If I has more plans in the south of Kyoto, I would definitely stay at Hotel She. The staff were super and the rooms were adequate in size. However, as tourist to Tokyo, I suggest staying close to Gion if possible. Most everything we did was north of Kyoto Station, so staying at Hotel She was not efficient.

Hotel She is a really charming hotel that has a young boutique vibe. While most hotels in Japan last you leave your luggage before your check in time, Hotel She was the first that brought our luggage to our room before we got there. It was such a lovely touch that set up a positive experience.

We had a great stay here. Room was spacious in comparison to alot of Japan properties. Really good strong shower. Decorated well and very clean. Loved all the extras that went into this property including free ice cream and drinks everyday, a wide selection of vinyls to use in your room with your own vinyl player. Friendly staff. Close to transportation and bike hire options. 5 minutes to bus stop, catch city bus 207 for Gion with lots of food options. Love this city so much. Thanks

The hotel was great! I booked a last minute room for my mom and we were pleased. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They offer happy hour and free ice cream (really good). The atmosphere is great from the entrance and reflected in the room too. It was super clean and it had a window that opened widely. It also had a turntable in the room! Really enjoyable after long and tired days. It has laundry self service. Definitely I will book again if I travel to Kyoto!

The location is good, however there is no a lot of food options around the hotel. The rooms do not get cleaned daily and the towers do not get changed unless you ask for it. Breakfast options were limited. Good for 1 or two nights stand but not more

Don't believe the old review's, it's changed.

This is a nice and refreshing hotel! Sparkling clean, good service, good bar, and very good bed. The staff is friendly and helpful. Be Sure to try the local ramen place, it is better than most. The hotel is located 10min walk from Kyoto station and the road is suitcase friendly. Highly recommended. They are famous for their big baby ice-cream and seems to attract Instagram girls. Be sure to try there homemade coke and I have heard thatthey soon will be serving gin and tonics next to their local ale.

Andre

Disliked: Amenities
Hotel She feels like a slight step up from a hostel, but unfortunately not much more than that. The location was quite desolate, which made it inconvenient as Kyoto is a city where your home base really shapes your experience. Being farther out made getting around noticeably less enjoyable, and it didn’t set a great tone for the stay. The staff were friendly, but they didn’t seem very familiar with the surrounding area, especially when it came to recommending places to eat. Additionally, even though our room was already prepared, we were handed the key and still told to wait the full 10 minutes until the official check-in time before going up. Not a huge issue, but it added to the impression that the service lacked flexibility and customer experience wasn’t a priority. Overall, while the hotel had some charm, it was a thin veneer. The combination of the isolated location, lack of local guidance, and poor first impression make it hard to recommend. If you’re planning a trip to Kyoto, it’s worth spending a bit more to stay somewhere with a better location and a stronger guest experience.

チェックイン時からフロントスタッフが丁寧に対応してくれ、気持ちの良い滞在のスタートでした。宿泊者向けサービスでいただいたアイスは本格的な味わいで、想像以上に美味しかったです。部屋はレトロでおしゃれな雰囲気があり、アナログレコードプレーヤーが設置されていて、貸し出し用のレコードも楽しめました。さらに種類が増えると嬉しいかもしれません。 ホテル全体のサイズも程よく、団体客が少ないため静かに過ごせ、ロビーではソウルやポップの音楽がほど良いざわめきの中に流れていて、落ち着いた空間を感じました。新築のような真新しさはないものの、清潔感が保たれており、その分どこか趣のある雰囲気を楽しめます。アメニティのボディソープやシャンプーも香りが良く、細やかなこだわりが感じられました。ただ、タオルが少しゴワゴワしていたのが唯一残念な点でしたが、全体としてはまた泊まりたくなるような素敵なホテルでした。
