Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (6/5): - シンプルなお部屋でリラックス出来ましたがテレビがないと少し寂しいかな？街中の為…場所がわかりにくく迷ってしまいました！ホテルへの問い合わせが一切出来無いので不安になりましたが着いたらめちゃくちゃホッとしました！色々な体験が出来る外国の方向けの宿泊施設ですね！交通の便はいいのでは？
- Kirstie (10/5): Good hostel - This place was so clean! Beds were comfortable but the pillows weren’t unfortunately, that’s the only bad thing about comfort. I felt it was in a good location, quiet and not far to the trains. The lady that checked us in was so lovely & gave us lots of information of the local area & the best places to view the cherry blossoms that were blooming, I wish I Knew her name ! We loved our stay at seibido inn and would stay again with a different pillow :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything about our stay was wonderful, from Check in to check out
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was very nice, accomodations were in keeping with traditional inn, and futons were comfortable.
- Lolo (10/5): - Personnel acceuillant, l'ensemble est très charmant, je conseille vivement !
- jiawen (10/5): Excellent place to stay with comfort and budget. - The staff are friendly, location is perfect to access trains and buses. Price is good.
- Giulia (10/5): - Carino, personale disponibile,comodo al centro. ..
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and common areas are spacious. Staff was friendly and close to metro station.
- Michiel (10/5): - Conveniently located. Very friendly and helpful staff who were very willing to advise on trips, sightseeing, transportation etc. Convenient shared kitchen facilities to have your own breakfast or make coffee or tea any time you like. The room with six futons was comfortable for our group of three adults and two children.
- Elena (10/5): Génial - Très bien! Nous avons adoré cette hôtel plein de comfort. Le personnel a été à nos soins pendant tout le séjour. La chambre était très propre et spacieuse. Nous avons pu très bien nous reposer. L hôtel propose aussi des vélos en location, idéal pour visiter la ville.
- Sullivan (10/5): Super sympa - De passage à Kyoto pour 4jours. Découvrant le Japon pour la première fois, les personnes de l'hôtel nous ont été d'une grande aide. Serviable et à l'écoute, ils ont su nous conseiller que ce soit pour les endroits où manger mais aussi les endroits à visiter.
- Adrian (10/5): - The hotel was well situated, clean and had all the comforts needed. My only comments is that I found the pillow uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have some ambient lighting for when I was reading before going to sleep.
- Brittany (10/5): - Great clean space! Loved how spacious the room was for 5 people and the additional bathrooms downstairs. The staff are super helpful and were able to secure my late check-in. Would come again!
- Michaele (10/5): - The staff were extremely welcoming, and helpful, even with the language barrier.
- Marcel (10/5): - Leuk relaxed hotelletje dichtbij hotspots als paleis, Nijo en vismarkt. Wel kleine kamers en weinig opslagruimte. Prima optie.
- HIROMI (10/5): 快適でオススメ！ - 仕事半分、プライベート半分の一人旅で利用しました。割引率が高いお安い日に宿泊。ここ何回か宿泊代を節約するのに安い宿を探して利用しています。ここはその中でもかなり快適な良宿でした。コンビニも近くにあります。バスをうまく利用するとより良いです。もちろん電車の駅の近くにあります。安い宿にありがちな「布団が硬い、もしくは薄い」ではなく、掛け布団はふかふかで軽く、敷き布団は適度に心地よく、ストレスなく快適に眠ることができました。ちなみに二段ベットの上段の話です。お部屋自体は、先に連泊していた海外からの親子３名がいらしたので、チェック心した時はお部屋に洗濯物がたくさん干してあり、狭く感じましたが、次の日彼らがチェックアウトした後見てみたら結構広かったです、、、笑。二段ベットが２台入っています。お部屋のすぐ横に、鍵がかかる清潔で広いシャワー＆バスがあり、快適です。トイレも清潔です。部屋にはドライヤーもあり便利です。空調もリモコンで調整できます。衣服の消臭スプレーや湯沸かしポットなどもありました。朝早く起きたらぜひ近くにある朝食が美味しいパン屋さんへ。フロントで教えてくれます。少し歩いたこの界隈には素敵なお店がたくさんあります。お茶の一保堂さんの素敵な店舗も。そして夜は美味しいラーメン屋を見つけました。他にも入ってみたい飲食店がちらほら。またここを利用したいです。
- Josep Maria (10/5): Excellent - Great!
