Stay SAKURA Kyoto Shijo Karasuma

Very good hotel for family with small kids, the room amenities are great, kitchen, washing machine and bathroom dryer are in good condition, recommended!! The bus stop is only 5 steps from the entrance. They have tv in the bath tub, very cool

The location is very good, room size is small so its better to take family suite for 2+ guests. A kitchenette is available for basic cooking plus a washing machine. Just in front of a bus stop so it's very convenient. Metro is a good 10 min walk. Overall good stay, staff were accommodating and nice. Would suggest to provide room cleaning facilities atleast once in 2-3 days. We stayed for 5 nights but no cleaning was provided.

Check in at office is far from accommodation. Google map directs you to an alley around the back of office, which is actually on the main road. They manage many Sakura premises. If checking in at the Hotel, make sure you have the right address. Mini bus dropped us at accommodation, this service is drop-off only. Other guests were waiting in foyer on our arrival, but they were booked in to another Sakura premises. On-site staff are only there at very limited times. We booked a family room, which was a good size and included bathroom with bath and shower, bidet toilet, washing machine and drying rack, as well as kitchenette with hot plate, microwave, kettle and small fridge. No large plates and no bowls provided, only cups, glasses and very small plates. No toaster. Dark hairs on floor of bathroom, husband is bald and I have fair hair. Cleaning of rooms is not provided during your stay. Small closet and another hanging area. Only Japanese channels on TV with no subtitles. Slippers were provided as outside footwear not permitted in room. They provide an instruction leaflet for equipment. It would be helpful if they also provide translation for this leaflet. This Hotel is walking distance to shopping and transport, bus or train.
