Hotels near Shimonojido Park, Kyoto

This hotel has perfect loaction at Kyoto station, closed to Kintetsu Nara line entrance/exit, only 3-4 mins walk. When we took Metro subway, then walked another 3-4 mins. JR was also convenient, closer than subway station. Worth the price for the transportation convenience. Hotel is new, room is clean and spacious enough to fit 3 guests as described in hotel pictures. Self Check-in & out machine available, but staffs are friendly and ready to help if needed.

Will come back again and will recommend this place to anyone going to Kyoto! Amenities and customer service are excellent☺️ You will not be disappointed☺️

The staff was extremely friendly and let me keep my clothes in the dryer past my check out time because they were still wet! English friendly and the place is very clean with great amenities. I highly recommend for the great location!

First off, I’d like to call out the fact that this hotel just opening at the end of 2022, so everything is relatively new in the hotel and quite modern. The rooms are generous in space and not what you’re use to in most hotels in Japan. Even as a select service hotel, you’ll find a fitness center that rivals a full commercial gym and an on-site restaurant that offers food that you don’t normally expect in a hotel. The hotel also has washer/dryers on the bottom floor. There are 4 dual washer dryer machines that you can actually monitor from your in-room TV. Just go to Laundry Availability and it will tell you if there any washers available and how long it will take. Awesome feature so you don’t have to keep running back down to check. If you don’t mind a good walk like my wife and I, then this hotel is perfect for you since it’s location is minutes away from several key points of interest including Kyoto Station, Nishiki Market, the Gion district, Kyomizu-dera Temple, and the Kamo River. If you’re not really a walker, don’t fret as the Gojo train station is nearby as well as several bus routes.

We had a delightful stay at Hotel Pagong with M's in Kyoto. Although the room was compact, it was perfectly adequate for two guests. The service was consistently kind and attentive. The hotel's location is excellent, with a convenient 15-minute walk to Nishiki Market and both a 7-Eleven and Family Mart less than a block away. We highly recommend this hotel for its comfort, friendly service, and prime location.

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.

Very satisfied, will come again

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.

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.
