I like the vibe the hotel provide for international travelers to experience both East and west style. The in-room dining experience is excellent with the very well thought mini bar for providing us a beautiful landing experience.

With several restaurants in and around its neighborhood and a 7-11 directly across the street, Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto Shijo welcomes guests to one of the best areas in the city. Two blocks away, you will find a Boulangerie to die for within minutes from Nijo Castle. At Shijo-Omiya station, you can take the Randen tram to Arashiyama after a short, 10-minute walk from the hotel, Shijo Nishinotoin bus stop is one block away, and Karasuma station train station is close enough for you to walk with your carry-on and backpack without breaking a sweat for only a few minutes on a flat road as you make your way to catch the Limited Express train Osaka-Umeda on the Hanky-Kyoto Line, an affordable option that I highly recommend to any visitors travelling between the two cities for its comfort and value. Furthermore, the hotel provides access to a handy launderette behind the elevators (all you need is 100-yen coins as the washing machines automatically dispense detergent), in addition to free toiletries by the reception (take the bath salts to recover after a long day of temple hopping) and excellent coffee from a machine right by the elevators (the Americano coffee was particularly good), currency exchanger and umbrellas for any rainy day. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with both Japanese and Western options, and I will always remember the breakfast attendant, a lovely old lady who greeted us every morning and even handed me the tray sometimes. And if you enjoy starting your day with a big breakfast, do not hesitate to make a reservation with breakfast included. Every day, we also received free bottles of water and green tea bags in a paper bag with fresh towels even if we did not request room cleaning. The bed was so comfortable, I feel asleep immediately as I slipped into those sheets with a high thread count. Yet, I will remember this hotel first and foremost for its staff, incredibly diligent, considerate and helpful even after checking out.

Front staff are very polite and helpful, and fluent in English. As I just know limited Nihongo, so the use of English can help foreign guests a lot to enjoy their stay at Mimaru. The Pokemon theme room is really attractive to me as a Pokemon fans, in which fully decorated with lovely Pokemon. I love the Pokemon souvenirs prepared for me so much, which is not for sale and well designed. All the utensils for living are quite enough and you do not need to worry about it if you stay for a long period of time or you can bring nothing to stay in the hotel in case you do not have many special requests.

We love Mimaru for its family sized rooms. Ample beds and movement areas with a nice kitchenette. The hotel is safe as the main doors locks at night. We stayed in the deluxe japanese room which is 60m2, perfect for a family of 4 with grown up children

Staying at Seikoro Ryokan was an unforgettable experience. As Europeans, we were truly amazed by the historical atmosphere of this place, established in 1831. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure every detail contributed to the unique charm of the ryokan. The traditional Japanese breakfasts were absolutely delicious. A stay we will remember for a very long time.
