Perfect for the price.

It's cheap for a reason, but it gets the job done. No problems with anything, but no frills. More space in the room than expected.

ここは簡易宿泊所です。部屋が狭い、壁が薄い、共用シャワーがユニットバスで脱衣場もないなど快適とはいえないですが、安く寝るための場所が欲しいだけだったので問題ない。駅からのアクセスも悪くないし、近くにコンビニもある。

皆さんの評価をみて不安でしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。 チェックインの時間が遅くなる事を伝えても､嫌な雰囲気を出さず対応いただき､スムーズなチェックインが出来ました。 また､布団のリクエストも聞いていただき、部屋も清潔感が有り、夜の音もさほど気ならなず就寝しました。助かりました。 また次回も利用しようと思います。 お世話になりました。 翌日の荷物預かりも快くして頂き

三畳間のホステルです

値段あたいです。快適さを求めるならお金を出しましょう。 駅に近いのが宿泊の決め手でした。 狭いユニットバス２つとトイレと洗面所があります。 遮音性はありません。 番号入力のオートロックオートロックなので外部からの 防犯は安全だと思います。

Ci penserei bene prima di sceglierlo

Futon non pulito, precedenti ospiti avevano usato apparecchi tagliabarba. Assenza di personale poliglotta come dichiarato (solo giapponese). Scale ripide, assenza di ascensore. Stanza singola piccolissima (una volta aperto il futon non c'era spazio neanche per la valigia).

安くて気楽な宿

応対してくださった方はきさくな方でよかったです。夜寝るときに電気を消したら真っ暗になったので、 小さな照明があると助かります。テレビがなかったのは、料金が安いからですよね。それはそれでいいです。ゆっくり寝られました。

Nice and clean guesthouse

The staff at the guesthouse were great to help with any questions. This guesthouse it a bit different than most others in that it doesn’t have a lounge area to hang out and meet other guests. The location is very convenient for the train station and local attractions.

Wonderful small hotel in a great location in Kyoto

We loved this place! Very small and quaint, maybe about 8 rooms total? The place was very clean - almost immaculate. The staff was wonderful. It has everything you need in Kyoto, including being very close to Kyoto station! Would 100% stay again. Thanks!

清潔な和室

清潔な畳のお部屋でした。共用でしたがシャワーも問題なく使えて良かったです。Wi-Fiが使えたのも助かりました。歯ブラシと寝巻きがあるとなおよかったかも。
