Zen Kyoto Apartment Hotel

The room is very clean & spacious (especially for Japan). There is a washing machine but no dryer function. However, there is dehumidifier air control in the bathroom to dry your clothes and you can set the total hours. It's very easy to use and our clothes were dry in few hours. There is a sofa, walk in robe and kitchenette. It's located near Takeda station. Front desk staffs are friendly, a few of them speak little English. Overall we have no issue and it was comfortable stay. Recommended!

The hotel and room are very clean, well-maintained, and very spacious for Japan. the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and spoke excellent English. Don’t be put off by the location being in a very residential with a small farm nearby, it was very assessable to central Kyoto and the tourist sights towards the East. Train to Kyoto central was frequent and only took about 10mins. There’s also an awesome izakaya nearby that served delicious food! In summary, highly recommend and would stay here again if we are ever in Kyoto.

Amazing place to stay, by far the best accommodation of our trip. Two adults and a teenager in an apartment. Nice, quiet residential area but only a couple of minutes from a station where you could get the train to Kyoto station in 8 minutes. Check in was easy, we were lucky that the staff member we dealt with spoke good English. Note that there are not staff on site 24 hours. The apartment was spacious and comfortable which was particularly nice after having spent the first part of the trip in a small hotel room in Tokyo. We were able to have a bit of our own space and chilled out on the sofa watching films after long days of sightseeing (we logged into our Netflix account). Loved that we got to watch the sunset from our balcony. Having the kitchen was great as we were able to have a couple of meals without having to eat out. There was a 7/11 a few minutes walk away to buy any essentials needed. There was a brilliant folder in the apartment giving instructions on how to use everything, with photos to help. Especially useful for the washing machine! There was another folder with easy to read maps of the main visitor sites in the city and which trains/buses to take to get there. Each member of staff had also listed their top thing to do. Another map showed various local restaurants. Would definitely stay here again if we went back to Kyoto.

The staff is nice. There is a quite launge on the ground floor with some food and alcohol. The room was very large and the kitchen was equipped with everything you need. The hotel is 5 minutes walk away from the train station.

Just wonderfull. In a quiet and safe neighborhood but only 3 minutes walk from Takeda station. The room is spacious, super clean, with washing machine (they'll give you detargent- no worry). and no drier but a special program in the bathroom that dries your clothes, so convenient and clever. No 7-11 or family mart nearby but you would pass through Kyoto Station on your way back, 5-9 min ride from Takeda and in Kyoto Station there are plenty of options to buy whatever you need. We asked and were given new supply of towels and coffee for the coffee machine and so on. Anything we stocked out- they refilled. We spent 8 nights and. wish we had more.
