We really enjoyed our stay at ASAI Kyoto Shijo hotel, it was our first time in Kyoto and the location was great! Really easy to get around yet at a quiet and peaceful area. The rooms were small yet functional and very very clean! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay, and even at checkout the lobby manager carried our luggage all the way to the taxi. I’ve never experienced such kind service at any hotel.
Highly recommend and will definitely stay again next time we’re in Kyoto.
A cool, trendy ‘hangout’ hotel close to pretty much everything in Kyoto, with some great places nearby to eat and drink. Breakfast was a very limited menu, which, after four days, was a bit repetitive… and we were surprised to not have any tea or coffee in the room - just a kettle and mugs.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and it one of nicest hotel we've ever stayed at.
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and every detail of the hotel was beautifully designed. We especially appreciated the restaurant and bar in the hotel lobby.
We truly wish we had stayed longer and highly, highly recommend this hotel. We’ll definitely be back!
This stay was magical! My wife and I chose this destination as part of our honey moon! Upon arrival, we were greeted with warm and friendly staff! We made it point to sign up for a membership which including discounts for food + drinks! Our rooms were great. The food was amazing. We spent our days site seeing and enjoying local attractions. One subtly but awesome details was coming back to complimentary waters etc. Can’t recommend ASAI Shijo enough!
Such a lovely place to stay!! The staff were kind and helpful, and the rooms were clean and beautiful. The neighborhood it’s in is pretty and peaceful, but within walkable distance to bustling places like Gion. Kyoto Station is also only a short subway ride away.
