Hotels Near Shirankaikan Annex in Kyoto

The building feels a little 々 age, but the amenities are a little good and the staff are kind, so it's a good impression. If you can usually spend a relaxing time at Toyoko Inn, I think this facility is sufficient. It is also a nice point for families with children to have tatami rooms. As it is a welcome baby inn, you can also rent baby baths, tableware, nail clippers, etc. Although it is not written on the HP, you can also take delivery from a nearby shop called ”Torii”. It is recommended because there is a very delicious Oyakodon. This time I took a large room, but it was a pity that the air conditioner was small and there were cold and hot places in the room.

Nice and clean hotel, good location to browse the city. The staff are kind and friendly. The rooms are not big but family of 3 with one big piece of luggage can easily fit in. Japanese style room is very charming but you might need some time to adjust to a mattress firmness. The breakfast selection is rather limited and repetitive.

Will come back again and will recommend this place to anyone going to Kyoto! Amenities and customer service are excellent☺️ You will not be disappointed☺️

This hotel has perfect loaction at Kyoto station, closed to Kintetsu Nara line entrance/exit, only 3-4 mins walk. When we took Metro subway, then walked another 3-4 mins. JR was also convenient, closer than subway station. Worth the price for the transportation convenience. Hotel is new, room is clean and spacious enough to fit 3 guests as described in hotel pictures. Self Check-in & out machine available, but staffs are friendly and ready to help if needed.

On April 28, 2024, I stayed at Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma to participate in the Kyoto May Day event held at Umekoji Park Lawn Square. The hotel is located south of Kujo Subway Station. To get to Umekoji Park, take city bus number 208 from Oishibashi without changing buses. The room rates have increased because it is the first Saturday of Golden Week, but I made the reservation two months in advance in anticipation of this. The usually free dinner and breakfast were 720 yen and 570 yen, respectively. I had dinner at the nearby Indian restaurant ”Dana Pani En.” The front desk was able to handle three check-ins. The service was not bad. The large public bath has not yet reopened under the pretext of infection prevention, but I think it is actually for cost-saving purposes. The rooms on the third floor have sofas and are not small. Be careful of the steps in the bathroom. BS cannot be viewed.

As there were some reviews on Google, there were many hairs on the bed, and I thought it lacked a sense of cleanliness. There were three showers and three toilets, which I felt was a small number considering the number of guests. Skin care products were not provided. The whole room was cold.

The hotel is very nice and has beautiful lake views and room is also big and nice. However the breakfast in 38Floor staff manager is not so nice and reject client where to sit even other side has many seats for available so I am writing here to tell hotel manager to improve this service attitudes which is not good 👊

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

I stayed with my family for 2 nights for purposes. I chose this one near the station because of the location, but the room is a business hotel type and is by no means large. Is it kept clean? I couldn't deny that the equipment was aging, so I entered the room and there was a spot that was noticeable. Although it is 2 consecutive nights, the card key will not work at 11 o'clock the next day, probably because I booked one night at a time, and an error occurred. I asked the front desk to deal with two stories, but I went to the front desk again without apologizing and went to the front desk again. From the time of check-in, I couldn't feel the service spirit at all at the front desk, and it was clerical. This hotel seems to have nothing to do with that. Because there are usually more people cleaning the room for one night, the aunt uses the entire corridor to spread the used linen in each room, and it is difficult to walk in the corridor. The elevator is also occupied by a linen transport cart around 1100-1300, and it is difficult to get there. It's okay if you just sleep, but it feels a little expensive for that room and service.

I just stayed for two days. I was a little scared at first because there was no information about this hotel, but after I checked in, I found it to be very cost-effective! New hotel, about 2-3 minutes walk from the station. There is aeon nearby, as well as Akechi Mitsuhide statue and castle. If your itinerary is mainly Arashiyama, this hotel is very good. It is very fast to get to Arashiyama and there are beautiful scenery to see on the way! Many people are taking photos at Hojinkyo Station. It’s not expensive during the maple leaf season, it includes breakfast, and you can even take a bath! ! The night shift counter lady is very cute😏! ! ! ! ! And English is very good! Single decisive exchange phone numbers! The room was clean. There were no people on the street at night. My view was of the hotel and apartment opposite, but the space in the middle was very open and felt comfortable. In addition to the TV cabinet, there is also a table for guests to put things on when dining, as well as a small sofa and a chair. Add points! ! ! In addition, the breakfast is also delicious. Most of the guests I see are Japanese. It takes two minutes to the subway station, and there is also aeon, Mitsuhide Akechi statue and castle nearby. It’s not too far from Kyoto Station, a 30-minute drive.
