Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): Can only recommend it. This hotel peaks in comfort and price, very nice staff thank you Yuji! - nice rooms, direct connection to main station via bus
- Zachary (10/5): The rooms were clean, the host was friendly, and the location was great! Would stay again. - I loved how cozy it was and how accommodating the host was. It was a charming experience. Nothing.
- Luca (8/5): -
- Alice (8/5): Comfortable - Inside the room is clean, comfortable and spacious The entrance &checkin looks abit worrisome.. but when you get into your room it’s all fine.
- Diego (5/5): - It has an elevator and a reception desk The very small micro-bathroom is very uncomfortable and I am convinced they haven’t cleaned the toilet seat thoroughly!
Desk full of clutter yet basic amenities seemed to be missing.
- Tomas David (10/5): - Muy buena experiencia. Todo estuvo muy bien y la atención fue excelente. Además, tuvieron el gesto de dejarnos un detalle por nuestra luna de miel, algo que realmente valoramos mucho. Son esas pequeñas cosas las que hacen la diferencia. Súper recomendable.
- Oskar Marius (9/5): - The room is nice. There is a mini fridge and a kettle. The i room is also clean Bathroom space for my room was a bit too small.
- Liu XiaoGang (8/5): -
- Christa (6/5): Efficient, friendly, but basic - It was basic, but sufficient. Staff were very friendly. Location was a bit out of the way, but transportation was easily accessible.
- Roberta (8/5): - Il rapporto qualità prezzo è buono. Il letto è scomodo.
- Barret (5/5): - It was pretty bare bones, I liked the traditional style. Three out of the four of us had really bad beds and couldn't sleep very well. Also the walls were really thin so you could hear mostly everything from everyone else
- Nobuko (8/5): - スタッフの方たちが紳士的でとても
家庭的でした。
部屋は清潔でした。 探すのが難しいです。
- sara (9/5): Very good location for Cyclists who want to stop for visiting Kyoto. - I stayed two night at the guest house, very friendly staff, they allow me to take my bicycle into the room, it was really welcome. The room is actually a generous unit. The lift to go up and down is a bit slow, he always stops at the reception floor.
- Leandre (9/5): -
- Josselin (8/5): -
- JIA (10/5): -
- Adam (9/5): -
- Diana Therese (6/5): - Staff were extremely kind and helpful! They made my experience wonderful. I received recommendations, they were able to speak English and in the room there was a recommendations book which was super neat. It was convenient to have umbrellas free of use for the rain and as my walking stick! It personally felt more like a motel, however, the staff made the stay all the more bearable. I received a different room from what was presented when Booking. The price is the most affordable that I was able to find during cherry blossom season and if anything it was a mistake on my part for not differentiating between a guest house and hotel!
- Miwa (9/5): -
- keithvn (5/5): - Easy to go to kyoto station and temples by bus and ok for eating There was no microwave and the bathroom to small
- 杣人 (5/5): ホテルの宿泊代が高騰していることを考えるとリーズナブル。想定内でした。 - いつも泊まっている四条近辺からは少し離れていたがお散歩感覚で歩ける距離だったので問題はない。近くに食事のできる店もありその点も問題はない。京都での宿泊はコインパーキングが基本になるので自動車の利用も不便は感じない。施設はゲストハウスという名だがプライベートが守られているのでその点も問題はない。スタッフも丁寧な説明で好感何もてた。 バスタブが狭くてシャワーのみ。
