Kyoto Four Sisters Residence

Very clean, modern apartment. Plenty of space for our family of four. Staff very friendly and helpful. Short walk to Nijo Castle, bus stops and subway. Thoroughly recommend.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is very nice and clean, located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to subways, restaurants and shops. In room laundry is very convenient.

Friendly staff, clean, good amenities, instructions well laid out and clear.

Four Sisters is a very well-run apartment hotel located in a quiet Kyoto neighbourhood. There are lots of good quality bars restaurants, cafes bakeries combinis supermarkets etc all within a five-minute walk. It's only a short walk to public transport which means the amazing sights of Kyoto are readily accessible. We stayed a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor that was very clean and spacious and well appointed. My family of two adults and two kids really enjoyed our five-night stay at Four Sisters and would love to stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at Kyoto Four Sisters Residence. The apartment was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed, including a washing machine and kitchen. The location was excellent—quiet yet within walking distance to Nijo Castle, convenience stores, and restaurants. The staff were kind and responsive, making check-in smooth and easy. We felt very comfortable and would definitely stay here again.

A really lovely hotel set on a quiet and quaint area. The room was superb with a lounge area & fully equiped kitchen & washing machine. Staff were very friendly and location was excellent - close to Nijo castle & stations. Even gave a leaving present on check out. Recommend this hotel during your

Great room in a central location

Excellent stay at Kyoto four sisters recently. We managed to get around to all the tourist spots easily via train and bus from the hotel. The hotel staff were super friendly and the place was exceptionally clean. Highly recommend.

Kyoto Four Sisters Residence was a wonderful place to stay for our visit to Kyoto. Conveniently located and easy pick up/drop off spot for Go-Taxi. There are many wonderful places to eat close by and it was not on the main street which was great. The sweet bakery next door was perfect for breakfast grab-n-go, especially for our little children. Check in and out was so easy. Communication with staff as well as email was quick and efficient. The room fit our party of 6 very comfortably and felt like home away from home. I highly recommend staying here. We will certainly be staying here again on our next visit to Japan.

It was great to have a non- hotel experience on our trip to Japan. The property was a 7 min walk from the subway, quiet, and had everything or family needed.

The staff were very welcoming and explained a lot of what we needed to know from the start. We loved the no shoes policy! The room was spacious and having three rings to cook on was brilliant. Inside the room was a booklet with lots of information about the residence and things to do locally. There was an option to have an upper body massage by a local therapist, which was very relaxing. We would absolutely stay here again!

It's clean and quiet. Good location. Convenience and grocery store within walking distance. Served my family of 4 perfectly.

Great apartment with two rooms, a kitchenette and lots of space! Everyone was very friendly, spoke good English, and was very helpful. Hotel was in easy walking distance of the Imperial palace and transportation.

We enjoyed our 3-night stay at Four Sisters Residence. Our apartment was spacious and tidy. We especially liked that the bathroom had a large sink and has a great drying system that can dry clothes overnight after wash. The toilet design was good for the environment and was clean. We also like the kitchen that we can cook our own meals. The location of the apartment is also great that it was close to the supermarket, train station, and bus stops. We loved our stay and will definitely recommend to others.

This hotel was amazing. So spacious and clean. The front desk clerk was wonderful.

Friendly and professional staff, walkable if you enjoy waking, but close to major sites and subway stations if not. Kitchenette was equipped for easy prep of light dinners and breakfast. Enjoyed our stay here.

Super clean and the front desk can speak English well. The place is big and beautiful, for a group of 4, you have plenty of space. It feels like you’re at home. It has a kitchen, dining and living room. I highly recommend this place.