- Robert (8/5): - Nice little hotel, centrally located, a short walk to shopping and restaurants. There is a great breakfast cafe about two blocks away. These are traditional tatami mat rooms with mattresses that unfold on the floor. I really liked the traditional Japanese bedding, but some people might not. That's the only reason that I gave "room comfort" a "4" rating, rather than a "5". The staff was really wonderful. The receptionists, Kaoru and Oh, were able to understand what I was interested in and gave me good advice about things to see.
- Nobuhide (10/5): - レンタサイクルも格安の500円/日・台で借りられた。快適。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great service in the great Kinosaki-Onsen! Free ride from the train station, and they delivered our luggage down while we wandered the town for a small fee. Overall a great stay in a traditional place.
- Karen (10/5): Hotel limpio y comodo - Excelente atención del personal, la habitación muy espaciosa.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Wii come again- - If you want to stay Kyoto only, this will be great choice.
- Dan (10/5): Nice and accessible hotel - Clean, spacious hotel with helpful staff. Close to bus and subway stations (but keep in mind the closest JR station is Kyoto if you have a JR pass). There is a charge for towel rental.
- Kaz (10/5): Great hotel with great customer service - Good mix of modern and an old time japanese vibe Very friendly staff and the lobby area is a nice touch
- wai ping (8/5): - 比想像中好，職員態度也不錯
- Bruna (10/5): - It was the best hotel we stayed in Japan. Great staff, the boy in reception help us getting backpack we forgot in the train, there was a good space downstairs for eating and drinking and facilities for the guests. The room was in a good size, very clean and the futtons are confortable. Obrigada de novo, Hiyroshi!
- Lam (6/5): - 入住民宿第一晚在房間就有一隻小強，即時給我們感覺房間不清潔。如果沒有小強出現，這民宿 是可以接受。周邊環境清靜。民宿步行往巴士站約5分鐘，交通算方便。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 9 points out of 10 - The room is big enough for a 4 people family and is very clean. The staff are very nice and helpful. It takes 2-3 minutes walk to bus stop, how convenient!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Superfresh and complete! - A superfresh hostel (installed as such in 2015), with everything you need. Central location, a block away from bus 205 (and others) that will take you Kyoto station in 15 min.
- Verified traveler (10/5): highly recommended - stayed here as family of five with 3 children under 8 for 3 nights. super location a short walking distance of downtown. Very friendly, helpful staff. room had 5 futons which were comfy and an ensuite. there is a common room in which you can bring your own food to eat with microwave. close to convenience stores.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 場所も良く、サービスも施設も素晴らしかったです。洗濯もでき、ほとんど手ぶらで旅行ができました。 欲を言うならスリッパがあると完璧でした！
- Sandrine (10/5): hôtel bien placé et abordable - Personnel très disponible et anglophone. Facile à trouver grâce aux instructions fournies. Salle à disposition pour le petit déjeuner et un moment de détente le soir.
- SHUMIN (10/5): - 離京都市役所公車站不遠(走路10-15分鐘)，地理位置算不錯，去哲學之道等知名地點搭公車算是很方便，飯店位處巷弄內，依據飯店提供的地圖引導很清楚不容易走錯。不過房間內沒提供電視所以入房就是休息睡覺、也不提供刮鬍刀(男生入住要注意)，以上提供想入住的朋友參考。
- Mathias (10/5): Hōtel bien placé, spacieux, propre et sympathique - Excellent !
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Hotel! - We had a great experience here. Room was large and clean. There was common kitchen and laundry facilities which made things easy travelling with two little kids. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Great experience, highly recommended.
- Jeongyeon (6/5): - 골목에 있어서 조용하긴 하나 밤에 혼자 찾아가시면 무서울수도 있어요, 교토역에서 버스로 15분 정도 가야해요, 위치가 좀 아쉽습니다. 스탭은 친절하고 호텔은 매우 깨끗합니다. 하지만 날씨가 추웠는데 히터가 안돼서 첨에 많이 추웠어요.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean, convenient, no frills - Staff prepared to help you make the most out of your stay, including tips on sightseeing and restaurants. Prepare for no frills, as described. Tiny bathroom, but it is convenient to have one in the room. Very clean place. Futons are not very thick, so you end up piling a few. No elevator, but there is one for suitcases only. Close to buses and two subway lines. Great location for sightseeing. And you can rent bicycles on location. This place is perfect for what it is.
