Our kids and us love staying here. The staff was super easy to communicate with. All the check-in and checkout instructions were super detailed. We had a little miscommunication on checkout about where the key cards were and the online staff did they due diligence to make sure the keys were where I said I put them. Absolutely a phenomenal stay I’ve never stayed anywhere like this place before. If you’re visiting Kyoto with kids, this place is the best. You’re about a three minute walk to the subway and you can get just about anywhere in the city the cheapest that way there’s a grocery nearby plus a 7-Eleven and tons of restaurants. On top of all that there are several playgrounds and parks in the area.

Great kid-friendly stay

My family had a great time at Play Resi Stay! My children (7 and 5) absolutely loved the bunk bed and the room decor - we chose a sweets room. The room was comfortable and spacious and the play areas on each floor were great. The only downside was having to go to a different location to check in, but it is very close to Kyoto station, so not too difficult. However, it was great to be able to make use of the shuttle bus from the check in location to the apartment. The location is fantastic - close to a subway and convenience stores. We would stay again!
