This was a nicely sized space for 1-2 people traveling and exploring Kyoto. The staff were all really nice. The room was very clean, and I especially liked the heated toilet, the bathtub, and the free coffee!! The walk to Nijo Station was only 5 minutes and from there, you can take the express train to Kyoto Station. Generally, the location is very central to the hot spot touristy areas like Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (east), Fushimi Inari Taisha (SW), and Gion District is simply by Kyoto Station. All in all, we had a lovely stay.

I have had the pleasure of staying at several Stay Sakura locations and have consistently enjoyed my experiences. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms, while small, are comfortable. I particularly appreciate the separate bathroom and shower, as well as the kitchenette. The locations are also very convenient, with close proximity to train stations, bus stops, and local shopping streets like Sanjo, which offer a great opportunity to explore the local shops.

Great modern design, very clean. Room very functional and the bathroom is quite generous. Laundry facilities are available, and the staff was very friendly at all times.

The Suzuka Oji of the Stay Sakura Brand is a rather new (or at least that’s how it feels) hotel. The beds were really comfy and the room was nicely designed. There‘s a kitchenette in the room. We didn’t use it for cooking, I think it is too small for that. Reheating meals in the microwave is probably the only thing you can do without messing up the whole room. That being said the kitchenette uses up a lot of the little space, though. Also, we would have loved having a table and some chairs, otherwise you end up sitting on the bed while eating … or you move to the table in the lobby. We made do with the room, all in all it’s a bit narrow - there‘s not a lot of room for suitcases either. But we enjoyed the calm and nice area, the modern amenities, the good connection to public transportation and the helpful service of the staff.

The location is good, just 10 min away from the train station. Stuff is friendly, especially the Indian man who helped us with the transfer of the luggage to Tokyo. It was really helpful he spoke English and mostly important, he was keep to help. It is of great help to tourist to know they can use laundry services within the premises, ¥300 is for wash and ¥100 for tumble dry, which is very reasonable. Regarding the facilities, unless you single person in the room, space is insanely tight. Two people can not pass each other in the tiny corridor, the bed occupies the entire room, and there is absolutely NO space for your suitcase - which made us think this was more of a Backpacker space. You may place your suitcase on top of the bar counter designated for tea/coffee, but than you have no space to make tea or coffee or anything else. It is very dissappointing that windows could not be open too for fresh air. We stayed in room 204.

Apart from having to keep your window shut at night because of noise in the street (perhaps I could ask for a room at the back next time), I found the hotel itself very calm and restful which is what you want after sightseeing in a busy city. I think the most outstanding factor was the personnel. Khairul was extremely helpful in my travel needs and local information. His command of English is excellent and he’s such a nice man. Your amenities on offer were excellent i.e. coffee, washing machine-dryer. I also found the kitchenette useful as I was often too tired to go out for dinner. I will be back again.

Sakura Kyoto is a fantastic little hotel in an excellent location as it is only a 5 minute walk to the train station and on the bus route which will take you directly to the best restaurant and bar areas in Kyoto. There is a seven11 15 meters from the hotel, a pharmacy across the road and a shopping arcade which has some fantastic dining. The hotel is tucked away down a side street so is very quite and private. It has a complimentary laundry room and in the foyer you will find many useful guide books to help you plan your days. This hotel is excellent value for money and very nicely styled. I would most definitely stay here again.

Great value. Great location for walking or bus and v close to Nijo (train station/castle). Super comfy bed and perfect private bathroom. Staff very friendly and helpful. On the downside the dryer for clothes isn’t great for a full wash. There is pretty much no room for storage in the room. You’ll be climbing over your bags if you have any. Some cooking facilities in the room but either stand up to eat there or take it to the space in the reception area. Also we had two side plates for crockery!

Although quite compact, the room+kitchen were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with induction stove, microwave and kettle. We stayed for 6 nights and the whole staff was polite and very helpful. The common area had a dining table and coffee/tea machine that we used for our meals. Very nice coffee! The bus stop and Nijo JR station both are a short walk and have direct connections to many of the sights. 7/11 and supermarkets are also just around the corner. Would definitely recommend this place!
