Staff were very professional. I liked the spacious 2 double beds. Also lobby was very nice with coffee bar and sparkling water station. It has a relaxing feel and also the pamplets available for Kyoto’s main attractions were helpful. Location was great for few minutes walk to many restaurants including Nishiki Market and various train station.

Hotel was in a great location. Staff were lovely and very helpful especially organizing a day of golf for our group (highly recommend Kyoto Ohara golf course 10/10). The bathroom was a bit musty smelling. Another great help were the washer/dryer in our room. Soap was even provided.

We had a great stay at the Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo Karasuma. Staff was wonderful and rooms were very clean and roomier than the hotel we had in Tokyo. One room unfortunately had zero view out the window - the glass was even opaque. The amenities were very nice and the hotel was spotless and nicely decorated.

It’s a really small hotel, but in a great location ,close to the metro, Starbucks, convenience stores, and more. Even though it’s small, it has everything you need for your trip. The room was perfect for me and my partner. They offered free amenities like coffee, sodas, razors, toothbrushes, a hair comb, and more. The coffee isn’t the best, but it’s free, so no complaints! Overall, it’s a nice, affordable place. I’d definitely stay here again if I come back to Kyoto.
