Overall Ratings & Reviews Shiki Shiki Higashiyama

Great spot to stay at for a few days!

Shiki Shiki Higashiyama is a convenient and enjoyable hostel with a nice little local shopping alley and subway station close by. Only major down side was the shared bathroom as the shower base is damaged and might end up hurting someone some day.

The good is the location. The bad is staying and n confined space. The bedding is very thin and not recommended for people with back or mobility issues. Charge extra for towels. Stayed at other japanese accommodation and much more comfortable. Was very difficult to get hold of staff as the unit was hot and air conditioning was not working. Seems overcharging for the accommodation offered. Not sure why expedia rated as wonderful.

We loved staying here for our one night trip in Kyoto. The room itself is clean and its Japanese style room. Shared bathrooms and showers. It doesn’t have elevator so I wouldn’t recommend to stay here if you have heavy luggages and staying for longer duration.

The add showed a private bathroom there was a private shower but a shared bathroom, we were able to leave our luggage inside before our check in, but we were not able to talk to anybody after that, only through the hotels app and it was difficult, the place is very neat, modern and nice, but a more communicative service would help the overall experience

Well located, nice place- more like an Airbnb type of accommodation. Bathroom in the room but toilets were in the corridor. However, very clean.

There was a bunk bed (tatami style) and a wonderful experience. There was also a train and bus station near by, a 3 min walk away from the hotel. There was a traditional shop selling fried potato and chicken just around the corner, an easy stop for a quick breakfast. Just at the junction, there was also a western food shop and fruit stall. I highly recommend this place to stay if you prefer a quieter environment. Our room is very clean but our room was required to share toilets. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we realised how it wasn't a problem at all. In fact, my girl found it very fun and interesting. Once again, highly recommended

Very nice clean room in the best part of Kyoto.

Room did the job of providing a clean bathroom and a roof. The futons were very thin on slabs of wood - NOT COMFORTABLE at all. The room was super expensive for what it was. We had 3 people in a room the size of a walk-in closet. No chairs, hardly any floorspace. There was never a person at the desk that you could talk to and ask questions. I even called the number they had at the desk and no one answered. We were instructed to leave our money for the room in the room when we left which made me very uncomfortable. I felt safer doing that since I booked through hotels.com.

Comfortable, very clean, quiet location but close to the hustle and bustle. Next to a subway and bus station, close to nature trails and easy to access Shrines.

Conveniently located near a subway station in a quiet back street, within walking distance of many attractions. The place is nearly new, with a pleasant interior featuring natural wood fittings. Typically in Japan, the rooms are compact, but we actually had more room to move here than in some more expensive hotels we stayed in. I would suggest providing a chair. Overall, we enjoyed our six nights here and would be happy to return.

The room was very dirty. The hotel charged extra for towels and there were no hand towels in the rooms.

壁が薄く、他客の音が気になりました。

よかったです！

宿は安く清潔でとても満足。ただ価格が安いのである程度仕方ないと思うが隣の部屋が夜中中うるさかった。22時以降他の客に迷惑なので静かに、という様な貼り紙があってもいいのではと思った。海外からの観光客に効果が有るかは疑問では有るが…

綺麗でよかったです。壁が薄いので自分たちの声が響いてないかきになりました。

駅からも歩いてすぐで近くにコンビニやバス停もあって便利だった。 部屋も綺麗でアメニティも揃っていて快適だった。部屋の鍵や玄関にもオートロックが着いていて安心だった。

地下鉄から近くとても便利でした。

テレビがなかったのが不便でした

壁とお部屋のドアが薄すぎて修学旅行のよう。オシャレで、最低限のものはそろってるのですが、落ち着けませんでした。
