Hotel Shikisai Kyoto

We have been staying in the kinkaku room for 3 nights, and it is hands down a formidable experience. The size, decoration and quality of the rooms furniture on top of its traditional japanese style is such a delight. I would love also like to thanks shimizu from your staff as he was always very helpful and agreable. I definitely recommend this hotel, and will tell all my friends about it for a long time !

Easily one of the best hotels i have stayed in. There are only good things to say. The location is convenient, within 5mins to train station, convenience stores, Mcdonalds, Starbucks. Walking distance to atttractions like Nijo castle, Nishiki market, Pontocho. The room is excellent. We stayed in the Hawaiian chill and absolutely love it. It was super spacious with a kitchenette, 2 doubled sized beds, a living room area and the best part was the bathroom area. The shower, basin and toilet parts are 3 different separated areas in the same space. So everyone can do what they needed to without waiting for availability. After a long day of touring, this really helps everyone to settle down fast. Room amenities were complete. The check in and check out staff (same lady) spoke perfect English and was super polite. When we checked out, it was drizzling and she offered us to take a few umbrellas along without the worry of returning them. We did not take the umbrellas as we called uber but it was unexpected and amazing service which we really appreciate. She even came out in the rain to help us load our luggages! If we are in Kyoto again, I would definitely choose to stay here!

Absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Shinkisai Jyoti! The rooms are stylish, cozy, and incredibly spacious, offering a unique and comfortable experience. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable, providing excellent assistance whenever needed. Although breakfast isn't served onsite, there are plenty of affordable options nearby. Highly recommend this boutique hotel for a fantastic stay in the area!
