Great Value”

I was very pleased with my stay. Court Hotel Kyoto Shijyou was a business hotel that is comparable to Japan's Toyoko Inn. The rooms are small, but they have everything you need in them--clean bathroom/shower/toilet, room internet connection, comfortable bed and TV. The hotel location was near bus stops and a major subway station. I would definitely stay here again.

Great value in a good location”

This was my first trip to Japan so I first stayed at another property that was economical but did not have its own attached bathroom. I did so on the recommendation of a friend who was also staying there. I found the Court Hotel on the Agoda site, and it was far superior to my previous place. Very functional room, good bed - futon off the floor, , attached bathroom, and very friendly and helpful staff. The location is a bit far from Kyoto station but is great for shopping and site seating.

good enough frugal business type hotel ”

Although location is good , but best location in Kyoto would be near the Kyoto station as such. This is 2 subway stations away . Hotel is walking distance from Shijo central station. Tourist buses do not have pick up at this hotel so one has to take city bus or subway to go to the nearest pick up point . My advice would be to take the JR pass since each bus ride (230 yen) and subway ride erodes some cost saving that one gets on booking this hotel. Room was big (expected smaller being in japan!). But bathroom is THE TINIEST i have ever seen ! Extreme cost saving is evident in the single ROTATING faucet for the sink as well as the bath tub ! there is a big step up into the "porta cabin " type bathroom making it difficult for elderly . shower height is too low for non japanese. Some small stains evident on bedcovers. Tiny , limited breakfast/ meals area( did not opt for it). Free toiletries. Free cofee/tea/sugar sachets at the reception. otherwise VERY CLEAN and very cooperative staff !

Great value hotel in excellent location”

This is an excellent "no-frills" hotel in the Shijo are of Kyoto--a perfect central location near buses, trains, and subways to get wherever you need to go for sightseeing. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the breakfast offers both Western and Japanese options. I'd definitely stay here again.

Awesome Place”

Staff was really kind and helpful especially when I need to find a money exchanger after 9pm - they assisted with ease and pointed me in the righr direction. Although I was lost the first time usinf Google Maps as it was point me at the street before it, luckily a nice cafe owner gave me directions to the hotel. I'm guessing the hotel needs to update their location point on Google Maps. Besides that hiccup, I had a great stay here at Court Kyoto. It was 7 minutes from stations I needed to access, it was a great area.

Great place overall”

Location is great. Heart of Kyoto. Bus stop less than a block away. Like 15 min by bus to Kyoto station. View from our Room was great. Could see Kyoto tower lit up at night. Room was of expected size. Clean 95%. The blanket had make up or something of the kind on it but the staff was extremely quick to bring a clean new one and made the bed again within moments of my call to front desk. The general manager even came personally to apologize. He seemed shocked that this happened on his watch. Breakfast was pretty good. 7 out of 10. Good but not amazing. Western/Japanese style breakfast buffet. Staff 10 out of 10. Understood English, very helpful with advice. Even sold bus passes right at the desk. Always someone was available to help at all times. To be honest I think this place was under rated by many travelers. For what I paid during cherry blossoms time in heart of Kyoto I feel this place is a great value for your money. I would stay again.

Budget Place”

You definitely get what you pay for. The rooms are a bit outdated and the bathroom was weirdly placed - you had to step about 1 1/2 ft up to enter the bathroom. Other than it being a bit outdated, the bed was comfortable and the room was perfect for my needs. The bus stop to the Kyoto train station is located right outside the hotel, just make sure you know what bus to catch. Cute cafes nearby and tasty restaurants. Nearby markets...everything you need is within walking distance and castles and museums are just a bus ride away. The staff was friendly. One interesting thing about this hotel is that everytime you leave the hotel, you have to turn in your keys to the front desk, because, like I said, it is an older/oudated hotel/building, they use regular keys instead of fob keys for the rooms. You get your room key back when you return to the hotel. A very inexpensive place to stay.

Good hotel”

We really liked this hotel: the staff were very friendly and helpful, plus it offered good value for money and was well located. We could catch buses quickly and conveniently from just around the corner, there was a metro station within four minutes walk and it's not too far from the train station (10 mins on the bus more or less)/ Rooms were good with everything we needed (we had two adjoining twin rooms shared between two adults and two teenagers). Nice breakfast and very relaxed: the dining area was never crowded and we could take our time. They sell one-day tourist bus passes at reception, which was very handy. Really appreciated the washing and drying machines in the foyer. Decent restaurants in the neighbourhood and it's super-easy to reach all the main destinations/sights in Kyoto. Spent a very happy few days in this hotel.

