HOTEL MASTAY jingumichi

Excellent location for easy walking to major sites. Excellent bus service just out the door....and train stop a short walk away. Felt very safe in this quiet area. Nice to actually have a reception desk. (which offered treats) Felt very spoilt by towel and cleaning services offered. Nice PJs too. Great little kitchen and easy to use Washing Machine. We had 4 beds and a nice table in the seating area. Yes, it was a bit of a squeeze when there are 4 beds...but we all had lovely comfortable double beds. ...and a big closet for suitcases and clothes. I would certainly stay here again. (Important)...read the "very clearly" written english signs regarding temperature control of water. In other words don't get creative pushing buttons. I am laughing....

Beautiful apartment that comfortable slept and catered for a family of 5 (4 of whom are 6 foot or taller!) Clean, modern, and the washer/dryer came In useful. Loved the amenities including pyjamas and toiletries. Great location - 300m to subway station And walking distance to Gion. Lots of eateries within walking distance. Staff communicated well in English and were a great help using the luggage forwarding service to send our bags ahead of us to Tokyo. Price was very reasonable for a spacious apartment that comfortably slept 5 (on 3 queen size beds)

Hotel Mustay Jingumichi is an excellent choice for Kyoto being in an area with good close subway links and walking ability to tourist sites. The accommodation is large sized and for our 6N stay, we loved our room being a studio apartment with fully equipped kitchen, great bathroom area with washing machine & separate toilet. There was a very comfortable large bed, roomy wardrobe area, lounge & dining areas and we could spread out which was much appreciated during our 5 week trip to Japan. The accommodation was very clean with lovely staff on duty (not 24 hr) who were very helpful. There was double glazing which ensured the busy road noise was minimal.We found good restaurant & cafe options very close by as well as convenience stores. On a prior trip to Kyoto we had stayed in another area however we really preferred this location and room size, which was also a very good price. Would definitely stay again.

Traveling with husband and 3 adult “children”, Mastay afforded us an airbnb like facility with all the support of a hotel. Each room had a kitchen and our 2 bdrm unit had a really lovely place to gather. One night we booked a chef to prepare an amazing meal for the 5 of us. The hotel provided a translator so we could understand the preparation of all the different and special foods. Location was great for transportation around city, museums and Gion area restaurants. We spent one day in Nara and Osaka, traveling by train. That was the only part of location aspect zoo didn’t care for- was a bit for from the train station-BUT our area was quieter than station also. Oh- look for Taiko Lab and book a drumming experience, enjoy a geisha meeting to learn more and be able to ask questions, visit Kokodera Temple aka the Moss Temple. Peaceful and lovely!

It is not easy to find a room with basic kitchen facility in urban hotel. Those equipments gave us alternative on handling deep night meal from the convenience store. There are multiple ways to get to various part of the city, bus stop and metro station are nearby.
