What guests think
At Tassel Hotel Sanjo Shirakawa, travellers praise the quiet, convenient riverside setting beside the subway, a calm lounge with complimentary evening drinks, and friendly, helpful staff, though a few mention minor housekeeping issues and limited English at times.
Rooms are modern and generally comfortable, with standout showers and some nice river or city views, but a few guests noted limited storage, light leakage from non-blackout blinds, and fixed windows that do not open. Breakfast feedback is mixed—some found it good value while others wanted more variety or availability—and the overall stay leans low-key and comfortable.

Facilities
The lounge and lobby are appreciated, offering complimentary tea or coffee by day and free evening drinks and snacks; facilities feel modern but fairly limited beyond these amenities.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Kyoto for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service here was fantastic - we arrived a few hours before check in and dropped our bags off and when we returned to check in the bags had been taken to our room. Check in was really smooth and speedy too! The room itself was spotless and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay - including a very comfortable bed! The shower has to be the best one I’ve ever used in a hotel - it felt like you were in a spa and the toiletries were really high quality too! The lobby area was really modern and the hotel offered free drinks and snacks for a couple of hours every night which was the perfect chance to relax after a day of exploring! The location was really good too! I would highly recommend a stay here - I would definitely return when visiting Kyoto again 10/10

お部屋、設備は新しく、とてもきれいです。 コンパクトですが、ゆえに館内が混み合わず、良い。 駅からのアクセスも抜群に良く、近くに有名寺院やお食事処もあります。 河原町や烏丸あたりのホテルに比べると、夜は落ち着いており、静かに過ごせました。 ホテルでフリーのアルコールや軽食を用意してくれており、私は下戸ですが、梅ジュースや和菓子サービスもありましたので楽しめました。 また利用させていただきたいと思います。

We loved our stay at this stylish small hotel. Our corner room was spacious, with sensational views over the city, hills and Shirakawa River. The bed was firm, the shower strong and the amenities were decent for our five night stay. One of the things we liked most about the hotel was its lobby and lounge area, with picture windows taking in the river and autumn leaves and books to enjoy on a cold afternoon. It had such a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was served here (delicious and good value at 1500 per person), as was complimentary tea and coffee during the day and drinks in the evening, which we enjoyed before heading out to dinner. The staff were really nice and so helpful, and we liked that it was in a quiet part of Kyoto, yet close to various sights and restaurants and right next to a subway station making it easy to get around. Highly recommended.

Great hotel and good location just off the beaten path, but if you are walkers, then this place is for you. :15-:20 minutes to anywhere. Lawsons convenience store right next store with wonderful snacks and food. People who run hotel are very kind. Wish there was a breakfast option available to those that didn't sign up. Also, we didn't know that our kids had to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. They had horrible sleep. Wish it was the room with the photo. Also, the BEST shower and water pressure I have EVER had!

Great hotel and good location just off the beaten path, but if you are walkers, then this place is for you. :15-:20 minutes to anywhere. Lawsons convenience store right next store with wonderful snacks and food. People who run hotel are very kind. Wish there was a breakfast option available to those that didn't sign up. Also, we didn't know that our kids had to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. They had horrible sleep. Wish it was the room with the photo. Also, the BEST shower and water pressure I have EVER had!

お部屋、設備は新しく、とてもきれいです。 コンパクトですが、ゆえに館内が混み合わず、良い。 駅からのアクセスも抜群に良く、近くに有名寺院やお食事処もあります。 河原町や烏丸あたりのホテルに比べると、夜は落ち着いており、静かに過ごせました。 ホテルでフリーのアルコールや軽食を用意してくれており、私は下戸ですが、梅ジュースや和菓子サービスもありましたので楽しめました。 また利用させていただきたいと思います。

We loved our stay at this stylish small hotel. Our corner room was spacious, with sensational views over the city, hills and Shirakawa River. The bed was firm, the shower strong and the amenities were decent for our five night stay. One of the things we liked most about the hotel was its lobby and lounge area, with picture windows taking in the river and autumn leaves and books to enjoy on a cold afternoon. It had such a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was served here (delicious and good value at 1500 per person), as was complimentary tea and coffee during the day and drinks in the evening, which we enjoyed before heading out to dinner. The staff were really nice and so helpful, and we liked that it was in a quiet part of Kyoto, yet close to various sights and restaurants and right next to a subway station making it easy to get around. Highly recommended.

This hotel is amazing! The room was very nice, and they make a great experience for travellers in the reception area. It’s walkable distance to a lot of sightseeing areas, and otherwise had a metro station and bus stops next door that can take you anywhere. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Kyoto for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service here was fantastic - we arrived a few hours before check in and dropped our bags off and when we returned to check in the bags had been taken to our room. Check in was really smooth and speedy too! The room itself was spotless and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay - including a very comfortable bed! The shower has to be the best one I’ve ever used in a hotel - it felt like you were in a spa and the toiletries were really high quality too! The lobby area was really modern and the hotel offered free drinks and snacks for a couple of hours every night which was the perfect chance to relax after a day of exploring! The location was really good too! I would highly recommend a stay here - I would definitely return when visiting Kyoto again 10/10

We loved our stay at Tassel Hotel. It is stylish and well located along the canal. The neighborhood is quiet but very walkable to major sites and steps away from an underground train station. We would definitely (hopefully!) stay hereagain.

Beautiful hotel, good space in the rooms. The lobby is lovely to sit in next to a stream. The staff are outstanding, they helped us sending our luggage smoothly to the next location and were very helpful. I wish they had pointed out that there are free drinks and food in the evening as I did not realise until our check out date!! Would recommend, the best shower I've had!!
