Tassel Hotel Sanjo Shirakawa

Amazing!!!! Everything. Best hotel we’ve stayed in for the price. Shower and tub was amazing. Rooms were pretty spacious and comfortable and AC worked well. Staff was accommodating. Happy hour every night was unreal!! Such a great stay!!!

This is a wonderful hotel on the river bank with a wonderful view, where you want to return after an intensive day. In the lobby, some kind of Japanese art is always presented, there is also a wonderful selection of books to read. The hotel is located near many famous temples, 5 minutes by metro to the center. Comfortable room, especially good bathroom and bed with pillows. Excellent service and kind responsive staff. Good fresh breakfast always, many restaurants in the area. You want to come back to such a hotel again and again, as to your home. I thank each employee of the hotel for the wonderful atmosphere and kind hearts!

Recommended for Kyoto! good location next to subway station that you can use to transfer to other lines (there are a few in Kyoto). quiet location with quick walk to historic areas. 10-15 minute walk to dozens of restaurants and there are a few very close by. Most comfortable room + bathroom (except the two twins being pushed together) - big for Japan standards. Nice building/lobby and comfortable to return to each day. Loved the happy hour with free drinks/snacks. Breakfast good (not authentic Japanese but that was okay with me) - a little boring after 4 nights with the same thing every day but was pretty much what i'd eat at home. Friendly staff.

The room was quite big, clean, with comfy beds, the hotel staff was amazing, so friendly and helpful! We asked if we can leave the suitcases before the check in and they said it's okay, also leaving them at the hotel after the check out as our train was in the afternoon which was a relief! The breakfast was nice although it maybe lacked in variety but overall good. The location of the hotel is very nice, maybe a bit far from the "center" if you prefer to walk, but there is a metro station right outside as well as a bus station. They also offered free drinks in the evenings which was nice :)

Everything was great - room, hotel facilities, ambience, people. I liked the design and style, especially the ceiling, the material they used for soundproofing (I guess) looks awesome. I particularly enjoyed the separate shower room with shower and bath both. They have a nice evening drinks and snacks in their cozy lobby area. I wish more people utilized this amenity, it was a bit empty; but of course evening is the time when most tourists are out for dinner and fun. We had breakfast once, and it was quite nice. Location is great too, easily walkable to Gion, Pontocho and shops, but tucked away, so you don’t get noise and crowds. Right by the subway exit.
