Perfect location in Gion, easy walking distance to convenient bus stops and subway stops, as well as many restaurants/shops. The Shirakawa river was so relaxing to watch. From our room, we could see cranes, turtles and large fish! Excellent decor with art and beautiful lighting, incredibly spacious (3 stories, all with full bath) with nice amenities (coffee/tea, pajamas/robe, umbrellas, laundry!, rooftop deck) and all rooms/floors had separate lockable entry code. I had only minor quibbles about the condition of the townhouse-style room (bedside power outlet not working on first floor, a pair of tattered pajamas). Main complaint was the communication - did not receive any direct communication from establishment until 27 hours prior to check-in, which made me nervous at the time, since my expectation was to receive the access code earlier. I also tried to text/email the night before checkout (to ask for a later checkout time of 11:00 AM), but they never got back to me. When I did call the next morning at 9:00 AM, I was able to talk with someone immediately, however. If you do not do well with stairs, do not book this place! For everyone else who doesn't need a front desk for easy help, this place is a solid value for an amazing location.

a beutiful 3 rooms/3 stories hotel

super location, sit right by the magical Shirakawa river. There is no services/reception counter at Shikinean hotel, everything is automatic, you receive the main door pass code before check in, also entry code for 3 different bedrooms. all went neat and easy. 3 rooms on each floor are of different design and display of arts. beds are comfy, we slept well every night. nearby the hotel are endless restaurant choices, subway station is less then 10 mins away and there is a small local shopping street if you walk along the Shirakawa to Higashiyama. everything is wonderful here. will certainly come back again.

first floor bedroom with the famous window looking down to Shirakawa river life

Heads up in Kyoto.

Nice place to stay, but beware. It’s not a hotel, or an inn, not even a B&B. There is NOBODY around. It’s 3 rooms stacked on one another beside a pleasant stream. The amenities, the bed, the bathroom are excellent. The top 2 floor rooms are only accessible by a steep stairs. Every taxi we hired in Kyoto could not find this place. It’s on a quiet street in Gion with a tightly packed, but pleasant neighborhood with many good restaurant choices. This is a good choice in Gion...but beware.

교토에서 느끼는 현대숙소

숙소에 들어 가기전 부터 과거에 접해보지 못한 새로움이 좋았고 다다미방도 신선하고 편했습니다. 교토구경후 숙소에 돌아올때도 집으로 가는 기분을 느끼게 되어 발걸음도 가벼웠습니다,

Gorgeous property. Gion is hands down my favorite area ive seen. Been in japan for 2 weeks. Only small issue with some dead bugs and small flies in restroom. Other than that, this place was amazing. Super high tech too. I loved it. Would do gion and stay here again.

非常適合行李輕便又喜歡美景的背包客

因為我們抵達時間遠早於check-in時間，本只是想打電話詢問能不能把行李寄放一樓，對方同意但因為這間並沒有櫃檯所以無法幫我們保證行李安全，我們也表示了解，但沒想到抵達時，打掃的小姐跟我們說她剛剛趕緊把房間打掃好了，就讓我們提前check-in了！這裡讓我們不得不佩服日本人的服務精神！地點雖然離電車或巴士一段路程，但周遭風景非常的棒，剛好滿滿的櫻花配上小橋與河水，隨便我們拍好拍滿。透過房間的窗戶也能直接觀賞櫻花！窗戶也設計得很有格調，讓人覺得這就是讓人觀賞窗外風景用的窗戶！另外桌上擺了一本厚厚的多語言介紹書。除了介紹各種京都經典觀光景點的交通方法外，還介紹了房內各種電器使用方法。非常的用心又便利。要說唯一的缺點是沒有電梯，如果攜帶笨重的行李會不太方便，但還好這棟最高也只有3樓。整體來說，非常滿意！空間大、風景美、服務好！

spent 5 days, great accommodations , HOWEVER, no mention of 3 floor walk up and i have very bad knees. it was terrible. i would have definitely requested the 1st floor room. also, didn't know where to deposit trash and after 5 days, 3 people it would have been nice to empty and never saw a person to ask. the room and location are great and i would recommend .
