Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

It was a very convenient hotel to visit many popular areas of Kyoto. I wish there was a dedicated eat-in area since there are so many conbinis nearby for an easy meal. It was very clean but please not that laundry service is only for guests staying at least 4 days.

The bed was comfy, room was clean except there was this smell that i couldn't identify coming from the bathroom. Did not like the laundry area. Only 2 washing machines for 10 levels of guests. Every laundry time was like a war zone with everyone competing to use them.

清潔感はあり、利便性も良かったです。 駐車場がなく駐車したところが非常に高かったです......

There is a huge step up into the bathroom. Carpet had quite few marks. Staff great, needs more laundry machines always a queue. Needs to Have black t bags available.

駐車場が近くにあまりない

Bel emplacement pour se déplacer à travers Kyoto. Par contre, uniquement 2 laveuses/sécheuses pour tout l'immeuble, et sans système informatique pour avertir lorsque c'est en cours d'utilisation....

The location was well located. The room was comfy but had some high steps to get used too, which was a little annoying and the frig is tiny. We used their laundry machines which they only had 2. Couldn’t get in until midnight as a lot of people were using them. We may have had to big a load in as they took forever to dry. The staff member actually finished the drying mode for us leaving the clothes in a bag for us to pick up later, that was nice as it was now 3:00am. They only clean your room if you are there for 4 nights or more, we were there for 3. Also, to get extra towels, you had to go to the front desk to get them. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Bra hotell, hjälpsam personal. Bra rum om än små, men det var förväntat. Stannade 3 nätter och det enda som kan vara bättre är möjligheten att tvätta kläder.

Our room smelled like cigarette smoke and there were no rooms available to switch into. It definitely seemed that the previous guests had smoked in the room and cleaning staff had turned over the room and not mentioned the smoke smell. Had we had any health issues this would have been a huge problem. The front desk worker was very nice and tried his best to help us, but unfortunately did not have the resources to remedy the situation. He was so nice we did not demand a refund for the night, but this was a very frustrating situation especially since this hotel is one of the few to not allow free cancellations or reservation changes at all. We spent the night in our smoke smelling room with the window open which was an issue since you're on the main road which is very loud at night. We were given a new room in the morning and were able to move in at 8:30 AM thankfully. Since our clothes smelled of cigarettes, we used the laundry services and despite being in the dryer for 2 hours, our clothes remained wet and we were forced to hang them around the room to air dry which was very difficult given the room size. More frustrating was a worker took our wet clothes out of the washer without asking so our laundry time extended another hour to wait for a machine to open up again. We received breakfast vouchers for the smoky room situation - I wouldn't recommend paying for the breakfast. Location was convenient, but loud at night. Bed and pillows were soft and comfy. Good size room.

Good location on connecting bus routes around the area: however, poor breakfast for vegetarians/pescatarians. Laundry facilities poor/limited. Two washer/driers for whole hotel and people queuing to use them! Superior double room a decent size. Receptionists very helpful.

I had the triple room with 3 beds. The room was large but the hotel is sandwiched between buildings with only 2 small frosted windows on one wall, so it felt dark without much natural light. This room was on a low floor, so I don’t know about higher rooms. The bathroom was extremely tiny with barely any space, with walls made of plastic. It reminded me of a portable bathroom. And it was 1 foot higher than the rest of the room, so you had to step up and down going in and out of it. Not ideal when you’re jet lagged and half asleep. And the shower curtain had a huge hand stain on it, which I don’t understand why they wouldn’t change the plastic curtain. As other reviewers mentioned, they don’t clean the room during a 3 night stay, so don’t expect any room service of any kind. There were stains and scuffs on the walls, microwave and floor. But the beds seemed clean. The 3 stars are mostly for the location, which is great, and the low cost of the rooms compared to other hotels in the area. It’s definitely a budget hotel, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

There are three main reasons 1) Poor check-in operations This took a long time to check in due to some staff members not being able to pinpoint the problem and asking other staff members questions. 2) Dirty facilities and odor issues. It may just be the floor or room I stayed on, but the carpets in the hallways are dirty. It looked like coffee or wine had been spilled on it. What I disliked the most was the room. The spices? It smelled like smoked stuff which was not a nice smell either, and I had to spray deodorant spray all over the room 4 times to get rid of it. I also ventilated the room, but that didn't get rid of the smell, and I had to put up with it because it was at a level where I could spend the night anyway. (3) Surroundings I think it is good for sightseeing, but it is not a comfortable environment because of the noise of some cars during the night. To their credit, the beds in the rooms themselves are spacious, and I would not have given this rating if they were not smelly and dirty.

