Stay Sakura Kyoto Higashiyama Shirakawa

We loved this hotel. Great location. The rooms are big and they have a laundry. It was so good getting our washing done! Very comfortable. Note that there are other Stay Sakura Hotels in Kyoto so make sure you know which one you’re staying at.

Requested a quiet room on a high floor; received a dark depressing room on the ground floor with no windows- just a sliding door facing a concrete wall and noisy air handling unit with a narrow space and access door. A security concern for a solo traveler - the sliding door could not be left open for ventilation. I requested a change when I found out the room was on the ground floor but since the hotel was fully booked and I had paid in advance, I had no recourse. Woken up at 530am by the upstairs neighbor’s footsteps and slamming cupboard doors. Aside from the depressing noisy room - the hotel is nicely located and the room/facilities are clean. The lighting is either dim floor lamps or bright overhead spotlights requested and received 2 fluorescent desk lamps. Washer/dryer and small minimally equipped kitchenette. No desk. 32 inch tv. Oddly placed 2 seat sofa. Inconveniently placed outlets to charge electronics.

Our stay here over the few days was great. Room and bathroom were spacious and the ability to do laundry all in the room was excellent. Really short walk to the subway station and walking distance to major shrines, shopping, dining and attractions. Definitely would stay again and absolutely recommend.

Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids. Close to metro, grocery store, ice cream and small restaurants. Walkable to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera.

GOOD

조용한 골목길에 위치하고 있어 주변이 조용하고, 숙소 바로 앞에 지하철이 있어서 지하철을 이용하여 아라시야마 관광을 편하게 할 수 있어 좋았습니다. 그리고 도보로 기온거리까지 갈 수 있어서, 저녁에 맛집도 찾아가고 쇼핑도 할 수 있는 즐거움이 있었습니다.

思ったより部屋も広く設備もコンパクトにまとめられていて良い。スタッフも感じが良い。チェックアウト後の荷物預かりサービスはとても助かりました、お世話になりました。 ありがとうございました！
