Awesome and Excellent Hotel!”
I enjoyed the clean, peace and quiet I needed, offered in all the facilities of your hotel, every staff including housekeeping greeted us all with a friendly smile. We have already decided to return to Hotel M's Est Shijo Karasuma for our next vacation, which will be next year. And I will definitely recommend your hotel to my friends and family. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Leng From Singapore
Thank you very much for staying in our hotel.We greatly appreciate that you posted a review. As many guests said,our location is convenient for going around in Kyoto city. You can access major sightseeing spots, shopping area and main station directly. There are so many shops and restaurants around our hotel. The bed introduces world-famous "Simmons Corporation" and original brand "MARO" which I developed jointly into all rooms. It heals the body which is tired from sightseeing and work. Our hotel adopted the bed, the towel, the amenity to touch the skin of the visitor directly with feelings to be available in peace. It is refreshing, and shampoo, a conditioner, the body soap prepare for "the DHC olive gold series" characterized by the fragrance that can be relaxed. It resets a one-day end clearly. We will try to improve our skills and hospitality with best effort. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Hiroki Onishi Front desk
Nice hotel in a great location”
This was a great choice for my stay in Kyoto. Close to the Kyoto station but not right at the station. The hotel is two stops north on the Karasuma line near Shijo station. Proximity to Kyoto station made the hotel easy to use as a base. The hotel is located just a few steps off of Shijo street and nearby is the Nishiki Market district. There are a lot of shops and eating options in the area. The hotel and the hotel rooms are clean. The rooms are on the small side by North American standards but they have an efficient lay out. The bed was comfortable. I was extremely satisfied with the service and staff. I will try to stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto.
Dear Mr. MICHAEL Thank you for your good evaluation. Our hotel located Kyoto Karasuma. There are also many restaurants and shopping malls, and access to sightseeing spots is also very good. We look forward to meet you again. Sincerely, Hotel M's EST Shijo Karasuma front desk
perfect hotel”
This hotel is perfect in every way! location is the best, just round the corner from shijo station exit 19 (stay on same side of the road & walk away from the cross junction), walk past Tokyu Hands & turn in at the Yoshinoya corner. Dont bother staying at Kawaramachi where you still need to transfer subway line, Shijo station is just 2 stop away from Kyoto station. Daimaru is just opposite & there are plenty of restaurtants in the street behind Daimaru (Ippudo ramen, pancakes, sushi, tonkatsu etc). Nishiki market is 10min walk & it link you to Teramachi shopping street. walk further down & you will reach Takashimaya. Room size is decent, compact but everything is available like a foldable writing table, fridge with 2 bottles of water complimentary, small bathtub. bed is comfy & reception allow early check-in for me. I will definitely stay here again!
Thank you very much for staying at Hotel M’s Est Shijo Karasuma this time. It seems that we were able to relax during our stay and we are glad. Also thank you again for your continued praise. Our hotel is right next to downtown area, so it is perfect for sightseeing and shopping. There are many restaurants in the surrounding area. However, we will continue to improve service further in the future without being concerned with the favorable location. We look forward to your continued patronage of Hotel M‘s. Sincerely
New and nice hotel”
Hotel M's Est didn't even appear on Google Maps when we searched for it. I guess cause it is a pretty new hotel. My family enjoyed our stay here cause Hotel M's Est is pretty much next to the main street. There are a lots of food outlets nearby and the staff are pretty friendly too. They even have a robot in the lobby! But it only speaks Japanese, so i couldn't really play around with it.

Small hotel with superb location in Kyoto”
I'd recommend the hotel for everyone want to visit Kyoto since the location is super!! Its near JR Shijo station , Gion & Shijo subway stations, Nishiji market, River where people view sakura blossom, Geisha show, malls, restaurants, convenience stores & temples. Room fits 2 adults & small children. Toilet is superb, clean & nice amenities. The price is reasonable as well. We'd love to book this hotel again when visit Kyoto next time.
Dear Mr. or Ms. Benjamin Thank you very much for staying with us. We greatly appreciate to post a review. Our location is convenient for going around in Kyoto city.

Exceptional”
M's was close to Shijo subway station (exit 5 was convenient), a half block from the well lit main shopping street, and offered lots of eating options. It is on a small one way street just south of the lit up shopping street. Also, Kyoto Ramen Kairikiya was a 4 min walk away, modest in cost, cute, and delicious! We went twice!
Dear Mr./Ms. Renee Thank you for your staying our hotel. Also,thank you for your compliments. Our hotel is located at Shijo Karasuma. It is near many famous and convenient spots. Example, Nishiki market, Subway, Hankyu railway and there are many bus stops. You can go to spots very easy. If you can not understand how to go there, we will support for you. Please feel free to front desk. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Sincerely, Hotel M's EST Shijo Karasuma front desk
Great little hotel close to transport and Nishiki Market”
Stayed for two nights in November in economy double non-smoking room. Very nice little “no-fuzz hotel” with modern room. Contains everything I wanted in a room, clean, efficient, fresh, modern and comfortable. The room is small, but not the smallest I’ve been to in Japan. Don’t expect to keep a big suitcase open in your room. We had a small carry-on sized bag which we could step over when we needed to. The room is very practical for its size, layout is also good. Bathroom has nice shampoo, conditioner etc. The location is very good. More or less sitting on top of the Shijo station which takes you to Kyoto station in two stops, also walking distance to shopping in central Kyoto, Gion and Nishiki Market. Nice breakfast place literally in the neighboring building, called Eggs’n’things if you haven’t booked with breakfast.