- Rafoli (6/5): -
- Carla (10/5): - La zona era tranquila, la habitacion era comoda, el balcon con linda vista, todo fue fabuloso
- Ludovica (9/5): - Staff gentile e disponibile (ci hanno anche consigliato un ottimo posto dove mangiare gli omurice)
Buoni i collegamenti tramite autobus (disponibile più di una fermata dell’autobus nelle vicinanze)
- Colin (9/5): Great stay should have stayed another couple of days to finish what we missed in Kyoto but will be back to finish it all - What wasn’t there to like about the property good sized room with a small balcony comfortable bed and handy to supermarket and the hop on hop off bus No breakfast but that just meant a trip to the supermarket to gather breakfast supplies
- Shinji (4/5): 部屋の設備や家具の配置はもっと見直しの余地がある。値段に見合っていない。 - スタッフの対応は良かった。
サーモスタットのない混合水栓ではあったが、給湯器の温度を調節できるので、お湯の温度はコントロールしやすかった。
近くに先頭があるので、扉が外れるユニットバスを無理に使う必要はない。 普通に閉めて開けるだけで、ユニットバスの扉が外れる。
夜中に自分で構造を見て、はめ直すのは苦痛だった。
直すように依頼したが、直してもらっても開けるときにヒンジの軸が浮くのは相変わらずだったので、たぶんまた外れる。おそらくスタッフにとって、あの部屋のユニットバスの扉が外れることは周知の事実なのだと思う。
上昇・下降の速度が遅い低速エレベーターな上に、かならずフロントのある2Fにエレベーターが止まるので、とにかくエレベーターが遅い。
フロントにスタッフがいない夜間の時間帯でも、2Fにエレベーターが止まるが何の意味もない。
部屋の壁が薄いのか防音性が良くない。
デスクとベッドとテレビの位置関係がいまひとつ。
- Sandia Yang (9/5): - 可以租借腳踏車,來往鄰近景點非常方便
- Barbara (8/5): - Super pobyt, blisko do dworca głównego, w hotelu zamieszczone było wiele informacji dotyczących atrakcji, komunikacji miejskiej i lokalnych restauracji. Obsługa hotelu była bardzo pomocna i mówiła po angielsku. Trochę mała łazienka, ale to chyba norma w Japonii.
- Drake89 (4/5): meh - facility is pretty basic at quite a premium price. this is the only place in my 10-day trip to japan that does not have a toilet washlet. location is not convenient, at the other side of the city, and it takes you ~30-40 minutes on crowded bus to get to main attractions. the only close site is nijo castle.
staff was the main disappointment. my room's wifi was not working. i followed their guidebook and chose other rooms' but the alternatives were pretty slow and unstable, constantly kicking me out. i asked them to look into it, the guy on afternoon shift said ok but nothing changed. next morning i asked the guy on morning shift and he outright refused, making no effort or offering to make any change.
- Yun Cheng (8/5): -
- 前田 (7/5): - 安い 廊下の音が響く
- Yassine (9/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): - Está cerca del castillo Nijo y bien conectado con los buses. Muy ordenado y cómodo.
- hiroko (9/5): 今回は京都グラフィーのため宿泊しました。とても快適に過ごせてまた来年と言わず利用したい - お手頃価格ながら清潔、スタッフもフレンドリー親切でバスタブ付きの個室でリラックスできました
バス停も近く、フロントで一日券を購入できるのも便利です
二条城にも近く、観光後の帰り道にスーパー、百均とかあり寄れて便利でした トイレにウオッシュレットがないのが残念だけど、電気、水道料金も高くなってるので先見の目があったかもです
- Melik (8/5): - Chambre spacieuse et propre Un peu loin du centre
- Monika (8/5): Good value for price - Accomodation was good as price -value comparison. It is a bit further outside and have limited dinner options in the neighbourhood. Room is in line with the local room sizes but managable.
Rooms was clean and staff was helpful.
- Maria (10/5): -
- Filip (10/5): -
- Julia (10/5): - Great location, the room was big for Japanese standards, private balcony, comfy beds.
