#6 of 9 hotels in Karasuma & Shijo by Axel's take. Karasuma & Shijo is #3 of 7 places to stay in Kyoto. The best hotels in Karasuma & Shijo, ranked · Where to stay in Kyoto

Axel's take: 8.8/10

Generous rooms and thoughtful service make this old-school Kyoto hotel a strong choice. a traditional, full-service 4-star in central Kyoto, scored for what it is.

Nikko Princess Kyoto is a traditional, full-service 4-star near Shijo Station, and a strong pick if room space and attentive service matter more than fashionable design. Tripadvisor, Booking.com and Expedia guests consistently praise the large rooms, cleanliness and helpful staff; recent Ikyu reviews reinforce that picture. The walkable setting works well for Nishiki Market, shopping and restaurants, while the spacious bathrooms and well-liked breakfast add comfort to a sightseeing stay.

The main compromise is the old-school decor: guests still describe some interiors as dated, though generally well maintained. The hotel says its Executive Floor renovation was completed in March 2025, making that category worth considering if freshness matters. Breakfast and parking cost extra unless included. We'd choose it for comfortable, service-led city stays, but skip it if contemporary boutique style is the priority.

  • Best for: couples who prefer spacious rooms; families wanting a central sightseeing base; travelers who value attentive service

  • Watch out for: dated decor in some room categories; breakfast and parking may cost extra; scheduled closure February 8–9, 2027

  • Location: Near Shijo Station, with Nishiki Market, shops and restaurants within walking distance.

  • Rooms: Generous room sizes and bathrooms; Executive Floor refurbishment completed in March 2025.

  • Cleanliness: Strong ratings across major sites; recent guests overwhelmingly describe clean, well-kept rooms.

  • Service: Helpful, courteous staff are a repeated strength across international and Japanese guest reviews.

  • Amenities: Several restaurants, a bar, free Wi-Fi and a well-reviewed breakfast.

  • Fees and surprises: Accommodation tax is payable locally; breakfast and parking may be extra; electrical inspection closure scheduled February 8–9, 2027.