Very comfortable but a little far from most tourist attractions with the exception of Nijo castle

It was good to have a kitchenette and washing/drying facilities in the room. Pretty much had everything we needed. If you were staying for a longer time and planning to eat in more then maybe more dinnerware, etc would be required. Bathroom was a bit cramped

A delightful stay at the Four Sisters in Kyoto, beautiful city

This is our second time staying at this property, and we love it. My family keeps asking to return to this property. It is literally a home away from home. We buy groceries and cook food at home, as well as walk around to the local restaurants. The bus stop and subway stations are a short walk away, and it’s easy to get to Kyoto Station or Karasuma area. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Kyoto. They also offer a spa treatment that you can easily schedule online. It made our trip even extra relaxing. Can’t wait to return again!

This was a very neat and clean apartment hotel. The staff was very helpful and kind. The amenities were great and we enjoyed our stay there. Thank you!

Great location and great property for families. Really helpful at the front desk. Nice to have the space. Thoughtfully equipped and very warm in December.

Very friendly staff. Very spacious rooms making it great for families.

This place was a great find. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They received our luggage and had it waiting in our room for us when we arrived. This was more like an apartment, so we had 2 bedrooms, with 2 large beds in each room, that could be shut off from the main area. There was a living room, full kitchen, and dining area. It was nice to be able to do laundry also. This allowed us to not pack a lot of clothes for our trip. This is in more of a residence area, but subway, bus, and grocery store are all within walking distance. Staff was helpful with calling us a taxi when we needed it until we figured out how to use the Go Taxi app ourselves. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

The accommodation is in a quiet residential area close to the subway and other sites. The room was very clean and in good order. There are lots of notices in the room about being considerate by not talking loudly and quiet times from 9pm to 8am. However, we seemed to be the only ones observing this well intentioned instruction as other guest simply don’t. On our stay we were awoken or disturbed by the people above who clearly had kids running around upstairs and the room connected to ours a baby screaming! This was a pity because there was no road noise and everyone in Japan seems to be considerate. What doesn’t help is that the reception is on minimal hours, i.e only operate when you out site seeing! So when you want to ask them to speak with the noisy customers they are no where to be seen! We were expecting better than the experience we received given the price. Having to constantly ask for coffee sachets was another tedious task. We only wanted enough for 2 cups a day, but you had ask for refills! So nice place but not as good as we had expected:-(

Excellent stay, spacious and clean. Great place to stay for Kyoto. Not much to do around this area at night time but still overall excellent.

We loved our stay. Close to everything with lovely cafes, bakeries and restaurants. The property was so spacious and staff were helpful and friendly

This property is wonderful in every way possible. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. The location is convenient to transit, restaurants and convenience stores and the staff helpful and accommodating. This was best place we stayed in on our trip to Japan. You don’t need to read any more reviews - just book this and thank me later.

This place is an absolute gem!!! Tons of room, super quiet, close to train stations and lots of shops. It’s also very comfortable and clean. The staff are great!!!! Had an amazing time here!!

This hotel is amazing, everything was very clean, we drove from Tokyo to Kyoto and we got there after 6:00pm but we were able to self check in, the hotel was close to tourist attractions, shopping and dining, we truly enjoyed our stay there.

Hands down, the best place we stayed in Japan, over ~3-week trip. Absolutely wonderful. The fact that it's situated in a quiet residential area cannot be overstated - for those who need some sleep;) We didn't cook, but kitchen at this residence was the only place our of all we've stayed at, which would have allowed for it. Everywhere else, cooking would have been difficult (by western standards); here it would have been totally doable (plus, there are several grocery stores nearby). The only suggestion I'd have for the ladies is to have some light in the bedroom closets, they're a bit dark.

It was an awesome place to stay. Convenience, comfort, cleanliness and size.

Property was tucked into a neighborhood. Host was very welcoming and allowed us to check in early.

Good size apartment with all the amenities to make you feel at home. The reception team were really helpful in welcoming us on our first day and walked us through the local area map pointing out restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores and the local station. They also helped with receiving some packages that I ordered on Amazon and filled in all the forms for forwarding our luggage to Haneda Airport. Would definitely stay here again.

A cute little place . Super friendly staffs. Very easy access to any transportation. We enjoyed staying here . Renting a bike to explore area was fun .

Very nice place, spacious suits.

