Seed in Kyoto Nijo

Great place to stay, although not right next to the center of tourism area for Kyoto. The hotel is on a traditional grocery street that feels homey and local and hasn’t turned touristy yet. There’s also traditional parades during Gion Matsuri time. Also it’s next to some bus stops and a train stop. Nijo castle is also close by. There are some hidden gem coffee shops around too

One of the most convenient hotels in all of Kyoto. The staff are very friendly, and always willing to help.

Nice place for an extended stay. Comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Nothing luxurious but that's not their aim.

This is a Residence Inn. Rooms were clean and the view from the 9th floor was great. Our room looked out over the south end of Nijo Castle. The Staff was great, when we checked in early, we were told the rooms were already available even though early (9 am) check-in should have taken place at 3 pm. We placed our bags and went exploring. When we asked about a certain location the desk clerk printed 3 pages of the website for our reservation. The only down falls are there is only 1 room key per room, and if you loose it, it costs 5000 yen ($50. US). You have to take your own trash out and clean (to include vaccum) the room before leaving.

The administrator does not speak Chinese, but he is very polite You can take the tableware you need and cook for yourself. The hotel is inside the shopping street, and there is also a 100-yuan store in the shopping street.
