Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

Clean, fairly spacious. Great location for shops, restaurants and staying centrally to visit all the sites. Laundry and added bonus!!!

We stayed at Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu as a couple from April 18 to April 20, 2025, and absolutely loved the location. The hotel is right in the heart of Kyoto, with shopping streets, the Gion district, and multiple convenience stores all within a 5-minute walk, it truly couldn’t be more convenient. The room and overall stay met all our expectations. However, the only area that could use improvement is the breakfast. We tried it on the first day but decided to skip it the next morning, as it didn’t quite match the quality of the rest of the hotel experience. Overall, we would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kyoto, especially for those who want everything within walking distance.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel while traveling with our two little kids. The location is ideal—close to key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, which made exploring the area with our children so convenient. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a great place for a family stay. The hotel staff were nice and helpful, always going out of their way to assist us, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was okay, offering a wide variety of food. While the options leaned more towards Japanese cuisine, there were some Western choices that worked well for our family. We would have loved to see more fruit, but this seems to be common in hotels across Japan. Overall, our kids loved it, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend it for families!

The photos and ratings didn't fully represent how perfect this property is. The location couldn't be better. Walking distance to Everything. Only a 13 minute bus ride to Kyoto station also. Comfortable room; larger then most in Japan. Boutique hotel look and feel. Already trying to plan a return trip when we can stay longer.

The hotel is located at a very busy street, just about 300m to the nearest station and about 200m from the bus stop that ride straight to Kyoto station with city bus 205 or 04. At 1st floor of the building, there is a drug store that has good price. The hotel is right next to the alley that leads to Nishiki market, and just a few steps to the Don Quijote. There are about 5 malls along that street and many other game centres and toy stores. It is a modern Kyoto area for tourists so you can find many good restaurants nearby, just a few minutes of walk. The room is so big for 2, about twice - triple size of other 3 star hotels in Tokyo. They have seperated spaces for wc and shower and sink, that is very impressive. All the amenities are not equipped in the room but you can take what you want at the reception hall at 2nd floor. We got the corner room on 8th floor, which gave us the best view to see surrounding street. They have large lounge at the reception hall, with comfortable sofas and a coffee machine that let guests drink unlimited, and it is quite tasty, better than Starbucks lol. Guests can take a rest there comfortablely
