Kyoto Shojoin Temple Hotels

"Easy 4 min walk from subway station Karasuma Oike exit 1. 7-11 style shops nearby. Quiet room. Can open the window a little for fresh air which I appreciate. Also a short walk to the River Kamo and then on to Gion and temples. Free (good) coffee from a machine in reception. I was annoyed I could not use the stairs in the hotel. I don't like using the elevator (& there was often a wait). In most hotels I stay in, I can go up and down the stairs. I was told by staff ‘stairs only accessible in an emergency.’ . "

"Excellent hotel with great location "

"This place is amazing and I am so happy I stayed here and will definitely be back. The staff was one of a kind from the minute I stepped foot into the property until I left. They are kind, polite, professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. I already told everyone I know about this place. I promise you you will not regret staying here. "

"Excellent location near shops, restaurants and transit. Hotel itself is excellent, baths wonderful and staff very helpful. Breakfast isn’t the best value and very very crowded but other than that faultless. "

"A superb property that punches well above its price point. The hotel has a beautiful and high quality interior and exterior design. The rooms in particular are fantastic, combining highly aesthetic Japanese design influences with comfort and usability. The general quality of the materials used through is high. The staff are another highlight, clearly well trained, helpful and friendly. A delight to deal with. We very much enjoyed the breakfast offering each day, as well as the access to the executive lounge. The availability of parking on site was also very helpful during our stay. Two small suggestions for improvements would be: 1. An alternative solution for the temporary storage of guest luggage awaiting onward transfer. This is held in the lobby and diminished the stylish space somewhat. 2. The main breakfast area is very busy at peak times. Perhaps the layout of food items could be updated to reduce bottlenecks. For example, the coffee, juice and bakery stations, which tend to be the most heavily used, are all located next to one another. We were fortunate to have access to breakfast at the executive lounge. This was a much quieter and relaxing experience. The quality of the executive / suite level amenities is high and well worth considering. Overall a 10/10 property though. This was our second stay and we will definitely return. "

"Nice room Good breakfast "

"Lovely location with very good on site restaurant. The breakfast is a little on the higher price side but very convenient and the staff are extremely attentive. "

"Amazing stay, beautiful hotel and great location."

"We had a great stay. It was near the shopping areas as well as the traditional district Gion. The rooms were comfortable and modern with a bakery and restaurant on the premises. We would definitely stay here again when in Kyoto."
