RESI STAY Kyo Ryuvilux Nijo

What guests think

At RESI STAY Kyo Ryuvilux Nijo, travellers praise the spacious, apartment‑style rooms with in‑room laundry and kitchens, and a quiet residential location near sights, while many caution that the mandatory off‑site check‑in near Kyoto Station is inconvenient and time‑consuming.

Most find the property modern and clean, though a few report carpet stains, bathroom odors, or isolated housekeeping lapses. Expect a 10–20 minute walk to metro or buses; staff are generally friendly and a free shuttle runs from the check‑in office to the building. Several mention firm beds and balcony or window locks that limit fresh air. Overall, it suits independent, longer stays more than full‑service hotel seekers.

Room was spacious for us, 2 adults and 2 kids. AC system kept the room cool during the 90° heat outside. Having a table that fit 4 people was a plus because it makes eating easier and it helped our kids do schoolwork on their laptops. This property has the toilet and shower separate which we liked. Washer and dryer in room with detergent included. Location was not the best just because there were no train or bus stations close by. Nishiki Market was a 15 min walk. Kyoto station is a 10 min walk to the bus station plus another 7 min bus ride.

The hotel was a good stay overall, it was close to a lot of nearby places in Kyoto as it is in a residential area. There are only 4 towels so if you have 3 guests staying you will have to do a load of laundry every night if you want your towels to be dry the next day for your next shower. The check in process went smoothly although it is not near the accommodation. However, they supply a shuttle bus service to take you directly to your hotel so that solves the issue of transporting all of your luggage on a bus or train. Not a bad stay overall.

The start was a bit bumpy. To check in you do it at a separate location which is an office close to Kyoto station. But they offered a shuttle (a van) to drive me to the property and left me in front of the building. Ask for the shuttle, it is a no brainer. The property itself was fantastic and super spacious even by American standards. My room came with 2 queen sized beds and a small couch and a couple of chairs, kitchenette.They are weird about not having non-registered visitors. The property has a washer, but no dryer. They recommend using a drying feature on the bathroom but there is little place to hang your clothes.

It is an apt style so, we love that there’s a mini kitchen, fridge, microwave , washer and dryer (there’s an instruction on how to dry clothes inside the bathroom and a button to press -cool! Read their manual) the toilet is separate from the shower so it’s very good esp for our family of 4. Not a lot of dining options nearby but this wasn’t a problem to us, they’re all walkable anyway. We love Resi and when we come back, we’ll try other Resi Stays.

Checkin was unnecessarily long and drawn out. It took almost an hour in a hot overcrowded room. After the long trip there, the last thing we wanted to do was sit in a waiting room to check in to a hotel. It honestly began to feel like a bit of a scam. After processing, there was a van to drop is off. However, Upon entry to our room, there was a dirty towel on the floor and the toilet was dirty also and needed to be cleaned. Bed linens were spotty and questionable so we spread out towels to lay on . Would not recommend.

Hotel is located in a residential neighborhood. Very quite and had a community feel. Tue downside is that you have to walk for 10-15 minutes to the nearest bus stop or train station. Very close to Kyoto Imperial Place and Nishiki Market. (15-18 minutes walk). The property itself is clean and the whole apartment is spotless! No complains.

Location was ideal , quiet and pleasant area. The apartment was far too stuffy. We were not allowed to have the balcony doors open , only 10cm , so we had no access to fresh air. My partner has breathing difficulties and can’t have the air conditioning unit on all the time. Had we known this previously, we would have chosen a different apartment in Kyoto. It’s not ideal that it’s not mentioned in the posting either !! The carpets really need cleaning, lots of stains.

It’s our 2nd time long stay in Kyoto and we selected this hotel since the location. We stayed 23 nights in this hotel. The checking lobby is at Kyoto station and there was free shuttles to bring us to the hotel. The hotel location, room style/size/cleaness/convenience are quite good, I can give 5 stars . But two thins are really bad that only deserve 1 star to me. One thing is hotel only offers one time cleaning during my 23 night stay , to me which is acceptable but I’m not enjoy this condition also think not reasonable. Another thing is the worst and extreme dangerous! I even doubted it violate public safety law policy or law : the hotel locked the window of patio, they told me it not allowed to enter patio and they need to locked the window physically. Then I found out if there is fire alert or something dangerous happens, we don’t have chance to escape from the patio window. We don’t have chance and I don’t know if the glass could be easily broken while urgency. This is extremely not put hotel guest safety and life into a good method to deal with neighborhood quiet requirement( not allowed to enter patio). The window lockdown is indeed an extremely violation of hotel guest , I serious recommend the hotel find the way to deal with this, this serious safety concern give the hotel 0 stars since they didn’t consider fire/urgent escape into a good way.

We had issue at the self checkin as our key didn’t work at the room door. We had to wait for 45 minutes at the reception for them to figure out and assign the other apartment. We also didn’t like the bed as it was really hard. Otherwise very clean and in an amazing area.