Enjoy the stay”
Really had a great stay. The location is strategic, lots of stores nearby because it is situated at a shopping district. The hotel is reachable by Shijo station (Karasuma line), just walk around 2 minutes from the station. However, if you want to do some work in the room, there is a very small space to do so and not very comfortable.
Thank you very much for staying at our hotel this time. First of all I received praise and I am very pleased. There are lots of shops and transportation facilities around the hotel, which is a convenient place. We would also highly recommend the point that it is easy to go to sightseeing spots. But you are sorry that I am not satisfied with the functionality of the room. It is necessary to consider the usability of the desk and the performance. Thank you for your precious opinion. Best regards,
Easy access and great location”
The facilities, cleanliness and location of this place is the best. It is very easy access to a lot of attraction. Nishiki Market is just 200 metres away and it is located in the central location where it is connected to department store and you can take bus or travel by foot for various attractions in Kyoto. It is also easily access from Osaka!! I travelled from Osaka via Hankyu line train (only costs 400 ¥!!) from Umeda and get off at Karasuma station. Take exit 19 and turn right and in 100 metres you will see a Yoshinoya shop, this hotel is right next to Yoshinoya. Overall I have a great stay at this hotel.
Thank you for your stay.
Location of Hotel”
Very convenient location just a short walk away from Subway Shijo station. There is also a bus stop just a minute walk from the hotel with many buses plying around Kyoto. There are many department stalls like Tokyu Hands, Daimaru, Takashimaya and lots of other shops and eateries in the vicinity. The hotel room is clean and the pillow is soft. The receptionists were helpful and polite. The hotel does not have any restaurant which is fine with me. I really enjoyed my stay there and would recommend anyone who wants a stay in Kyoto, this is the perfect hotel.

Good location which is so close to Karasuma station and Shijo station as well as walking to Gion and Pontocho just 10-15 mins. The hotel is very clean, the room is great (not too small, having space for big baggage).

Excellent location”
The hotel location is the best! It's very near the Karasuma station and Shijo station. The space is small but has all the necessities. We stayed for 4 nights. The hotel does not have a restaurant but that did not bother us.
Thank you for staying with us this time. And thank you for honoring the location of the hotel and the ingenuity of the room. It is regrettable that there is no breakfast, but there are places to eat a lot in the surrounding area. We hope that you will visit again. Best regards,
Clean, location, value for money”
Normal standard of hotel room size. Abt 5mins walk from Karasuma/Shijo station. The room is clean. Reception is friendly and helpful, can speak in mandarin and also English. They do allow to store luggage before check in time. It’s value for money.
Thank you for staying at our hotel this time. And I am very happy to receive a lot of evaluation. In the future the cleanliness of the room and the service ability of the staff will be further improved. All the staff will make an effort. I hope that you will come back again. Best regards,
Excellent location, very near train station exit 19”
Location was excellent, hotel is very near Hankyu Karasuma train station exit #19, approximately 95 metres (either by staircase, or the escalator near Mizuho if you have luggages to carry). Situated along the main stretch of shopping centres, very near Nishiki Market, and has a good ramen shop just outside the hotel (serves excellent tsukemen)! Hotel has laundry machines (pay 200 yen for a 5kg load washer and/or 100 yen for 30 mins in the dryer), ice dispensing machine, and a smoker's room. Really love the hotel room! It uses space saving concept (the foldable table and chair) but not much space to hang your clothes (can hang about 3 pieces at max). Bathroom has a slight smell coming from probably the piping in bathtub but tolerable. Overall really love the room design concept, location and friendly staff at reception. Excellent hotel, value for money.
Thank you very much for staying with us. And also thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear about your satisfied comments. As in your comments, Our location is very good because there is subway and a lot of bus stops. It is very convenience to go samewhere. Because our hotel is Accommodation specialized type, it devised the type of amenities and room design, but there is no restaurant. We want you to enjoy Nearby restaurant and shops in Kyoto. We hope you have had spent a wonderful time in Kyoto. If you have an opportunity to come to Kyoto next time, we are happy if you use our hotel again. We are looking forward to seeing you again.

Great location”
Hotel was next to the Karasuma/Shijō stations, which was really convenient. It was also a few steps from the main shopping street with a Yoshinoya just downstairs and a few 7-11s nearby, which was great for our late night supper fix. The room itself was comfortable and clean. For our travel dates, the price was better than most other hotels in the vicinity.

This is one of the best located hotels in Kyoto along Karasuma. It has all the necessary amenities in a 200 meter radius. The only thing it doesn't have is a restaurant for breakfast but you are less than 20 meters away from a restaurant which is 24 hours.

I booked double economy for 1 person in early may. I can say only the best about this hotel. There was a very very good price per room. A small but very cozy room, which has everything you need, including a safe. In addition, this is a brand new hotel. He opened it doors at the end of march this year. 15 meters from Shijo street (Main Street). Thanks to the management. Arigato
