RAKURO Kyoto by THE SHARE HOTELS

Perfect location next to everything you wanna see. Almost every line to all places of interest are on the crossing next to the hotel. The staff is amazing! The fullfilled everything that we wanted (room upgrade and room change) with no hassle. Recommendation in every aspect!

The location is excellent for easy access to subway, buses, restaurants and 15mins walk (or one subway ride) to major shopping areas. The surrounding neighborhoods are quiet yet with much to explore. The hotel has modern and thoughtful decoration. The lounge and rooftop are nice addition. We liked the comfortable beds and relatively spacious bathroom. Our standard western room is big enough for two adult with two carry on suitcases and two backpacks, but it can feel more crammed if someone travels with more luggage. Good breakfast.

Really nice ambience. Generally the rooms and the toilet were clean, however under the sofa , it appears no one has cleaned there for ages. So that’s why I have marked the cleanliness down. We were a family of 3. The goyza place, the robot cafe and the McDonald’s round the corner was all the food my 13 year old wanted. The lounge downstairs was lovely and had microwave and water filling station, so as far as sustainability goes -5 stars. There could be more washing machines and dryers to help with the queue to wash. This facility was great help as we had clean clothes for our next bit of the journey. The staff were very pleasant.

Hotel entrance, guest lounge downstairs is so scenic & zen. The room was really nice and clean. We picked one with a larger space where we could push 2 floor mattresses together. The bathroom was great -- love the shower & tub situation. But for our particular room, the bathroom was outside of our bedroom area connected by a private hallway and you had to make sure to keep a keycard with you so you don't get locked out of the bedroom. I just put a shoe in the doorway so as not to lock myself out. The staff are very helpful and even provided great suggestions for places to eat. Laundry machines are easy to use only 400 yen to wash clothes and 100 yen per half hour of drying.

The location is perfect with peaceful and quiet neighbourhood and plenty of nice cafes and restaurants. Short walk to an underground, bus stop and the largest Imperial Palace garden. The room, bathroom, bathtub are spacious. The common area is very nice and it's thoughtful to provide us with water bottles that we can fill them by ourselves anytime.
