Kyoto Ayanishiki Shimabara-Omon Residence

The location was very good,there was a very nice cafe on walking distance named Suzaya for breakfast, convenience stores like 7/11 were around. There were lots of restaurants, Jr train was on walking distance. Uber was available on few minutes booking.

They can't do better then that,it was just perfect.

Very quiet

Little way to walk to places

Friendly staff, close to train station and supermarket

The room has a really Japanese feeling to it. There is a tatami area with a little kitchen in it. You can use the nearby onsen for free if you ask the staff. Unfortunately we didn't have the time. We had breakfast included, which came in Bento Boxes. We liked it! The Tambaguchi train station is about 10 minutes away, so it's good if you want to get to Arashiyama.

It's a quiet far away from the sightseeing hot spots. The Gion District and the famous shrines are quite a bit further away and mostly accessible by bus, but you should plan for about 40-60 min to get there.

We liked the staff, beautiful room , kids loved the bath. close to a train station for easy access to Bamboo Forest and Monkey Park, there is a great supermarket Matsumoto close by if you want a break from eating out.

Address given by Booking.com was hard to understand and several people we asked for help with directions including taxi driver had problems understanding it. We finally gave up trying to put address into Google maps and just put name of property which gave us better directions.

The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

The place was good. Only thing I could suggest would be to invest in some Do Not Disturb signs for the doors.

The atmosphere felt like a real traditional japanese home, in this quiet neighborhood one can get immersed with the locals. Onsen directly on the corner, ticket is included with the booking.