- Vi (10/5): Good location and friendly staff - The price was great and the hotel is really clean. The only down side is that the Japanese futon is a bit hard, need to double up.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel. Very clean and well equipped. Intelligent room layouts, and very helpful staff. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient and reasonably priced hotel - Great staff that let us check in after arriving early in Kyoto via expressway bus from Tokyo. Room was spacious while bedding (futon) was comfortable. The room could be stuffy when using the heater so switch on the air conditioner setting tuned to the highest temperature for a more comfortable stay. Do note that there are 3 floors to this property and although there is a lift for luggage, there is NO PASSENGER LIFT, so probably not suitable for those with difficulty walking. Main shopping district in Kyoto is a 15 min walk away while metro station is about 7 minutes away. Overall recommended stay.
- Scott (10/5): - This was a great place to stay for a few days. The more traditional Japanese-style room was huge and with enough extra futons, I was able to sleep alright, but I admit that the floor was a bit hard without a number of futons to sleep comfortably. I can't say enough about the staff. They have fantastic english and were incredibly helpful. Also, the coin-operated laundry facility is a God-send. I cannot stress how nice it is to have access to a laundry facility every few days during a long trip in a foreign country.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean hotel, excellent location close to metro and food market. I would definitely stay there again
- Andy (6/5): - It's very common motel
- wang pun (8/5): - room matches with description. useful space, quiet environment. next to kamo river for run n bike. also good for fine dining. bathroom is pack, but public lobby is great for reading and eating. beware of the limited front desk service hours.
- Verified traveler (8/5): comfy for a lower priced hotel - polite, helpful staff with good English . Easy to find after the first time getting there. Close to station, but not JR. cost ¥260 to get to JR station. They hire bikes at a good rate. Clean rooms and toilets with the sprayer and warm seats. Not a lot of foom to move in the toilet/bath. japanese style room. mstteresses were a little soft and sank down to the floor. We doubled thrm up. Room was clesned each dsy Nd beds folded up which was a bit of a pain to set them up each eve. My kids disappointed at no tv. Had fridge and kettle but needed to provide own coffee etc or take same from freebies in lobby. The
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Service was very good! The ppl at the reception know good English There was free coffee and tea Location was also good We had futons which were really hard and was not comfortable to sleep so sleeping was bad. The sink was inside the shower which was not the best but manageable No elevator! But they had a mini elevator for the suit cases
- Punyawee (10/5): Pleasant Stay! - The location of the hotel is very good. Hotel staff is very helpful and speak english well. The room is spacious and very clean. The complementary in the kitchen and laundry is in good condition.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel very nice stayed in dorm style accomadation clean room staff very helpful noisey from other guests stayed a couple of nights if you don't plan on sleeping until after 11pm then it's ok if you go to bed before this not so need sound proofing looked at
- Benjamin (6/5): A small, but friendly hotel. - This is a small hotel with only 19 rooms, which made it difficult, but not impossible for taxi drivers to find, despite the detailed instructions provided by the hotel in English and Japanese (my taxi drivers generally did not speak much English). The helpfulness and desire to help of the staff was tops, except for the fact that my request for my room to not be cleaned was not respected on one of the days. There were no beds and I do not find futons to be comfortable to sleep in. When my room was cleaned I needed to pull the futons out of the closet again, a minor inconvenience. My room was cold, before the cleaning, but afterwards was not cold. There was no operating thermostat that I could find. The hotel is a short walk from the Imperial Palace Park. The park is lovely, but only tours are allowed into the Palaces. The hotel is reasonably centrally located if you can master the transit system (the hotel staff is helpful). Japanese toilets are the best, but the bathroom only had a shower, not a bath.
- Stacey (10/5): Great hotel, great servcice - Lovely hotel, with very lovely staff. Very close to a train station and within walking distance to Gion, with plenty of restaurants, shops, temples etc. The room was immaculate, bathroom too. We had futons which were super comfortable. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly here.