Was amazing much better than I expected very clean good location close to attractions and transport

Great place to stay. Easy to access from a subway station or nearby bus stops. In a very quiet neighbourhood. Staff very helpful. The apartment had everything you wanted for a short stay. It comfortably accommodated my wife and I and our daughter and 8 year old grandson. Lots of very helpful tourist advice as well.

Property was very clean and had all the amenities that we needed including a washing machine. Staff were very friendly and helpful for our stay.

Good location with several transportation options to main attractions. Unit was very clean except there was a stain on the duvet cover. Kitchen was well equipped and functional. Limited dining options within walking distance.

The property is so clean and accessible to the grocery store but most of all, close to Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. Special mention to Mickie who did a superb job in booking us a ride from Kyoto to Osaka. We were satisfied with Mickie with her excellent English. Thanks also to the driver who took us to Osaka. We did not have a hard time in communicating because of her superb English.

Our family loved our stay here. The room/apartment was clean and spacious. We were able to relax and cook in the kitchen, as well as do laundry. There are convenience stores nearby, so we can shop easily. There are also nearby train and bus stations for easy access to transportation. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location, exceptional staff. Perfect for a family stay.

A very nice basic property. The receptionist assisted us to book Xmas dinner at a restaurant for 8 people. We had 2 bedroom apartments; washing machine and clothes dryer was well used over our stay. Small kitchen with fridge and freezer. Easy walk to buses, trains or supermarkets (7eleven, lessons). Beds were comfortable. Nice quaint area, very quiet. Walking distance to Kyoto palace, public transport required for other tourist locations (but generally just a bus away (or bus & train). There were bicycles for rent at the hotel, we did not use them, Would recommend anyone wanting an apartment to stay here.

Almost everything was fantastic. From the kitchen, to rooms and the bathroom, everything was great. The rooms were gpod size, clean, well maintained and well equiped all round. It felt really a home away from home. The bathroom doubles as the clothes drying room too as the bathroom system has a heater/ventilation/dryer feature. Though I might still had preferred a dedicated clothes dryer machine, but the workflow still happen to suit me well and this was the first time in cold country where I can feel warm after a bath in winter. The staff were helpful too, able to provide us with baby high chairs etc. And were very polite. Maybe one issue was that the main hall's heater was not really strong enough to heat up the hall, kitchen and ensuite room. Convenience stores, supermarkets and train station were ard 10 minutes walk away (I was with a toddler). The surroundings was very peaceful. Highly recommended.

Staff was friendly. The apartment was very clean with everything we need. Spacious too with laundry basket, drying rack and room...

Excellent

We had a lovely stay at Kyoto Four sisters Residence. Their property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and easily accessible to busses and the Karsuma Line (Subway). We stayed at the one bedroom. Our unit has a washer (and uses the heating feature in the bathroom to hang our clothes to dry). The property is very well maintained and for longer term stay, you can even rent a rice cooker from them! Aya from the front desk was able to reserve a Kaiseki dinner for us at Tategami, Kyoto Style Japanese Restaurant. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. The waitress was able to explain each dish with limited English. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and will stay here again if we return to Kyoto in the future.

It was a great experience,would definitely come again next time!

This was perfect for my husband and I celebrating our anniversary. It was clean and quiet and very pretty. The location was great and the staff are excellent. We will definitely stay here again.

Very nice hotel. The room is very spacious and full well equipped kitchen, washing machine. It’s very clean. It’s located very near train station and bus stop. The supermarket is right nearby within walking distance . I would definitely recommend Kyoto Four Sisters Residence if you come to Kyoto.

This property was well maintained and very clean. Much bigger than any other property we have stayed at, with 2 rooms, living room and a kitchen area. They even had a camera for the door so that you can see who is at the door. Very happy with this stay and by far the favorite.

Very nice quiet location.

Loved the room size, amenities within and great location as a base for sightseeing in Kyoto. Close to rail station and bus network, and supermarkets all in short walking distance

Spacious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to metro station. Nijo castle and Manga museum nearby. Kitchen in apartment good - we stayed 4 nights and cooked for ourselves two nights.

