RESI STAY GIONDO KYOTO Higashiyama Sanjo

Really loved the location, it was SO great seriously close to everything like 10 minute walk from the station, and 15 minute walk from the Kamo river. Bike rentals were amazing too from this place and really cheap and well made and easy to use. Biked a lot around the neighborhood and along the Kamo river which was a dream come true. This place was also really quiet, had nice laundry machines too and comfortable beds. The rooms were actually really large for our group of 4.

Very clean and modern, and very spacious for Japan. Central check in was nice and quick and free shuttle bus to the Hotel was a very welcome bonus. Microwave in the room, nicely equipped kitchenette. Really good toilet/bidet! Location was insanely good, just a few minutes walk from bus, metro and Gion district and generally just a really pretty location.

The room was modern and clean. The price was slightly better than most hotels of the same quality. My wife really liked the modern bathroom. They do include a driver (not a taxi, but a professional driver dedicated to working for them) to get you from the reception office by the station to the property. Another thing we liked was that the whole building is theirs. I have been in AirBNB's in some places where 99% of the building tenants are permanent and one guy is breaking his lease agreement by renting out his apartment. You can feel the resentment from the other tenants. This is not the case. Here they own the whole building. All of the other people staying there are like you, on a vacation or business trip. They have a laundry room and bicycles for rent. We would have rented the bikes if it hadn't been rainy season.

They had everything that we needed. The location, comfortable bed, cleaness and the most importantly bike rental!!! We enjoyed the bicycle all around the city. It is so much easier to go around in the neighborhood. You just need to park in the designated place. That is the hard part. Walking distance to Gion and Nishiki market. We really enjoyed staying there. Highly recommend. Checking in in another location can be little confusing but they sent us very good description to find the place and they provide shuttle service so it is even better. The employees at the counter were very friendly with perfect English and the shuttle driver was so so friendly and tried to tell us popular places around using google translator. I was very thankful.

The apartment is well equipped and excellent option for traveling with friends. The place is located near Downtown, Nishiki Market, Heian Shrine and Gion...all of them at walkable distance. Staff is friendly and the check in process was simple. Many people complain about the process to collect the property keys, but the reception is just in front of Kyoto Station. Please read the instruction carefully, it's easy to access it.
