Set just 2.5 km from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Zen Kyoto Apartment Hotel features accommodation in Kyoto with access to a terrace, a bar, as well as a concierge service. Complimentary WiFi is offered throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation offers a lift, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

Zen Kyoto Hotel and Apartment made our winter here super comfortable. The room is thoughtfully designed with everything you need for both short and longer stays. The kitchen is well equipped. Heating works well. There's a washing machine - there's no dryer but the bathroom has a dehumidifying clothes drying setting that dries your clothes in a few hours. Better than a dryer as it doesn't shrink your sweaters! The staff is lovely. The building is a short easy walk to the train station. Great value for money. We'd definitely stay again.

This stay was one of our favourites of our entire trip. The host was so generous and kind. Upon hearing of my partner's leg injury, she surprised us with a special tea to help promote healing. We loved the space and the attention to detail was fantastic. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. The host customized the breakfast based on a couple conversations we had. Everything was delicious, and we were even given a detailed list, in English, of everything she prepared for us. The breakfasts at this stay were a highlight of our entire trip to Japan. We will definitely try to stay here again when we're back in Kyoto!

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    Everything about the property was divine! The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a holiday home and all the appliances and fittings are new and great quality. My family stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments and it felt very spacious. The biggest bonus was having two toilets! Such a luxury! We loved the location which is close to Gion with lots of restaurant options and close to bus routes.
