Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
enjoyed the interaction of guest house culture, its quite surprised to charge all amenities. The location was excellent which was only 3 - 4 mins to JR kyoto station. Cleanliness was good. The only thing need to improve is- the full english name from expedia was different/ unclear from the name plated signal at the entrance, it took me another 10 mins to figure out the hotel location. Anyways its a good experience to stay at guest house in kyoto

Traditional Guest House
The guest house seemed very traditional and I really wanted that experience. The bed was not as comfortable as most hotels, but I was able to sleep fine. It was very clean and nice. I would recommend staying here!

Good location, good facilities, and good owner
The place was very nice and actually pretty new according to the owner. The owner was also a very nice guy. The room I stayed in and all the facilities were very clean and nice. The location was also super convenient being so close to Kyoto station. Definitely would recommend to anyone going to Kyoto.

Awesome, Traditional, Conveniently near Trains
Probably my favorite stay throughout my 10 days stay. This place is very homely and has a really nice japanese feel to it. I would call it a modern Ryokan? The decorations are very traditional, and the whole place has a lovely natural wood scent. The host is a very easy going person, and the check in process is also extremely easy going. Would have wanted to stay an extra night if they had availability :(
