The OneFive Kyoto Shijo

The twin bed room was indeed spacious as others have noted. We had a very comfortable time here, ended up extending our stay to eight nights. It feels quite small, even with 10 floors, which we appreciate. You walk in the door and you're quickly in your room with little walking or waiting. It's nicely interiored, nothing too fancy, but a nice living space. It's well situated, less than 15min to Nishiki Market.

Space - Surprisingly there was just enough space for two, moved the study a bit to accommodate a second luggage. Coming from a tiny hotel in Tokyo, this felt luxurious haha Showers - AMAZING, envious that we don't have this water pressure back home Location - Just one train stop away from Kyoto station so getting on the Shinkansen was super nifty. Tons of food options available. Really appreciated that it was in tucked in a quieter part of the city yet just a little walk away and you'll see all the buzz. Enjoyed walking around and encountering quaint shops and cafes around the hotel. Made use of the many bus stops around the hotel to get around Kyoto

Perfectly located near a train/ metro - station, connected diretly to all relevant sights. Direct train connection to Osaka, thus it's not only great if you want to visit Kyoto but also great for all wanting to go to/ coming from Osaka as well! Rooms have sound proof windows, so even tough our room was facing the very busy street, we did not hear too much traffic noise. The rooms are larger than the japanese average (we had a twin room) and are as clean as usual in japan (VERY clean). Staff is friendly and speaks english properly. Check in is possible via personal contact or via two automated check in kiosks. Coffee machine and microwave in the lobby and in a spacious lounge. 7/11 in the ground floor and multiple restaurants to dine in or take away within 5 minutes walking distance.

The hotel occupies a prominent position on the corner of a main intersection, so it's easy to find. Despite that the room was quiet. Hotel room was clean and relatively spacious, excellently located with train stations and bus stops nearby. Working space with a built-in desk and power outlets, plus charging points near the beds. It was very easy to get a bus to attractions such as Fushimi Inari and Kinkaku-ji. You wouldn't need a taxi. Main station and city centre a short bus ride away. Lots of convenience stores around including a 7-11 in the same building, so getting cash and food wasn't a problem. Very comfortable to come back to after a long day's sighseeing, and great value for a short notice booking. I'd come here again.

Staff were very helpful and filled out our luggage forms for us to send our cases to the next hotel. There is a 7eleven underneath the hotel which is handy for snacks and drinks. There is a bus stop across the road, which is the main way of getting around Kyoto to see all the sights. It is also a 5 minute walk to the tram which takes you to Arashiyama, which is where the bamboo grove is located. We would highly recommend Sawano for breakfast or lunch which is a 20 minute walk away. This hotel is super cheap for what you get!
