What guests think

Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Omiya earns praise for its convenient location near buses, subway and eateries, friendly staff, and generally clean, modern, quiet rooms that offer good value, making it a practical base for exploring Kyoto.

Rooms are frequently compact with limited storage, and some guests found mattresses hard or pillows uncomfortable. Housekeeping is on an every 3–4 day schedule, and a few reviews mention odors, stray hairs, or musty bathrooms. Facilities are basic: coin laundry is handy but limited or slow to dry, and there is no full restaurant on site. Suited to travelers who prioritize simplicity over extras.

I stayed here for a couple nights and it was a great experience overall, with terrific value. The location is excellent, easy to get around by bus from the hotel. The front desk staff is very courteous, even if their English skills are somewhat limited. My room was near perfect (as a solo traveler) - good AC, nice bedding, very clean. There's only a handful of Japanese channels on TV, but it's a smart device with Netflix, Youtube, etc. The wifi isn't too fast, but adequate for basic things. Other amenities include an ice machine, laundry room, and a communal microwave. My room had glasses, mugs, an electric kettle, slippers and a mini-fridge.

Great Stay with a Few Minor Issues I recently stayed at this hotel in Kyoto, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The room was notably larger than the one I stayed in while in Tokyo, which was a nice surprise and made the stay more comfortable. The hotel offers all the amenities you could need, including a washing machine and tumble dryer, which I found particularly useful during my stay. However, the cleaning could have been better. I noticed some hair on the walls of the toilet, which was a bit off-putting. Aside from that, everything else was great, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. If they improve the cleaning standards, this place would be near perfect.

Overall, our stay at Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Omiya was good. The front desk staff were helpful upon arrival and stored our luggage for us since we arrived prior to check-in time. The room was small but that's pretty typical in Japan. We brought 1 large suitcase and 2 smaller suitcases and we were able to open up all 3 suitcases at the same time when using the area by the entrance. The bed was comfortable, there was a large desk, and mini fridge in the room. We found the washroom quite small and it smelled very musty. We also used the laundry services but the dryer was terrible. We ran our cycle a few times in the dryer and still had to hang dry all of our clothes. If it wasn't for the musty smell and poor laundry machines, we'd give the hotel a higher rating. Overall, the hotel was walkable to major areas such as Nishiki Market and Gion (about 20 min) or just a few min walk to train stations and a short ride away.

Location

Location is a strong point, with quick access to Omiya/Shijo stations, buses and subway, and many sights within a short ride or walk; the setting is tucked off the main road and generally quiet. A few note it’s slightly away from central hotspots, but transit links make getting around easy.

Travelodge is a budget hotel chain with a reputation for a nice place to stay, albeit with notoriously hard beds, and this was exactly the case in Kyoto. So, yes, the beds aren't great and not really conducive to a great night's sleep, but everything else about this place is great! The rooms are spacious, well-decorated and even contain a little sofa for you to sit on while you watch the TV. There is plenty of room to breathe, The en-suite bathrooms are relatively accessible and easy to operate, The hotel itself provides a breakfast buffet (for a price) and coin-operated laundry machines which really help the lightly-packed traveller. Of course there are drink vending machines nearby and in the hotel itself, but the hotel does provide free hot drinks in the rooms, like they do in the West. In terms of location, the hotel itself is within walking distance of a main road with links to the Kyoto bus network; I would personally recommend getting a taxi to the hotel after hours, but that's not a necessity. Whether you're a tourist wanting to "do" Kyoto or just a gamer looking for a place to shoot videos, this is the hotel for you, at a very reasonable price. It's nothing exceptional... but it's certainly got everything you need!
