Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto-Shijokarasuma
What Guests Say
Walking distance to the bus station… there is a starbucks 2 mins away from the hotel. The convenient store 7/11 is just 30 seconds from the hotel. Walking distance of 15 minutes to Kyoto centre, pontocho alley… For those with heavy luggages, the lift of the station is between 7/11 and starbucks. So just be mindful, you don’t need to cross the street to the train station. There are little coffee shops and a very nice bakery in the alleys.

The location of the hotel is perfect as there are a number of convenience stores nearby and it is very close to the subway/train station. It is also located near the main street where you can walk down straight to Yasaka Shrine and all of the attractions and shopping in that area. For all the Pokemon fans/families with children who love Pokemon, the Kyoto Pokemon Center is right around the corner! The room itself was very spacious and was able to accommodate 2 people with large sized luggage. All amenities that are not provided in the room are available at the reception lobby. I didn't have any experience with the hotel breakfast, however; my dad did decide to pay for the breakfast 1-2 times during our stay and quite enjoyed the meal.

The hotel was in a great location, just a few minutes walk from Shijo Station and with a 7-Eleven nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was small but had everything we needed, and I liked how they provided clear instructions for everything. The bed and pillow were very comfortable and felt like good quality. And surprisingly the Internet was fast around 40mb up and down. The breakfast buffet was mostly Japanese food, but as someone who doesn’t eat meat, I could still find things like vegetables and fish. It’s close to Nishiki Market and the busy area, but far enough to stay quiet and comfortable.

Location was excellent. I needed to get to the international convention centre for a conference most days, so the proximity to the subway was perfect. It was also a great central location with excellent transport links to explore the town in the small amount of downtime available and get to things like dinners which were arranged in and around Gion. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The provided amenities were a nice surprise, even things like sunscreen and hair ties available!

Great location, a few minutes walk to convenient store, shops, restaurants, subway lines and buses. Room is spacious for one person with amenities I need to stay comfortably for 1 week. I like that they have hard and soft pillows to choose from. They have PJ sets you can grab. Vending and ice machines are helpful in the summertime. The whole place is clean and well maintained.

The location is great for getting around by foot or for travel with two stations with different lines very close. They had a good range of amenities (bath powder, face masks, hair conditioning treatments, etc., in addition to the usual stuff) and breakfast had different options each day which kept it interesting. The staff were really helpful in sending my luggage onto the airport for me. It was also really handy to be able to borrow an umbrella from the entrance.

The breakfast was fantastic, there was a good variety that changed daily. The room was spacious and very clean. The option to have fresh towels delivered daily was good. The pajamas and amenities provided at reception were very good and makes for less packing when travelling here. The location was also good, right next to a 24 hour convenience store and close to public transport.

The hotel was great. Location - superb, in the center of it all (at least for me was very convenient Room - Just like almost everywhere in Japan, room was small (I was solo, so that's why I had no issues with it)
