I have had the pleasure of staying at several Stay Sakura locations and have consistently enjoyed my experiences. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms, while small, are comfortable. I particularly appreciate the separate bathroom and shower, as well as the kitchenette. The locations are also very convenient, with close proximity to train stations, bus stops, and local shopping streets like Sanjo, which offer a great opportunity to explore the local shops.

This Stay Sakura is slightly smaller in size compared to others, but it remains an excellent accommodation choice.

Great modern design, very clean. Room very functional and the bathroom is quite generous. Laundry facilities are available, and the staff was very friendly at all times.

Room could be slightly bigger to allow for easier packing/unpacking

This was a nicely sized space for 1-2 people traveling and exploring Kyoto. The staff were all really nice. The room was very clean, and I especially liked the heated toilet, the bathtub, and the free coffee!! The walk to Nijo Station was only 5 minutes and from there, you can take the express train to Kyoto Station. Generally, the location is very central to the hot spot touristy areas like Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (east), Fushimi Inari Taisha (SW), and Gion District is simply by Kyoto Station. All in all, we had a lovely stay.

Apart from having to keep your window shut at night because of noise in the street (perhaps I could ask for a room at the back next time), I found the hotel itself very calm and restful which is what you want after sightseeing in a busy city. I think the most outstanding factor was the personnel. Khairul was extremely helpful in my travel needs and local information. His command of English is excellent and he’s such a nice man. Your amenities on offer were excellent i.e. coffee, washing machine-dryer. I also found the kitchenette useful as I was often too tired to go out for dinner. I will be back again.

As noted above just the noise in the street. However, it is very well placed for easy access to the town centre.

Staff is nice when checking in. Free coffee and tea at lobby. Provide luggage storage after checkout. Close to bus station and Family Mart

Expected to have at least a small table & chair with this room size of 22 sq.m. Other hotels with this size do have table/chair. Provided cooking facility but without a place to sit and eat is a misfortune. cooking bench is also small, no minimum space for 2 plates of food. You have to hold the plate all the way eating when only sitting on the bed. Although the bedding is comfortable we found a bunch of hair at the edge of bed heading under pillows. Fridge is not cold enough even for milk drinks in summer time of 38 C outside. Image what a situation for walking 15 min to hotel with 2 luggages when you cannot squeeze luggages into bus.

Sakura Kyoto is a fantastic little hotel in an excellent location as it is only a 5 minute walk to the train station and on the bus route which will take you directly to the best restaurant and bar areas in Kyoto. There is a seven11 15 meters from the hotel, a pharmacy across the road and a shopping arcade which has some fantastic dining. The hotel is tucked away down a side street so is very quite and private. It has a complimentary laundry room and in the foyer you will find many useful guide books to help you plan your days. This hotel is excellent value for money and very nicely styled. I would most definitely stay here again.

Although quite compact, the room+kitchen were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with induction stove, microwave and kettle. We stayed for 6 nights and the whole staff was polite and very helpful. The common area had a dining table and coffee/tea machine that we used for our meals. Very nice coffee! The bus stop and Nijo JR station both are a short walk and have direct connections to many of the sights. 7/11 and supermarkets are also just around the corner. Would definitely recommend this place!

There was not much space between the bed and the kitchen but small rooms seems to be quite common in Japan. Entrance and bathroom was spacious enough though.

The hotel is very charming and modelled after the traditional Japanese style. The rooms are a bit small but there is everything you need including a small kitchenette with a microwave and kettle. There are enough towels in your room for the duration of the stay but you can get additional towels from the staff for 150 yen. Towels don't get switched during your stay! There are a lot of restaurants nearby as well as two convenience stores.

The rooms are only cleaned once a week, which is not a major problem but a bit inconvenient if you stay for a few days. The location is not close to any major sights but there is a bus stop 3min walk from the hotel and a train station about 10min away.

Our favourite accommodation in Japan so far. Lovely hotel, very modern and clean. Good sized room, comfortable beds, and very well thought out shower/bathroom amenities. Also a great location with the nearest station less than a 10 minute walk away. Great restaurants nearby and right next to a Family Mart and 7/11. Our room had a kitchenette which we didn’t use but would be so handy for a longer stay if you were wanting to cook a bit.

That we had to leave! This hotel was such a great base from which to enjoy an exceedingly wonderful city.

This was a nice central hotel located near Kyoto main centre without being too loud and was away from the sea of tourists. Everything was comfortable and the hotel itself is very pretty. It is near some really great restaurants in the alley which were much cheaper than in the central town.

The man who was on the check out counter today in the morning was extremely friendly and the man who checked us in. However the rest of the staff were not so friendly. The room is also very small and it was hard to get things in and out of the suitcases.
