"This is my second time staying at Sotetsu, and the facilities are very professional and well-integrated. The room was spotlessly clean, and I made sure to keep it that way. The hotel is conveniently located near Shijo Station, with a convenience store right next door. There's also Sanita Seimen nearby, and their tsukemen (dipping noodles) are absolutely delicious! The service was very professional, and the breakfast spread was fantastic."

Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M's

Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M's ★★★

📍 Kagiyacho 337, Shimogyō-ku, Kyoto

"The location is pretty good, as Google Maps directs you via main roads, so no worries about safety. The last stretch is a small residential lane, which is fine, although it's a bit tough to drag luggage on the main road. Otherwise, it's very easy to find. The front desk has a ********* guy who speaks Chinese, which is incredibly convenient for Chinese-speaking travelers. The room isn't small; it's perfectly adequate. There's also a children's park nearby where you can go swing, and a convenience store and subway station are both very close, making transportation super convenient. You can even stroll along the Kamo River at night. The only downside is that the self-service washing machine is a bit finicky, but the front desk staff were very helpful in getting it to work, so a big thank you for their service!"

9.3 (1,096 reviews)

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto-Kiyomizu Gojo ★★★

📍 391-1 Shiogamacho Shimogyo Ward, Shimogyō-ku, Kyoto

"This is a great hotel, conveniently located near the station and attractions. You can reach Kyoto Station and the surrounding commercial areas within 20 minutes. My only minor complaint is that when I opened the window, all I saw was a staircase instead of an outside view, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, everything else was perfect."

"This is my second time staying at this hotel, and the overall service is still fantastic. The rooms are clean, tidy, and a good size. It's very close to the JR station, making it super convenient for exploring the Kansai region. There's a large shopping mall and a big supermarket nearby too. Although I still haven't figured out the difference between the rooms in their two buildings, I'd definitely choose this hotel again if I come back to Kyoto."
