"It was quite and relaxing"

9.0

I really enjoyed the style and experience of staying here. It was really quaint and slow. Which was amazing and a nice change of pace for all the hotles ive been in lately.

The porporty is on a private road and so some of the house around the inn are residential so we have to be very quite with the noise you make as some of the residents get mad. But as long as youre not banging around or talking really loud you should be fine. Also with me being 6'4 the house was not biult for me so I hit my head on door ways like 3 times and the blankets were really long enough.

The size of the room and the quiet neighborhood

How short all the doors were. Be careful if you're over 5'8 tall

Exactly how it looks in the photos. I loved everything about it. I would definitely recommend this and would stay again. The approach to it looks a bit dodgy and I would be worried if it was in other countries. But Japan and especially Kyoto there's absolutely nothing to be worried about. Families live around this area, great location. Great amenities, clean towels everyday.

Only 2 cups which were for green tea so also small. A few western style cups would be good.

Atmosphère très authentique, emplacement idéal.

Il n'y a pas d'équipement pour cuisiner alors que c'était indiqué qu'il y en avait sur Booking. Pas possible de bloquer la lumière des fenêtres hautesdans la chambre donc pas mal de luminosité la nuit. Préciser qu'il faut allumer l'appareil de la baignoire pour avoir de l'eau chaude (même pour la douche)
