Guest Reviews
- Eoin (8/5): - Great location. Friendly staff. Very comfortable beds. Little bit noisy from the street.
- Solange (7/5): Um bom custo benefício. - Acomodação simples, mas que proporciona uma estadia agradável, boa localização com estações próximas. Faltou utensílios domésticos em relação a cozinha.
- Wojciech (10/5): - Bardzo wygodny i dobrze wyposażony pokój, łączący tradycyjne elementy wystroju (tatami) z bardzo nowoczesnymi i wygodnymi łóżkami. Podobało mi się, że apartament zajmował całe piętro, dzięki temu mieliśmy większe poczucie prywatności.
Na duży plus toaleta i łazienka, bardzo wygodne, w osobnych pomieszczeniach, co było dla nas sporym ułatwieniem.
Duża dbałość o porządek, codziennie dostawaliśmy zestaw świeżych ręczników, a śmieci były skrupulatnie wynoszone (na wszelki wypadek dostawaliśmy też dodatkowe worki).
Przemiły właściciel, bardzo kontaktowy nawet pomimo pewnej bariery językowej. Obiekt leży w pewnym oddaleniu od największych atrakcji Kioto, ale komunikacja jest na tyle sprawna, że nie był to problem.
- Sylvie (6/5): - Sa situation au coeur de kyoto
Les 4 lits confortables 1 petite salle de bain pour 6 avec les toilettes dans la salle de bain...
Sachant que l'apt peut accueillir 8 hôtes...c'est trop juste
- Manuela24fr (10/5): - La gentillesse du propriétaire, la propreté de l'appartement et la proximité avec la ligne de train
- Teddy (9/5): On a passé un excellent séjour, le patron serviable, nous avons pu facilement envoyer nos valises en partant de cet hôte - Proximité de la gare
Personnel très très sympathique et accueillant. Rien
- Jorge (9/5): - The rooms are big and have a lot of space, they are in an entire floor, it has some chairs and a big table so you can take food to the room and eat it comfortably. The beds are wide and the staff brings new towels every day.
It's very close to stations, and a 45 minutes walk to the main shopping area of Kyoto so it's not really far.
The host was very helpful and attentive, gave some information about how to reach quickly some stations and a close laundry shop, since the apartments where we stayed didn't have a laundry.
- Sheryne (10/5): - Tout était parfait et le propriétaire était très très gentil et à l’écoute
- Alexandra (8/5): -
- Rosemarie (10/5): -
- Yusuke (9/5): - ロケーションが非常に良い。四条通に面しており、阪急西院駅まで徒歩3分程度
周辺に飲食店やスーパーも充実している
水回りもキレイ 窓の防音が弱い。就寝時に、救急車やバイクの通行が何度もあり、何度も起こされた。
耳栓を用意したほうが良いかも知れない。
- Steve (7/5): -
- Samantha (8/5): We enjoyed our stay. - Good access to what we wanted to see. There was enough space for 4 of us. Each suite is on its own floor. The kitchen only had a fridge, kettle, microwave, spoons, mugs and a kitchen knife. I would hope for plates, forks/chopsticks and knives also. I guess with the proximity to Family Mart & 7-11 those are not necessary if you are buying ready-made meals.
- Nicola (8/5): Good value, clean and welcoming. - Friendly owner and spacious room. Great transport connection of train, tram and bus. Some good value local restaurants nearby for steak and sushi. A little dated decor and beds a bit hard for my preference.
- Valeria (9/5): -
- Yun Shing (10/5): - 酒店所在地,靜中帶旺,交通方便,房間舒適,整潔,各樣家居設備齊全,廚房,乾濕分離浴室,獨立廁所。 N/A
- Antonio Miguel (10/5): -
- いけもと (7/5): 満足です。夕食は、美味しかったです。 - ベッドが居心地良かった。 お風呂とトイレが別々の方がyokatta.
- Эльмира (10/5): -
- Trenado (10/5): -
- カワムラ (5/5): - 廻りの環境。 ベッドが狭い。
- Steve (10/5): Amazing time and so much room! - Staff was AMAZING!!! Very helpful and kind. Room was very spacious and comfortable beds. So close to the train station and food is everywhere near by and great! The man who greeted us and runs the place is the best part. He was so helpful and willing to help with anything we had a question for. Would for sure stay again if coming back to Kyoto. Only downside is your on the main road which can get noisy at night, especially when we heard the chanting monks at 11pm one night but kinda cool to hear.
- Ikram (7/5): Kyoto deux jours grand maximum - Bien conforme , lit et salle de bain avec petite terrasse. Le gérant nous a demandé de payer une soi-disant TAXE et uniquement en cash.
Alors que dans toutes les autres villes, on ne nous a jamais demandé de payer quoi que ce soit !!!
