Private Residence Kyoto Sakura — Hotel in Kyoto

My stay at this apartment was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I stepped in, I was blown away by the sheer spaciousness of the place. The layout is incredibly well-designed, providing ample room to move around and relax. Unlike cramped hotel rooms, this apartment truly felt like a home away from home.

The highlight for me was the presence of not one, but two air conditioners. With the summer heat outside, stepping into a cool and comfortable environment was a true blessing. And speaking of blessings, the two osen bathtubs were a dream come true! The water temperature was delightfully hot, providing a soothing and rejuvenating experience after a long day of exploring.

The apartment's proximity to the Keihan Electric railway was a game-changer. Being so close to the Nara line made our daily commutes a breeze, allowing us to effortlessly explore the city and its surroundings. Convenience at its best!

Laundry facilities on-site were a super plus. Traveling light was made easy by having the option to do laundry whenever necessary. As for the fully-equipped kitchen, even though we didn't get a chance to cook, having all the amenities available was reassuring.

I cannot emphasize enough how much more space we had compared to a typical hotel room. It truly made a difference in our overall comfort and relaxation. After a day of sightseeing, coming back to this spacious haven was something I looked forward to every single day.

This apartment exceeded all my expectations. The combination of space, luxurious amenities like the osen bathtubs and air conditioners, convenience to the Keihan Electric railway, and the overall comfort made for an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that offers more than just a place to sleep, this is it. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

It's close to Kyoto Station - one might say it's walking distance but anything is if you really are determined to...

Our family of four (parents plus teenagers) had an amazing stay at the Sakura Residence. The apartment is a good size with plenty of space, including storage. The shower is great, the bath so deep and relaxing, and the beds are comfortable. It’s located in a quiet and safe street just a short walk from Murmur Cafe, Kawama Cafe, and Kyoto Beer Lab. It’s a great location for the metro and for the 205 bus service - a great service to get around all the main tourist sites for a good price and quick journey.

With suitcases it is a 15-20 min from the station so either take a cab or the number 4,7, or 205 bus. The river is next door and is a lovely walk to see some wildlife. We sat on the wall alongside the river one evening with a gin and tonic to watch the sunset.

We’d definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sakura residence, greqt value! So spacious, comfortable and clean, with all the equipment needed to make our stay feel like home. We loved the interiour style, very minimalist and calming, the shower room felt very stylish compare to typical shower space in other hotels we have been to. The beds are very comfortable and we loved the natural cross ventilation when we opened windows. Location is a bit further away from the center and Gion than we had on our last visit to Kyoto but we absolutely adored our daily stroll along the river and hystorical Kiyamachi street. We will definitely return to Sakura residence on our next...
