Hotel Sasarindou

This place should be your choice. What a location, and a comfortable hotel. We had a tour, and as we walked by our guide mentioned the great location of the hotel. She was impressed it was ours.
Top recommendation!

Great quirky hotel

Excelente ubicación, personal muy amable, buena relación calidad-precio, habitación grande.

What a great location! Only issue was the language barrier, but comfortable, reasonably nice sized rooms. This is a great hotel to choose in Kyoto!

This is a quirky unique hotel in a fantastic location. Quiet street in a busy area.

The place is very clean and the room was huge by Japanese standards. Great bathroom. I don’t think the hotel has been updated in 30 years. It’s kind of cool— a throwback to an earlier era. Vintage. But takes some getting used to.

Free breakfast didn’t appeal to us. We skipped it.

One complaint is that the windows lacked blackout blinds. If you are light sensitive, you will want an eye mask.

はじめて利用しました。腰痛のため、セパレートタイプのお風呂を希望していましたので、広くてゆっくり入れたのはよかったです。手すりがあれば文句なしでした。
朝食もおいしくいただきました。

Way better than I expected! The one bedroom had a whole shower room with bath and separate toilet+ a shoe room! We had a large window that let in plenty of light and the bed was comfortable. 10/10 stay!

nice breakfast. you will feel very relaxed here, with plenty of room

Hoewel dit waarschijnlijk ooit een prachtig hotel was, is er weinig aan onderhoud gedaan. Het is erg outdated, verschillende dingen in de kamer werken niet meer en je ziet dat het oud is. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en de kamers uitermate groot. Het ontbijt is 100% Japanse stijl, als je daar niet van houdt moet je echt naar een van de koffiebars in de straat.

Quirky hotel on a beautiful, quiet side street. The location is excellent being close to the historic streets of Gion, bus stops and main roads/shopping districts and yet despite all the nearby hustle and bustle, as soon as you turn into the road that the hotel entrance is on you enter an oasis and calm and quiet.

We visited during the Gion Matsuri period and everything was within easy walking distance. Excellent nearby restaurants.

Breakfast is Japanese style and was plentiful, well organised and tasty. Be aware that there are no alternative breakfast options.

Our room was probably the biggest hotel room I have ever had in Japan. It felt a little dated but was perfectly clean and comfortable so don't let that put you off. I would happily stay here again. The bathroom was a Japanese wet room style with the shower before the bath. Works just fine but is worth noting for the benefit of western visitors.

Very clean, quiet location in the Gion district that is close to everything. Nice rooms with amenities and friendly helpful staff.

The location is very convenient to everywhere and it’s the reason I recommend this hotel. The space of room is pretty big with a bathtub and shower room. Breakfast is traditional Japaneses style. There is a coffee area serving hot and ice coffee after 3pm. I wish there is a work table and chair so I can work in my room.

I have stayed at Sasarindou a number of times over the last 10 years, and was really surprised to see the poor condition this time. Part of what I like about Sasarindou is the retro charm, but now it seems like even minor repairs are not being made to keep the hotel in livable condition, which is a shame because the staff is WONDERFUL. We had tape covering areas needing repair, bleach stains on the carpet, a dirty cover on our couch and a large rip in our curtain. There were large cracks in the walls around the property. The mattress was also extremely uncomfortable and worn out. Our room smelled of old cigarette smoke and our friend’s room on the first floor smelled damp and “green” if that makes any sense- as if moss or algae was growing in it. Although the rooms seemed clean, I felt too uncomfortable to use the shower or leave my clothing on the surfaces.

A side note but relevant- I brought my friend, who has cancer, on this trip. Our itinerary shifted by two days due to her treatment schedule changing. Although I booked nonrefundable rooms, I figured they would be willing to shift our booking since we were keeping the same number of nights. They declined. In the end, despite losing the money for 2 nights for 2 rooms AND paying to stay elsewhere, I am glad because after the first night we were more than happy to move to a different hotel anyway due to the poor condition. I hope they fix up this hotel because it was a real gem in a very nice location.

Location is ideal - right off train station, next to harbor (for those taking a cruise), near major attractions, restaurants, and shopping. It is also very safe and quiet, even at all hours of the day and night. We would definitely stay there again!!

Muy bonito el barrio solo el hotel está un poco antiguo y hay mobiliario que necesita ser cambiado

Super convenient and walkable location! You’re so close to so many fun things, but far enough for it to be quiet. The location was super clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The traditional Japanese breakfast was a huge plus!

祇園の真ん中で非常に動きやすい。
元々ラブホテルを改装したホテルではあるが
使いやすかった。
音は響く気もするが、寝泊まりするだけなので料金も安いので。
また利用したい。

Je suis satisfaite du rapport qualité prix.

Mooi. Ontbijt is echt niet interessant.
Anders alles prima!
Grote kamers.
