We stayed at Yukon Kyoto Shijo and booked the Executive Triple (51 sqm) — it was perfect for three friends traveling together. The room was very spacious, with three separate beds and a separate comfortable living area. On arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find complimentary coffee, tea, cold drinks, and treats. There was plenty of room for luggage, making our stay even more comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the bathroom and shower were excellent. The hotel even decorated a bed for a birthday before our arrival, which was a wonderful, thoughtful touch provided free of charge. The hotel also features a lovely onsen downstairs, which was often quiet and a relaxing way to end our days. The staff were friendly, helpful, and very responsive both in person and via Hotels.ca before and during our stay. The location was ideal. It was walkable to Kyoto Station as well as to nearby shopping and dining areas. Despite being so central, the hotel was peaceful and quiet, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Overall, Yukon Kyoto Shijo is a great new hotel offering excellent service, spacious and clean rooms, and a perfect location. We would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

Nice, friendly staff gave recommendations for local restaurants. Room and hotel are pristine and very comfortable. Great sauna / public bath area (separate for men vs women) that’s open to 1am. Only minor detractions are small/basic gym equipment where the dumbbells are a bit light, and it’s about 10-15 walk to closest metros which isn’t too far, but also not particularly close either.

I stayed at Yugen Kyoto Shijo and it was honestly the best hotel of my entire trip! The hotel is new, super clean, and beautifully designed modern but with a lovely traditional Japanese touch. The location is very central and perfect for exploring Kyoto. The staff were always incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly during my stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, which is rare in Japan where most hotels have very small rooms. For the price I paid, it was amazing value! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Extremely clean, spacious room, friendly staff. Very accommodating to English speaking guests. The bath/sauna in the basement were excellent, one of the nicest saunas I’ve been in! It And the women’s locker room had Dyson dryers, which was a plus. We had a deluxe room with large bath that I can’t recommend enough, it felt like having a private onsen. Location is walkable to many eateries, shopping and about a ten minute walk to subway line.i booked the hotel before it opened, which felt like a bit of a gamble but one that very much so paid off! Would be happy to stay here again when in Kyoto l.

Beautiful and newly refurbished property. The rooms are big and it’s very welled located with Kawaramachi street approx. 10 min walk. The spa facilities are fantastic and the gym is well equipped. Unfortunately the service is not quite there yet. I had asked the hotel to contact me regarding a tea ceremony and I was informed that they had no way to contact an international phone number. In the end I was not concerned about the ceremony but more about how they would contact me if there was an emergency as I’ve never come across this issue before. I asked if they were equipped to contact me via WhatsApp and the response was ‘no’. Overall, nice place to stay.

The best hotel we started in on our trip to Japan. The atmosphere is contemporary yet local. Service was top of the line, fast, and consistently polite. We were given water while waiting on our Uber to leave. Also, the tv menu made ordering extra supplies to the room easy. Would be a first choice to come back without question.
