Guest Reviews

• Friederike (10/5): -
• Larsen (7/5): - Clean. Good value for money. Easy check-in and check-out. Located close to Nijo Castle and Kyoto Gyoen. Fairly quiet streets. Super thin walls (actually just peaces of plastic in some places) so you had to whisper even in your own room. And it might be worth noticing that guest rooms were on the first floor while showers and sinks for brushing your teeth were downstairs which was a bit annoying when getting ready for bed and for a new day.
• Michelle (10/5): - Kind employees, and they had everything we needed and the hostel is in a great location. We’re happy! The only thing we missed was some kind of storage for clothes or similar, we had 2 night stands and a locker for valuables, but everything else we had to organize on the floor. It wasn’t a big problem, but would save us some floor space. All other kind of equipment you could think of was in the room our by the entrance.
• Claudia (10/5): Lovely simple lodging - Lovely comfortable twin room in traditional style Japanese building. Thin walls but we had quiet fellow guests. Shared bathrooms, nice communal space. Microwave and fridge for guest use. Short walk to subway
• Linh (10/5): -
• Sangiorgio (7/5): Good value for few days - Spacious room Shared bathroom with restaurant next door
• Rebecca (8/5): -
• Mudry (8/5): Kyoto est un bijoux pas forcément ou tout le monde va! - L’authenticité et l’emplacement. Les autres voyageurs manquaient de tact
• Ramon (9/5): -
• Martin (10/5): Nice chill place - I was surprised to get such a big room definitely wasn't expecting that but it was a pleasant surprise for sure! Overall i really liked the location as it was close to most places i wanted to visit so i haven't used public transport at all and just walked everywhere. Definitely made my Kyoto experience better, in fact Kyoto was the highlight of my trip to Japan. Not much of an issue but the bathroom was kind of cold but that's probably just because i visited in March.
• Meije (9/5): Point de chute central à Kyoto ! - Adaptateurs multiprise, lisseur à cheveux, machine à laver,... , beaucoup d'appareils à disposition. Décoration superbe et objets d'arts. Petit bémol sur l'isolation (vieille maison).
• Ryoya (9/5): -
• Markus (8/5): Affordable guesthouse - Close to the subway and the castle. Good value for money.
• Steven (7/5): -
• Ayumi (10/5): - 立地がとてもいいのにかなり手ごろなところ かなり音に気をつけないといけないけど、でもみなさん音に気をつけてるのがわかって不快じゃなかった
• Sue (8/5): Overall, location is good. Staff very friendly and responsive. - Room is comfortable. Owner is very thoughtful. Provided phone charger in room. Climbing steep stairs and step on wobbly tiles to bathroom. Understood its traditional Japanese house. Maybe it’s just me with my bad knees.
• CHENG-YU (9/5): 這是一間非常具有京都傳統風味的旅宿，睡起來非常的舒適，員工也很樂於幫助旅客解決問題，讓我們有很棒的住宿體驗。 - 這是一個很復古，卻又讓我很舒適的地方，特別是他們的房間充滿了傳統的氛圍，但是睡起來卻又相當的舒適 天氣很冷，在傳統的房子裡浴室是隔離分開的，所以洗澡的時過會要走一段路到浴室，這路上很冷；也因為是傳統改建的緣故，所以有一段非常抖協的樓梯在搬運行李時較為不便。
• 若邑 (10/5): - 床非常舒服！整個環境也很舒適 員工非常的友善
• Lotta Katrine (8/5): Wunderschön und empfehlenswert - Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sehr geräumig. Leider ist es etwas hellhörig. Man hört jede Tür und Treppenstufe
• Maria Lucia (10/5): -
• 若邑 (10/5): - 床睡起來超舒服！備品也都很好用 員工很用心
• Olivia (8/5): - Très confortable, bien placé et joli. Les voisins assez peu respectueux du silence la nuit
• Lieke (7/5): Charmante maar zeer gehorige accommodatie. Praktisch gelegen. - Het is een authentiek Japans huis, wat de accommodatie zeker zijn charme geeft. Lulu ligt in een relatief rustige wijk. De kamer was mooi ingericht. Het is zeer gehorig. Gasten dienen veel rekening met elkaar te houden, je kunt elkaar zeer goed horen. Het personeel is vrijwel afwezig, wat gek is voor de sfeer. Beneden is een lunchroom, wat ik geen aanwinst vond voor de accommodatie. Sanitair was wat oud en het toilet niet zo schoon.
