My favorite hotel during our stay. We’ve had expensive in Shibuya, amazing themed at Tokyo Toy Story resort, and we’ve had this…this felt like home. Absolutely perfect. Everyone is so nice, the rooms are small and it was one of the older hotels we stayed in, but it was the most comfortable. The beds were the best out of all the hotels. The location is perfect. Easy to walk to stores and places to eat. Like 5 minute walk to most places. The bathroom is amazing. The tub is the biggest out of all locations and we love the Japanese style bathroom with the “wet room” type shower bath. The only con, I think the bathroom where the toilet is smells like urine. My other half didn’t think that was the smell, but it definitely wasn’t pleasant whatever it was. Despite that, perfection. I’d stay here again, over and over and over. Absolutely my favorite and you can’t beat the price. Also if you stay here, you have to try the candy apple place on the corner and Ichiran around the corner. Both a daily favorite for us and the kids.

We had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu on the Musse Floor in a premium connecting room, which was perfect for our family of four during our three-night stay in Kyoto. The staff was incredibly courteous, and our room was spotless, well-organized, and exceeded expectations—especially with the luxurious ReFa shower head and bathing area. We loved the hotel-provided pajamas so much we ended up purchasing a pair! The location was ideal, right in the heart of Kyoto with easy access to restaurants and attractions, many of which we walked to. Despite being on the top floor with an angled view of the main street (looking down at Don Quijote Shijo Kawaramachi), we didn’t experience any noise issues mentioned in other reviews. The beds were very comfortable, with thoughtful touches like a small shelf and charging station next to each bed. The Musse Lounge on the 2nd floor offered the most diverse breakfast spread of all four hotels we stayed at in Japan—and even had enough options for one of our family member’s vegan needs with ease. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for families looking for comfort, convenience, and hospitality in Kyoto.

While we chose the hotel based on its central location - with Nishiki market and the Gion district within walking distance - the hotel, staff and amenities completely exceeded expectations. Everything was wonderful, including the excellent buffet breakfast with both Japanese and European options. The room was larger than expected with a small but efficient modular bathroom that included a bathtub and shower. The room also had a kettle and excellent green tea. Coffee was available in the foyer.

The bed was big and comfortable with many pillows! The front desk staff are very nice and helpful. The breakfast had many options and was delicious. They give you two bottles of water every day. And the location was perfect for me, very convenient to many popular destinations. This will probably be my first choice in Kyoto from now on.
