HIZ HOTEL Gion-Shirakawa

It's more of an apartment than a hotel. In the room there's a microwave, washing machine, fridge, and small kitchen. The room fit 3 adults. The window can't be opened widely but it's enough to have air circulation. Really love the location. Inside small road and it's calm dan quiet. Near little shops, subway station and the shirakawa river. So beautiful and calm. Love to do morning walk around the river. It's only 20 minutes away from Ninenzaka by foot and you will love the neighborhood along the way especially in the morning, with fresh air and almost nobody around. There are some rules about garbage disposal where we have to sort some type of garbage and there are manuals in english for operating microwave, water heater, toilet, washing machine, etc. Sent my luggages from Tokyo via takkyubin and it arrived safely in the hotel.

I love the room. It was very spacious, and had complete amenities like a washing machine with soap, a stove along with complete utensils and pots and pan, a microwave which we used to heat all our food. I truly enjoyed my stay there as it had a heated toilet seat, a shower with an exhaust like thing that would also give heat. I would definitely recommend

The hotel is a km away from the busiest tourist shopping spot of Gion, Kyoto. Taxi is very accessible. The wifi is fast, heater for the bathroom was okay. Space is a bit small for a group of 4. Also no dishrack for the washed dishes to dry. All in all, it was okay.

Perfect!!!

The description said there is a sofa bed but it’s not true, it’s just a sofa, please change the description. Other than that, the room is nice.
