Very clean property with an attentive staff. Location was great with easy access via walking or bus to many of Kyoto's great attractions. Only issue came with an addition cleaning fee and tax that was assessed. Manager was open to negotiation on this issue, as we were only warned about the tax on Travelocity.

Thank you very much for staying with us at Marikoji Inn Kyoto. Yes, the Kyoto Government have implemented a new accommodation tax, and our partners have us charge it at checkin rather than in advance for certain prepaid reservations. Please come back and stay with us again! Wishing you all the best ! Marikoji Inn Kyoto

The place was tasteful and had everything I needed. In particular there was a microwave oven in the room which I really appreciated. The hosts were super-nice. One the best places I have stayed in Japan over the past 30 years

This is a very small inn and apparently we stayed in their biggest room. I loved our stay at Marikoji. The hosts are amazing and speak English very well. They have been very helpful with answers to our questions. I loved the access to the small and private zen garden. The room layout is a little unusual for North America, but from my narrow experience quite common for Japan. After staying in an apartment in Tokyo, staying in a traditional Japanese inn but with all the comfort has been an amazing experience.

Friendly, Quiet, and Convenient!
My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Marikoji Inn and had a wonderful stay! Check-in - Quick and easy. The Room - We booked the Kinkakuji suite, which was set up for 4 people since that was the default with the website we booked, but the owner quickly put away the extra beddings. This room was more than enough space for the 2 of us and could comfortably fit 4. The room was quiet and clean with plenty of toiletries and towels. The zen garden was peaceful and soothing. The inn only has a few rooms and the walls are thin, which makes for a quiet and respectful environment. The shower pressure in our room was a little soft as compared to our norm, but this led us to draw hot baths, which is actually much more relaxing! Location - The owner gave us a local map of nearby shops and restaurants. It's a short walk to the train station and bus stops that will get you anywhere you need to be. Walking distance to plenty of good food and shops, and a few temples/shrines. Service - Outstanding! The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and give us ideas of what to eat and where to go. My wife mentioned that she wanted to get her hair cut and the owner was kind enough to walk with us to a local salon to introduce us to the stylist and interpret the details of the haircut. We also mentioned that we were interested in visiting shrines and temples to collect omamori (amulets) and she suggested some nearby shrines and temples that we could visit. Recommended!

普通の一軒家を部屋単位で借りられるようにしてあるタイプです。 今回は3ベッドの部屋でした。 他の部屋の音、声、生活音が良く通ってきます。 気になる人は落ち着かないと思います。 部屋に付いているトイレはとても小さいので、 大柄な男性は苦労すると思います。 部屋はとても清潔にされており、使いやすかったです。 Wi-Fi速度、日常用途レベルのネット利用でしたがとても快適でした。

周辺は静か。夜道は暗いところが多いのは、京都の特徴なのだろうか（街灯が少ない）。食べる場所には困らず。受験期に利用したいと思いましたが、残念。既に予約は埋まってました。

早速ご感想をお寄せいただきましてありがとうございます。確かに京都の街が暗いのは電光掲示板などの規制が京都は厳しいと聞いております。受験期のご予約ですが、センター試験後に空きが出る可能性がありますのでその頃にお問い合わせをいただければと存じます。またのご利用を心よりお待ち申し上げます。

INNなのでしかたないですね。でも親切でした。
とっても親切にしてくださいました。ありがとうございます。 インなのでしかたないことですが不満としては、 部屋～フロントとの電話がほしい、といってもフロントはほとんど留守ですが。 部屋にテレビくらいはほしい。観光目的であってもニュースくらいは見たいでしょう。
