“Smile Hotel Kyoto Shijo is an older, budget-conscious option in a central location, accessible by subway. While the rooms lean toward a dated, traditional Japanese aesthetic, the staff's attentiveness stands out. For travelers prioritizing value and proximity to Kyoto's attractions over modern amenities, this hotel presents a viable choice.”
