Guest Reviews
- Maximilian (6/5): - Excellent location, very calm, good value for many but the reception was notooccupied, no dishes although we had a kitchen, the promised luggage storage was not available.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay, in Kyoto, is a bit of a walk from the nearest bus and not close to many train lines, so your stuck taking the overly packed 206 bus.
The place was nice, lots of space luggage. Laundry situation was good, however there wasn’t any laundry soap, or hand soap. Dishes could be purchased I believe through the hotel.
All in all I’d recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Kyoto.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - ロケーションは清水寺近く3年坂沿いということで、もうしぶんなし
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It was a good value for the price and in a good location. However, if you are not able to go up the historic steps or have trouble carrying your bag, it may not be an ideal location to stay in. There are no elevator as well. The AC unit also smelled bad in room 2001. Overall, fine stay, cheap price, so you get what you pay for.
- Matthieu (8/5): simple, spacious, good value but not enough clean - This is more a residence than a hotel. The room had space and we appreciated it. But the room and the bathroom were not clean, full of dust. The corridors are also very dirty and do not give a good impression of cleaness. The location of the hotel is okay during the day but at night it is very far from any place open for eating
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our only concern was check in. We arrived before the requested time but found no one there. We discovered that we were at another property with a similar name. The next day we saw another couple with the same thing. So signage could be improved. Otherwise it's a great location and quiet night.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Top Lage in den alten Gassen mit Nähe zu Tempeln und Pagoden. Laufdistanz nach Gion. Gute Ausstattung und sehr ruhig.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Gästehaus liegt sehr zentral in Gion und zur Nacht ist es sehr ruhig. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Die eigene küche und waschmaschiene waren sehr praktisch.
Die lage nahe am Tempel hat zur erkundung der umgebung eingeladen
- Chun Fu (8/5): 地理環境近清水寺 - 地點不錯就在二三年坂這,離清水寺又很近,是屬於自助式的方式住宿
- Verified traveler (8/5): 地理環境近清水寺 - 地點不錯就在二三年坂這,離清水寺又很近,是屬於自助式的方式住宿
- Sagrario Cecilia (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y personal muy amable
- chungmu (8/5): 조용한 아침. - 조용하고 넓은방이 좋았다.일찍 도착해서 짐을 맡겼는데 저녁에 돌아오니 방에 올려다 주어 감사했음.화장실과 샤워실이 분리 되어있어 편함.
- Duangporn (10/5): Japaness Traditional Gueathouse - มีความเป็นญี่ปุ่นแบบดังเดิมจริงๆ แต่มีความสะดวกสะบายทันสมัยแฝงอยู่ภายใต้กลิ่นอายความดั่งเดิมนั้น ประสบการณ์นี้ยากที่จะลืม
- Sarah (10/5): Amazing location...once we found it! - Relatively basic self-contained apartment but had everything we needed, including a small kitchen and washer / dryer. Located perfectly in the old town in Kyoto which was amazing for our stay, and roughly a 30 minute walk to a subway station.
- Rebecca (8/5): Great value apartment - Perfect base for seeing Kyoto. It's in an exceptionally busy part of Kyoto however it's off the main Street and amazes us how quiet it was considering its location. Our mini apartment had a bathroom, kitchen facilities and washer and dryer. It was spacious. It's great it you're looking for something basic to rest in. Friendly staff and easy self check in and out. It's no hassle to find either. Just use Google maps.
- Laura (10/5): Kyoto - A localização é excelente. Super recomendo, pois estará em um lugar maravilhoso!
Só aviso que não tem elevador, mas ficamos no 1 andar.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good and quiet location - helpful staff - Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice room with separate beds. Owen, washing machine and bath in room.
Good and quiet location
- Feifei (10/5): 舒適的空間 - 非常棒,採自助入住即便是深夜的班機也沒問題
浴室可以烘乾衣服超級實用
房間坪數也蠻大的
- Kim Duyen (10/5): Clean and quiet in a touristic location - Excellent place to stay.
