This place is a very old traditional house. It’s really unique. I couldn’t fault it. Maybe the only thing I would say was it was a little hot in the room. But I guess this is Japanese summer. Our room was on top floor with high ceiling. So it couldn’t be helped. The price is excellent, it’s clean and traditional. What more could you want?

Pleasant stay in traditional Japanese house
The owner is a great guy. We had a good chat about music and about japanese culture and life in general. He is a very good host.

Nice traditional guesthouse
Very quirky and traditional but only one shower and not enough toilets for guests, also very small kitchen. Good location, a short walk from downtown and the subway.

Not recommend, poor staff attitude, strict policy
Good to talk to other guests in the hostel, a traditional Japanese-styled house. However, check out policy is strict and staffs are rude. You will be kicked out of the hostel right after 10am. Make sure you choose the right number of guests when booking on Expedia, otherwise they would charge extra even the same room for 1 person or 2 persons are having same price online.

貼心的民宿主人
環境清幽，去錦市場很方便，再走出去就是熱鬧的四条。 到京都的那晚因下雨球鞋濕了，隔天早上發現鞋子放在門口曬太陽，是很貼心的民宿主人，有注意到小細節。

When I was doing booking, I missed the information that tax is not included in the price. So, I am quite shocked when i got to pay an extra of 200 yen per person per day. But that is fine, because it is my mistake. Remember not to check-in later than 9 pm, there will be an expensive late charge. The staff is very nice and helpful, he can speak english so well. The decorations in house are beautiful, but the bedclothes didn’t seem to be clean. To conclude, it is quite a good choice when you want a cheap accommodation.

Thank you for staying. Please contact Kyoto City if you want to understand accommodation tax. In addition, bedding is dried every day and changed to new sheets. It is a pity that you did not feel clean. We will improve better in the future. Thank you

Gut aber überfüllt
Wunderschönes Guesthouse i. Zentraler lage. Der schlafplatz ist nur zu klein. Ich hatte ein privatzimmer ABER die wände habem den Raum nicht ganz abgeschlossen sodass mann die ganze Nachte schnarchende Menschen gehört. Ich musste auch das licht Ausmaschen weil dies ansonsten ins nebenraum leuchten würde.

2回目の宿泊
また徒歩圏内のライブに利用。同室の人たちが静かで、安眠できた。行きの夜行バスで疲労困ぱい、寝て起きてチェックアウトだったのが心残り。京都好きなのは、家庭的な宿泊先の影響が大きい。また、一泊の際はお世話になります。

Taikyoya is a very pleasant small guesthouse/hostel in a traditional Kyoto house. There are only a few rooms, which gives a very family like atmosphere. We had the large traditional japanese room on the second floor with a nice window view over the tiny garden and very nice room decorations. The only unconvenience is that the shared toilets and showers are on the first floor and that the stairs are very steep and narrow. On the other hand, these facilities and especially the bath, was really beautiful and clean. Good place and very nice experience!

町屋の醍醐味
寝床やキッチン水回り等、きれいで快適。玄関のしつらえも勉強になります。リビングに京都関連の書籍があり、ひとりでも退屈しません。 ライブハウス目的で泊まり、その興奮覚めやらぬまま、朝まで寝付けず。次も一泊ならば泊まりたいです。

飲食店の多い通りに面していて便利だと思いました。
長屋特有の奥に細く続く造りで、お手洗いやお風呂に移動するのは少し手間がかかります。階段が急なので、慣れるまでは移動が怖いかもしれません。それでもこちらにお世話になれて良かったです。オーナーさんがお客さん同士の縁を繋げようと、親しみやすく話しかけてくれるのが印象的でした。いたるところにトルコランプが飾られているのも素敵です。

京町家のゲストハウス
京都らしい町屋のゲストハウスです。キッチンに電子レンジや一通りの調理器具が揃っています。坪庭がありお風呂場からも眺められます。シャワーは混みますし、ドライヤーの利用時間帯が決まっていますが、歩いて15分程度の錦湯を利用すれば快適です。

Nadeel van het hotel is dat de muren niet tot aan het plafond lopen en het dus heel erg gehorig is. Ook als je een eigen kamer hebt is de privacy beperkt.
