Shiki Shiki Higashiyama

It is very convenient because it is directly next to Higashiyama.subway. This place is on a residential area but very close to convenience store like Daily konbini and McDonalds. The room I chose fits people but I am on my own for a business trip. There is a bathroom inside but the toilet is shared. There is a small cooking area with fridge. The aircon in the room is functioning well. The linens are fresh. The bed is said to be hard for a futon but I put together two comforter so there was no problem. The pillows are nice and clean and pristine white. They are made of mixed cotton and small pebbles giving you a feeling of memory foam. The toilet is positioned next to my room and it was always clean without bad odor. The toilet bowl is modern with full functionality. There are 3 levels. There is a steep staircase so be careful when climbing especially with your luggages. Please take note the rooms are not sound proof so be mindful of keeping quiet so other guests won't be disturbed. The owner is friendly and reachable by email or phone call. The passwords,shouldn't be put outside the main entrance for safety purpose. Receiving an email would be sufficient. The general reminders printed on a paper can be left within the room. Overall, it was a great experience.

Close to Higashiyama station and Sanjo Keihan station with convenient access to many famous tourist spots like Gion, Kiyomizu Temple, Ginkakuji, Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari and more. Everything was well cleaned and there was a small shared kitchen area with a refrigerator as well as a private shower. Don't miss the coffee at the cute little cafe Green Door next doors!

Amazing place! In the quite location but close to all major temples and attractions of Kyoto, close to bus that gets you directly to Kyoto station. We had a beautiful room with private bath and you don’t get to see it on the pictures but it’s almost like private onsen, really cute and nice after entire day of walking. We would definitely stay there again if ever in Kyoto.

The location is perfect for coming in from Kyoto station. Some great locations just minutes away. The rooms are small but big enough and clean. The climate control is excellent. Beds are decent.

Great location only 2 mins walk to train station and about 20 mins walk to Gion and Ninenzaka. Modern japanese style interior, feels quite unique. I booked 2 rooms, both were clean and the futon beds were very comfortable.