We loved the quiet neighborhood and the staff was very helpful friendly!!

I really enjoyed how this property gives you a local vibe. I didn’t see many other foreigners in the area, it felt very local. The area felt safe and we had no problems checking in and checking out. The room has everything you need if you plan to stay for a long duration. They have a washer and you can dry your clothes either in the washroom or outside in the balcony. A kitchen and also very spacious bedroom, living room. I especially enjoyed their shower and tub which was very relaxing after a long walking day. One down side, its a little of a further walk from the nearest station.

Super clean and spacious. Also looks like recently renovated, so quite new.

10/10 would recommend!

I recommend this hotel. We had WIFI issues but it was resolved with high attention in a timely manner. They speak English so there was no communication problem. It was very clean and very specious. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was a surprise. We have never been to Kyoto and didn't know where to stay, but this hotel had friendly staff who helped with sending our luggage to Osaka (our next stop) and the apartment was very spacious with separate rooms and comfortable beds. The location was ideal, next to cafés, restaurants and public transit. Bus stops are nearby. The drying room in the bathroom took some time to figure out but after washing our clothes, the room dried our clothes perfecly. I wish we had these in the USA! I would stay here again.

We had a great time at Kyoto Four Sisters Residence! The location is close to bus and train transportation, which makes it easy to see lots of different places, from temples to the downtown shopping district. Room was spacious and we were able to borrow a rice cooker. We will be staying here whenever we visit Kyoto again. :)

Amazing customer service, staff in the front desk was so nice and help us a lot. Room was big a confortable. It has a big body massage chair, really convenient after long walks! In the top of that restaurants, temples near by.

Great place especially for longer stay. Location is good with subway and buses. Area is clean and quiet, and yet close to supermarkets and convenience stores etc. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time staying here. Love the quiet local neighborhood with restaurants and 24hr supermarket nearby. The place is very clean and design thoroughly. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a big group or family to stay.

Loved the space of the apartment, near Nijo Castle, everything needed within the apartment

Very clean place. Has everything needed for a stay with the family. Staff had a detailed pamphlet with attractions, transportation, grocery stores and services nearby. Beds are very comfortable. Clothes drying mechanism in bathroom is very smart. Overall our family was very happy.

Good place to stay, spacious. Rooms were clean. Very quiet. Good location. Ventilation could be bit better in rooms.

Our two bedrooms apartment was spacious and everything was perfect. It was my pre-birthday trip and the hotel had a special decoration for me, very thoughtful. The hotel is located in a very convenient place. When we went to and from Kyoto station with our luggages, we chose to take a taxi. The taxi fare from Kyoto station to the hotel was about 1600 yen which was very reasonable. Other time, we just took the metro which was 5 minutes away from the hotel. We had a very pleasant stay in the hotel. I will highly recommend the hotel to everyone who is going to Kyoto.

Quiet neighborhood. Great staff! Special mention to Yoshi - speaks great English and was very helpful. He made our trip back to the airport seamless despite leaving at 5am from the hotel. Another staff worth special mention is Moe- she was very nice and helpful too. Will recommend this place in a heartbeat.

Excelent choice for family or friends. The property doesn't have restaurant, however an excellent bakery & breakfast is near, "Shinshido".

This was an amazing place. Its a mixture between a hotel and a rental apartment. I loved it because it has the convenience of a hotel and gives you the feeling as if you are living in Kyoto like a local. The reception team was very friendly, nice and spoke very good English. I would most definitely come back to the place.

This was the perfect accommodation. The staff were welcoming, spoke English, and the room was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended.

We love that it has a home feel. We also like the little touches provided such as snacks and coffee, facial masks, sufficient towels. We did not like that the floorboards are not soundproof.

Counter service excellent . Polite and informative. Place is big and v comfortable

Great location, quiet with super helpful front desk staff Very comfortable beds and spacious room for 3-4 people. Good wifi. We’ll be back!

