AB Hotel Kyoto Shijo Horikawa

The room is a small typical Japanese hotel rooms. Tidy and clean, nothing special. Love the public bath, it's so convenient to have a public bath in your hotel, relaxing in a hot bath after a long day of walking. Location is good, 5-7 minutes walk to train and bus stations. The staffs were so helpful and speak English well. They helped us getting our shoulder bag we left at our previous hotel.

A lot of space as far as Japanese hotels go. It’s conveniently located close to shops and public transport. The double single rooms are large enough for two people. Bathrooms are standard Japanese bathrooms, very small however a non issue, it still gets the job done.

Really nice hotel with a great japanese breakfast. The SPA is nice bonus. The location is eccentric but you have all the buses you need right in front of the hotel and you can go directly to Gion or Kyoto Station.

The location, right on Shijo Doori was excellent and the main shopping area was easily reached. Buses travel along Shijo and Horikawa to all corners of the city including directly to the station. The staff were super helpful, including allowing me to leave one of my suitcases at the hotel while I briefly went elsewhere. The hot bath in the ground floor isn’t anything special and likely isn’t a true onsen (i.e. not volcanic spring water) but is still very pleasant to relax after a long day.

The staff here are incredibly professional, kind, and polite. There was a small mix-up during my stay, but they handled it with care and sincerity. The rooms are clean and comfortable, great value for the affordable price. Highly recommend!
