I first I was nervous to go to a place where I didn't even have anyone who could tell me anything about it. Once I got there and the person doing the check in was Super friendly, patient, and helpful even with the things he didn't know cause he is from Osaka, as he mentioned when I asked about places in the area. Still he made efforts to make me feel welcome and comfortable. I definitely highly recommend this place. It's located in a good area where you can start your journey no matter where you want to go. Thank you so much for the warmth welcome

Very clean room and bathroom spaces. Nice neighborhood, quiet and apart from touristy areas of the city. Easy access to bus stops. The washing machine worked well but I had difficulty getting clothes to dry in dryer. No room trash emptying daily, but not too much of an issue.

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. Had everything we needed during our visit to Kyoto. The grocery at the end of the street was also great! We will stay again when we visit in the future.

Warm hospitality

We were a group of 3: a couple in our 80s travelling with our daughter .It had a very friendly atmosphere and was an enjoyable stay and we would advise our friends to stay there but a bit far from the main bus routes for oldies like us!

Comfy hotel close to Nijojo castle

This hotel was a breathe of fresh air whilst travelling in Japan. The rooms were spacious and the beds were really comfortable. They also serve a light continental breakfast which was a welcome change! The staff were friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There’s even a washing machine to wash your clothes.
Hotel is one bus from Kyoto station and it’s easy to get around the city.
We will definitely stay again if we are in Kyoto

Great little guesthouse

A great little guesthouse - small and friendly. In a great location - just a couple of minutes from bus stop and close to ninjijo castle . Basic breakfast of pastries, yoghurt and fruit. Use of fridge and freezer very useful - you could also use the kitchen to cook meals but we didn’t do this.

Bulls-eye, modern and convenient

Right in the centre of things of interest in Kyoto, we were able to walk or ride a bus everywhere. The guesthouse was brand new, and rather un-noticeable from outside. The room was as advertised size-wise and with insufficient facilities for a longer stay. The beds were really comfortable and we had very good sleep the whole 5 nights, and the bathroom exceeded expectations, very Japanese, high tech, functional and proportionally seemed more spacious than the room. The hostess was very helpful speaking a really good English, German, Chinese, and Japanese. Would not think twice coming back.

New, neat and comfortable place to stay i Kyoto

Lodging in Kyoto is expensive, and this guesthouse was the most we spent on any hotel during our 10-day stay in Japan. This place was, however reasonable by Kyoto standards. The location is in a quiet side street in an upscale part of town - about 20 minutes by a city bus from the train station, and just 3-4 minutes walk from the bus stop. The hostess speaks fluent English and German. The room was well equipped and maintained. The mattress was comfortable and the comforter and pillow perfect by my standard.
They have a kitchenette in the lobby and you can leave food you buy in their refrigerator. We left for sightseeing before the simple breakfast was served in the AM’s - so I can’t comment on that. We would certainly stay here again!

Het guesthouse biedt veel zelfstandigheid: central keuken met gelegenheid om zelf te koken of eten op te warmen en in te zitten. Rustige buurt.
Met buslijn 9 goed bereikbaar vanuit station Kyoto. Ligt vlakbij het kasteel. Bushaltes voor diverse richtingen vlakbij. 3 supermarkten in de direkte omgeving. Uitstekend geschikt voor soloreizigers. Betaalbaar.

Hôtel très bien placé, avec des chambres confortables, il n’y a pas de personnel sur place et mon arrivée n’avait pas été correctement préparée (et ce du le cas pour une dame et sa fille 2 jours plus tard).
Je recommande cet établissement mais vérifiez bien qu’ils vous ont envoyé le numéro de la boîte à clef et le code.

En recepción nunca hubo nadie sin embargo escribí por Mensaje privado y respondieron inmediatamente y atendieron mis peticiones, no realizaron la limpieza en todos los días que estuvimos ahi, tenía lavadora general y es buena opción, la ubicación no es la mejor, el metro mas cercano estaba a 15-17 mins caminando
