5/5 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in a prime location. 2nd time staying and I wasn’t disappointed. Friendly staff especially at the concierge desk who helped with information on a local festival happening during our stay. My only suggestion would to have ice machines for use rather than having to make the trek down to the lobby to get ice. "

"Location was good, not super close, 25 min walk to nishiki market, 15 minute walk to Gion. But the room was spacious and beautiful, food at the hotel is amazing. If you have the option to add breakfast do it! It was so delicious every morning, also the bakery and rooftop bar were great as well. "

5/5 Excellent

"Very clean room, professional staff, nice amenities such as gym, bathing room, and complementary snacks with coffee and other drinks. Only small issue was wifi seemed to be intermittent, depending on time of day - perhaps due to heavy usage by others in area but still noticeable and not something experienced at other hotels in Japan during my vacation. Overall highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay with good location to subway and other attractions. "

5/5 Excellent

"Great stay at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto- Kiyomizu Goju. Staff are very helpful, friendly and very welcoming. Rooms are very clean and daily housekeeping is provided, if requested. Excellent amenities and the hotel has everthing you need for a comfortable stay. Beds were comfortable and I liked the pillow options. The location is perfect- 7mins walking distance from Gojo station; one station away from Kyoto station. The hotel is walking distance to the some of the big food markets and shopping streets. Overall, I had a safe and excellent stay and would recommend the hotel. "
