Very chill and comfortable stay, WiFi can be a little slow at times and you have to pay for your towels etc, other than that the staffs are all super friendly, speaks good English too.

We enjoyed the room and the house which is really easily accessible from Kyoto train station (10min by bus). I especially appreciated the suggestions of visits around the hotel, and the public bath recommanded, which I did try! I recommand also the park. A lot of public transport can lift you to the main spots of Kyoto. About the house, it may miss one shower at least, it was a little busy the evening. Otherwise everyting was great, i totally recommand !

For those who love the ancient architecture will love to stay here. It is giving the city unforgettable memories. The environment also so quiet and giving peace to the couple traveller like us. You can enjoy the Japanese old lifestyle.

The dormitory layout is very unique, and the guests are of high quality. I stayed there for three nights and was not woken up.

An interesting experience for one night. The traditional house has its own charm, the room has its own exit to the courtyard/garden. At the same time, the hotel has very poor soundproofing, you can even hear your neighbors unzipping their suitcases.

There was no guide and the instructions were a bit lacking. I was barely able to find my room and enter with the help of other guests already in the accommodation.

The room is clean, tidy and very comfortable. It's only one stop away from Kyoto Station! Although there is no bathroom in the room, the overall atmosphere is still very good!

Please note that this guesthouse only accepts cash! And all services are self-service, which minimizes the cost! It is as simple as possible. Because there is not enough cash, the front desk called the police without communicating with the customer! (Maybe because they don’t understand English) This is my first and most amazing accommodation experience ever... Please mark it clearly on Ctrip: If you don’t pay online, choose to pay in the store. This guesthouse only accepts cash! The worst travel experience! (You are asked to return the key by yourself, check in & check out, and you must wear slippers when going upstairs)
How to solve it in the end: By calling the real owner of the small hotel, the owner remotely guides the front desk, open the official website of the guesthouse again, and book another room with a credit card to cover the cash difference. This is the plan I told the front desk at the beginning. Maybe he didn’t understand English at all... The funniest thing is that he kept smiling and calm, and called the police directly by checking the passport information... He also said "calm down" in his mouth. How can he be so ****... 400+ Please stay in other areas! After so many trips, this is the most dramatic experience! I wasted a whole morning in vain

I often use this hotel when I'm working in Kyoto. It's good value for money and is enough if you just need to sleep.
It's also convenient that there's a hot water tub.
Thank you as always.

It was a Japanese-style room, so it had a nice feel. I recommend it to those who want to experience tatami and kotatsu. However, there was something on the kotatsu cloth and hair stuck to it, so the cleanliness was a bit poor. And I think it was difficult because it was unmanned check-in and check-out.
