Guest Reviews

• MORITA (10/5): 申し分ありません - 清潔でした。とても静かでよく眠れましたし、設備も十分で快適に過ごしました。できれば、洗面器がバスルームにあれば便利だったと思います。（泡のついた手を洗い流してからコックをひねりたいです） チェックインも、チェックアウトも問題なくできました。とてもリーズナブルでした。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It is spaciuos, comfortable and clean. That was what I like most. The only thing I dislike is that it provides only one thin pillow per person and refuse to provide one more even if I'm willing to pay extra.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room area is larger than normal which is comfortable Has stove and microwave which is unusual and quite good
• もち (8/5): - 部屋自体はいいけど、スタッフの態度はあんまり良くなかった。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 部屋に洗濯機があるのがとても良かった。暑い京都ほすぐ汗びっしょりになってしまう。それをすぐ洗え快適な旅ができた。
• alain (10/5): On est bien ici - Très bon séjour appartement avec de la place personnel agreanle et a l ecoute bravo a toute l equipe
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Customer service after hours are not friendly enough
• さんちゃん (8/5): - PCがはじ始め全て中国語になっていて驚き、自分で変えられる範囲は変えましたが肝心の所が変わらず。深夜なので一人で格闘！イライラ！。対応の時間帯で変えて貰えましたが、スタッフしか触れない範囲でありました。。日本人が泊まるのに何故中国語？それにしても此処ばかりでなく都内でもレストランのメニューが外国語になっていたりで自国なのに住みにくい。
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice guest house - This was a very nice guest house in a really fantastic location. Walking distance to a lot of really great places, and close to several bus stops that get where you want to go in Kyoto. It IS a guest house, not a hotel, so there is not really a "front desk" and there's not any sort of daily maid cleaning or anything. For us the only challenge with that was timing check in, and if your room is ready you can check in early for 1,000 yen. And then after you're checked in, you're pretty much on your own in a tiny apartment in Kyoto! We were worried about the location being so close to a major overpass, but our room literally faced it and we heard nothing ever. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend it!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 地方不錯附近就是景點清水寺，四条非常繁榮逛街購物方便下次再到京都還是會再次入住的。會介紹朋友入住very good
• HUIHUI (10/5): - very nice and clean
• Jihang (10/5): 잘 쉬고 갑니다 - 정말 좋았습니다
• Verified traveler (10/5): Really good!!! - My wife and I spent two nights in Kotoha Kiyomizu Guest House and we were really positively surprised. Positive points: hotel team, service that they offer (trunk delivery), clean room with new furnitures. Point to be improved: a better explantion how to find the guest house, as it is located in a small street next to a bridge.
• Mel M. (10/5): What a great place! - I really liked it! It was better than my expectations. I recommend it a lot.
• Anthony (8/5): Nice apartment-style accommodations - This is a great place for a longer stay in Kyoto. The local area is very nice for walking.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 居心地良好 - 自炊や洗濯ができることに魅かれて、こういった宿泊所を初めて利用し、3泊しましたが、居心地良く、家のように過ごせました。有難かった備品は備え付けのPC（テレビ兼）、多めのハンガー、物干しハンガー（小）、二口コンロ、やかん、マグカップ（2個）、鍋敷き、ドライヤー。偏食息子のための自炊もできましたし、洗濯しまくりました（笑）お風呂場の暖房やテレビ等設備も上々。Free WiFiも快適。ゴミ箱も仕分けられるように複数あり、いっぱいになれば回収してもらえましたし、リネン類も必要に応じてもらえました。敢えて難を言えば、駐車場が無いことや近くにスーパーが無いことでしょうか。でも、荷物の積み下ろし時には停めさせてもらえましたし、バス停は近いし、大谷さんや清水寺が近いし、問題なし。スタッフさんも感じが良かったです。コスパもいいですし、ぜひまた利用させて頂きたいです。
• Anthony (10/5): Great option for long stays - I really enjoy staying here, as it is basically like renting a small Japanese apartment. Unless I'm only staying someplace for a few days I prefer accommodations like this, with a kitchen and washing machine. The small veranda with sliding doors is also nice, as guests are able to enjoy fresh air, unlike most modern hotels where you have no choice but to breath recirculated air. The staff here are also very nice, and made our stay even more enjoyable! If you're new to Japan, and especially if you're only visiting Kyoto for a few days, you would probably be better off just staying in a regular hotel, but if you're already familiar with this country, and especially for long stays, this guesthouse is an excellent option.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great choice in Kyoto! - The guesthouse is awesome and so convenient. Everything is really modern and streamlined too. The check in was an ease and the room was simple yet had a lot of amenities. It was great to do laundry in our own room!
