Great experience!

Booked this so I was close to Gion Matsuri festival. The evening events in the run up to the float parade took place on the street of the hotel. So right in the middle of the action! Very close to the subway station and 7-Eleven. Breakfast buffet offered good selection of Japanese and western options. Coin laundry facilities had clear English instructions.

Love it
4.5
Clean, efficient, comfortable, and easy access to the subway and the Hankyu train line. Friendly staff. Breakfast offers a variety of items with local specialties, plus its price is very reasonable. The Gion area is within walking distance.
4.5
You get what you paid for, so basic but has everything you need. Convenient access to the Karasuma line and a larger bus stop but off the main road. 7-11 and several restaurants close by. Required room cleanings every three days are a bit annoying but that’s a Sotetsu Fresa requirement (I stayed four days and didn’t want to partially pack up just for cleaning).

Review of Sotetsu Fresa Inn, Kyoto, Japan
My recent stay at Sotetsu Fresa Inn in Kyoto was a delightful experience. Here's a breakdown of my impressions:

The property stands out for its exceptional cleanliness. From the lobby to the rooms, every area was meticulously maintained, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment.
*Staff and Service
The staff at Sotetsu Fresa Inn were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Their exceptional service truly enhanced our stay. They were patient and efficient, especially when we needed assistance with shipping our luggage to Tokyo. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed.
*Location
The hotel's location is another highlight. It's conveniently situated within walking distance of a 7/11 and the train station, making it easy to access essential services and transportation. Additionally, it's less than a 30-minute walk to the bustling Nishiki Market, various shopping areas, and numerous restaurants. This prime location allowed us to explore Kyoto with ease.

This hotel is well located, about 10 minutes away from Nishiki market and close to the main shopping strip and transport (bus and train). Check in is via a machine. Has coin laundry (300 yen, includes detergent) and dryer was 100 yen for 30 minutes. Breakfast was great. Simple, wide range of options and delicious. Staff were very helpful.

I stayed here for 3 nights and chose it because of the central location as I’d not been to Kyoto before.
It was in a great location - just 2 stops north of the main station on the train and with lots of buses round the corner. I ended up using buses most of the time.
My room was very comfortable and big for a single. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I was able to check in early (for a fee).
Breakfast was included in my room rate and it was fantastic with a mixture of Japanese and western dishes every day.
I would definitely stay here if I were to visit Kyoto again.
4.5
Nice big rooms, friendly staff, close to everything. Would stay again.
4.5
Arrived at hotel via Hankyu train from Osaka was super easy, one of the stops is by the hotel. Lobby was homely feeling, staff helped us with check in. The room and bathroom was spacious, bright and super clean. We had breakfast which was a nice start to the day, felt like a home cooked meal with a changing menu. It's very much Japanese style so don't expect much western options. Location is quieter, but it's a short stroll to one end of the Nishiki market.
4.5
We were given an upgrade at check-in, which was a nice surprise. The Staff were very friendly and helpful.
4.5
I give 5 stars to the excellent personal, also the one at the restaurant 👌
4.5
Lovely staff that speak and understand English well. Easy check in and check out. Great location- it’s about a 20 minute walk to the Teramachi/Nishiki market. Right next to a train station which is 2 stops away from Kyoto Station. 7/11 is a few meters away. Laundry washer and dryer was very useful. Dryer needed more than 60 mins to dry our clothes but washer was easy and efficient to use. Very pleased we stayed here during our trip to Kyoto. Would highly recommend - affordable yet great option.

Property was clean and safe and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was excellent!
What I didn’t like: Room was small and minimalist. Door frame on bathroom was raised. Hurt feet. Pillows were small, only one each. No electrical outlets in bathroom. No way to plug in 3 pronged power cord for laptop.
