Second time staying here in two years. Came here in 2024 for my first visit to Kyoto. Was so amazing I came back again. It did not disappoint once again.
One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed in. Facilities, staff, food and cleanliness were all excellent.
English speaking staff were very helpful and polite.
Had breakfast one morning and was amazing. Coffee multiple mornings which were always perfect.
Multiple shared bathrooms and showers on each floor that were always so clean that it felt brand new.
Both the cafe downstairs and common area upstairs had amazing facilities and were always a great spot to hangout and relax.
2 minute walk from a bus station and 5 minute walk from a 711.
Many restaurants nearby that were fantastic as we tried may. KéFU Stay will also give you recommendations to nearby locations.

Only negative of our stay and mostly unique to our room as this is out of the staffs control. We were in room 205 next to the laundry facilities. They have notices for people to not use them between 10pm and 6am to not disrupt patrons. Unfortunately many people in multiple nights disregarded these condition and would use the laundry facilities until 1am and as early as 5am. Only mentioning as it did affect our sleep very much, so when you look to book here I would recommend requesting to not be next to the laundry as other patrons will potentially disregard any care for you sleep.

Disregarding the negative above. Highly recommend and will be back!

Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel provided welcome drinks. Thank you for the free self service drip coffee and board games in the communal kitchen that we enjoyed as a family.

Kefu Stay and Lounge is a compact boutique hotel. As long as you check in before 9 pm the office is attended by two very nice young people who serve a lovely choice of breakfast and lunch at very reasonable prices. All amenities are in the true clean Japanese style with attention to detail. Our room had a hand basin. The individual shower and other individual toilet were next door in the corridor and were lockable. Recommend.

L'hôtel est magnifique et le personnel est super accueillant. Nous n'avons pas manger au restaurant de l'hôtel mais les plats avaient l'aire délicieux. Il y a une belle cuisine communautaire propre et bien équipé.

Nous avions choisie cette hôtel pour son emplacement, à 20 minutes de marche du Golden temple et 30 min de marche du Château Ninjo jo et du palais impérial.

Il y a de grosse épicerie proche et différent magasin et restaurant.

C'est un secteur beaucoup plus tranquille et beaucoup moins achalandée. Ce que nous avons apprécier.
