COMFORT INN KYOTO SHIJOKARASUMA, Kyoto

The hotel sits 600 meters from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall and less than 1 kilometer from Kyoto International Manga Museum. Shijo subway station and Karasuma station are each a 5-minute walk from the hotel entrance. Nishiki Market, Gion district, and the main shopping street are within a 10- to 20-minute walk.

The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage, safe deposit boxes, and private check-in/check-out. Guests have access to coin-operated laundry machines, a vending machine, and a lobby lounge with fresh-brewed coffee and lemon-infused water. Daily housekeeping, fax/photocopying services, and trouser press are available.

Each air-conditioned room includes a flat-screen TV, safety deposit box, and soundproof walls. Twin rooms offer two super single beds that cannot be joined due to a fixed side table, as noted by guests. Rooms come with pajamas, slippers, tea/coffee amenities, and a desk-bench setup for spreading out.

A daily buffet breakfast with a Japanese-style spread is served in the downstairs breakfast room. The breakfast room later opens to guests who want to dine in with their own supplies from nearby supermarkets. Complimentary coffee, tea, and water are available from 2pm to midnight in the lobby.

The hotel offers a free onsen (public bath) for guests, with separate male and female facilities. A leg massager is placed outside the onsen area for guest use after long walks. The property is non-smoking with designated smoking areas and provides 24-hour security with CCTV.
