Shigaken Gokoku Shrine

The staff were very friendly and try to assist us in any way they can. The room was very spacious. The neighborhood was quiet. Overall I love it!

We enjoyed our stay at this newly opened apart hotel in Kyoto, which just launched in November 2024. The property is modern and beautifully designed, with everything inside feeling brand new. I stayed in a Junior Suite with my three boys (the youngest being 13), and the space was sufficient. The suite featured two twin beds and two sofas, making it perfect for our needs. The small kitchenette was well-equipped with a fridge, freezer, electric kettle, coffee maker, microwave/oven, and all the necessary utensils. We also appreciated the washer and dryer, with detergent provided. The bathroom was spacious and convenient, with two sinks, a separate shower and bathtub area, and a separate toilet room. Location-wise, the hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, just a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station. It’s also within walking distance of key attractions like the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjūsangendō Temple (both less than 10 minutes away), and the famous Gion district is about a 20-minute walk. Overall, I’m very happy with our stay. The hotel is a great blend of comfort, convenience, and modern amenities, and I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto.

The beds were rock hard but the people were hospitable and it was a short 15min walk to universal studios
