Easily our favorite stay in Japan! The breakfast is full of traditional Japanese options, which is lovely. Great coffee too. The bathtub is wonderful, the water pressure is great, and the AC works really well. The rooms are very small, but this is normal and is fine for two adults. Good location as well, if you don't mind the buss or a small walk for train. We've stayed twice and we will absolutely stay again next time we're in Kyoto. We might even just stay at Sotetsu Fresa exclusively when in Japan. 💚

The staff were very kind and helpful to us, spoke great English as well. All the staff were very kind and respectful to us. I’m glad they let us leave our luggage at the hotel 1hr before our check in time so we can explore kyoto a bit. My husband and I enjoyed our room because it was so spacious, clean and comfortable. The AC worked very well for us and everything in our room made the experience great. This hotel is about a 8 minute walk from the nearest train station and approximately a 15-20 minute walk to the popular shopping and market. So if you don’t mind walking or taking the train, then this hotel is a great option. My husband and I mainly walked and used the trains to get around so it was very convenient for us. If your looking for a hotel I recommend this one.

A Great Sotetsu Inn in Kyoto

Second time visiting Kyoto and stayed at this Sotetsu inn in the Gojo area. Got upgraded to a more spacious room, which is quiet and comfortable. You can take buses directly to many sights in Kyoto near this hotel, and the Shijo shopping street is only a short walk from this hotel.

The hotel was amazing. The staff were so nice and greeted us every time we walked into the lobby. The rooms were a great size and it was walking distance to many great areas in Kyoto. They were also super helpful with helping us get our luggage delivered directly to our next hotel. Could not recommend this place more for your stay in Kyoto.