10/10 recommended stay in Kyoto ! ”

Staff was extremely helpful, and always on their smile. Location was convenient, able to get to various tourist spot in every minute. Cleanliness definitely deserves a 100 star, everything is so clean ! This stay is definitely recommended if you're staying in Kyoto and wanting a 5 star hotel service with a 3 star hotel price ! Thumbs up, keep it up

Accessibility is superb ”

It is a superb location if you plan to tour most of the Kyoto sightseeing spots. To the east, west, north, south are all pretty much within 25-30 minutes. That is all by city bus and electric-trains. Because all comes to center of Si-Jo Road. Convenient stores, mini market, mid-price range restaurants are surrounded. By the time your day end and you are so tired, hop up and off the city bus, pretty much you are back to the hotel to rest you feet. I'm very happy with this hotel all due to its location convenient! Couldn't be more happy.

Affordable Stay in Kyoto”

The court hotel Kyoto located in Karasuma, a little bit far from centre of crowd. It can be reached by bus from JR Kyoto station or Karasuma station. There are nearby convinience store. Building a little bit old but okay. You need to return the key everytime you went out.

good visit”

went to kyoto for new years 2019. it was very crowded and hard to find a hotel, but court hotel was available and the rooms were nice enough, if really small! the location is fairly good, located between two subway stations. i would recommend this hotel.

Quite convenient with bicycle rental available”

Locating this hotel took a bit of challenge since it is situated at the side of the main Shijo road. You will first be greeted by the Family Mart which is just opposite the hotel before you can actually find the inconspicuous hotel entrance. The hotel which is 5 min away from Karasuma & Shijo subway stations is a bit old and the room runs on a central aircon whose temperature can't be adjusted apart from Hi,Lo,Off switch by the bed console. Since this hotel is centrally located, you are able to find a bus-stop just around the building on the main Shijo road that brings you to Kikaku-ji which is one of the must visit attractions in Kyoto apart from the nearby Nishi market and shopping belt around there. Check-in and out is also hassle free.

Comfy!”

You can reach the hotel from Kyoto station by bus#50. The bus stop is right in front of the entrance of the hotel. The room seems newly renovated. We love the beds, so comfy. The staffs are so nice. They make calls and communicate in Japanese for us. So impressed.

Great location, clean and comfortable ”

near Shijo station exit 25/26 , very convenient as surrounding with convenient shop like family mart, 7-eleven , drug store, restaurants and café. nearby bus stop can go for many attraction place. Friendly staff and good room cleaning service

Convenient and value for money”

We stayed in Court Hotel for 4 nights and we had a comfortable stay. Although the carpet and bed are a bit old, they compensated with complimentary tea bags and snacks from Tsujiri, which we really liked. The staff and service were always prompt and polite. They would leave a bag of new supplies outside your door, when you didn't want house keeping on that day. You can easily catch the bus on the main road, or walk about 5-10 minutes to the nearest train station. The hotel is also close to cafes and restaurants.

Loved it”

The room was spacious enough for two people. Everything was clean and the place is very near kawaramachi area. It’s also peaceful despite proximity to city center. Busses and subway are accessible.

Good Value for Money; Hotel needs to improve on the cleaniness of drainage system”

- We stayed for 2nights at Court Hotel in Nov; the price is comparatively reasonable during the peak season of watching red leaves - Breakfast is fairly good. - There is odour coming out from the drainage. Hotel may need to clear this up. - Location of the hotel is good: near JR station, within walking distance to shopping area on Shijo Dori and Nishiki market, a few car parks nearby - Staff can communicate in English; helpful to assist us on booking restaurants

A bit outdated but enjoyable stay”

We found the hotel to be outdated, but clean. The staff were nice. Location is great as it was close to the hustle and bustle but the neighbourhood itself was very quiet. The bus stop close-by will take you to all the sights in Kyoto. The room was bigger than expected.

good room, good restaurant, close to buses and subway”

We enjoyed this hotel very much, very friendly, helpful staff, a laundry room, good breakfast (and lunch too). It was a big part of a great trip to Kyoto, a beautiful city, lots to see and do.
