Definitely need to be more clear that you need to check in at a different building to where you will be staying. Luckily people passing by who spoke great English helped me.
I didnโt expect that quality, because it was very budget friendly too, but it was really like a Ryokan. There is also a temple that called Higashihongan-ji, and is famous, moreover itโs only 10 min away from the Kyoto station as you can see the tower.
It was different as it is a liitle of old japan and would suit younger people

Great place, near public transport and bullet train from Tokyo. Only downside was that when we checked into the hotel, we were moved into a different one that was not advertised on here. Not as nice and had an odour to it.
This one was a little hard to find - the lobby - check in is in a little different area of where we are staying.. the directions gave the location to the building but the lobby was in a different location. Had to ask a guy for help.. the lobby was about 2-3 short blocks from the building. But the locals were very nice. they knew the place and helped us out. Rooms were nice - service was nice.. just a little confusing to find the lobby at first.
We had a pleasant stay at Ikoi-no-ie, which is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the metro station. We booked a room with a private bathroom, which was very convenient. The area is quiet, with a restaurant just around the corner and a shared dining room available for use.
One thing to note is that check-in and the front desk are in a separate building about a 3-minute walk away, so if you're arriving with large suitcases, be prepared to go back and forth. Additionally, the rooms are on the second floor with steep stairs, which might be challenging if you have heavy luggage.
Other than that, the Japanese-style room was very nice and clean. The hotel staff was helpful and welcoming, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. Overall, a great stay with a few logistical points to keep in mind!
Our room No 18 had a strong and very uncomfortable smell. It was beside the shower and all doors bump! People showering at midnight was disturbing our rest.
The room was totally undecorated. No pictures at all, just blank walls.

Reasonable stay with reception in different place
Japanese style room was okay! It is located on a quiet residential area about 15 min walk from Kyoto central station. The reception was at a different place (next street) - you need to goto this place for checkin formalities. This was mentioned in the instructions email, nevertheless it was not convenient. Bathroom taps were old and not that handy. To get the desired temperature of hot+cold water, some amount of maneuvering is needed!
The room I stayed in was exactly what I was expecting. Traditional Japanese vibes, comfy futon, I even had a sliding door to get a view of the outside. Some reviews complained about a strong smell, and while I could smell the tatami mats, it wasn't a bad smell by any means. The house was very quiet too, which was nice to sleep in. My only real complaint is about a couple of locals who stayed in the house on my last two nights. They would talk very loudly and would stomp around and slam doors/other things late at night. That's an issue with those people though, and not with the room or the house.
For those looking to stay, just keep in mind that you're basically staying in a dorm. You might get some unpleasant people staying in the same building, but other than that, it's a nice, cheap option to stay in Kyoto.
