Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

Very convenient location, right in the middle of the shopping district, and close to the Nishiki Market. Short walk to station, right by the buses to go to Arashiyama and other tourist locations. Staff spoke great English and helped us with the luggage service. The hotel is right next to round 1 arcade which has claw machines and other games. It's right by a lawson and has many good options nearby.

After reading some reviews I was worried but I really had such a great stay here! I have been living in Asia for 15 years so I think that also plays a role in my experience. I am used to small spaces. First of all the staff are INCREDIBLE! They are so helpful and accommodating. I loved all the amenities that were available downstairs and you can just take what you need. I requested a quiet room and the staff helped me secure it. The bed is massive and comfortable. I think my favorite thing about this hotel was the bath. For foreigners, it can look small but it's deep and in the winter, after so much walking it was like soaking in your own onsen!

I loved everything! The room was nice, the staff were lovely, it had an excellent little pasta restaurant attached which also did a great breakfast each day. They had a laundry near reception with a toilet and waiting area. It really was perfect. The hotel was almost next door to the market place and close to 3-4 stations so almost every line was easy to access without having to change trains.

The room was impeccably clean and perfectly suitable for a family with two young children. The decor was modern and pleasing. We thoroughly enjoyed the room, and the hotel's convenient location was within walking distance of two major train stations (Subway Tozai Line and Hankyu Kyoto Line). It is also situated in a prime tourist area, a short walk from Nishiki Market and Yasaka Shrine.

I enjoyed my stay at Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi. The hotel location is great, a short walk from the Gion district. The personnel are polite, and all the amenities have been provided. Price/Quality ratio met my expectations. I marked comfort level as good due to the fact the room is a standard small one suitable for 1 or 2 travelers. Nice choice for those who want to save some money and have a pleasant stay in Kyoto. Breakfast was good as well!