- Nancy (10/5): Pleasant and confortabie - After 3 weeks of dealing with tablets and automated messages in other hotels, It was a breath of fresh air having such a pleasant person welcoming us, explaining us the check in process and accommodation facilities.
The place was very comfortable, I would have loved having a washing machine there, but other than that it was a nice and comfortable place for 4 people. 👌 Pillows, to small pillows.
- Oscar (10/5): - staff was amazing
- SACHIE (8/5): - 施設の方がとても丁寧に説明してくれました。
- hein (8/5): -
- Hugh (10/5): -
- Lee (8/5): - 老闆人很親切,入住當晚朋友出了點意外,老闆及時幫忙叫救護車,非常的感謝。我想如果是一般的員工, 也許態度會讓我更緊張且慌亂,但因老闆非常積極且沉穩的幫忙,救護車立刻就來了。有這樣好的老闆,這真的是這家旅館的大優點。 地上的榻榻米,因為不是崁入式的,行走可能會被絆倒..房客需要多小心
- NUR NISHAQ IZZATY (9/5): -
- Dominika (7/5): -
- marinella (7/5): Kyoto in compagnia - Posizione un po' defilata ma comunque comoda con l'utilizzo degli autobus. Nelle vicinanze diversi ristoranti e combini. Letti comodi e cambio asciugamani giornaliero Sicuramente una scarsa pulizia sia iniziale che giornaliera. Cuscino scomodo e troppo piccolo.
Mancanza di lampada da comodino e armadio dove sistemare gli indumenti
- Victoria (7/5): -
- ludovic (10/5): 3 jours à Kyoto - Propreté.
Confort de la literie.
Gare à quelques mètres de l’appartement.
On peut manger facilement autour de l’appartement.
Franchement TOP!
Le personnel disponible et souriant.
À recommander sans hésitation! La rue un peu bruyante la nuit, mais c’est le cas dans l’ensemble des grandes villes japonaises.
- Maria (10/5): Personal excepcional y fotos iguales a la realidad - El personal es muy amable, nos ayudó con todo lo necesario. La habitación es exactamente como aparece en las fotos. Además tienen un restaurante koreano suyo justo al lado a si que si queréis probar comida rica podéis ir ahí. Nos cambiaron las toallas todos los días.
- David (10/5): 最高! - スタッフと清潔さ レストランが9時に閉まる
- Barnès Linares (10/5): Agradable - La limpieza, el señor super amable y el piso super acogedor!
- Nathan (10/5): -
- 韋翰 (10/5): 店員們都很熱情很像回家的感覺,老闆是韓國人感覺非常得好 - 空間很寬敞安靜 沒有
- Adrian Esteban (8/5): -
- Hong Yi (9/5): - 離車站近,老闆親切有回家的感覺 床邊整潔有待加強
- Frédérick (8/5): - C'était pas cher! La climatisation pourrait être mieux, surtout à six dans une chambre tassée.
- Daniel-François (9/5): - Le monsieur à l’accueil était très sympathique.
Il m’a même aidé avec mon kimono.
- Rebecca (8/5): -
- Mohammed yaseen (10/5): Excellent stay - The owner was very kind and sweet
He agreed to keep our luggage for one full day and without expecting any money
And the place is very close to bus stop and metro which makes travelling very convenient
And it is quite big comparatively to other places at this price
- Takaya (10/5): 家族向けにおすすめ - 受付の方が大変良かった。22時受付終了の所30分遅延したが、嫌な顔ひとつせずに、笑顔で丁寧にご対応いただけた。近場の駐車場や、銭湯も教えて頂いた。
ただホテル前は大通りで駐車スペースがないので注意が必要。
4人で泊まりましたが、ベッド4台の前に畳で座れる広いスペースがあり快適でした。畳スペースには、机、化粧台もあり。
お風呂の前には脱衣所があり、トイレと別なのが良かった。また、脱衣所ではなく、部屋の化粧台で髪が乾かせるので、風呂を待たずに入れたのも良かった。
部屋も綺麗で良かったです。
- Andrea (10/5): -
- wataru (10/5): -
- N (8/5): - ワンフロアワンルームのいわゆる民泊施設。観光の拠点にするには十分。
部屋は綺麗ですが、一階(受付カウンターの前)のタバコ臭が気になりました。
- Thanh (9/5): -
- D (8/5): - Nice big space with big beds. Great shower pressure. Close to transit, but not a lot of restaurant picks. You will be travelling to tourist sites. Very clean. No view.
