The room was very spacious, which in Japan is not a given, and it had a washing machine which was great as we were half-way through our two-week trip. The location is great for Gion attractions and quiet, with a great ramen place opposite where we ate twice a great lunch to keep us going.

Quiet, large room, close to transport and a short walk to all the great food spots in Pontocho alley and Nishiki Market. Can also walk to Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomisu-Dera. Room had a washing machine but no dryer, there was however a drying rack. Would stay here again. Staff helped us with transferring our luggage and were always helpful.

When I booked our room I didn't realize that all the rooms have a kitchenette so upon arrival we were so happy to see our room and its amenities. Not sure if all are similar in size, but it was large - a nice change to the typical smaller hotel rooms. The front desk people were friendly and super helpful. The owner helped us figure out a challenging luggage transfer service that we needed. We are so appreciative of her time in doing so. The location is great. Close to major shrines and the Gion district. We walked everywhere! Thank you West Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu Hotel for a wonderful stay.

This was a very central location to be based. Literally a few metres from a main area with lots of food and restaurant choices, 5-10 mins walk to the Geisha area, and about a 10 minutes walk to Kymiozu temple and a shopping street offering further food and restaurant choices as well as souvenirs. There were local buses available all along the street from the hotel and everywhere was easily accessed.
The hotel itself was clean and beds were very comfortable.
Would recommend it as an ideal location to be based for a visit to Kyoto.

Super clean and incredibly comfortable, this hotel is a gem! The apartment setup—complete with a kitchen, laundry, and separate toilet/shower/vanity—was fantastic, allowing us to move around independently without crowding each other. Its location is perfect, within walking distance of the famous Geisha district, Nikishi Marke

West Japan made a wonderful stay in Kyoto. If you’re staying long term, this is the place. The room itself came with all the amenities, including a full kitchen and the area was a 10 minute walk to Gion and other popular areas. The only con is I would say it is far from a train station, but most things were walkable or a taxi ride away.

Near the Kiyomizu-dera ...on the main path that leads to the temples
One block from bus stops and easy and fast to get a taxi
I mostly walked , because Kyoto is very flat and has lovely pedestrian paths all over the city
Great simple dining options nearby
Having a full kitchen allowed me to eat in a lot
A good family market was 2 blocks away
The washer in the unit was great to get rid of my dirty clothes

We weren’t told that we will be checking in at a different location, which was the entire home. I didn’t mind this but I wish we were told in advance as we were traveling multiple luggages with children.

The condition of the house was good, although stairs were dusty. I didn’t bring this up as we were out most of the time.

It was a nice stay if you want to stay somewhere traditional. We stayed for one night ant the guest house and we wanted the experience. The place didn’t feel clean. We saw French fries and napkins on the floor when we checked in. Overall it was a good stay. The bedding was very comfortable. One of the rooms has a green exit sign which was very bright when you go to sleep.

The bed was extremely comfortable western style bed. The location was fabulous and the room was huge! It was great that they stored our bags while we walked around on the last day of our trip. There were amble towels and having the washing machine in the room was so nice after sweating in the summer heat. They also lad adequate hangers. The only things I would like to change would be to add hooks in the bathroom for towels. Also you will need to bring extra cups and paper towel if you need - there were only two mugs no water cups. Overall I would highly recommend

Although we didn’t use the kitchen, it’s nice to have. While they don’t offer the same toiletries as business hotels, you will get the basics. We’ll come back to this hotel again

We had a lovely stay here during our time ij Kyoto. It was a central location and less than a 10 minute walk to Kiyomizu dera temple. I really like how we had a small kitchen so that we could make breakfast in the mornings before we headed out. The apartment was very clean and had a good amount of space. The bed was very comfortable.

We stayed here on our first Japan trip and we're so glad we did! The location is superb, a few minutes walk and you are in Ninenzaka. There's also a supermarket nearby, and bus stops a few steps out of the hotel! The room is spacious as well and complete with kitchen appliances, though we didn't cook anything during our stay. The bed is comfy, and the bath is huge. For the price point, this is such a steal! Just a shame though that our room didn't have any window, but this isn't a deal breaker since the room has more than enough space. The staff at the front desk also were accommodating. We're planning to go back to japan this year and I have booked here again!

The best hotel in our 2.5-week trip! The room was actually an apartment with kitchen, washing machine and a nice balcony. We spent 5 days there, and appreciated the possibility to cook our breakfast, because most cafes nearby open at 9 am. The location is great, with many tourist attractions within walking distance and an easy bus ride to Kyoto train station.

I was super excited to stay at an old fashioned Japanese house during my trip in Japan. This house was about 5 mins walk in a quiet neighborhood away from the hotel. Unfortunately the house is not clean. Super dusty especially in the bedroom. We found an old bandaid on the floor and there were multiple stains on the mattresses. House was poorly ventilated, even with the windows open. We were congested being in the house and instantly relieved once we leave each day. The alley leading to the house could have used a light as we were navigating in the dark.

Great and clean stay! The room was very nice and even though we booked a double bed, the bed looked big enough to be a king! Very walkable to some great sites. The check in time ends at 7:30pm but the staff was kind enough to give us instructions to check in late around 9:00pm (especially since we were stressing about it!) would stay again :)

Awesome stay in a great location

Stayed here for 4 nights during our two week Japan trip. This stay is probably one of my favorites of all time. Room rate was very reasonable, room was big compared to most Japanese hotels. Washer is a big bonus, there was a kitchen stoves too but we did not use it. Everything was in great condition and felt new, free umbrellas for guests to use. Great location, within walking distance to Kiyomizu and Hōkan-ji Temple. Bus stops right outside on main street, though buses can get overcrowded.

Property is in nice neighborhood, very close to bus stops/routes (<2 min), directly accessible from Kyoto station. Hotel is near several tourist locations and immediately walkable. Room size is decent with table, with washer but no dryer. Not a lot of drying rack/space though, and there is no external area to dry it outside. Not a lot of utensils/plates, but we made do. Electric locks for main door and room access was somewhat unexpected, not sure if this is the norm nowadays (haven't traveled internationally since before covid). Lots of clean towels, and only one room cleaning during our 5 day stay, and evidently there wouldn't have been any if we had stayed for fewer days. Used towels/garbage left at door in early morning for takeaway. Front door office staff, but only for limited hours during the day. Overall, nice stay and convenient access to public transportation.

We (partner and 10 year old) loved this place- great location in the old town, quiet, lovely staff who were always so helpful (allowed us to store our luggsge on the last day, free umbrellas to use). Verr clean and tidy room, very comfortable beds, hot shower. I loved having a window that opened to a small balcony (to help dry washing too). Admittedly there wasn't a lot of room in the bedroom with three suitcases but overall a fabulous place with staff who responded quickly to emails and always greeted us warmly. Great value for money place- would stay there again.
