Higashiyama Ward Vacations from $544

Our stay in here was amazing, the staff were very friendly and kind.

We enjoyed our visit to Kyoto and the accommodations provided by the Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa. The hotel is located on a quiet street but not far from local attractions. It is somewhat centrally situated between the main train station and the Gion district, which worked out well for us as we used this property as our hub while exploring Kyoto and also taking day trips. The room was a decent size and well equipped with everything we needed. It had a small kitchen that we didn't use, but also a refrigerator and washer/dryer that we did use. The drying feature in the shower area worked surprisingly well and it was nice to have clean clothes before moving on in our journey. The staff was also very friendly and helped us in many ways, including with dinner reservations. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again when I am in Kyoto.

Located just across from the Kyoto garden our stay at the Screen was pleasant. The concierge spoke great English and was very helpful when we needed to make reservations. We stayed in the designer suite which was probably one of the largest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. We ate breakfast there every day except for the one day we were getting up very early to go to the Fushimi Inari Taisha. We let them know that we wouldn’t be needing breakfast and they offered to make us sandwiches instead to take with us. I’m not sure if this is a common thing in Japan but I thought it was so nice and accommodating. I really appreciated it. It’s a little far from train stations so if that’s important to you keep that in mind but if u don’t mind a walk go for it. I didn’t think it was too far to walk.

The room is really big with a tatami area where you can relax. You can move the beds around easily. Everyone in the front desk speaks fluent English. It has an old school key lock. It only has roughly 12 rooms. So even though it only has 1 washer, it was empty every time we have to use it. It also had an ice and water machine. It is in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to many shrines. The only minor complaint I have is there was a weird smell coming from either the washroom or the shower room. We had to turn the exhaust fan on the entire time to get rid of it. Also the TV was positioned in away such that it took me 5 minutes to connect the HDMI.

Everything was great.
