Very clean room and bathroom spaces. Nice neighborhood, quiet and apart from touristy areas of the city. Easy access to bus stops. The washing machine worked well but I had difficulty getting clothes to dry in dryer. No room trash emptying daily, but not too much of an issue.

Nice stay, but bad service

Good and comfortable beds. Clean. Located in a quiet and charming neighbourhood. Okay location, close to two bus stops. There is a washing machine there, free to use, but it broke down when we tried to use it. It was a big inconvenience for us, and we did not receive any help when we asked for it

New, neat and comfortable place to stay i Kyoto

Lodging in Kyoto is expensive, and this guesthouse was the most we spent on any hotel during our 10-day stay in Japan. This place was, however reasonable by Kyoto standards. The location is in a quiet side street in an upscale part of town - about 20 minutes by a city bus from the train station, and just 3-4 minutes walk from the bus stop. The hostess speaks fluent English and German. The room was well equipped and maintained. The mattress was comfortable and the comforter and pillow perfect by my standard. They have a kitchenette in the lobby and you can leave food you buy in their refrigerator. We left for sightseeing before the simple breakfast was served in the AM’s - so I can’t comment on that. We would certainly stay here again!

Hôtel très bien placé, avec des chambres confortables, il n’y a pas de personnel sur place et mon arrivée n’avait pas été correctement préparée (et ce du le cas pour une dame et sa fille 2 jours plus tard). Je recommande cet établissement mais vérifiez bien qu’ils vous ont envoyé le numéro de la boîte à clef et le code.

Me encantó la estancia en esta casa de huéspedes por las instalaciones y su ubicación en una zona súper tranquila. La habitación es amplia y muy limpia, además el colchón de la cama estaba súper suave y esponjoso. Está a unos 15 minutos caminando del parque que rodea el Kyoto Imperial Palace, muy recomendable para caminar y relajarse. Ya que es una casa de huéspedes, la comunicación e información que te dan antes de la estancia es más casual que con un hotel. Y fue muy agradable saber que algunos de los anfitriones hablaban español. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme aquí. Fue parte de lo que hizo mi experiencia en Kyoto tan bonita.
