“Comfortable and good value for the price”

The size of the room is small, but has everything you need, inlcuding wireless internet connection in your room. It rained one day, and the front desk provided umbrella, which was very convenient. The location is good, and transportation is convenient.

“Yes -- helpful staff, and the hotel was standard for its type in Japan.”

Could be more sensitive to moldy odor in the bathroom and room in general. Carpeting and duvet on the bed should be fresher smelling, as should the bathroom shower curtain.

Area recommendations
The Shijo Street area in which this hotel is located is very central to transportation, and in the geographical center of the city of Kyoto. As such, the neighborhood has a lot to offer.

“Good Stay!”

Very appreciated with hotel service! The twin room is very spacious! The largest hotel room we've stayed in Japan. Buy the one day pass for the bus at the lobby, many bus stops nearby.

“Excellent hotel.”

No complaints about this hotel. Excellent staff, clean room, convenient location to shopping, food, and bus stops/subway/taxi svc. All around great experience, even though we only spoke minimal Japanese. We would highly reccomend this hotel.

Area recommendations
Anywhere, the whole city of Kyoto is beautiful and interesting. We didn't have much of a plan, but even just wandering around we found so much cool stuff. Did I mention that every person we met was extremely kind and helpful? We love Kyoto. If we ever get a chance to go back we will jump at it!!
Getting around
Busses and subway are cheap, especially if you get an all-day bus pass. But most people get around by bicycle. You can rent one all over the city. Next time I think that's what we'll do. Our feet were killing us by the time we left...ha ha.
Shopping
There's a huge open-air shopping mall a few blocks down Shijo Street. It's called Taramachi Station if I remember correctly.
Dining
Great little 24 hr. restaurant only a couple blocks down if you make a right after walking out of the hotel. Can't remember the name, but it was the only 24 hr. restaurant nearby that I saw. We ate there almost every day. There are 2 vending machines to the right as you walk in. You order your food there and take the ticket that the machine gives you to your table. Food was good, prices reasonable and you can't beat 24 hr. service. (Oh, and the french fries tasted just like home :)

“Clean and comfortable with great staff”

When I was booked this hotel, I was essentially looking for a place that was clean and affordable. This was my first time in Japan, and Kyoto was on my list of must-see cities, but we were traveling on a pretty tight budget. So I booked the Hotel Oaks Kyoto Shijo knowing that it wasn't going to be anything fancy, but just looking for a decent place to rest my head after a day of sight-seeing. The hotel itself definitely met these expectations, and I'd give it the highest ratings for that alone. But it's also worth mentioning that the helpfulness of the staff definitely exceeded my expectations. They all spoke English surprisingly well, which was really nice, especially since I must have asked the front desk staff directions to half a dozen different places, including some not-very-conventional tourist destinations. Every time they gave me very good directions, told me the best bus and subway lines to use, and left me with a fistful of maps of the city. Also, when we first checked into our room, we were surprised to find a very large (at least 1.5") wasp just chilling on the wall of our room. We were headed out for the day anyway, so we mentioned it to the staff on the way out. When we returned that evening, they told us that they had seen the beast, but they hadn't been able to kill it and they didn't know where it went, so they switched our rooms for us. Overall, I was pleased with how they dealt with this exceptional situation, and I would definitely stay here again!

“Three nights in Kyoto”

We really enjoyed the service and friendliness of the hotel. Although the accomodations are small by American standards, it was a good experience. We had everything we needed and found the front desk very friendly and helpful. We would recommend the hotel very hightly.

Area recommendations
This was a wonderful neighborhood with very convenient access to public transportation, especially the very user friendly bus system. It is just a five minute walk to the subway as well. We always felt quite safe there, as we did everywhere in Japan. Go the the Kyoto train station to get the day-long bus sightseeing pass. Take Bus 100 to all the major sights. It is also really worth spending a little time to get to know the public transportation system ahead of time.
Must see
If you get the Bus 100, you can see most of the major sights of Kyoto. Plan to spend at least two days in Kyoto---the temples, gardens, museums, and shrines are also great. There is also plenty of wonderful shopping, especially in the Gion district.

“Economical, clean. Uncomfortable mattress, far from train station.”

Pros: 1. Lowest rates I found for a single room (with private shower and bath) in Kyoto. 2. On the main street, which makes it easy to find. 3. Clean. Cons: 1. Far from the train station. 2. It's on the main street (Shijo Dori) but still requires a decent amount of walking to the shopping area. 3. Room is small. 4. Mattress was extremely uncomfortable. I could feel the springs, so when I slept on my side, there was a slight bruise where the springs were pressed against me.