- Repa (8/5): -
- Arno (8/5): Goed verblijf - Behulpzaam personeel
Dichtbij bushalte
Fijne faciliteiten binnen het verblijf Hier en daar mag er wat onderhoud worden gedaan
- Jean-Noël (5/5): - Localisation Logement très petit , pas de rangement
- martine (10/5): Séjour délicieux - Le gérant de la Guest House d' une disponibilité et amabilité exceptionnelle, toujours présent pour donner les informations nécessaires et nous fournir des plans détaillés des transports en commun. Les équipements : machine à laver, sèche linge. Rien
- Ranko (9/5): -
- yukiko (7/5): -
- Aikaterini (7/5): - Είχε κοντά στάσεις λεωφορείων. Ευγενικό προσωπικό. Το κλιματιστικό ήταν πολύ χαμηλά με αποτέλεσμα να χτυπήσω δύο φορές το κεφάλι μου. Δεν είχε καλή ηχομόνωση.
- Lichu (10/5): -
- 苑儿 (6/5): - 地點方便 靠近二條城 沒什麼備品,但基本設施還是可以的
- Hoffster (5/5): - Covienent location The unit toilet bath was too small for my XXL size.
- Ai-hsiang (7/5): - 前台有一定的專業度,也很親切,問他要洗衣精,請他幫我處理房間電燈打不開的問題都很快地回應了。床比我想像中大。設施不新但是打掃得真的還蠻乾淨的。價錢還蠻便宜是真。 兩個點。
第一,雖然附近公車很多,但入住的時候常常會有大行李,我沒記錯的話京都大行李不能上公車。得坐地鐵到二條城再拉過來。這方面個人覺得頗累,但已經入住之後的移動是還蠻方便的。
第二,不知是否只有我住的房間如此?日光燈在關掉之後燈管沒辦法完全暗下來,裡面的螢光幾乎會持續微弱的藍色光線一整夜。像是頭頂一直有一盞小夜燈的程度。這點對我來講是真的還蠻困擾的。
- Sumoza (8/5): A great place to stay in Kyoto - Amenities were great and the staff were so nice! The walls are pretty thin and you could hear other people.
- Vu (9/5): -
- Marcelina (8/5): - Big and comfortable room, same goes for beds and bedding. Super clean towels and possibility to exchange them daily. The staff were extremely helpful and accomodating, we also left our luggage on the last day for a couple of hours for free.
- Eric (8/5): -
- Carlucci (6/5): Nur fürs übernachten hat alles gepasst - Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich Keine Klobürste auf dem Zimmer, sehr hellhörige Wände
- Mariam (9/5): -
- Ludovica (8/5): Un piacevole soggiorno a Kyoto - La posizione della struttura è ideale: vicinissima a diverse fermate autobus e al castello di Kyoto. Lo staff è gentilissimo e disponibile per qualsiasi necessità.
Come consiglio, suggerirei di aggiungere qualche mensola nella stanza per avere più piani di appoggio.
- 雅珍 (8/5): 性價比高 公車方便 入住簡單 - 公車方便 可以去很多地方 性價比高 隔音略差
- Salma (9/5): -
- Artyom (8/5): -
- Courtney (8/5): - The accommodation was nice, comfy and private. But what made a huge difference was the lovely staff. They were super helpful and took the time to explain things. It was further out from the centre, but honestly right outside were bus stops. But just be mindful when booking about 20min bus ride to the centre.
- Lichu (10/5): -
- Komiya (6/5): -
- Federico (10/5): Warm and clean place , cheap and quality - Wonderful place Nothing
- Mónica (9/5): -
- Telles Castañeda (8/5): Podrían mejorar. - La cama fue muy cómoda. En general el lugar es anticuado lo cual no va acorde al precio.
- Elyes (9/5): -
- Mathilde (8/5): - L'emplacement et la taille de la chambre La taille de la salle bain qui fait en même temps toilette
- Dharma Lancelot (8/5): - Excelente relacion calidad precio. Las habitaciones y el baño eran un poco pequeños.
