forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.4 out of 5 (5 reviews). Guests mention the easy access, just a 1-minute walk from Shijo Station, and describe the hotel as clean and well located. On the other hand, there is also a report that phone and internet connections barely worked during the stay and that the problem was never resolved even after asking the front desk, so guests who depend on a reliable connection should keep this in mind.
Overview
Courtyard by Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma is a city hotel in Shijo Karasuma, a 1-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway. It has 125 rooms in 9 types, and elementary school children aged 12 and under can co-sleep in the same bed. All rooms are non-smoking, Wi-Fi is free, and breakfast at Le Bon Vivre features Western-style dishes by the bakery Shinshindo. Nishiki Market is a 5-minute walk away. There is no communal bath, onsen or indoor or outdoor pool, and no parking either, so the hotel makes a convenient base for exploring Kyoto by public transportation.
Rooms
The hotel has 125 rooms in 9 types. The standard Guest Room King is 23 sq m, with one double bed 183 cm wide, and sleeps 1 to 2 guests. The Guest Room Twin and the Wide King guest room are both 26 sq m, and each also sleeps 1 to 2 guests. Some rooms can be booked as connecting rooms (reservation required), which suits families who want rooms next to each other. All rooms are non-smoking, and Wi-Fi is free. Some rooms have a bathroom with a separate washing area, along with a humidifier and an air purifier.
Dining
Breakfast is served at the all-day dining restaurant Le Bon Vivre and centers on Western-style dishes by Shinshindo, a bakery with more than 100 years of history in Kyoto. It is served from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and the restaurant is open to outside visitors as well as staying guests. Breakfast is not included in the room rate, and no complimentary breakfast is offered. Room service is available during your stay, which helps at mealtimes when it is hard to go out with children.
Family-Friendly Features
Elementary school children aged 12 and under can stay in the same room on a co-sleeping basis. Co-sleeping is limited to one child per adult and one child per regular bed, and if you have co-sleeping children, you are asked to tell the hotel their number and ages in advance. Meals for co-sleeping children cost extra. There is a water server on every floor. The building has elevators throughout, so getting around with a stroller is easy. There is no onsen, communal bath, sauna or indoor or outdoor pool, so bathing is in your own room's bathroom. There is no parking either, so anyone dropping off or picking up by car will need to use a nearby pay parking lot.
Access
The hotel is a 1-minute walk from Exit 6 of Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway and a 5-minute walk from Hankyu Karasuma Station. Nishiki Market is a 5-minute walk away, and Kawaramachi and Pontocho are also within walking distance. The hotel has no parking, so if you arrive by car you will need to use a nearby pay parking lot. Check-in is from 3 p.m. to midnight, and checkout is at 12 p.m.
