Japenese style guest house
It’s a lovely japenese style guest house that gives you the full Nihong go experience. Not to far from Kyoto station and many little restaurants. It’s also very close to Nishihongwanji Temple which I think is beautiful and other temples. You’ve got a laundrymat at 7 mins by foot and a Presco (little supermarket). The staff was fabulous. Thank you for having me

More of a hostel
Helpful staff, good location, room was fine besides a really, I mean really carried light switch that we couldn't fine and had to sleep with it on. the walls are paper thin and everyone can hear everything. facilities are all communal. If you are okay with all that then this is a fine place.

It was the Best Stay through our 8 Days Trip
Perfect! It's perfect. You might need to walk about 10 - 15 minutes to a subway station but trust me, it really worth it. This small traditional building so well preserved, with Tatami rooms. Bathrooms are top notch, so clean and warm to linger. The only regret? We should have stayed longer. OH! Did I mentioned about the comic room?.... :)

Great Little Guesthouse
Fabulous place to stay. This is a bit more like a hostel with amenities like a washer with soap provided, a Japanese style bath and shared kitchen. Nice way to experience Japanese style living. There is also a small tatami mat manga room as well. Conveniently located near the Kyoto train station and on a bus line. Neighborhood is nice and quiet with restaurants and stores in walking distance.

スタッフの方はとても優しく、滞在期間中もずっと気にかけて頂きました。ただ、一つ言うならば毎朝、洗面台がびしょびしょ(多分複数の宿泊者が顔を洗われたため)でした。びしょびしょになった所に物は置けないので、簡易の台を設置されるようにした方がいいのでは、と思いました。それ以外はとても気に入りましたので、また利用させて頂きます。

スタッフの対応が最低でした
経営者なのか従業員なのかは定かではありませんが、このような方がサービス業に従事されているのは驚きました。経営者であれば、そういう経営スタイルを貫かれているのでしょうし、こちらは二度と予約もしないし周りにも勧めないだけですが、単なる従業員であるのならば、あのような失礼な従業員に給料を払い、宿の質を落とされ、経営者の方は本当に気の毒に思います。どうしてこんなに評価が高いのか疑問です。

京町家を改装した、懐かしさのある可愛いお宿
内装外装ともにとてもこだわりがあり、古いものを使っているので懐かしさを感じました。 水回りなどは新築なのでとても綺麗でした。 何よりスタッフの方がとても親切にしてくださり、観光名所への行き方を丁寧に教えてくださりました。 英語の喋れるスタッフの方なので外国人の方とも交流できました。 また、イベントも企画していらっしゃり、今回私は「流しそうめん」を体験することができました！人生初の体験を京都の古民家でできてとてもいい旅の思い出になりました。

Chambre d'hôtes accueillante
Petite guest house très accueillante, deux chambres traditionnelles avec nuits sur futon et un dortoir de 6 lits. Les voyageurs sont très respectueux donc pas de soucis de bruit. Cuisine possible même si le quartier est bien pourvu en restaurants. Adresse que nous recommandons chaleureusement

Niet geschikt voor stelletjes > 30 jaar.
Veel geluidoverlast in de twee ryokans voor stelletjes. De kamer is als door papier gescheiden van de common kamer , keuken en toiletten eromheen. Tot 23:00 wordt volop gepraat en tot diep in de nacht wordt gebruik gemaakt van toilet, bad en douches. De deur naar de toiletruimten rammelt gigantisch (en de Japanners, een prima volk) houden daarmee geen rekening in hun cultuur)
