Shiki Shiki Higashiyama is a convenient and enjoyable hostel with a nice little local shopping alley and subway station close by. Only major down side was the shared bathroom as the shower base is damaged and might end up hurting someone some day.

Nice hostel

The add showed a private bathroom there was a private shower but a shared bathroom, we were able to leave our luggage inside before our check in, but we were not able to talk to anybody after that, only through the hotels app and it was difficult, the place is very neat, modern and nice, but a more communicative service would help the overall experience

We loved staying here for our one night trip in Kyoto. The room itself is clean and its Japanese style room. Shared bathrooms and showers. It doesn’t have elevator so I wouldn’t recommend to stay here if you have heavy luggages and staying for longer duration.

The good is the location. The bad is staying and n confined space. The bedding is very thin and not recommended for people with back or mobility issues. Charge extra for towels. Stayed at other japanese accommodation and much more comfortable. Was very difficult to get hold of staff as the unit was hot and air conditioning was not working. Seems overcharging for the accommodation offered. Not sure why expedia rated as wonderful.

There was a bunk bed (tatami style) and a wonderful experience. There was also a train and bus station near by, a 3 min walk away from the hotel. There was a traditional shop selling fried potato and chicken just around the corner, an easy stop for a quick breakfast. Just at the junction, there was also a western food shop and fruit stall. I highly recommend this place to stay if you prefer a quieter environment. Our room is very clean but our room was required to share toilets. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we realised how it wasn't a problem at all. In fact, my girl found it very fun and interesting. Once again, highly recommended

We booked the twin room and it turns out the ad was misleading. There are no photos of the room in entirety because in reality it was extremely small, probably about 30 sq feet, and definitely not enough space for luggage. There is no elevator, only a steep narrow stairwell to the 3rd floor. They don’t answer multiple of their phone lines or messages on Expedia - when we finally got a hold of someone, he said it was because they are a chain so the phone goes to a different location and they are busy doing something else. The slippers they gave us were ripped apart at the side edge like 4cm- I could not wear them safely on the stairs. Towels are 200 yen each. I would not recommend this place and will avoid it again. My 2 night stay in august cost 125 USD for 2 people. This is really just an expensive but themed hostel.

Clean, but very small and uncomfortable futons.

Room did the job of providing a clean bathroom and a roof. The futons were very thin on slabs of wood - NOT COMFORTABLE at all. The room was super expensive for what it was. We had 3 people in a room the size of a walk-in closet. No chairs, hardly any floorspace. There was never a person at the desk that you could talk to and ask questions. I even called the number they had at the desk and no one answered. We were instructed to leave our money for the room in the room when we left which made me very uncomfortable. I felt safer doing that since I booked through hotels.com.

Um hotel que não fornece toalhas de banho, mesmo constando no anúncio como inclusas é absurdamente ridículo e desrespeitoso. Havia um aviso na recepção ao lado de uma pilhas de toalhas de "deixe 200 yenes no copo por cada toalha alugada" Além disso, conheço mais de 10 hospedagens no Japão, essa foi a ÚNICA que tentou me cobrar 800 yenes de "taxa de turismo" por UMA noite para 2 pessoas. Taxa essa não citada no anúncio. Me senti enganada por tais cobranças Ficamos no quarto do primeiro piso, ouvimos pessoas entrando e saindo até de madrugada, rindo e conversando Não havia espaço adequado para deixar as malas na recepção, ficando no espaço (minúsculo) coletivo, onde qualquer um pode ter acesso e ninguém para supervisão As camas, que no anuncio sao descritas como de casal, na verdade são os colchonetes tradicionais japoneses e nao camas, sao dois tamanhos de solteiros colocados lado a lado, impossibilitando de dividir cobertores e proximidade com o marido na hora de dormir, visto que o colchonete corria e acabavamos tendo que voltar ao nosso lugar individual para ter conforto, achei isso muito péssimo também. Pontos altos: o banheiro é lindo, a banheira tem um ótimo tamanho e a privada é individualizada, o que ajuda na logística de dividir o quarto, a vibe do quarto é romântica. Hotel bem localizado
