The hotel is nice and the installations are pretty modern, but the rooms are extremely small. It was the smallest room we stayed while in our Japan trip and with three big pieces of luggage walking in the room was nearly impossible.

Besides that, the room cleaning isn’t great. They do an “eco cleaning” everyday where they only change the towels and that’s almost it. I felt that the same dirty spots in the sink and toilet remained there for days. I had to tell the staff to please do a better clean and only then I found the room clean.

Lastly, the breakfast is not great, the dishes were unseasoned and you can only choose between some few options. And also, the location of the hotel is not great. You will have to travel about 45 mins to an hour to every main spot in the city.

This hotel is genuinely just a place to rest. They have a nice restaurant in the lobby but the rooms were miniature. I consider this on the level of a fancy hostel.

Truly loved our home base in Kyoto. Staff was so helpful and patient. The 2 twin bed room was perfect for my son and I. Comfortable beds on the firmer end. The shower and water pressure were heavenly. The restaurant was delicious particularly for dinner and the bar a perfect stop after a long day. They handled shipping our luggage easily. Really enjoyed our stay. Can't think of a negative thing to say except maybe install more wall hooks in the room to hang clothes and a laundry service would be nice. We walked to a coin laundry and it was fine. Would definitely stay here again.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped out of the hotel from the moment we came into, the hotel rooms were very clean and they were tidied up every morning, they didn’t change our sheets due to their economic friendliness, which was not a problem to me, also provided very comfortable pajamas, and the hotel itself was in a very convenient area where transportation was easily accessible. The only thing was there was no laundromat on site, but there was a laundromat about a 15 minutes walk away from the hotel . Overall would definitely recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay at ASAI Kyoto Shijo hotel, it was our first time in Kyoto and the location was great! Really easy to get around yet at a quiet and peaceful area. The rooms were small yet functional and very very clean! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay, and even at checkout the lobby manager carried our luggage all the way to the taxi. I’ve never experienced such kind service at any hotel.
Highly recommend and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Kyoto.

A cool, trendy ‘hangout’ hotel close to pretty much everything in Kyoto, with some great places nearby to eat and drink. Breakfast was a very limited menu, which, after four days, was a bit repetitive… and we were surprised to not have any tea or coffee in the room - just a kettle and mugs.

Overall the experience was positive. The room was clean, the staff was kind, and the atmosphere felt good. The downside to this experience was the location was just a bit further than all the main attractions in Kyoto but not so far that it wasn’t manageable. The room and bathroom were nice but somewhat small. There weren’t really many amenities at this hotel as compared to others but still it was a good experience. I would recommend staying here again.

The room was clean and well stocked. Like many Japanese rooms it is very compact, so small luggage is recommended.
