Quiet Kyoto Neighbourhood Gem

Four Sisters is a very well-run apartment hotel located in a quiet Kyoto neighbourhood. There are lots of good quality bars restaurants, cafes bakeries combinis supermarkets etc all within a five-minute walk. It's only a short walk to public transport which means the amazing sights of Kyoto are readily accessible. We stayed a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor that was very clean and spacious and well appointed. My family of two adults and two kids really enjoyed our five-night stay at Four Sisters and would love to stay there again.

Kyoto Four Sisters Residence was a wonderful place to stay for our visit to Kyoto. Conveniently located and easy pick up/drop off spot for Go-Taxi. There are many wonderful places to eat close by and it was not on the main street which was great. The sweet bakery next door was perfect for breakfast grab-n-go, especially for our little children. Check in and out was so easy. Communication with staff as well as email was quick and efficient. The room fit our party of 6 very comfortably and felt like home away from home. I highly recommend staying here. We will certainly be staying here again on our next visit to Japan.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. Easy to access from a subway station or nearby bus stops. In a very quiet neighbourhood. Staff very helpful. The apartment had everything you wanted for a short stay. It comfortably accommodated my wife and I and our daughter and 8 year old grandson. Lots of very helpful tourist advice as well.

We had a great time at Kyoto Four Sisters Residence! The location is close to bus and train transportation, which makes it easy to see lots of different places, from temples to the downtown shopping district. Room was spacious and we were able to borrow a rice cooker. We will be staying here whenever we visit Kyoto again. :)

The property is so clean and accessible to the grocery store but most of all, close to Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. Special mention to Mickie who did a superb job in booking us a ride from Kyoto to Osaka. We were satisfied with Mickie with her excellent English. Thanks also to the driver who took us to Osaka. We did not have a hard time in communicating because of her superb English.

I really enjoyed how this property gives you a local vibe. I didn’t see many other foreigners in the area, it felt very local. The area felt safe and we had no problems checking in and checking out. The room has everything you need if you plan to stay for a long duration. They have a washer and you can dry your clothes either in the washroom or outside in the balcony. A kitchen and also very spacious bedroom, living room. I especially enjoyed their shower and tub which was very relaxing after a long walking day. One down side, its a little of a further walk from the nearest station.

The apartment was very complete and modern. We loved the kitchen and the diningtable so that we could have breakfast in our apartment. A good supermarket is on 10 minutes walking distance. Also Nijo Castle is on walking distance as well as the busstop and the trainstation. The bathroom has a very nice dryingsystem which we loved. Also there was enough closetspace which is quite unusual in Japan. The only two things we didn't like was the fact that the matresses were quite hard and the double bed in the separate bedroom was a bit too small. But it is a very good place to stay.

We had a lovely stay at Kyoto Four sisters Residence. Their property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and easily accessible to busses and the Karsuma Line (Subway). We stayed at the one bedroom. Our unit has a washer (and uses the heating feature in the bathroom to hang our clothes to dry). The property is very well maintained and for longer term stay, you can even rent a rice cooker from them! Aya from the front desk was able to reserve a Kaiseki dinner for us at Tategami, Kyoto Style Japanese Restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. The waitress was able to explain each dish with limited English. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and will stay here again if we return to Kyoto in the future.

Almost everything was fantastic. From the kitchen, to rooms and the bathroom, everything was great. The rooms were gpod size, clean, well maintained and well equiped all round. It felt really a home away from home. The bathroom doubles as the clothes drying room too as the bathroom system has a heater/ventilation/dryer feature. Though I might still had preferred a dedicated clothes dryer machine, but the workflow still happen to suit me well and this was the first time in cold country where I can feel warm after a bath in winter. The staff were helpful too, able to provide us with baby high chairs etc. And were very polite. Maybe one issue was that the main hall's heater was not really strong enough to heat up the hall, kitchen and ensuite room. Convenience stores, supermarkets and train station were ard 10 minutes walk away (I was with a toddler). The surroundings was very peaceful. Highly recommended.

A fantastic place to stay in a very cool neighborhood. Close to the Gyoen National Garden too which we enjoyed. Close to some great food options as well, try the Waygu Samurai a few minutes away for an awesome culinary experience! The house manual was very helpful since the appliances were very foreign to us and we would have struggled trying to use them without help. The staff spoke English and we were able to converse easily even with my limited Japanese skills . My only slight complaint was the bed, I know it's a matter of personal taste but the bed went past firm straight to hard. It was very effective to make sure I got up early to sightsee though. Maybe have a slip on mattress cover available for those of us that would like a softer bed? I want to stress though that I will still be back and I am very happy with our stay and it wasnt a huge problem though.