You can tell that the hotel hasn't had a good cleaning in a while and my fridge and coffee supplies were dirty

L'hotel est idealement situé dans un quartier très animé et proche des commerces et autre animation. Le petit dejeuner fait le job mais sans plus. Chambre bien aménagée mais manque de rangements. Attention, le menage est a revoir en particulier sous les lits: un veritable nids a poussieres et autres dechets laissés par de precedents voyageurs. Le menage fait tous les 3 jours semble un peu superficiel. Dans l'ensemble le sejour s'est bien passé et le personnel très sympatique.

インバウンド向けホテルでした。部屋の設備は最低限ですが、便利な場所にありリーズナブルな旅には最適です。ナイトウェアの用意がない点は注意。一見綺麗なのですが、お風呂やシャワーカーテンのカビが気になりました。

房間因為環保考慮，四天清掃一次，尚可理解。

只有一點不滿意是酒店以環保為理由，不替停留少於四晚的房間打掃。不换床單可接受，但垃圾清理，補充㗎啡茶包也無人處理，一切都要住客去提出要求，去索取。這似乎有點過份！

1. Staff at breakfast need hygiene, and English language training. 2. The inside of the coffee machine at breakfast was extremely dirty - hadn't been cleaned in weeks, as was the outside area. Same breakfast menu - each day for my 9 days there. 3. Room maids (Nepalese) stunk of body odor. While changing my pillow cases, the male maid used his neck area to tuck in the pillow into the pillow case - his neck was full of sweat. 4. The female maid didn't clean the actual toilet seat - I saw the same stains which was there prior to my check-in into the room. 5. The bath tub had old soap scum on the outside of the bathtub which also was there when I checked-in. The female maid didn't bother to clean it. 6. There was a noticeable semen stain on the lower part of the wall near my side of the bed, as well as on the carpet. It has dried and was stuck to the wall. 7. At breakfast, I showed the female baking the bread a long strand of hair in the bread basket - she did take it out but found it too funny, and then put more bread in the same basket. 8. The vent in the shower wasn't strong enough to clear the steam. 9. The AC in the room didn't have English writing making it hard to use the AC. 10. Elevators were jam-packed during checkout times - no stairs to go down stairs.

They only clean the room on the 4th day. No room cleaning on the first 3 days.

Great reception staff and would be fine for one overnight but we were there for a few days and felt very claustrophobic in a room with no natural light.

Modern and very clean hotel. Good breakfast, 1300 yen per adults. 24h reception and acces cards. Beds and pillows could be softer. Tiny rooms. Noisy rooms, could have better sound suppression. Your hear every car and motorbike down the street.

枕頭有點小顆不是很好躺 其它都不錯

Great location, exceptional staff, good size room ( 10th floor but no view only a wall )

賑やかな街中にありますので、どこへ行くにも便利ですし、食事にも困りません。先斗町にも、新京極にも、寺町通にも近いです。 一つだけ難がありました。シングルルームに泊まりましたが、デスクがありませんでした。PCを膝の上で使ってOkな方には不自由ないと思いますが、私は、デスクに置いて使いたかったです。

Veldig sentralt! Ekstremt lite rom, ikke plass til to kofferter, måtte hoppe over hverandre for å komme til badet osv

フロントは全員外国人でしたが、対応が丁寧且つ親切でとても良かったです。部屋はデスクと椅子がないため連泊すると座る場所がなく、作業をしたりゆっくりできないのが残念です。

Was a great central location and friendly staff except would definitely not stay here again. The road noise from our room was so loud it sounded like the window was open. Barely got any sleep.

Excellent stay. Clean and convenient to transport, shops and food. Staff was helpful and nice. Would definitely stay again!

