Stay SAKURA Kyoto Gion North

Central location, lovely staff, clean room and comfy beds

The staff was super kind and helpful. we sent our luggage from our Tokyo hotel to this hotel in Kyoto and they were able to send it to our room before we got there. The room we stayed in had a microwave, fridge, and washing machine which we used.This hotel was relatively close to the “Geisha District.” It is also close to a McDonald’s.

Very clean. Located on a quiet but major transport street. Bus stop right outside the hotel. Subway station around the corner. I found it very easy to get around Kyoto by bus from this hotel. There were at least 3 bus routes that passed by. Subway station was around the corner. Fresco grocery store was down the block. Family Mart was also down the block. MacDonald and other restaurants were close by as well. The kitchenette allowed us to bring in food and eat in the room while do our laundry! Walking 2 blocks takes you to the heart of the shopping district.

Every morning at 5:00am there was the sound of a gong.

Room was clean, fairly large, and having washing machine in the room was a blessing. Location seemed initially to be a bit remote - but in fact it was smack in the middle of everything we wanted to visit and easy walk to Sanjo (restaurants galore!). Definitely recommend Stay Sakura.
