Shimamoto Vacation Packages

Walking distance to main attraction and train stations.

We really enjoyed how a lot of popular attractions where within walking distance and how spacious the room was.

Rooms were a great size and clean. Location was great to get around town. Having laundry machines was a plus.

Awesome location especially because it’s right above sinsaibashi station entrance.

Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel in Kyoto was quite disappointing, especially considering the price we paid. The room was extremely small, with barely enough space to accommodate our luggage and personal belongings. The overall condition of the hotel also felt quite dated, and there was a noticeably damp atmosphere throughout the property, including inside our room, which made the stay less comfortable. One particularly frustrating issue was the shower. The showerhead was not adjustable and sprayed water in all directions, to the point that we had to hold it with one hand just to shower properly. These are basic amenities that should not be an issue at a hotel charging this rate. What made the experience even more disappointing was the lack of interest from the staff during checkout. Nobody bothered to ask how our stay was or whether we had encountered any issues, missing a simple opportunity to demonstrate customer care. To be fair, the hotel’s location was its one major advantage. However, a good location alone does not justify the expensive rate, particularly when the room quality, overall condition, and service fall short of expectations. In my opinion, this property does not live up to its advertised four-star standard. Based on our experience, I would struggle to consider it even a three-star hotel. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel, and we would not choose to stay here again.

Too expensive for what it offeres and the small of mold was not good.

The restaurant Octobar was super crowded and cramped for breakfast. Constant line to get coffee from machine that guests from different countries have trouble selecting buttons or options, so it takes a while for each person to get a cup of coffee. Food was average at best. I was disappointed with food selection. Tours seem to eat breakfast here in cramped restaurant spaces.
