Great location and the washing machine was nice to have. The staff were very responsive and pleasant to work with. The washing machine wasn’t in the cleanest condition and our bathroom door handle fell off on the final night of our stay, but overall a great place for the price we paid and the location of the accommodation.

Nice size room and comfortable stay. It's a bit of a self check in style with no staff on site, though this was not an issue for us and check in was smooth. Staff were very responsive and helpful when contacted. Our room had a bit of a feet smell which I'm assuming was from a previous guest standing on the tatami after walking too long in Kyoto, though we had some air freshener with us so we fixed the problem xD

Great place to stay! There are no staff on site but the owners were super responsive even when we asked to check in early! It’s a great location to the train station and the gyoza place at the end of the street is incredible! Also laundry is very close! Will definitely stay here again next time we stay in Kyoto!

Great location that was a short walk to the station, convenience store, and local good options. The bed and tatmami mat were both very comfortable and the place was clean. Gave great amenities. Staff were also really friendly and helpful. The vibe of the place was also nice and the location was quiet and seemed like a neoghborhood so it was very enjoyable.

I like that it is perfect for introverts as there is no need to speak to staff really everything is done independently. I did not like that there is absolutely no way of reaching higher floors without having to carry your luggage & of course I got the top floor & had oversized luggage. I think maybe assigning rooms based on luggage would help. However, I assume this may not be possible due to specific room types on specific floors (ie; two beds rooms on floor 2 & single beds in room 3) but other than that it was great especially for a solo traveler

Excellent location in Gion district. Easy access to subway, buses, and the 7-11. Don't miss the incredible Kenninji Temple just blocks away, among so many others. Surprise find was a Little Free Library across the street with books in English and Japanese. The vending machine on this block is also the cheapest around! The check-in location is a few blocks south of Kyoto Station, which is important to know, but was wasn't a problem for us as we arrived at the station anyways (the office will store your luggage for free there, or use lockers at the station). Although all their emails were in Japanese, the check-in staff spoke English and was very responsive to questions. Free wifi. Would return!

Perfect location and our room size was great. Went to the office near Kyoto station, as instructed. No one there. Got an email which said to proceed to the hotel. We were sent foyer entry codes, fill check in docs, then waited approx. half hour to receive room code. We received an email asking for a day to refresh linen, as we could get one change as we were staying more than a three days. No one showed with fresh linen. The day before we left we reported the fridge not working. Said they would be there by 5 pm to rectify. No one showed and never heard from them. Could really only recommend it for the location, not the management.

It wasn't clear at first when we booked as to how access would be to the property. Received several messages via the Expedia App which were useless for us since they were in Japanese. After several back and forth , the day before arrival we finally called the vendor number listed. It is then that we found out that we would need to go to the reservation office first to fill out papers and get access code . The office was not close to the Inn so we needed to take a taxi which was 10-15 minute ride. All this was not made clear when we initially booked this room. The location is great as it is close to great dining options as well as the famous Nishiki market. The room was a bit small but manageable. It was strange to find an empty unfurnished elevated area in the room which didn't seem to serve a purpose except maybe if one were to stretch our practice yoga? In any case highly recommend the location of the room but info needs to be clearer regarding the check in process.

***BED BUGS*** The location was excellent. The amenities were minimal - there wasn't a single hook on the walls for towels or clothing. The main issue was that we woke up with BED BUG BITES! We even saw them moving and crawling on the walls in the morning. We got out of there FAST and asked for a refund for remaining nights.

Although we did not have face-to-face interaction with anyone at the property, they were very responsive messaging through Expedia app. The property was lovely and just as the picture displayed. We were able to check in at 1pm instead of 3pm because the housekeeping was done, which was greatly appreciated because we were hot and tired after our trip! The location is wonderful! Walkable to Pontocho alley, Nishiki Market and all the shrines on the East side of Gion. We would stay here again!
