Across many reviews, Kyoto Four Sisters Residence is praised for its spacious, apartment-style rooms with kitchens and laundry, very clean interiors, and friendly, English-capable staff, set in a quiet neighborhood near Nijo Castle and everyday conveniences.
Guests frequently highlight practical touches such as clear appliance instructions, efficient luggage forwarding and taxi arrangements, and smooth self check-in. Many like the nearby cafes, bakeries, supermarkets and bus/subway links, while a few note longer walks to stations or limited evening activity. Comfort feedback mentions firm or small beds for some sleepers, occasional noise from neighboring units, and isolated comments about bathroom space or heating. Overall, expect practical, home-like accommodations ideal for independent travellers.

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at Four Sisters Residence. Our apartment was spacious and tidy. We especially liked that the bathroom had a large sink and has a great drying system that can dry clothes overnight after wash. The toilet design was good for the environment and was clean. We also like the kitchen that we can cook our own meals. The location of the apartment is also great that it was close to the supermarket, train station, and bus stops. We loved our stay and will definitely recommend to others.

It was good to have a kitchenette and washing/drying facilities in the room. Pretty much had everything we needed. If you were staying for a longer time and planning to eat in more then maybe more dinnerware, etc would be required. Bathroom was a bit cramped

位置很好，周圍都是餐廳小酒館，性價比都是很高，若果喜歡休閒不用出外太遠，找美食的推薦這一間民宿。停車方便，但唯一缺點是停車位先到先得，沒有免費。房間用品齊全，乾淨整潔，很喜歡他的開放式廚房以及露台。

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.

This place was a great find. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They received our luggage and had it waiting in our room for us when we arrived. This was more like an apartment, so we had 2 bedrooms, with 2 large beds in each room, that could be shut off from the main area. There was a living room, full kitchen, and dining area. It was nice to be able to do laundry also. This allowed us to not pack a lot of clothes for our trip. This is in more of a residence area, but subway, bus, and grocery store are all within walking distance. Staff was helpful with calling us a taxi when we needed it until we figured out how to use the Go Taxi app ourselves. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

The staff were very welcoming and explained a lot of what we needed to know from the start. We loved the no shoes policy! The room was spacious and having three rings to cook on was brilliant. Inside the room was a booklet with lots of information about the residence and things to do locally. There was an option to have an upper body massage by a local therapist, which was very relaxing. We would absolutely stay here again!

Very nice hotel. The room is very spacious and full well equipped kitchen, washing machine. It’s very clean. It’s located very near train station and bus stop. The supermarket is right nearby within walking distance . I would definitely recommend Kyoto Four Sisters Residence if you come to Kyoto.

A very nice basic property. The receptionist assisted us to book Xmas dinner at a restaurant for 8 people. We had 2 bedroom apartments; washing machine and clothes dryer was well used over our stay. Small kitchen with fridge and freezer. Easy walk to buses, trains or supermarkets (7eleven, lessons). Beds were comfortable. Nice quaint area, very quiet. Walking distance to Kyoto palace, public transport required for other tourist locations (but generally just a bus away (or bus & train). There were bicycles for rent at the hotel, we did not use them, Would recommend anyone wanting an apartment to stay here.

This is our second time staying at this property, and we love it. My family keeps asking to return to this property. It is literally a home away from home. We buy groceries and cook food at home, as well as walk around to the local restaurants. The bus stop and subway stations are a short walk away, and it’s easy to get to Kyoto Station or Karasuma area. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Kyoto. They also offer a spa treatment that you can easily schedule online. It made our trip even extra relaxing. Can’t wait to return again!

We stayed in a two bedroom unit as a family after reading so many (surprising) positive reviews. We found the location lacking. Nothing decent was nearby and had to walk 20 minutes to most anything. The unit looked very nice when we first arrived and more spacious than most Japan rentals. However, it was deceiving. The shower was absolutely terrible, the laundry meant that you hung the wet wash in the laundry room and turned on the heater?! All the items felt cheap, the most thing towel and toilet paper I had come across. And you can literally hear everything. Every footstep it felt like. It was kind of a nightmare. We left early.

The accommodation is in a quiet residential area close to the subway and other sites. The room was very clean and in good order. There are lots of notices in the room about being considerate by not talking loudly and quiet times from 9pm to 8am. However, we seemed to be the only ones observing this well intentioned instruction as other guest simply don’t. On our stay we were awoken or disturbed by the people above who clearly had kids running around upstairs and the room connected to ours a baby screaming! This was a pity because there was no road noise and everyone in Japan seems to be considerate. What doesn’t help is that the reception is on minimal hours, i.e only operate when you out site seeing! So when you want to ask them to speak with the noisy customers they are no where to be seen! We were expecting better than the experience we received given the price. Having to constantly ask for coffee sachets was another tedious task. We only wanted enough for 2 cups a day, but you had ask for refills! So nice place but not as good as we had expected:-(

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.

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.

This hotel was a surprise. We have never been to Kyoto and didn't know where to stay, but this hotel had friendly staff who helped with sending our luggage to Osaka (our next stop) and the apartment was very spacious with separate rooms and comfortable beds. The location was ideal, next to cafés, restaurants and public transit. Bus stops are nearby. The drying room in the bathroom took some time to figure out but after washing our clothes, the room dried our clothes perfecly. I wish we had these in the USA! I would stay here 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.

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.

This place was a great find. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They received our luggage and had it waiting in our room for us when we arrived. This was more like an apartment, so we had 2 bedrooms, with 2 large beds in each room, that could be shut off from the main area. There was a living room, full kitchen, and dining area. It was nice to be able to do laundry also. This allowed us to not pack a lot of clothes for our trip. This is in more of a residence area, but subway, bus, and grocery store are all within walking distance. Staff was helpful with calling us a taxi when we needed it until we figured out how to use the Go Taxi app ourselves. I wouldn't hesitate to book here 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.

Location
Quiet residential setting near Nijo Castle, cafes, supermarkets and bus/subway links makes sightseeing straightforward. A few guests felt stations or attractions required longer walks and that evenings were quiet.

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.

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.

It was great to have a non- hotel experience on our trip to Japan. The property was a 7 min walk from the subway, quiet, and had everything or family needed.

Our family loved our stay here. The room/apartment was clean and spacious. We were able to relax and cook in the kitchen, as well as do laundry. There are convenience stores nearby, so we can shop easily. There are also nearby train and bus stations for easy access to transportation. We will definitely stay here again.

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.

A very nice basic property. The receptionist assisted us to book Xmas dinner at a restaurant for 8 people. We had 2 bedroom apartments; washing machine and clothes dryer was well used over our stay. Small kitchen with fridge and freezer. Easy walk to buses, trains or supermarkets (7eleven, lessons). Beds were comfortable. Nice quaint area, very quiet. Walking distance to Kyoto palace, public transport required for other tourist locations (but generally just a bus away (or bus & train). There were bicycles for rent at the hotel, we did not use them, Would recommend anyone wanting an apartment to stay here.

Love the location. It was in a quiet neighbourhood but still very close to transport and food options. It was such a great area to wake up and find a little coffee shop and wander the street early. The room was a good size for our family of four and had everything you needed, particularly the washing machine. The beds were also really comfy. We would come back and stay here again

This hotel is in a nice, quiet part of Kyoto close to Nijo castle. It is also close to a subway station and a number of good restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and off-hours access was no problem. The staff at reception were very helpful and helped us ship our luggage and find various services within the city. Would definitely stay here again.
