This is a very nice hotel with friendly staff. Our room was clean, comfortable and quite spacious. Good Location. One negative point: wi-fi only accessible in the lobby. internet in the room only possible via LAN cable. Breakfast can be added later.

The room was very small and did not contain any cupboard or wardrobe space, there was a small hook with 3 hangers on it which was not ideal considering I was there for a week. The room also had a very strong smell of smoke event though it was classed as non smoking. The bed was comfortable and it was... More

This hotel was good value for money in the city (compared to the other options available in the peak season of May). Nothing really to fault: everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff were helpful. The room was not very big, but was sufficient in all respects. The location was not bad: 10 minutes walking from a train/metro station, and... More

Had a great stay here, rooms generously sized, ensuite, modern with slight business styling, beds comfortable. Right in the middle of Kyoto - well connected with the bus services. Recommended. Note that reception is one floor up from ground level. Coffee and thick sweet green tea machine near reception worth finding! Good friendly staff. Enthusiastic backpackers can walk from train...

This hotel is hands down the much more superior of the 2 hotels that we stayed, 2 nights each, in Kyoto. It is nicely situated on the relatively quiet side of Shijo-dori, with just about 10 minutes walk from Shijo-Kerasuma, that means turning left as you come out of the Shijo (Metro) Station via exit 2. The Fresco Store and... More

On the face of it, MyStays Kyoto looks good. The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet -- if small, in typical Japanese style. But I was irked by lack of wifi in the rooms. I had to venture to the lobby where the speed was dismal. Also, lack of coffee-making facilities in the room was incredibly annoying. I learned, upon... More

For how cheap this hotel sells its rooms and its close location to the heart of Kyoto I would definitely stay here again.

Mystays was just perfect for our needs when we stayed in Kyoto. If you arrive via train from Shijo Station simply leave via exit 2, turn left and walk down Shijo-Dori for 10 minutes or so. It is on the opposite side of the road to the station, you can't miss it! Rooms were small but comfortable, bathroom had everything... More

We stayed in Kyoto while on honeymoon. We had previously stayed at another Mystays in Tokyo (Asakusabashi), and after that great experience, we knew that we'd have to stay in another when visiting Kyoto. I want to say that this is a great hotel considering the low price, but it is actually a great hotel either way. It's incredibly clean,... More
