The property was very quaint, like most hotels in Japan. We like it there was a genkan and functioning kitchen complete with amenities (but we barely used). They also have traditional Japanese separate toilet and bath which saves time when preparing specially for a group like ours. We got to check-in early since our room was already cleaned when we arrived. Grateful to kind staff.

Its a bit far from train and bus stop. Around 10 min walk. Please clean dryers from lint regularly - we had to load ¥ couple of times since it didn’t dry our clothes enough. My husband had to clean it himself and it was really dirty.

This was the second Stay Sakura we stayed in after the one in Tokyo and it was once again a great experience. Room was the right size but if you want to keep all of the luggages open, that's not an option. We absolutely loved the possibility to wash our clothes and let them dry in the bathroom with the hot air blowing. We also had a small balcony but it was freezing cold the days we were there so we didn't have a chance to enjoy it. Bonus point the coffee/tea machine in the lobby. As for the location, it's 15 minutes by walk from Kyoto Station, it's in a safe and quiet area, Gojo metro station is close by and it's also easy to take the buses (we took one to Kinkaku-ji without problems). Value for money was fantastic!

Location was great, close to a nearby bus stop and train station. Very close to a grocery store and local convenience stores. Room felt clean and facilities were easy to use. Front Staff was always very helpful. We did not speak any japanese but communicating in English was easy.

The only downside was we were on the first floor and there were a lot of mosquitos due to the main door in the hotel being opened and closed often. The mosquitos would make their way down the hall and into our rooms when we opened the doors.

I loved our stay here, the building is so cosy and inviting, free tea and coffee. The room was even better- we had such an intensively planned itinerary of sightseeing and I longed to get back to our cosy room. We booked the deluxe room as I saw some reviews about space I cannot recommend this enough it was so spacious! The amenities were spot on - the air option for the bathroom was so good for laundry, dried the clothes well. The bed was amazing after a long day of walking I also like the fact you are just left to your stay it’s unbelievably peaceful!

It is a bit of a walk from the main station etc but we got used to it, it also has supermarkets and food places very close by!

The deight of this hotel was the size of the room and its level of equipment. We had experienced a number of tiny Japanese hotel rooms, with no space beside the bed and barely anywhere to put luggage. This room had plenty of room and it also had a very nicely fitted in kitchenette, which enabled us to prepare meals for ourselves on occasion. The bed was also less hard than many.

There are many hotels of this chain in Kyoto and it was essential to use the exact address on Google Maps to find it. The room key didn't have the details on it either.

The location was an easy, level walk from the train station. City bus 50 stops close to the accomodation and subway station is close by. Free tea/coffee machine on ground floor and tables and chairs if you bring dinner back at end of day. Good choice of restaurants, cafes and convenience stores/supermarkets close to accomodation. Beds were super comfy, there was a small kitchenette with hot plate, fridge, microwave and utensils. Combined shower/bath wet room and seperate toilet. Best feature was the drying option in the bathroom, clothes dried overnight, laundry facilities on ground floor. We enjoyed our stay at Stay Sakura Hongan-ji and would recommend it.

Nothing.

Family of four with two teens. We stayed in adjoining rooms that had a door between them. Lovely rooms, clean, tidy and comfortable. The bathrooms had a dry setting which was handy for washing light under clothes and getting them dry between washes. Bus stop right out the front and a Fresco supermarket just around the corner. Located within walking distance to Kyoto station or Gojo. Make sure to pick up some melon bread from the Fresco - delicious!

Rooms can feel a tad cramped with your baggage, and there is nowhere to sit other than your bed. Very quiet location but you can hear people moving about on the floor above. Tea towels would be handy for doing the dishes.

- several bus stops or tube station nearby - convenience stores nearby - room was spacious for Japan (we had 3 big suitcases which made it a bit cramped) - the bathroom was the best we had in Japan (toilet and bath separate) - kitchen included (we didn‘t use it though) - free coffee and tea

- nothing - we wanted to use a luggage forwarding service, but the front desk kindly let us know that they only offer that service when sending your luggage to another STAY SAKURA, but sending it from a nearby convenience store is a good alternative

The appartement looked very new. Good beds, good window blinds so it was dark at night. Separate toilet. The bathroom can also be used as drying room for clothes. Small kitchenette. Cupboard big enough to store the suitcases. Free coffee, thee and umbrellas. Central location between the station and the geisha district. Bus stop nearby.

The only disadvantage is that there is no breakfast included. However, there's a bakery down the road.

Located in a lovely quiet suburb with hidden gems. Surrounded by inconspicuous “houses” that are actually bustling izakayas and bars. Close to bus stops and train stations. 15min bus to city centre Sanjo Dori. The room itself is so comfortable and has a cool fold up kitchenette set up and the bathroom has settings specifically to dry clothes. I love this accommodation!
