しづや KYOTOに泊まった方の口コミ・宿泊体験

I found this kind of accommodation rather often in Japan recently. Compact and it reminds me of rubik cube somehow.  The wall is very thin and it is not soundproof. It is very noisy because of other guests. Usually people don't pay attention to the sound when you open/close the doors or lock/unlock the keys. Each time other guests come back or go out, you will have to hear the noise. Therefore, ear plugs are provided. :D Main building - Only female accepted  There is only 1 bathroom but it is big (Typical Japanese bathroom)  3 toilets Smaller Pantry Washing machine Relaxing area in front of reception Annex 3 bathrooms (One of them is huge) Kitchen  Public space Laundry machine Public space can't be used during cleaning time. Although Google Map shows the correct location, the entrance is very difficult to spot as the sign / logo is very small.T he door of the entrance looks like it is locked but just slide the door if it is inside of their business hours. It is not locked.  If you usually stay in a hostel, you should consider Shizuya hotel, you can keep your privacy even when you choose a dorm.  It is very modern and clean. I stayed in a single room but shower and toilet are all shared. All amenities are provided in the shower space but I found a hair dryer in the room I stayed in, too. Other than the hair dryer, there are so many things equipped in the room like a small fan, hangers, air cleaner (?). I actually didn't check what they were but I found some small electric devices in the closet.  Linen is the only amenity you can get. You can rent bath towel, face towel and toothbrush (all JPY100 each) You can't eat anything in the room. If you get something to eat, you have to eat it in the public space in the annex/main building. If it is annex, you can use the kitchen too.  Microwaves, coffee machines, plates, cups, instant miso soup ... they actually have everything. Public space in front of the reception (Main building) is just chilling out space but eating is allowed. Location is pretty good.  I walked from Kyoto JR station as I didn't have a suitcase with me. If you don't get lost, it should be about 10-15 minutes walking. Once you get to the hotel, it is still walking distance to Gion.  There are convenience stores nearby (Family Mart and 7-eleven) Reception isn't 24 hours. (0900 - 1900) If you have to check in outside of their business hours, you should let them know in advance.  They accept luggage before check in/after check out