Pros:
- The room was really clean. No weird smell.
- There was a washing machine in the room (no dryer, but you can turn the bathroom into a drying place by turing the heater on),
- The guesthouse is in a wonderful place in Kyoto. My family enjoyed our evening walks.
- It was surprising quiet during the night. We did not hear the people above or beside us.
- You can borrow umbrellas (and bikes I think).
- I loved the shampoo there. And the small tv in front of the bathtub.
Cons:
Nothing. For the price, you can't ask for more.
Note that this is not a hotel, so don't expect someone to clean your room.
- Jacob (10/5): May 2018 Stay to Explore Kyoto - My stay at Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Guest House was fantastic. The rooms are exactly as they appeared in the pictures and each room is basically a mini-apartment, with its own range, mini-fridge, microwave, and clothes washing machine. The shower room has a drying function that dries your clothes in no time. The beds were comfy, the A/C worked very well, and the service I received was always very friendly.
The check-in and check-out processes were very easy and the front desk even allowed us to check-in an hour early with no additional cost. If your room is not ready, however, they will happily hold your luggage for you in the lobby until check-in time. There are laundry detergents and various other items available for purchase at the front desk at very reasonable prices and a vending machine in front of the building with coffees, sodas, water, and teas.
The location is not ideal for traveling around Kyoto or to other cities like Osaka, as the Hotel is up a steep hill and is about a 5 minute walk from the nearest bus station and a ~15 minute walk to the nearest subway station. That being said, if your focus is on exploring Kyoto, this guest house is located right in the middle of a historic district and its very pleasing to walk out of this hotel each morning and be greeted by throngs of people exploring the beautiful stone streets lined by wooden architecture.
Overall, I highly recommend this guest house for long or short-term stays in the Kyoto area.
- Kenneth (8/5): A nice, reasonably priced place...will stay again. - The Inn family owned and located a wonderful 20 minute walk from Kiyomizu Temple. It is Japanese arpartment style, utilitarian and spare. I rented the dbl plus to twin bed unit - spacious for sleeping but just a couple of chairs at a small table (you won’t eat in the room in Japan). Please note to have the phone number and address handy for your taxi driver...this place is located in a very dense area and up a hill. Be ready to walk!!! Recommended!
- MR RITCHIE MARKOVIC (10/5): - Great location & nicely sized room for the price
- Donald (8/5): Great locatiion, village setting - Great location that accommodated late checkin. Modern amenties. Comfortable, quiet, walkable to village and many area shrines. Helpful staff. One problem: utensils/dishes were only available for renting during the very restricted office hours and therefore not available when needed on the top evening of and following morning of our arrival. No English tv. Wi-fi good for email and also for internet searches.
- MJ (6/5): Good enough - When we booked this place we knew that this would be the smallest place we would be staying at during the entirety of our trip. It’s a small three story guesthouse with apartments really close to the Kiyomizu Dera temple. When I say really close, I mean a five minute walk. Really really close. On the other side it was also only a 15 minute walk to the heart of Kyoto’s geisha district; Gion.
In our case we didn’t so much care about amenities as much as we did location so it worked out perfectly for us.
The room was small, yes. But there was plenty of storage space with a closet, an extra hanging rack and because of the twin sized bed also just enough room for both of our suitcases.
The room was apartment style, which means there’s a small kitchenette.
I will say though, that the bathroom was a little too small. The shower was good enough, but the actual WC (toilet) was so close to the door that our knees would touch the door when sitting down. Now in all fairness my husband and myself both measure over 5.8, but this is something to keep in mind when looking at this place.
Kyoto is pretty expensive and in comparison to the other hotels we stayed at in Tokyo and Matsuyama this was way more expensive and nowhere near the high quality standards we are normally used to...
But that being said, the location truly is amazing and very convenient and it is after all just a place to lay your head down after a nice long day of sightseeing in an amazing city.
