Quaint, quiet and comfortable place to stay. Great location. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The staff at the hotel was friendly and very helpful. The room was lovely and spacious, with every convenience. The location was great - walking distance to the Kabuki Theater, many nice shops and the Nishiki market.

Excellent location. About 5 min subway ride from Kyoto station and 4min walk to subways and buses. 3min walk to nishiki market. Ton of restaurants walking distance. Hotel is very clean, rooms are spacious and bathrooms are modern and new. Hotel staff are very courteous, speak ver well English and go out of their way answer questions on tourist attractions, restaurants and sites to visit. Loved our stay and will definitely come back.

Breakfast is basically an airline tray of food (likely made elsewhere) and is identical each day. The coffee is not drinkable. We had a major problem with one of our rooms on the first night that made the room unusable until the problem was rectified, and no compensation was offered.

The hotel is conveniently located close to very happening street near the bus stops and Daimaru department store. Hotel itself is very clean and the room is spacious, and the front desk is very helpful. There's only one thing the guests need to be aware of, the bathroom of family suite is located in the lower level of the room and the stairs might be little bit steep for older people, that's something to consider if you are traveling with seniors.

I highly recommend Kyoto Shijo Takakura. Location is fantastic with many restaurants nearby. It’s a few mins away from Shijo train station and buses as well as an easy walk to Gion and Nishiki market. Our room was spacious and had great amenities. I can’t say enough about the staff - so friendly and helpful, we absolutely loved our stay.

Exceptional service at a small boutique hotel. Exceptionally clean, and convenient. Excellent toiletries, with restock of everything on a daily basis. Comfortable beds. Refined and attentive service. There is both coffee and tea in room as well as in lobby, as well as cookies in the lobby. Well located - walking distance to subway and buses and two quick subway stations away from Kyoto train station.

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the Grandereverie Hotel! Very clean, modern, comfortable, large rooms, very comfortable bed, nice big shower, loved the bath tub soak packet - wonderful touch! Having stayed all over Japan in all different hotels, we were so happy with comfortable beds that weren't so stiff on your back. Thank you sooo much The location is PRIME. Wonderful restaurants and cocktail bars around that were filled with locals and not filled with tourists. Shopping is just a block away, we walked everywhere and it was super easy from this location. Also there is a train station right around the corner which made going to shrines, temples, bamboo forest, etc so easy. Last but not least, we had a very wonderful stay due to our hotel staff. Flora and Kieko, they went out of they way to help us. I was looking for local Japanese designers for street wear and (I forget which one but she was from HK and then spoken English so well and fluent in Japanese, super impressive lady) she went out of her way to research and give us suggestions. And she wants successful helping us out!! Loved our stay and recommend to everyone we know who's heading to Kyoto to stay here!

Will stay next time

Very modern and in looks room and attitude. Young staff but fully professional and strictly adhered to our wishes . Fantastic bathtub with lovely products. Best hotel bathroom ever . Breakfast in room at any time which was highly convenient . Walking distance to many sites and excellent shopping and markets nearby . 3 minute walk to tube station only 2 stops from Kyoto station. I love boutique hotels and this one was safe and perfect with so many choices of restaurant for dinner within minutes . Staff accurately helped with directions . We would stay here always in Kyoto but it small so we keep it a secret!!!

Cute modern looking boutique hotel. Spacious room and bathroom. Good service. Would recommend.

This was the best hotel we ended up staying during our 2 week trip to Japan. It's a small hotel with, I think, 8 rooms. Because of it's size, you feel more like a bed and breakfast type stay (in a good way). It's a very clean, modern hotel, in a good location (if 20min,at most, walk is too far, there is a bus and metro station right next to it). The breakfast was included in my stay but unlike other hotels with buffet here we were brought trays with the breakfast items to the room (you just have to specify what time). In a way I liked this, more elegant and completely satisfactory when it comes to amount of food (in a buffet types you end up around all the people around you pigging out and everything on the menu...). But the best aspect of this hotel was how nice and helpful the people were at the reception. Every time I needed some help with directions, advice or anything, they went above and beyond to make sure we got all the help we needed. Perfect. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely exceptional 5-night stay at the Shijo Takakura hotel and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Firstly, the staff are just incredible! It is very rare to see staff go to such efforts to make their visitors' stay as good as possible. All staff spoke fantastic English, were so friendly and went above and beyond with any request. They provided presents for our 2 children on arrival and were a source of amazing advice in relation to travel plans, restaurant reservations/suggestions etc. The room was just brilliant - it was huge by Japanese standards and had the best bathroom of any hotel I have ever stayed in. A delightful breakfast was brought to the room each morning (my 4 year-old son looked forward every morning to the staff member bringing up the food because they were so fun). The wifi was great and the supplied pajamas were so comfortable my wife purchased a pair. The hotel is in a sensational location - it is an easy walk to the middle of Kyoto and to Gion and is very close to 2 subway lines. We walked to Kiyomizu (the temple on the mountain) which took about 20-30min and was a lovely walk. There are an abundance of good restaurants around the hotel - one of our favorites was Hari which is literally next door. I honestly cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and we cannot wait to stay there again. It is an absolute gem in the heart of Kyoto.
