M's Hotel Sanjo Omiya

New and very clean and in a great location - just under 5 mins walk to the underground / metro. Sweet neighbourhood so you can get a feeling of how the people of Kyoto live. Mattress is good - not a futon, thankfully, though only a double size. Very clean bathroom, usb charging points were very handy.

The staff were super friendly and super helpful. The hotel's location is excellent as well, quiet still within walking distance of Kyoto's many sights. Also, the room was very clean. Room design was also very cool. Minimalism in its best form. Modern and cool, the colours, the mugs, the kettle, the blinds. Every little detail was a real joy to look at and use. Loved the ginger scented shower gel. It felt good on a tired tourist's skin! :-) If I ever visit Kyoto again, this is the place I'll stay at. I highly recommend it to all Kyoto visitors. No offence Tokyo, but Kyoto felt like the real imperial capital! :-) Which it was for many centuries, and deservedly so.

perfect location, facilities were great and it’s the most convenient place i’ve stayed at also including luggage transfer which lots of places don’t accommodate for, very easy to do as well which can be done online. located next to a temple and also amazing food and activities; amazing tea ceremony hosted by randy a tea grand master had a blast and amazing stories to share, nishiki market which is one bus ride away, many amazing food options!

it was very conveniently close to all the sightseeing sites within the area and Kyoto old town as well within walking distance to shopping area next to the hotel also i love the traditional look of the neighborhood along with the accommodating friendly staff who spoke fairly ok English.

My favorite trait about this location is the location. Everything is so close and if feels like you're in the middle of everything. Everything is walking distance including an outdoor shopping mall strip that includes a Creme Brulee Donut shop that is a must-try for everyone. There's a luggage area for you to leave your luggage locked away before your check in time and the check in process (as well as the check out process) was easy to follow that you do yourself at a kiosk and there's a receptionist desk to ask for help or a nearby phone that you can use to speak to an English speaker for help. The rooms are a bit cramp but it's great for how much the rooms cost. I would recommend this stay for anyone going to Kyoto especially since there's so much to do nearby.
