Clean, spacious, tasteful and comfortable rooms. Onsen and sauna are immaculate and well designed. Location is easily walkable to many transportation and dining options while avoiding the crowds around Kawaramachi. Breakfast is decent with a quality spread.

My partner and I loved this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room felt luxurious and clean. The onsen was also an amazing experience - we had it to ourselves on the afternoon we visited! An easy walk or metro ride to Nishiki market and local sights - I’d definitely recommend this hotel

We had an amazing stay! Beautiful hotel; amazing sauna; the food looked great but we didn’t eat here; the staff was very nice, and the room was super clean. Unfortunately, they do not have a washer and dryer for guests but you can pay for a laundry service. Side note, the design and theme are probably my favorite style!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Yugen Kyoto Shijo. The hotel is very new and it shows, with everything being in great condition. Very comfortable mattress, nice big bath in the room (so big it takes 30 minutes to fill), and the rooms are fairly large for a Japanese hotel. Breakfast was good quality but the selection is not huge, however we were happy with it. The location is good for walking to many restaurants and bars, and there are bus stops and subway stations within reasonable distance.
