Karasuma Kyoto Hotel

The location, close to Shijo subway & walkable distance from Kyoto Station, is excellent for sightseeing as well as shopping. The rooms, though slightly dated, are larger than normal & equipped with all mod cons for a comfortable stay. The hotel rates are very affordable for Japan. The in-house bar is convivial, the gift shop quite reasonably priced & convenient for last-minute gifts. Family Mart, next door, is very well-stocked while the plethora of excellent eateries around the hotel was much appreciated by us after long days of exploring. The staff are all very helpful & responsive, but would make special mention of Ms Fernando at reception. The breakfast room staff too are warm & welcoming. I would definitely stay here again.

The double room for single use, I had on the last night, was much more comfortable as compared to the small single room I had at the beginning of my stay, although the bathroom was still small in space, but equipped with everything needed, The breakfast is very good, with a large variety of selections, both in local and international cuisine, also cooked. The location is excellent , since the most interesting places are at walk distance or achievable by subway. The asian restaurant on second floor is excellent. The staff is very gentle

conveniently right beside the train exit. it’s an old hotel with slightly dated decor but doesn’t detract from the comfortable and clean rooms. all basic toiletries and necessities are provided. about 5mins walk to one end of shijo street so somewhat near the department stores, food areas and nishiki market.

Staff were all nice. Location is pretty close to shops and resto but enough to be on the quietier side. Room is good enough with 1 person.

Location is fantastic. Right above station, with a lift like one block away. Very convenient for family like us with pram and luggages. Convenient store is just around the corner. Starbucks is right at the hotel lobby.
