Great central location. Quiet, clean and compact. Ideal for short stay.
4.0 / 10.0
I enjoyed my stay here, this place is very close to Nishiki market, Ichiran ramen, and the Maikoya tea ceremony. It is very accessible to buses and trains. The hotel offers complementary ice cream. My only complaint was that the refrigerator was not really cold at all, and I was surprised that the hotel does not use a luggage forwarding service.

Ac wasn’t working in room staff made aware twice and did nothing, wouldn’t let us switch rooms either they said all rooms were like that AC wise and if that is the case definitely not worth staying during the summer maybe winter
5.0 / 10.0
It was wonderful experience to stay this hotel!! Clean, quiet, low price per day, two welcome water, high height of shower bathtub!!!!( I'm over 190cm) ( I never saw this height in Japan except some 5 star hotel XD) kind staff!! Seriously, this hotel is INSANE! I must stay this hotel when I come Kyoto again!!!
8.0 / 10.0
Stayed for 2 nights, bed wasnt made after first night. Great location and price, very close to subway station, with easy links to everywhere.
4.0 / 10.0
Cold and efficient. No way to change the air of the bath room, no way to open the curtain.
But curtain dark ensuring darkness even during the day. Relatively silent.

Very good.
8.0 / 10.0
The location of the hotel is perfect, but the rooms are very small. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is very friendly. However, it does not serve breakfast. Considering the amount of money you pay, it is very good.
8.0 / 10.0
Convenient location hotel, a few minutes walk from Shijo metro station. There are also plenty of bus stops within a few minutes walk too. The rooms are fairly standard for Japanese hotel rooms.
8.0 / 10.0
Very tiny room but comfortable bed. Locked windows if you are not facing street, so no fresh sir except fors little vent. Location isvery good, in walking distance to many places you want to visit.
8.0 / 10.0
The location was great, easy access to the train station and popular areas. Room was mostly clean and compact. Staff were friendly on check in but when we asked to leave our luggage for a couple hours before check in they just let you tag it yourself and leave it in the lobby not secured.. we were worried all day about our luggage even though we know Japan is known for being safe. There seemed to be not a lot of supervision or presence at the front desk unless you rang the bell. Also amenities that were not explained on check in we discovered ourselves based off our previous hotel.

Great and close to everything
3.0 / 10.0
As a hotel located in a bustling area of a famous tourist city, it's hard to understand why the front desk staff don't speak English. They solely rely on iPad translation for communication, and there's a lack of smiles with a cold and indifferent attitude. They don't offer any assistance . I won’t recommend this hotel

8.0 / 10.0
Room is small (as expected). They make use of the space very well. The location is great, close to all the transit lines & many food options near by.
10.0 / 10.0
Basic, clean, and friendly. The area has a lot of stuff to do as well.
6.0 / 10.0
Perfect location. Very simple rooms without windows.
10.0 / 10.0
Very close to train stations and its different exits. 5mins walk to Nishiki Market
8.0 / 10.0
The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants and boutiques.
The hotel has cool design and uses space efficiently.
There is little storage. Also, checking out late or checking in early is impossible. I found the same at my hotel in Tokyo, so these may be Japanese traits, not a quirk of this hotel.

Very nice
5.0 / 10.0
Very nice hotel on a side street yet right in the heart of of all the shopping and restaurants, including Terramachi and Nishiki Markets. Plus your minutes away from Pontocho and Gion. The hotel is quiet and our room very comfortable.
4.0 / 10.0
Pros: Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed, mini fridge, hot water pot, nice toiletries (and no wasteful tiny bottles). Cons: Room size was OK for one person though there was no space to keep my suitcase open and no shelves/drawers, so not good for a longer stay. Biggest complaint is that WiFi ranged from mediocre to zero and the chair was uncomfortable. It was hard to get work done.

10.0 / 10.0
Hotel M's Est Shijo - Karasuma, was a wonderful stay. Great location and very helpful staff. They tried their best to speak English with my partner and me and were always available to assist. The room was very clean, the bathroom was pristine, and had good water pressure. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C unit worked perfectly. The location of the hotel was amazing, just a minutes walk from Nishiki, the subway station, and numerous bus stops for easy access to the entire city.
8.0 / 10.0
This location was close to buses and main road for shopping like Nishiki’s Market. Room was smaller than average Japan hotel rooms. Bathroom space had just enough but nothing more. I’d say this place is good for short stays. Found the blanket had a stain under duvet cover. Interior of the room looks modern though. Customer service was ok. Overheard that they don’t call taxis.
