Everything was excellent. The best thing for me was trains and bus stations were nearby and walkable. Staff was very nice as well and everything was clean.

Perfect for the price.
It's cheap for a reason, but it gets the job done. No problems with anything, but no frills. More space in the room than expected.

Chambre humide, drap non lavé, salle de bain glaciale
Futon non pulito, precedenti ospiti avevano usato apparecchi tagliabarba. Assenza di personale poliglotta come dichiarato (solo giapponese). Scale ripide, assenza di ascensore. Stanza singola piccolissima (una volta aperto il futon non c'era spazio neanche per la valigia).

Not worth for the price & no TV inside the room, not comfortable at all,
The staff at the guesthouse were great to help with any questions. This guesthouse it a bit different than most others in that it doesn’t have a lounge area to hang out and meet other guests. The location is very convenient for the train station and local attractions.

Wonderful small hotel in a great location in Kyoto
We loved this place! Very small and quaint, maybe about 8 rooms total? The place was very clean - almost immaculate. The staff was wonderful. It has everything you need in Kyoto, including being very close to Kyoto station! Would 100% stay again.
Thanks!