We reserved the traditional Japanese room for our family of 6. I was very happy with our stay, but I will provide some details to help others decide if this property is for them. Check in: this takes time (plan 30-60 min), and must be done at Kyoto Station (read the email for exact location, it’s across the street). They do include a shuttle to the property and this is included in my check in time estimate. Location: wonderful, walking distance to many great sights and markets/shopping. The metro is a 7-8 minute walk, which is notable for the end of your stay. Property: very clean and new. Washing machine was great and shower doubles as a dryer. If you move hangers into the shower, you can dry a full load overnight. The room is small and I would not put more than 2 adults in the traditional room. The beds and pillows are very firm, my least favourite part of my stay. Rooms seemed well insulated for noise. Kitchen had basic amenities. Limited plug ins. For the Japanese room, 2 sleep on the tatami floor, which is in the same room as the dining table. If you move the table to one wall, there is space, and my daughters appreciated how the doors could close for privacy. With beds set up for 6, there is not a lot of room left, so best for people who plan to be out and about all day. Check out: self check out, so as quick as can be. You have the option of self storing luggage at your property or at the office in Kyoto station.

The room was a really good size. The building was clean and quiet. It was really nice to have laundry although it would be great if they provided a drying rack. This place is in a quieter neighborhood so definitely count on a lot of walking or using the bus to get around (the bus is very convenient and you can use your Suica card, just note that it's a flat rate of 230 regardless of how far you go). It would be nice to be able to use the balcony at this building but I guess the agreement with the locals does not allow it. Overall I would recommend this place.

Overall, the stay was good. The beds were clean, and it was nice to have a dining room area to relax in after a long day. As always with Resi Stay, the bathroom was great—the option to heat the shower is a really nice touch. The kitchen, however, is best suited for someone under 5’4” (162 cm). It was difficult to cook and wash dishes comfortably, and I bumped my head a few times. I’ve stayed at other Resi Stay properties and didn’t encounter this issue before. One downside was the patio doors—they were locked with a child safety feature and a metal bar, so they couldn’t even be slightly opened. When the room’s ventilation is turned on, it creates negative pressure because the vents pull in more air than the room allows to come in naturally. There’s a square panel above the patio doors that can be pressed to let in outside air, but the airflow is still weaker than what the ventilation system pulls out. It was also a bit confusing not having a reception desk onsite. I noticed several guests made the mistake of going directly to the hotel without checking in at the reception center first.

I had a very horrible experience with this hotel. Communication was terrible. I had booked the stay at this hotel a month in advance, I received confirmation that payment was made right away. On the day of, my family arrived at hotel in the afternoon. I was not able to get into the hotel. There was a phone number posted on the front I tried calling this number multiple times and could not get through. My grandparents and I waited for an hr with no place to sit. No cafe nearby either. I was finally able to get into the building when someone came out. Inside I found a phone that was able to reach the front desk Staff told me check in location was at a different area about 30-40 mins away. In the front of the hotel it states if checking in after hrs the hotel can provide a code to enter the room first and then go back to check in in the morning. I explained that I have 2 elderly and 8 luggage’s. Is it possible for them to provide the code for the room first my grandparents can stay there while I took the train back to the check in area. They told me no, they were not willing to accommodate for this need. But I had told them the stay for the 4 nights was already paid for in full but they refused. In the end had to book another hotel cause grandparents were not feeling well after long flight. Hotel refused to refund the money. They then called me and sent check in instructions the next day. No use at that time. Lied to expedia that they sent it prior to check in.

Do not stay at RESI Apartments, you’ll regret it. You can’t check in at the apartment itself; instead, you have to go to a separate check-in building located 45 minutes away. The process involves a 20-minute walk, a 25-minute metro ride, then waiting another 20 minutes to check in, followed by a shuttle ride to the actual apartment. The entire process takes almost 2 hours just to check in! I’ve never experienced such an inconvenient and ridiculous check-in process. There are plenty of other places to stay that don’t require this kind of hassle. Avoid RESI Apartments.

We really liked this hotel and suited our family. We stayed in the room with a double bed and tatami area where our 2 children stayed. We appreciated the washing machine with soap and 2 toilets! The area was quiet which suited us well and was safe walking from bus/ metro stations. We had plenty of transport options around also a good selection of bakeries to chose from for breakfast. I liked the drying room and they gave you laundry soap which was great. I would definitely stay here again, a short walk to the food market in Nishiki and surrounding shopping areas.

We are a family of four and stayed in this apartment for 5 nights. The apartment is in new condition and have good internal fixtures with two toilets and double sinks bathroom vanity which are great for multi people stay. The only negative is its location. It is a bit far from the main shopping street where all the main bus stops are. It is about 20 minutes walk which is all right at the start of a day but is quite tiring after a full day of sightseeing.

Il faut prévoir 10 minutes de marche entre le métro et l'appartement . Environnement tranquille et sécuritaire . Beaucoup d'offres de restauration de qualité à proximité, il faut toutefois réserver. Nous ne connaissions pas cette bannière qui offre beaucoup de logements de qualité . je recommande fortement.