- Verified traveler (10/5): A great little place - We stayed three nights. Everything was terrific, however, on the down side, the beds were saggy and the pillows too high for us. That was the only complaint as the room and it’s facilities were otherwise very good. Cutlery and cooking utensils can be hired, and there was a washing machine. A drying system for wet clothes was in the bathroom and it worked well.
6 speed bikes were available for hire as well.
A great little place
- I-HUI (4/5): 糟糕的入住經驗 - 位置在清水寺旁邊,所以拖著行李不太方便。房間在三樓,沒有電梯,不方便。
因爲下午5點之後就沒有服務人員,住宿前沒接到入住通知(通知放鑰匙保險櫃密碼),電話不好打通,也沒有其他聯絡方式,最後雖然入住,但是整體入住感覺非常不好。下次除非沒地方住,否則不會選擇這裡。
- Michelle (10/5): Adorável - Adoramos a localização da Guest ! Eles são gentis, tem guarda chuva disponível para os dias que chover! Adoramos e indicamos !
- CHAO CHUEH (10/5): - 6點過後附近商家都休息了,很安靜的休息環境,帶小孩出遊或是不太有夜生活的家庭非常適合。建議晚上準備個點心(宵夜)餓了可以吃
- Mary (10/5): Great spot - The guest house was perfect for us. the self-check in was very easy. We loved that the hotel had a luggage service that transfer your luggage to an office in front of the Kyoto station. Very convenient and cheap service.
- Sini (10/5): Upea hotelli kuumilla lähteillä! - Yövyttiin yksi yö tässä upeassa hotellissa, joka valikoitui sen punaisen sillan vuoksi (toiminut esikuvana Henkien kätkemä -elokuvan kylpylän sillalle!). Huoneemme oli perinteinen japanilainen huone, johon työntekijät kävivät petaamassa futonit ollessamme illallisella. Huoneen hintaan kuului illallinen ja aamiainen (ei herkkävatsaisille!), jotka kuuluivat osastoon fine dining. Saimme myös käyttää erilaisia kuumavesikylpyjä (olleet käytössä 300 vuotta, mikä tekee kylpylästä myös yhden Japanin vanhimmista). Ostimme lisäksi erikseen mahdollisuuden käyttää yksityistä kylpyhuonetta kuumavesialtaallaan, mikä oli ihana kokemus!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great location, very cold - Such an excellent location!!! Would recommend, because the suburb is BEAUTIFUL.
We went in middle of Winter and they refused to give an extra blanket. We had to leave the heater on at night instead.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Tolle Lage, deshalb sehr zu empfehlen. - Wir sind von Kyoto aus mit dem Zug nach Nara und Uji gefahren. Jedes Ziel war atemberaubend. In Kyoto ist jeder Tempel mühelos zu Fuß oder mit dem Bus erreichbar. Wir waren in der 1. Januarhälfte hier, hatten meist Sonnenschein um 0 Grad aber oft eisig und es gab nie Schlangen vor den Tempeln. Super Reisezeit.
- Lavina (10/5): Excellent location and furnishment - Excellent location walking distance to all traveling resorts, restaurants, shops! Lovely stuff and the room is the best in this trip with tv in front of bath tub and a computer in the room. The bed is also comfortable! Highly recommend and I will choose them in the next trip!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Efficient self service guesthouse - It was difficult to find by the taxi. Once you know the location, it is easy to navigate. Very convenient bus route. However, there are not many breakfast places in the neighborhood or any convenient stores. Dinner in the neighborhood stops around 8pm.
- Olmo (10/5): Excelente opción de hospedaje no te arrepentirás - Excelente opción para hospedarse en Kyoto muy cerca de la zona de templos y pagodas. Muy acogedor y muy limpio. La habitación enorme, el baño limpio y muy buena atención. Súper recomendable!!
- SHAN-CHENG (8/5): 讚 - 離想去的景點非常近!
