Safe, quiet, clean, homely. Good enough for me. One thing to know is that there’s no elevator, so beware for those with big luggages.

Room was clean but a little smelly? If you're a medium-large to large human, the bathroom and shower are gonna be cramped. The stairs to the second floor are incredibly steep and shallow and scary when carrying a suitcase.

Absolutely perfect. I needed a quick one night stay, walking distance from Kyoto Station and it had everything I needed. The room is small but no bigger than it needs to be when you just want a bed to fall asleep on after a long journey.

The owner met me at the door, welcomed me in, gave me a tour and was generally very helpful and friendly. I'd definitely stay again.

Kitchenette shown in pictures is a shared one and not particularly clean.
Room so small that suitcases would need to be stored outside of room when futons deployed,
Bathroom tiny cubicle in corner,
Room facilities quoted on tiny table at floor level in corner and not very useable.
No clothing storage.
Air conditioning did not work.
To sum up totally uninhabitable for a couple.
Checked out after five minutes in room and lost my money.

The accommodation and staff were pleasant enough, however the level of comfort and facilities appeared overpriced compared to our accommodation at other locations.

Convenient

Location was ok, about 10 min away from Kyoto Station. Not so much to do there at night, but there's 7-eleven nearby which proved very convenient.

Everything was very clean. Room size was ok but the bathroom was a bit small.

There's not much interaction between guests, and one should keep quiet at night.

The owner was very nice. Overall, it was a good experience.
