forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.4 out of 5 (5 reviews). Guests praise the convenient location a 1-minute walk from Shijo Station and describe the hotel as clean and well placed. One guest also reports that phone and internet connections barely worked during their stay and that the issue remained unresolved after raising it with the front desk, so travelers who rely on connectivity should keep this in mind.
Overview
Courtyard by Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma is a city hotel in the Shijo Karasuma district, 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. Every room is non-smoking and Wi-Fi is free, while breakfast is a Western-style spread by the bakery Shinshindo, served at Le Bon Vivre. Nishiki Market is a 5-minute walk away. There is no communal bath, onsen or indoor or outdoor pool, and no parking, so the hotel works best as a base for exploring Kyoto by public transport.
Rooms
There are 125 rooms in 9 types. The standard Guest Room King is 23 sq m with one double bed 183 cm wide and accommodates 1-2 guests. The Guest Room Twin is 26 sq m and the Wide King guest room is also 26 sq m, each accommodating 1-2 guests. Some rooms can be used as connecting rooms with a reservation, which helps families who want neighboring rooms. All rooms are non-smoking and Wi-Fi is free. Some rooms have a bathroom with a separate washing area and are equipped with a humidifier and an air purifier.
Dining
Breakfast is served at the all-day dining restaurant Le Bon Vivre, centered 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 heading out with children is difficult.
Family-friendly features
Elementary school children aged 12 and under can stay in the same room by co-sleeping. Co-sleeping is limited to one child per adult and one child per regular bed, and guests are asked to inform the hotel in advance of the number and ages of any co-sleeping children. Meals for co-sleeping children cost extra. There is a water server on each floor. The hotel has elevators throughout, making it easy to move around with a stroller. There is no onsen, communal bath, sauna or indoor or outdoor pool, so bathing is in the bathroom of your own room. There is no parking either, so anyone dropping guests off by car will need to use a nearby pay parking lot.

Nishiki Market is a 5-minute walk away, and Kawaramachi and Pontocho are also within walking distance. The hotel has no parking, so guests arriving by car will need to use a nearby pay parking lot.