- Chie (7/5): お安くて満足! - スタッフが親身になってくれた。
- Anna (9/5): A great option for a budget stay - Excellent for the price. The room was very clean, and there was a lot of space compared to other places I've stayed in Japan. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Everything was cleaned up in time. The location was great, 1 minute walk to bus stops, 5 minutes to a supermarket, and a couple of convenience stores nearby. I felt pretty safe as a solo traveller. Overall, absolutely worth the money. I’d recommend good earplugs for sleeping, as noise isolation isn’t great.
- Innerhofer (7/5): War ok - Relativ großes Zimmer und täglicher Handtuchwechsel Sehr hellhörig und keine moderne Toilette. Etwas teuer für das was man bekommt. Aber gut, Kirschblüten Saison halt.
- Criselda (8/5): We are very satisfied with the Guest House. It is important for us to have a good night sleep after a very tiring day an - It has enough space for 3 persons with big luggages. The kitchen is fully equipped (although we used it very seldom). It is quiet although it is beside a main road (I think the windows are well isolated). We were able to use the Washing Machine. The Bath Tub is a luxury for the very tired body in the evening! Location is quite a distance to the nearest Metro. So you need to walk like 15 minutes. Bus stations are nearby.
- Graça (5/5): Decepcionante - Do acesso aos transportes Muito pobre, o quarto não tinha os apoios básicos de cabeceira, não era confortável os vidros simples deixavam passar e condensavam a humidade. Os preços do booking para quarto standart foram muito superiores aos praticados pelo alojamento para quartos superiores e com outras condições
- Brice (8/5): - Très bon accueil, facile de prendre des bus pour se déplacer Petite salle de bain mais pas grave
- ANGELIKA (8/5): Завышена цена за эти номера - Видео, что персонал старается в плане чистоты. Когда я заехала все было чисто Очень плохая шумоизоляция. Слышно даже как шепотом разговаривают. В номере все очень старое. При этом это не японский стиль, это просто очень старая мебель и техника. В номере было не уютно. До метро 20 минут пешком.
- Pierre-Louis (6/5): -
- Nathalie (10/5): -
- Cedric (8/5): -
- Marlena (4/5): - This is definitely 2 star hostel. The best of it is a receptionist who is super nice 👌🏻
- Ensink (10/5): - Very helpful staff, excellent location next to the bus stop. Great rooms and easy checkin
- Silvia (8/5): - Posizione ottima. Stanza non gigante ma almeno c'era lo spazio per aprire le valigie (non scontato in giappone) Bagno davvero piccolo e vecchio.
Siamo stati 4 notti e non sono mai passati a pulire la stanza - non pretendo che vengano fatti tutti i giorni essendo una guest house ma almeno dare una passata ai pavimenti ogni paio di giorni mi sembra doveroso. O piuttosto mettete a disposizione degli ospiti una scopa o simile.
La stanza era inizialmente pulita ma inevitabilmente dopo qualche giorni non lo era piu.
A peggiorare la situazione c'era della polvere o simile che non sappiamo se uscisse dallo split del condizionatore o da sotto il letto.
- Fernando (7/5): -
- Han Pao (8/5): 謝謝有鬍鬚的旅館主人熱情招待我這位異鄉客!感謝! - 交通方便、安靜!出旅館即可坐202、93路公車到達京都幾乎所有的景點旅遊!重點是旅館主人非常客氣、待人誠懇、會說中文!非常棒!獨旅很推薦! 浴廁有點小!
- Marta (8/5): -
- Ángela (8/5): Cómodo, pero desapercibido - Las camas eran muy suaves y cómodas, creo que nunca he dormido tan bien como en las camas de este hospedaje
El staff increíblemente amable Los baños tenían puertas deslizantes en vez de manillas, me di cuenta tarde y al mover la puerta por instinto la saqué de su riel.
El el letrero de afuera es pequeño y está sobre la puerta, por lo que no se ve si pasas en auto por el frente, quizás si hubiera un letrero plegable para que se pudiera identificar mejor
Me habría gustado una lamparita o una luz cerca de la cama, cuando apagaba las luces era boca de lobo