Beautiful, clean property, nicely decorated, very thoughtful and accommodating of guests. Good location. Nice to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel. Only negative was the pillows which didn't hold their shape or provide support. Otherwise a fantastic place to stay!

Great location (walking distance) for Nijo Palace and Imperial Palace, great local authentic restaurants and most of all very friendly and helpful staff. Short subway ride for Kyoto station and subway access is 4/5min walk from apartment.

Well equipped, in good condition, comfortable beds, helpful staff, nice neighbourhood. Best place we stayed In Japan

Excellent local information on restaurants, sight seeing and transport. Spacious and well equipped rooms.

Loved this place! Full two bedroom apartment with full kitchen and clothes washer. Very clean and helpful staff! If you don't mind taking the bus a few stops to the center of town, you can't beat this property! Exceptional value!

Spacious and well located for local buses. Useful amenities including washing machine. Provided with lots of free info about the local area.

This hotel is exceptional. A very modern, super clean and appointed room. Our room included two bedrooms, four beds, a full kitchen, living room, large bathroom, and washing machine - which we used. It felt like a top boutique hotel, very unique. English speaking at the front desk, very helpful as well. We loved our stay at this hotel. Highly recommend it.

We were shown to our room where all the amenities were explained. Having a washing machine and drying room was helpful. A number of maps were left to show where the points of interest were, as well as local supermarket. Coffee and pastries were available in the morning. Good location. Easy walk to Imperial Palace (closed on Monday) and Edo Castle. The temple trail was a bit further but still walkable.

This was a excellent hotel stay! It felt more like an apartment then a hotel. The staff was excellent and friendly. If we are ever back in Kyoto I would stay again!

Great space and facilities. Good location and very helpful. Extremely quiet.

Great hotel and very friendly staff. The staff spoke English and were always helpful. The washing machine and drying racks are very convenient. Just FYI there is no dryer so when doing laundry you need to plan accordingly.

Nice and new property, in a nice and quite area. The apartment was big for 4 person with 2 nice bedroom and small kitchen and livingroom perfekt for at family

The apartment was clean and very comfortable, the subway was just a couple of blocks away.

The location, size of room, little extras like cake and lollies in the foyer, coffee, not anything negative from our experience and staff very polite and friendly

Spacious property with living room and kitchen. Kitchen comes with utensils, cookware, fridge and also microwave. Suitable and convenient for family and long stay. Around 7 to 8 minutes walk to subway which can be bit tiring for elderly but overall we enjoyed the stay very much.

Great little hotel with everything very new and ultra modern. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apt which was well equipped and spacious complete with washer but no drier. Room serviced every 3 days but enough towels given to last between cleanings. Medium sized supermarket 5 minutrs walk away plus close to subway. Great attentive staff with good English. Recommended strongly.

This place was great! Especially for the cost. It was a full apartment with two bedrooms, three beds, a full kitchen, living room, large bathroom, and washing machine. Super close to bus to boot. Honestly, I could live here.

Everything was very nice, would definitely stay again with family.

Loved the location in a quiet residential area with good transport links, local restaurants and excellent supermarket. The reception team were great with excellent English and lots of helpful advice.

Clean, modern and spacious with comfortable beds in a super quiet location

Booked a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 adults and 2 kids and it was AMAZING! Had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen, rooms that can be closed off that made it easier to put the kids to bed and such lovely staff. In a quiet residential area but easy to get to all the areas of Kyoto using public transport. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment and were very happy with the accommodation. The apartment was clean and had all amenities promised. We did not have a view from the balcony but this is a small issue for us. The location was very good and only 7 mins walk from the subway. There were also 4 bus routes passing close by that let you reach a lot of the main attractions such as Nijo Castle, Kinkakuji Temple, Gion and Kiyomizumodera. The staff were very helpful and provided reataurant and supermarket advice and their level of Engliah was good. We would definitely stay here again in Kyoto

More dishes in the kitchen ,, Everything was wonderful
