Very unique hotel. Staff incredibly helpful, rooms were superb, and location was amazing.
Only negative was that in order to reach your rooms, you had to go through the lobby/restaurant area which at times could be quite busy.

Location: 10/10 It's less than 5 mins walk from the station.
Staff: 10/10 Nice and friendly
Room condition: 10/10 Room is small (twin beds) But due to the good design. there are space under the bed platform to slide the suitcase in. I love not seeing the suitcase in the room. The room layout, color scheme is very well design especially lighting design. There is no downlight in the ceiling, they use all indirect light decorative light which give a warm residential feeling to the room. I love the way of just one downlight in the shower to highlight the amenities shelve. that's lovely.
Only one comment is not enough set down space to put cloth near to shower room. I have to walk outside the bathroom to get my cloth and walk bath to the bathroom. Should at least has 1 or 2 robe hooks inside the bathroom.
Room is very sound sealed. Hardly hear any noise from the corridor. The room entrance door has a proper door closer and sound sealed
The selection of hairdryer is very nice. Really go well with the room design. I love they way they pay attention to this little thing.

Trendy stay in the heart of Kyoto. We loved the mix of traditional Japanese and modern aesthetics of this place. The lobby smelled amazing, a mix of room freshener and whatever was cooking up in the restaurant. Their breakfast is very good and convenient if you book the night before, only 1000yen. The rooms were very beautiful and beds comfortable. Our only qualm was the lack of storage for clothes. We were unable to unpack as there were no drawers. There is under the bed storage for bags which is handy and good for space. Another detail missed was there was no hanger for the hand towel in our room sink. A lil inconvenient but no problem.

Great stay
It was a clean and beautiful hotel. Built only a year ago. However, the room was too small and a bit far from the major touristy areas. If that is not an issue for you and don’t mind walking fifteen minutes to the main area, it’ll be a wonderful stay. The staff are especially welcoming and friendly.

The Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel was without a doubt, my favorite hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan. Absolutely lovely design, comfortable beds, and amazing water pressure in the shower. The neighborhood was convenient and walkable, with options for sights, food, and coffee nearby! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and recommend to friends traveling to Kyoto.
