Japaning Hotel Shichihonmatsu

Nice people nice place close to transport you could catch a bus to the nearest train station right at your front door, or a bus to kyoto a couple of blocks away making it easy to get to all the famous temples and shrines. Handy to convenience stores and supermarket.

nice room with value for money

The building is 4 storey high, there is no lift, it is hard to take luggages up the stairs. The neighborhood is very quite and the building is difficult to find. The room is smaller than expected. 3 of us staying in 4 person room is really crowded. The reception only upto 9pm instead of 10pm as stated. We arrived around 7pm n there was nobody there. All rooms use code for entry without key. The code for entering our room was just left on the counter that anyone can see!

Very nice and comfortable hotel. The facility is very nice, new and clean. The room comes with have kitchenette equipped with plates ,silverware and cleaning supplies. The washing machine is also inside (with a dryer located just down the hall ). The staff is very helpful and has also helped us in explaining the transport options, sightseeing recommendations etc. The location is easily accessible by bus. We will definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again next time we come to Kyoto.

We had a wonderful stay in Kyoto at Japaning Hotel. It was great that there was shuttle service to the Nijo train station, make sure you make a reservation for the shuttle service. The room was clean and comfortable. One of the bed was uncomfortable and once we told front desk, he immediately went and purchased a replacement mattress for us that night. It was nice to have a washer in the room that was free of charge. There was a dryer available and it was very reasonably priced at 100 yen per 30 minutes. Although there were no elevator, we were on the second floor so had no issues with it. I would definitely book here again. I would even book to stay in Kyoto and take the train to Osaka and Kobe instead of changing hotel since it is only about an hour away via train. The hotel is about a 5-7 minute walk to a bus station, bus is the easiest way to get around in Kyoto and the hotel offers a day bus pass you can purchase at the front desk. Hotel is right next door to a Lawson which is very convenient for snacks but there are restaurants around that are open for dinner. Overall, great stay and for Japan standard it was roomy. Take note that the "sofa bed" is really a sofa with a mattress top, but worked fine for us.