フロントの方も親切でとても良かったです。

Amazing Stay in the Heart of Kyoto! I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Kyoto, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and many of the city’s top attractions. It made exploring the city incredibly convenient. The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Everything from the lobby to the rooms was spotless and well-maintained. It’s clear that the staff takes great pride in keeping the place tidy and welcoming. Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality made a big difference. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

We arrived and were immediately greeted by kind and enthusiastic staff. We stayed a total of 5 days, which half way through had room service. They had an assortment of amenities including tooth brushes, hair brushes, ext, as well as air conditioning, heating, kettle, tv, and decent size beds and rooms. They had laundry services as well. We found the surrounding area extremely easy to get to by tram or bus with a travel time of around 20min for most distance places. The city was beautiful. They had a restaurant attached, but there were so many other traditional Japanese food places to choose from. It was a really great experience. Would highly recommend.

Basic room, but well priced, has everything you need, and great location! Staff were extremely helpful and kind. It was right next to a Round1 arcade, which was very fun at the end of the night!

部屋が綺麗です。まだ、新しいのでしょうか？ 明るい今風の部屋のインテリアでした。 ユニットバスは韓国製？なかなか良かったです。 シャンプー、トリートメント、ボディソープ、洗顔はポーラでした。髪の毛がサラサラになりました。 通常は期待しないので、驚きました。 チェックイン前、チェックイン後、どちらも手荷物を預かってくれます。 繁華街にも近いので、夜も楽しめます。 再び、泊まりたいです。

Great place in a safe location with super friendly staff

The front desk staff are kind and attentive. The room is clean and comfortable. The location is excellent: restaurants, bars, shops and bus/train stations are within a walking distance. Extra points for being right next to the arcade games (Round1).

Great location always friendly staff clean not a bad deal

Room was clean and comfortable. Location very convenient for buses and walking to the market which is close by. Plenty of shopping and food options close by.

Easy to find and right in the middle of a major shopping area in Sanjo making it easy to get around with multiple transport options available

酒店地利位置極佳，食飯購物非常方便，房間舒適簡潔，性價比高，下次來京都會考慮再入住。

In the heart of Kyoto's shopping district. Very near train and subway station. Walkable to most must visit places.

アクセス抜群で、スタッフさんの対応も丁寧で快適に過ごせました。ただし朝食会場は、人手不足なのか片付けが追いついてなくて残念でした、

This was a modern and clean hotel in a great location. There was a streetcar stop just across the street. Nishiki Market was nearby. I used the washing machine, which was very easy. No need to get detergent even. I would definitely stay here when I come back to Kyoto.

Una excelente opción si buscas hospedarte en una zona céntrica de Kioto. Al salir de encontrarás con tiendas departamentales y una amplia zona de comida y consumo en general, a demás de estar a calles del mercado principal, y del río. La atención estupenda y las habitaciones de muy buen tamaño para el estándar de Japón. El hotel se encuentra en perfectas condiciones y sin duda me volvería a quedar aquí

Convenient location!

Very convenient location

Great location always friendly staff clean not a bad deal

Great location room small but fine for travelling. Very helpful staff breakfast very limited as have a fish allergy

Staff are amazing, specially Fathi, he way amazing and outstanding customer service. Location is brilliant . Room really goood and spacious Breakfast is horrible and I don’t recommend eating there period… If it wasn’t for the breakfast and cleaning policies we would have rated this hotel 5/5..

hôtel très bien situé dans le centre. En revanche petit déjeuner très limite (peu de viennoiseries voir aucunes). Ruelle un peu bruyante (bruit de motos toutes les nuits.

Hotel and surrounding area was great! I wouldn’t pay for the hotel breakfast again

Helt ok, rent og greit hotellrom. Bodde her i tre netter, rommet var litt lytt og var et lite rom. Frokosten var ikke bra, kaffe og juice maskinen så ut til å aldri være vasket før. Vi spiste ikke frokost der resten av oppholdet.

Fabulous location. Excellent, compact & impeccably clean rooms. Buffet Breakfast was a little light on options but still suitable given the hotels proximity to an abundance of dining alternatives. Staff were professional and courteous. All in all, and excellent stay.

非常に便利な所にあり、施設として新しくて快適に過ごせました。朝食の焼き立てパンをはじめ、たくさん食べ過ぎてしまいました。

El buffet del desayuno es malo, todo lo demás excelente
