Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto Shijo

Hoping that inbound tourism had calmed down a bit, I visited Kyoto for the first time in a while after staying away for some time. In the past, I usually stayed at well-known national brand Hotels in Japan and abroad, but this time I was traveling solo and wanted to keep costs down, so I walked as much as possible and booked this Hotel through IKYU. It turned out to be the perfect choice. I arrived at night, and walking to the Accommodation instead of taking a taxi as usual felt refreshing as I strolled through Kyoto’s traditional machiya streetscape while finding my way. To be honest, since it’s a Business Hotel I didn’t have high expectations, but the Room was spacious enough with a functional layout. The bathtub was large, and even the shower head had a mist-switch function—my expectations were pleasantly exceeded! Breakfast doesn’t offer an omelet service, but there is still a good selection of both Japanese and Western items. The salad vegetables were very fresh! There were options for rice (white rice, multigrain rice, and porridge), and soups included potage, miso soup, and motsu hot pot—so many pleasant surprises that it was hard to choose. Since I have allergies, I asked about the ingredients in the multigrain rice; the staff checked carefully for me. That said, it would be helpful if allergen information for ingredients/components were displayed. All of the staff were kind, and I would like to visit again. Thank you for taking care of me during my stay.

I stayed with my elderly mother (in a wheelchair), and I am deeply grateful for the warm hospitality of all the staff. At the breakfast venue, they thoughtfully brought a spoon, fork, and paper napkin to make it easier for my mother to eat. Additionally, they kindly said, "Please stay healthy forever," showcasing their exceptional service. Truly bravo!
