Stayed at WAYFARER Kyoto Shijo for total of 4 nights. Check in quick and easy, with use of the Kabin app. The young lady (can't remember her name but she was South Korean born from USA) that served us on check in was brilliant. Very friendly and gave ideas for local places to eat. Room was large. 4 adults and 16month old were able to sleep comfortably in there. Full cleaning only occurred after 4 nights, but we were able to have rubbish bins emptied daily and also get fresh towels daily. Bus stop directly out the front and only short walk to Shijo train station. Local park/playground just up the road which was great for the 16 month old, and there was also a 24hr coin laundromat about 3 minute walk from the accommodation. Overall highly rate this place and would stay again if ever in Kyoto.

we got the tatami style for our room. It was a nice experience. Need to adjust ourself though, since we are 55 and 60 so getting up after sitting on the floor is not as quick as getting of from a chair. But we like it. Room is spacious, bath room is good, and I like they have like an entrance part in the room where you can take off your shoes , so dirt not going into the main room. And we love the balcony that alowed fresh air into the room (it was in may, so weather was nice). love the very big cupboard too. All the staff at front desk speak good english, definetly a plus. Check inn process might be rather confusing if you are not used to modern tehnology (like us who are above 55), but as long as there is staff at front desk, they will be more then happy to assist you.

Hotel has a front desk so getting help is easy. There's an APP called Kabin that can speed up the check-in process so your room number and access code at your door is provided even before you arrive. The hotel is well located so it's approximately 5 minutes to bus stops, 10 minutes to subway, and plenty of places to eat nearby. Generally speaking hotels in Japan are small, room size of this hotel is above average. I actually liked that all three beds are single beds with separate linens (we are travelling with a daughter so we booked a family room), since the bed for 2 are usually tiny in Japan, at least with 3 single beds we can all have a good sleep at night.

Great location close to both bus stops and train stations to get you anywhere you need to go in Kyoto; in walking distance to Nishiki Market, the Pokemon Center, and other bustling shopping streets. Located on a more quiet residential street so it's less busy and noisy, which we appreciated. Loved having a microwave and a coin laundry-dryer combo machine in the lobby so we could do our laundry and save luggage space for souvenirs. Staff was helpful and kind, calling a taxi for us, and making phone calls about sending our luggage ahead to our next destination and giving us detailed instructions on where/how to do so.

The location was better than i thought. Easy access to major tourist spots and just 15 mins or less walk to Nishiki market. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cleaning staff come in daily to empty the bin and if towels need changing. We were in the Tatami room and the kids enjoyed the experience. Just get ¥100 coins ready to use the laundromat by reception. The Yamato luggage forwarders were just a building apart from the hotel. It was very convenient to send over our large luggages to Narita airport 2 days before we left Kyoto.