- NAM HO (10/5): - 엄청 청결에 민감하신분이 아니라면 괜찮게 지낼 수 있을것 같아요. 머리카락이나 먼지가 아아아주약간 보였네요
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok - The location far from the central the hotel good room
- fateh (10/5): Kyoto en kimono - Une belle escale à kyoto .appartement fonctionnelle .chambres pour 4 .bonne wifi
Très bon accueil .emplacement idéal dans le kyoto traditionnel. Nous avons adoré
Je recommande ce guest house
- Verified traveler (10/5): Would stay again - Great location with a local feel and everything you need.
- Zabdi (10/5): Nice studio in perfect location - In the middle of Gion. Communication was great. The room spacious and clean. It has a kitchenette and laundry machine in the room.
- 原田 (10/5): 三年坂 下りすぐ右手に - はじめての体験 すべてが新しく 気持ち良く宿泊できました。
連泊も またいいのかなと思います。利用するにあたり 当初は翌日に烏丸に朝10時に集合だつたので
自宅から大変と思い たまたまトリバゴ 見ていたら お安く宿泊 それも二人で4千円あまりで
価値ありかなと思いつつ 予想以上に 全てに満足いくものであった 今後も京都の旅に利用しようと思う
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and comfortable room close to the Kiyomizu Dera. 5-10 min walk from the closest bus stop, however, easy to find. The place is more like an apartment building, but check in/out was easy. Few restaurant and bars in close proximity (20 min walk to the downtown area), accordingly the area is very calm in the evening/night.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good place - Very good place to stay but location was not good for me because it was very crowded anytime.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location was amazing. Note that it is an uphill climb to the hotel from the bus stop if that is how you are getting there, but it is worth it. The hotel is at the center of a lot of tourist sites. It was so nice to just walk around and see the neighborhood. Room was very comfortable and having a washing machine in the room was such a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable, wonderful value - I loved this guesthouse;. It was more of an apartment than a hotel room, It had a kitchen with cooktop, refrigerator, sink, clothes washer, cabinets and adequate pans and utensils to prepare a meal. The beds were comfortable, soft and cozy. The best part was the bathroom. The separate toilet room featured the typical wonderful Toto washlet toilet with a hand-washing basin at the top. The bathroom proper had a nice shower, plenty of soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a lovely soaking tub with a built-in TV. Frankly, while soaking after a long day of hiking is nice, I get a little bored just lounging in a tub full of water, so the TV made it for me.
The location was very nice and convenient for us to get the bus to the Rohm theater, which was our primary destination in Kyoto. It's a little far from downtown, but the area around the temple is fascinating and lovely.
The only negative was that we had a lot of trouble getting the desk-top TV to work (the one in the bathroom worked well). It doubles as a computer monitor and getting the settings right was really difficult for us. But we didn't really come to Kyoto to watch TV, so there you go!
- Amir (10/5): - Near to Kiyomizu-dera. Very good location.
Clean room.
- Yeon Kyung (8/5): 청수사근처편한한 숙소 - 버스정류장에서 10분 정도 걸어 올라가야하는 위치지만 공기좋은 자연속 청수사 근처에 위치! 산넨자카 바로아래골목!
직원은 영어나 한국어가 가능하진 않았지만 일본 숙소 치고는 넓은 방과 폭신한 침대매트리스가 너무 맘에듦! 방에 세탁기와 간이 주방이 있엇음 !
- B (8/5): Convenient apartments near Kiyomizu Temple - The apartments are situated in a quiet tourist area just near Kiyomizu Temple. I was surprised at how well equipped the apartments are, and would have no problems staying there over a long period of time. Very good cost performance!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location. - Stayed for three nights in the winter. It was a great location. Just around the corner from a couple of the most famous spots in Kyoto. Perfect for seeing what life is like after the tourists have gone to bed. Room is mini apartment studio. Busses , taxis easily accessible. But feet are the best way to feel the city.