• Morgane (7/5): Bien pour dépanner une nuit - La localisation à 2 pas du Nijō-jō. La propreté de la chambre Les commentaires précédents avaient prévenu et je confirme à mon tour : les murs sont fins comme du papier, donc on entend la moindre conversation comme si on y était. Par ailleurs, on a été un peu surpris par les installations communes : - les lavabos/miroirs sont dans le couloir d'entrée de l'hostel. Pas méga agréable ni confortable, sans compter que le couloir est visible depuis la rue, donc selon l'heure à laquelle vous vous préparez, les passants profitent du spectacle. - L'accès aux douches se fait par l'extérieur (avec 2 parpaings instables en guise de marche-pied). Quand les températures se font plus fraîches les soirs d'automne ou d'hiver, ce n'est pas hyper agréable. On n'a encore moins compris les avis précédents qui parlaient d'un bon rapport qualité-prix. Peut-être avons-nous séjourné en haute saison et les prix étaient plus élevés ? En tout cas, on ne partage pas cet avis.
• Nikita (9/5): -
• Tomoaki (8/5): また機会があれば泊まりたいと思います。 - 京都の町屋に泊まれた感じがとても良かったです。宿内は掃除が行き届いていて清潔でしたし、必要なものは何でも揃っていました。 共同風呂とトイレ、事前チェックイン方式で宿泊時に宿の方とは全く会わないこと、などは、不便に感じる向きもあるかも知れませんが、事前に承知していれば問題ありません。
• Corinna (9/5): -
• ZHIXIANG (10/5): -
• stormacq (8/5): Très chouette endroit pour se détendre en toute tranquillité. - Accueil, la possibilité de laisser nos valises à l'arrivée et au départ, le côté intimiste des lieux, la gentillesse des gens Les rideaux ne protègent pas assez de la lumière venant de la rue la nuit.
• Cassandra (7/5): -
• Samuel (9/5): -
• hinata (10/5): - 綺麗で、雰囲気も良くて最高だった！ すぐ隣のホットドッグ屋さんも美味しいしスタッフの方めちゃくちゃ優しいくて是非利用して欲しいです最高！😭また来たいなと思う宿でした🎶
• Vivian (10/5): Lovely! - Had the best time at Lulu‘s! Exceptional service, they were so nice and accommodating and the rooms are cozy:) Nothing, all perfect :)
• QIANRU (10/5): -
• Guillaume (10/5): Exceptional - Azusa was very helpful, accommodation is fairly simple, but you have everything you could need, it is very modest and charming and peaceful. Would go again.
• Nezam (10/5): Will definitely be back. Felt perfect for my time and travel purpose. - Loved the feel of this kyoto guest house. It had a very good energy, minimalist, clean, no frills, perfect. Great location too, and staff were very helpful with any questions I had. If you don't want a hotel, and want to experience a more traditional Kyoto style guest-house, and need a good base in kyoto to explore and do day trips, this is a perfect option! It is a traditional-style house, so the walls are thin. But everyone was very respectful!
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shay (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay near Nijo castle. Kind host and very good facilities. Comfortable, beautiful, quiet and good value for money! Thank you 🙏
• Charm (8/5): Very good - The room was spacious and comfortable. The address was a bit confusing, and it took us a while to find the place.
• Bell (10/5): Super charming with a local vibe in the perfect Kyoto position - I've stayed in Kyoto 6-7 times, and this location is my favourite I think. Right near a bunch of lovely restaurants, and close to tourist hotspots, but far away enough to enjoy the local vibe. There is a view of a castle at the end of the street and a direct bus from the station. The place itself is charming and cosy, with super comfortable beds. The atmosphere of the house is really nice, we stayed in a 5 star hotel 3x the price the day before, and my daughter loved this place more. It was great for us, but be aware that this place is quite basic in the facilities, it not suitable for people who expect 3-5 star comforts. No pyjamas, toothbrush etc. From reviews on other platforms the staff are normally very helpful, but I think they were out of town the night we booked, so nobody showed us around when we arrived and we couldn't borrow bicycles. Again, not a dealbreaker for the reasonable price - but it would have been nice to use the bicycles.
