Washington R&B Hotel Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi

R&B Kyoto was situated right next to a popular street for restaurants and bars. Excellent choice if you enjoy nightlife. One nice thing the staff did was keep and refrigerate a milk I had just purchased before checkin and had forgotten on the checkin desk. They kept it for me and made sure to give it to me on my return. I was pleasantly surprised, and this kindness was appreciated. They also offer complimentary pajamas, which was a nice detail.

Location is good, very easy to find and close to attractions and stations. Room was spacious enough for a solo traveler, comfortable too. It goes with a bathtub! Although I didn’t get the chance to enjoy it, cos I was pretty knackered every day when I got back😮‍💨 Definitely should try it next time. Staff are multilingual and are all very nice. They were also able to let me leave my luggage there for several hours after I checked out. Great help!

Very good hotel, not expensive but in an excellent location. Close to the river and next to the small streets with hundreds of small restaurants and pubs. Subway Hankyu line is only a few minutes walk along the river, and from there you go all around Kyoto, or even straight to Osaka centre for 400 Yen. Gion is right at that same subway station. The room is quiet at night, the rooms are really soundproof. Brekfast is simple with some croissants and jam, buns, soups, granola, salads and coffee. Simple but not expensive. There is a Family Mart just across the street, and a small japanese bento lunch / dinner take away too. Reception staff is very friendly and helpful, but they dont speak much english (or other). We managed fine though :)

The staff was very friendly and helpful and were able to communicate in English, which I really appreciated. The room had every facility you could need and the hotel was quiet and clean. Location is great and very central.

The hotel room is clean and modern!
