Kyojuku Usagi - Vacation STAY 46003v

Staff members are so friendly and helpful! They speak fluent English and very responsive!

Only offer feather blanket which is too warm to sleep..

Staff are amazing and couldn’t be any more accommodating! Helped us find activities and make reservations over the phone to places that are only Japanese speaking.

The apartment was great - very comfortable with some very Japanese elements which were great and exceeded my expectations. Loved the little garden and the tatami room. Good location very near Nijo station. We had a traditional Japanese breakfast one morning which was beautifully presented, and very interesting. The jacuzzi bath was fab. Very clean and well appointed.

Finding the apartment was the main aspect that wasn’t great. After a long journey and trailing our luggage, we found the main building which was not staffed. We made contact through booking.com to be told our apartment was in the annex. The annex is not next door to the main building. We had not been given directions to the annex, only to the main building. The annex was much nearer the station than the main building so we had almost walked past it. The directions to the annex were not easy to follow, but eventually we found it. We never did find where reception is, which would have been helpful to know. Also some of the English instructions for appliances weren’t very detailed. The washing machine took 8 hours for a load! If there was one, a shortcut program would have been handy but I couldn’t see one. A dishwasher would have been good. I assumed the flat would have one.

Kyoyado Usagi is by far the best place I’ve stayed in Japan, and is up there in my top 3 hotel / vacation rental experiences. The attention to detail is incredible, starting with the staff, who are extremely attentive and responsive to guests. I reached out for help making a reservation that could only be done over the phone in Japanese, and within a day they had confirmed the reservation for me, plus secured me an amazing table. They even printed out directions to the restaurant and followed up to ask me how it was afterwards. The staff greets you at check-in, walks you through the accommodation and answers any and all questions that you have. The accommodation itself (we stayed in the Oike “room”) was absolutely incredible, and amazing value for the price. The craftsmanship, interiors, and fixtures of the place were outstanding, with great modern technology like in-floor heating, automatic lights, and an automatic filling jacuzzi tub making it impossible to beat. The Sakura tree in our private courtyard at the Oike room was still in bloom during our stay, which added to the magic of the place. I really can’t recommend this property enough if you’re in Kyoto, I know I’ll definitely be back.

Lot of.space, nice staff.

Nothing.