- Kunio (10/5): - 家族で利用させていただきました。繁華街からもそこまで遠くなく立地はいいと感じました。大通り沿いということもあり、少々手荒な運転の音は気になりましたが、疲れが優ってあまり気になりませんでした。今度もぜひ利用したいなと思います。
- Isurugi (8/5): -
- ???? (10/5): - ワンフロアー貸切で、家族でゆっくり泊まれました。
- MARIA (8/5): - I liked the beds.
- Brent (6/5): Be careful - - Very nice owner, but it's more of a guest house. It was hard to check in, we had to wait while Hotels.com tracked him down as there is no reception. Also no parking at all even though the listing says there is. Nice room, nice place, again very nice guy once we tracked him down. This is a decent option but it's not as advertised.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 京都観光 - 京都観光には抜群の立地で部屋は広く大人4人でくつろげました又関西方面の旅行にはリピしたいと思います。
- Daniel (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful. Note it looks like a small takeout restaurant when you look in the door, but there is a wooden sign out front that says guesthouse in small letters. Each floor is a separate room. Good WiFi. Many small paid parking lots within a block of the property. Many restaurants nearby.
- Glenn (10/5): Nice - Because of personal reasons, only my mom could check in with my family on the first day. They only speak Chinese, and don’t speak English or Japanese, so it was a bit hard to communicate. Thank you very much for your patience and help.
There were no mosquitoes in June. It was raining all the time, but the dehumidifier worked well, and the humidity stayed around 60–70%. The air conditioner also worked fine.
The location is convenient, close to the station. There’s no breakfast, but it’s easy to buy breakfast nearby since there are many shops. Sometimes I will confuse myself with the sound of rain and the sound of neighbors shower. Our sleep situation won’t be disturbed, but please keep quiet to avoid disturbing other neighbors.
- Joseph (10/5): - Owner and staff are so kind and hospitable. We really felt at home during our stay.
- Durani (9/5): Superb -
- Khuraman (7/5): Good -
- Calum (8/5): Fab budget accommodation in great location - The room was big. 4 large single beds. location was great 1 min walk to MRT.
windows were frosted so no view out. No washing machine. Staff at place could not do more for us.. so friendly and helpful! Good budget accommodation in great location too.
- Aska (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ngotz (10/5): - Staying at Sarangbang was quite great. The train stations, convenience store and some other stores are just walkable distance. The staffs were accommodating and the room was good enough for us to stay. Thank you!
- Sheila (8/5): It’s a clean place with a good location. - Location is good. Close to many sights. There’s a Family Mart down the street and a lot of good restaurants near the property. It’s about too tight for a party of 5.
- Chue (10/5): Exceptional - That the staff was very helpful and a great host
- Monika (10/5): It was very spacious, the host was very friendly and the location is great too. We will definitely come back :) -
- Lim (8/5): Kyoto big space - Great location, only 3 train stop to downtown to have Ichiran Ramen.
Paid carpark is few steps away behind the building. Host is a Korean and patiently speak English to help us. 4 Queen bed in a room, so it's very spacious and big room with microwave, kitchen sink and dining table. Great for 8 to 10people. Happy that it has a lift to level 5 single unit. Being charge city tax 200Yen per person.
This is not being told in advance and it comes as a surprise to me. Went many places but none request for city tax.
Toilet a bit small and cold floor. Cold toilet seat without bidet.
- Dina (10/5): everything were so good. contented of what we need. - everything we expected nothing
- ROHIT DILIP (8/5): - Positive:
1. Easy access from kyoto station
2. Easy access to tourist spots
3. Nice ambiance
4. Supporting staff
Negative:
1. For 5 people, 4 beds were not comfortable
2. Could not understand the reason, but room could not get warm enough in spite of 26-27 temperature

Always greeting us kindly with smile and always want to help.
In the begining we did not find the hotel so he got on the street to help us find him.
Also there are many many great restaurnats very close.
Close (3 min on foot) to subway station.
- Tuyoshi (8/5): - スタッフさんの対応がすごく良かったです。
- Parvinder (9/5): Superb - I happened to arrive early and was allowed to check in an hour early. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff or owner was friendly. The TV channels were in the Japanese language. It would be good to have one or two channels in the English language.
The bathroom space was small compared to the room, and there was a space next to it to change clothes.
- ?? (8/5): - 親切な対応でした。
ありがとうございました。
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 전체적으로 깔끔한 편이었고 지하철역과 버스정류장, 란덴열차역이 근처에 있어서 편리했어요. 방상태도 괜찮았고 넓어서 좋았는데, 한가지 안좋은 점은 1층 식당에서인지 사장님이신지 여튼 1층 실내에서 누군가가 담배를 엄청 피워서 1층 전체와 엘레베이터, 숙소 방문앞까지 담배냄새가 가득한 점이에요.
