- a ramen place and we really liked it. The patisserie in the hotel was always full- many locals also go there for dessert/tea time. Across the hotel is a famous gyoza place called Chao Chao which always had a long queue. This is the best hotel I’ve stayed in Japan! I’ve been to Japan many times and I highly recommend this if you’re going to Kyoto and want to be centrally located. I will stay in this hotel again when I go back to Kyoto. The staff are very helpful, warm and friendly. They helped me in making a reservation for the airport bus from Kyoto to Kansai airport in Osaka. They also booked a van taxi for us since there were 3 of us with luggages.

With several restaurants in and around its neighborhood and a 7-11 directly across the street, Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto Shijo welcomes guests to one of the best areas in the city. Two blocks away, you will find a Boulangerie to die for within minutes from Nijo Castle. At Shijo-Omiya station, you can take the Randen tram to Arashiyama after a short, 10-minute walk from the hotel, Shijo Nishinotoin bus stop is one block away, and Karasuma station train station is close enough for you to walk with your carry-on and backpack without breaking a sweat for only a few minutes on a flat road as you make your way to catch the Limited Express train Osaka-Umeda on the Hanky-Kyoto Line, an affordable option that I highly recommend to any visitors travelling between the two cities for its comfort and value. Furthermore, the hotel provides access to a handy launderette behind the elevators (all you need is 100-yen coins as the washing machines automatically dispense detergent), in addition to free toiletries by the reception (take the bath salts to recover after a long day of temple hopping) and excellent coffee from a machine right by the elevators (the Americano coffee was particularly good), currency exchanger and umbrellas for any rainy day. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with both Japanese and Western options, and I will always remember the breakfast attendant, a lovely old lady who greeted us every morning and even handed me the tray sometimes. And if you enjoy starting your day with a big breakfast, do not hesitate to make a reservation with breakfast included. Every day, we also received free bottles of water and green tea bags in a paper bag with fresh towels even if we did not request room cleaning. The bed was so comfortable, I feel asleep immediately as I slipped into those sheets with a high thread count. Yet, I will remember this hotel first and foremost for its staff, incredibly diligent, considerate and helpful even after checking out.
