Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

Smack right in the middle of the busy streets of Kyoto. There are shops and food stalls everywhere within walking distance. The train lines too. Staff are friendly and greeted us well when we came in. The place looks nice and has a little Japanese vibe. The rooms were a little small though, so don’t expect too much

Centrally Located with a Few Drawbacks Travel Lodge is located on a shopping street with plenty of places to eat nearby. It’s also within walking distance of Gion, making it a great base for exploring. The location offers easy access to both bus and metro lines, making transportation convenient, and it’s not a far walk to reach either option. They also provide luggage storage, which is helpful. However, be aware that rooms are only cleaned every 4th day, so if you’re staying fewer than four nights (like we did), you won’t have a clean room and you’ll need to grab supplies and exchange towels at the main desk. The hotel breakfast, served at a neighboring restaurant, was a bit of a letdown. It mainly consisted of bread and some oily sides, though the coffee and drink options were good. The room itself was typical for a Japanese hotel—compact, but clean, with a hot shower. Despite the small size, after a long day of walking, you’ll sleep fine! Just keep in mind that check-in is at 3 PM, and check-out is at 10 AM, so plan accordingly!

Location of hotel is good however it can get noisy at night due to the heavy traffic in front of the hotel. Not suitable for light sleepers. Overall hotel is clean.

It was clean and comfortable. What I liked the most was the location of the hotel. Thank you 🙂

Very comfortable hotel. It is located at the shopping street in Kyoto and easy access to most of the travel spots.

Heart of shopping street and near to everywhere. Will stay at this hotel again !
