โThe Shikitei is right on the edge of Nara Park - essentially it is in the park. In terms of position it couldn't be better.
It had all the comforts of a ryokan including a great onsen bath,, and wonderful staff.
I can't recommend it more highly.โ
โI really enjoyed my stay here in September. The staff were nice and helpful. Although they did not allow us to check in early, they did hold our luggage there until it was time. The hotel is very close to the Kyoto train station and other bus stops. The complimentary matcha, ice cream and noodles were great! We did buy the breakfast package which I enjoyed because it was one less thing I had to research. I wish I had stayed here my entire trip and taken trains to the other cities because it so...
"I proudly leave this review to say that this hotel offers incredibly kind service and impeccably clean facilitiesโso much so that words alone cannot do it justice. Iโve visited Japan many times, but I have never encountered such remarkable kindness and consideration from staff anywhere else in the country. Every single staff member, without exception, made a sincere effort to ensure guests felt as comfortable as possible. Their attitude and culture were so impressive that I found myself wondering what kind of leadership was behind it all. Thanks to these amazing people, our family had a truly joyful trip to Kyoto, and we are deeply grateful."
