Smile Hotel Kyoto Shijo

This was my first stay, and it was so good I honestly wondered if the price was really correct.The Room was simple but stylish, and I loved the atmosphere.Everyone at the front desk was very kind.I will definitely stay again!

I was able to enter my Room a little before the check-in time. While many nearby Hotels start check-in at 3:00 PM, being able to stay here from 2:00 PM until 11:00 AM the next day was the deciding factor. The location is also great—just a few minutes’ walk from Shijo-Karasuma—and it’s convenient for getting anywhere, not only via the subway and Hankyu line but also from the nearby Shijo Nishinotoin bus stop.The Room had everything I needed, including an air purifier permanently installed, so there was nothing lacking. If I had to mention one thing, it’s that you need to pick up amenities such as loungewear and toothbrushes near reception. However, I think taking only what you need is good from an eco-friendly perspective. It’s very reasonably priced, and it’s especially nice that stays in midwinter or midsummer can be reserved at particularly affordable rates.
