SH by the square hotel Kyoto Kiyamachi
600-8027 Kyoto, Kyoto, 403-1 Namba-cho, Nishikiyamachi-dori Matsubara-sagaru, Shimogyo-ku, Japan – Great location - show map
Free bikes! This was a HUGE bonus. Very helpful staff, awesome bed, free matcha chocolates and matcha wafers with the coffee in the main foyer
New ZealandThe room is spacious. Free movies. Complimentary drinks are offered at the lobby. A bus stop nearby.
Hong KongThe size of the room was great, something which seems to be hard to find in the area. On top of that, the breakfast was amazing (and peaceful). We also used the hotel bicycles to get around and managed to do laundry without any hassle. Even when we did not want cleaning, they'd provide water bottles and fresh towels in a bag and left them outside the room.
FinlandThe cleanliness of the room. Spacious double bed and pajamas are a nice touch. Amenities in the room are good quality - Dyson hairdryer and tea bags. Close proximity to subway station. A lot of shops nearby
United KingdomThe staffs are pretty friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
GermanyThis hotel was exceptional. Felt as though I was at the spa as the lighting and atmosphere of the rooms was so elegant and peaceful. The location of this hotel was also incredible and allowed us to have the best time ever. I was actually sad to be leaving this hotel but I know I will be back!
AustraliaAlmost everything was perfect, the location, the staff, cleanliness etc. the only thing that was lacking was the space but I wouldn’t complain much as it is a typical room size in Japan, the next time we come, we will try to book the bigger room. Everything else was perfect! We’d like to thank the staff who helped us with our check in, Hannda, she was very professional, explanations were all clear and recommended a very good soba place that we eventually went twice!
SingaporeThe hotel SH by the square is very well located, all important places to visit are reachable by foot. The bus #205 stop (to go to Golden Kinkaku-ji Temple ) is 1 min away from the hotel’s doors. Everything you need was in the room! Even a little cute ironing set. Separate bathroom and toilet which is quite rare for Japan. Very pleased with my stay!
SpainLovely comfortable big rooms for Japan and liked separate toilet and shower/ bath.
United KingdomThe staff were very welcoming and friendly and were happy to help. The room was spacious enough for 2, with a really good bathroom area. The room was cleaned daily even when we left late - and cleaned really well!
