Northern Kyoto hotel rooms a the Sotetsu

"The room was comfortable, tasteful, taller ceiling, but could be a little dark at night. The mini refrigerator was convenient, but without a microwave it meant more drinks than actual food, unless it was already cold, like a dessert. Having a small table and chairs was a nice treat to sit down and eat in the room. The place was filled with more foreigners than locals. There is an app you can get to use the public washer and dryer for your clothes, but be aware everyone is trying to use it too. This was a nice choice to get to most of the shopping and tourist areas. If you wanted to wander further into normal neighborhoods with smaller mini marts, that wasn’t too far either. It was definitely a nice place to stay."

"Really nice hotel with fairly spacious room for Japan. The entrance and lobby area is lovely. Short walk to goju station only 1 stop from Kyoto, and easy walk to Gion with loads of bar and restaurant options. Great lounge in the basement with complimentary drinks and snacks and beautiful onsen and gym also. Only downside was the breakfast was quite expensive with not a huge selection compared to others on my trip. I would like to see more fresh fruit available. Otherwise my stay here was really perfect."

"Was the best place so close to transit and shopping staff was excellent in all areas"

"Happy with the choice. Rooms are large and clean, breakfast good, shuttle bus convenient. No pool no gym. Would stay again."

"We stayed for 2 nights: our rooms are very quiet, the AC in the rooms are also very quiet. It seems the Japanese hotels are able to manage their air vents much better than most American hotels. The showers are very very good, bed sheets and pillows are comfortable. WiFi is fast. There's 1 thing I would like the hotel to improve: the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired: they obviously try to cater to the white people, but bakeries taste all stale, even the bread on their made to order avocado toast tastes like Safeway bread that expired a week ago. One waiter speaks English, but was curt, rude, unhelpful. Coffee was similar to pot coffee in a 2 star American hotel."

"clean and quite. Love the corner unit."

"Friendly staffs, good service, convenient"

"In the heart of the market, very assessable, near to main road, to take bus or walk to station, say in 10 minutes, walking. Kuljeet "

"Great hotel!!"
