It was great to have a non- hotel experience on our trip to Japan. The property was a 7 min walk from the subway, quiet, and had everything or family needed.
It's clean and quiet. Good location. Convenience and grocery store within walking distance. Served my family of 4 perfectly.

Quiet Kyoto Neighbourhood Gem
Four Sisters is a very well-run apartment hotel located in a quiet Kyoto neighbourhood.
There are lots of good quality bars restaurants, cafes bakeries combinis supermarkets etc all within a five-minute walk.
It's only a short walk to public transport which means the amazing sights of Kyoto are readily accessible.
We stayed a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor that was very clean and spacious and well appointed.
My family of two adults and two kids really enjoyed our five-night stay at Four Sisters and would love to stay there again.

Super clean and the front desk can speak English well. The place is big and beautiful, for a group of 4, you have plenty of space. It feels like you’re at home. It has a kitchen, dining and living room. I highly recommend this place.