- Zoe (10/5): Pleasant, clean stay, will come again! - We enjoyed the dinner at their 2nd level restaurant, the food was excellent and delicious! The waitress was very friendly, even though we couldn't speak Japanese language, they used an Translation App to communicate with us. Clean and big room for the three of us, they changed clean towels daily, very friendly staff. Liked the location, close walk to Restaurants Sushiro/Daiso and Train Station. Nothing
- Farah (9/5): Superb - The room was big. There is an elevator. It is clean and has all the amenities. The bed was comfy. It is very well located, in a calm area, close to the city center and any places of interest. The subway station was close.
However you need to know that you’ll pay a city tax for every night once you arrive at the hotel, it was not clearly stated when I booked it.
Otherwise the host was nice. City tax we had no idea about
- Mehmut (6/5): - Staff is friendly
- olga (10/5): - We loved the stay, it's a cozy nice space and the host is amazing
- Maria (10/5): We shall return! - Convenient location. Friendly host reminds us of Me. Miyagi in Karate kid😃 bear bus and subway stations, church, post office, convenience store. One bus away from Onsen and bamboo grove. Complete amenities. Highly recommend!!! Nothing.
- Karin (9/5): Superb - Comfy beds
Good room
Bathroom good
Good location
Very friendly staff
Good close parking
Good restaurants nearby
Train stations close Nothing
- Belen (10/5): Staff is friendly - Walking distance to the station and lot of convenient store and restaurant Need more space for our luggages
- Syaza (10/5): Love everything about this place. - Love the spacious room. The staff was friendly and kind.
- Satawat (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly and helpful host with good location what else can we asked.
- Maria (9/5): Great location so close to the metro. Quiet neighbourhood The host is so accommodating and warm. - Mr Doug was so accommodating. Love the place. It’s very near the metro. Quiet neighbourhood No room to complain.
- Alexandra (8/5): Great location, excellent host, clean and spacious room. - Excellent host. Very kind, helpful and present. Very clean. Lots of space for a family. Perfect location for train to Arashiyama Forest - one of my favourite days in Kyoto with the Monkey Forest, river boat, Tenryu Temple gardens, Arashiyama town with all the Kimono hire shops, sweet stores, souvenir stores, tea ceremonies, etc. Like many places we stayed in Japan - our 5 year old didn’t warrant a bed. So she shared a small double with our 10 year old and the host very kindly got us an extra blanket. I thought 2 doubles and 2 singles would be enough, but the double bed was far too small for my husband and I to share.
- Brenda (10/5): We love staying at Sarangbang. Thank you so much. - Sarangbang provides amenities like tooth brush, shampoo, conditioner and body soap, daily change of fresh towels, tea and clearing of trash. We enjoyed the privacy of one room per level. It is literally just 1-2 minutes walk from the Saiin train station and there are many restaurants, convenience stores and a mall nearby. It’s also just 2 stops from the main Kyoto shopping district. Not to forget the super friendly and helpful Mr Chung Sidong. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Nothing at all.
- Simon (9/5): When we return to Japan we would again stay at Sarangbang. - Owner and staff were very welcoming. Facilities were clean and in a great location.
- Kate (8/5): Recommended! - The host is friendly, helpful and always replies quickly to my inquries. He provided everything we needed during our stay. The place is tidy and clean when we get home after a long day tour in Kyoto. The location is also superb! Lots of restaurants, convenient stores, metro- and bus stations nearby. Overall, we had a comfortable stay at Sarangbang and we highly recommend this place! Noise from vehicles outside :(
- Amie (8/5): Great location and accommodating staff! Big room and lots of eateries close by. - Great location. Lovely staff. Big room. Allowed us to store our luggage after check out. Lots of food options close by. Quite loud street noise
- Fernande (8/5): Our room was comfortable but we were far from the train station - Our Japanese style family room was large enough to accommodate a group of 6 people. Room was clean and beds comfortable enough. We had a large table with regular sized chairs. Supermarket was 5 minute walk where we could pick up meals to microwave. Kitchen (microwave and electric kettle) was very small but the owner supplemented the dishes as needed. Owner was very accommodating. Elevator took us up to the 5th floor. Bathroom was cold mostly at night. We visited in mid-March. Reception area had the smell of cigarette smoke. We were given a code for the front door as well as our room. Owner was not usually around unless you told him the time for check-in. Building was quite far from the train station and we needed to travel by bus.
- Connor (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were awesome and friendly. Always keen to have a chat and help us out. The daily collection of rubbish and towels was convenient. Close to the station as well. If any constructive criticism at all was given it would be that the reception area smells like smoke. That is if any one is sensitive to it.
- Dirk (7/5): Good - Value for money, staff were lovely and helpful Unfortunately the location was noisy as between a busy road and a tram line
- Dagný (9/5): Superb -
