Kaya Hotel is near to Nijo castle on the small local street. A boutique hotel Japanese style with nice decor, with all facilities, well thought out to the smallest details to serve the client! Good breakfast. Good access to everything. Very good impression worth of the money paid.

We stayed at Insomnia Kyoto Oike for six nights, and it was the most pampering, comfortable, cozy, and friendly-designed hotel I’ve stayed at in Japan – and possibly anywhere. The hotel is perfectly located, just a short walk from the train station and about a 20-minute walk to Nishiki Market. The hotel offers everything you could need to make your stay pleasant and welcoming. The rooms are clean, spacious, and beautifully designed, with a fantastic bathroom and all the amenities you could ask for. The lobby features a cozy social lounge with light refreshments available 24/7, including a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, and even a beer/wine machine for only 500 yen per glass. Additional thoughtful features include a washing machine and dryer, a coin exchange machine, bicycles for guest use, refillable water bottles, and more. Everything is designed with the guest’s comfort in mind – simply amazing! When I return to Kyoto, this will undoubtedly be the hotel I choose, without hesitation.

With several restaurants in and around its neighborhood and a 7-11 directly across the street, Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto Shijo welcomes guests to one of the best areas in the city. Two blocks away, you will find a Boulangerie to die for within minutes from Nijo Castle. At Shijo-Omiya station, you can take the Randen tram to Arashiyama after a short, 10-minute walk from the hotel, Shijo Nishinotoin bus stop is one block away, and Karasuma station train station is close enough for you to walk with your carry-on and backpack without breaking a sweat for only a few minutes on a flat road as you make your way to catch the Limited Express train Osaka-Umeda on the Hanky-Kyoto Line, an affordable option that I highly recommend to any visitors travelling between the two cities for its comfort and value. Furthermore, the hotel provides access to a handy launderette behind the elevators (all you need is 100-yen coins as the washing machines automatically dispense detergent), in addition to free toiletries by the reception (take the bath salts to recover after a long day of temple hopping) and excellent coffee from a machine right by the elevators (the Americano coffee was particularly good), currency exchanger and umbrellas for any rainy day. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with both Japanese and Western options, and I will always remember the breakfast attendant, a lovely old lady who greeted us every morning and even handed me the tray sometimes. And if you enjoy starting your day with a big breakfast, do not hesitate to make a reservation with breakfast included. Every day, we also received free bottles of water and green tea bags in a paper bag with fresh towels even if we did not request room cleaning. The bed was so comfortable, I feel asleep immediately as I slipped into those sheets with a high thread count. Yet, I will remember this hotel first and foremost for its staff, incredibly diligent, considerate and helpful even after checking out.

We were there during the 'Naked' Autumn festival and enjoyed exploring the Castle grounds at night with all the coloured lights and sounds. The complementary sake and sweet treat were a bonus! We went back in the morning to view the gardens by day and see if we could spot some local birds - didn't disappoint!

You can purchase tickets for Nijo Castle online and do remember to take the full package which includes the tour of the palace (sorry, can't remember what it's called) which housed the Daimyo back then and has since been maintained. Very nice historical trip!

I think Nijo Castle is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Japanese castle, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle is known for its ornate architecture and its beautiful gardens. I particularly enjoyed seeing the Ninomaru Goten Palace, which is the main building in the castle. The palace is full of beautiful paintings and sculptures, and it gives a glimpse into the life of the shoguns, the military rulers of Japan during the Edo period. I also enjoyed walking through the Ninomaru Garden, which is a beautiful Japanese garden with ponds, waterfalls, and stone lanterns. The garden is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Kyoto. Overall, I think Nijo Castle is a must-see for anyone visiting Kyoto. It is a beautiful and fascinating place to learn about the history and culture of Japan. Here are some additional thoughts about Nijo Castle: The castle is located in a convenient location in Kyoto, and it is easy to get to by public transportation. There is a lot to see and do at the castle, including the Ninomaru Goten Palace, the Ninomaru Garden, and various other buildings and exhibits. The castle is well-preserved and well-maintained. The staff at the castle is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a visit to Nijo Castle if you are looking for a beautiful and informative experience in Kyoto.

The first 4 floors are just museum floors - art, history of the castle, etc. If you just want to see the incredible panoramic view at the top get in the line for the elevator which skips those middle floors and goes to the 5th. Otherwise you will have to climb all the flight of stairs regardless if you want to see what's on them. Get there early though - the elevator line gets very long very quickly and the entrance line is just as bad. People start queuing up in line before it even opens.

They sent me all the information I needed before my arrival. Check-in was smooth! I had an amazing stay here with my wife! The whole place was mine to use, and it had everything I needed. It’s not a super traditional Japanese house, but it still has those nice old touches that give it a nostalgic vibe. The beds were super comfy, and the location couldn't be better. It's just a few minutes to Nijo Castle and really close to the subway. Totally enjoyed my time here!

Great location right next to the historic Nijo castle, and a reasonable price when compared to other options. A little dated and compact room was very comfy and clean, and there were vending machines with drinks including beer at the reception. Getting here from Kyoto station requires a bus which can get a bit cramped, so if you have a lot of luggage, please consider taking a taxi instead.

The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel is in very close proximity to Nijo Castle. All other places could be reached by foot or via public transport within 30-40 minutes. Breakfast is not served in the hotel - we were given coupons for a bakery nearby with variety of baked goods, high carbohydrates mostly. The washing and drying amenities are on disposal, but the staff is not in touch with the owners of the laundry and it happened that we waited for 2 hour until someone decided to empty its load.

We were able to drop off our bags at the Stay Sakura guest center near Kyoto station and the bags were already in our room when we checked in later in the evening. This gave us some time to explore areas nearby the station. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Spacious and clean room with good facilities. Beds were clean and comfortable. Location is walkable distance to Nijo Castle (10m) and nearby places. Just 1 minute walk from the stay there is a cycle hire place which is the most convenient way to explore Kyoto with kids.

A nice quiet hotel very near Nijo Castle. An easy bus ride to Gion and other interesting areas - like the fabulous Nishika Market. Really useful restaurant map in room. There are plenty of good restaurants in this mainly upmarket residential area. Recommend in particular Soba Tatsuishi - go early to avoid queues. The hotel rooms and bathrooms are a good size and very quiet, and the beds comfortable. Note they only clean the room between guests but you can get clean towels etc from the corridor.
