Washington R&B Hotel Kyoto Shijokawaramachi

It was really great, I'd definitely consider staying here again if I get the chance! **Facilities:** Perfect for a solo trip. All the facilities are just right for one person – there's a laundry room, pajamas, and toiletries, so you don't need to pack too much (though if you have a lot of clothes, they might not dry completely, so you'll need a small amount of extra drying time). **Location:** There are so many food options downstairs, it's a happy problem! There's a FamilyMart and 7-Eleven across the street. It's very close to Shijo, making it super convenient to get everywhere. There's even a direct train to Arashiyama. **Cleanliness:** The cleanliness was exceptional! If you don't need housekeeping, the staff will hang fresh towels and trash bags on your doorknob. All you have to do is tie up your used towels and trash and leave them outside your door. **Service:** The staff are incredibly nice, and you can even send/receive宅配便 (Takkyubin/parcel delivery service).

The location is fantastic, very convenient with great transport links in the heart of the city, making it easy to get anywhere. The room is small, but perfect for a solo traveler – clean, tidy, and comfortable. The service was also excellent and very welcoming.

For a city like Kyoto where every inch of land is precious, this hotel offers incredibly good value for money. The rooms are clean, the location is convenient, and the service is attentive. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto.

This hotel is a 5-minute walk from Shijo Kawaramachi Station. Kyoto isn't very big, and in this weather, you can walk to Kiyomizu-dera, the Gion area, stroll along the river, and even reach the **** area all on foot. On the first day, I took public transport everywhere, only to realize later how close everything actually was. The room is small but clean. It's right on a main road, so there's some motorcycle noise, but it didn't bother my sleep much. For consecutive stays, you can put a sticker on your door if you don't want housekeeping; just leave your trash and old towels outside, and fresh ones will be hung on your door. Breakfast includes four types of bread, onsen tamago (hot spring egg), coffee, yogurt, milk, and mashed potatoes for 40 yuan, which I found very satisfying. Consumables are available for self-service by the elevator. On check-in and check-out days, you can use your Suica card to lock your luggage, which is right in front of the front desk. There are many restaurants in the alley between the hotel and the Kamo River worth trying.

The hotel's location is excellent, really close to Shijo, which was super convenient for my shopping spree. The room had a window, so the air circulation was great, but the TV was unfortunately too small and outdated.

This hotel provided everything I needed for my trip. The location is excellent, with convenient transportation and shopping options. What I particularly loved was being close to the Kamo River, perfect for a morning or evening stroll – it felt wonderful. As for breakfast, it was nutritious enough.
