Reviews of Ibis Styles Kyoto Shijo (Kyoto)
Heath Wiggins
An okay place to spend a few days. A bit far from the main areas of downtown Kyoto but lots of transport options within a 5 minute walk.

However, I am writing this review to commend the staff who went above and beyond to find my wife's green stone necklace ...