• honest (4/5): スタッフが微妙・・・？ - スタッフとしての態度に、違和感を感じる人がいた。 ベッドのスプリングが痛すぎて、熟睡し辛い。 安く宿泊できる施設だから、しょうがないと思った。
• Daniel (10/5): Sauber und freundlich - Empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für einen längeren Aufenthalt in Kyoto. Dank Mikrowelle und Waschmaschine kann man auch problemlos mal was selbst machen und waschen. Extrem sauber und sehr freundliches Personal. Fahrräder können für 500 bzw. 700 ¥ gemietet werden für 24h. Gion ist zudem auch gut zu Fuss erreichbar
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great stay! - Guesthouse is within walking distance of main attractions and also has a bus stop nearby. Staff was very friendly upon arrival. The apartment is clean and comfortable. We didn't understand why there wasn't any cutlery or crockery in the kitchen. It appeared that you rent this for a small fee at reception. We'll definitely recommend staying at this guesthouse.
• Danielle (10/5): - Een heel fijne, schone en ruime kamer. Een rustige buurt. Heerlijk om gelogeerd te hebben!!! Echt een aanrader!
• Jakob Lindell (8/5): - Good cheap base for exploring, close to sights and transportation.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 버스편이 매우 가깝고 조용하고 좋음 - 교토여행객들에게 매우좋은 숙소입니다. 시설 교통 위 치 빼놓을게없습니다 샤워시설이나 침대도 넓고 좋고 직원들도 영어대응이 가능하여 편했습니다
• Michelle (10/5): Good location and very clean room - The provided video for reaching the hotel is very helpful, it really helps us arrive smoothly. It is 10mins away from kiyomizu temple. The room is clean and big. The wifi provided is fast too. Umbrella can be borrowed next to the office which is convenient. However, not every officer understand English. Overall, it was a excellent experience.
• Star (10/5): - 很棒的地方 處理交通有點一點點不方便之外
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at Kotoha guesthouse! Very clean apartment, nice bathroom and facilities in general. Very kind and helpfull staff! Great location near some of Kyotos popular temples. The only con was that the bed wasnt too pleasant and that you have to pay a small amount to get plates and stuff for the kitchen.
• Calum (10/5): Great place to stay!! - Best stay in Japan so far. We had everything you could possibly need when travelling. Our own washing machine and drier was a bonus with kitchen facilities in our room. Great stay.
• MING-JUI (10/5): - 離公車站近，各大景點都方便
• Verified traveler (10/5): 교토에 가면 다시 이용할 의향 있음! - 조용하고 깨끗하면서 편의시설이 잘 되어 있어서 좋았어요. 수건도 무제한으로 쓸 수 있고! 짐도 jr교토역쪽에 무료로 맡아주고, 직원분들도 아주 친절해요!! 전철역은 좀 멀지만 버스타는 곳이 가까워요. (버스1일패스를 숙소에서 구입할 수 있어요)
• Yuen Kim (10/5): Very convenient, clean and cozy place - short overnight stay, but surprisingly pleasant experience. Followed instructions via excellent Utube presentation and get to destination without problems. Not far from Kyoto station and easily accessible to places of interest. Quiet neighbourhood, and extremely clean and comfortable accommodation. Highly recommended.
• Szeho (8/5): Great experience!! - The room is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is great that there is the controller to adjust the room's ventilation. Besides, the kitchen environment, refrigerator,
• Tim (10/5): Quiet, clean, excellent. - Quiet, clean, excellent. If you are not too good on your legs the 30 min walk to train station maybe too much (but there is a bus). Excellent location for some of tourist sits on foot.
• Judy (10/5): - Very nice guesthouse. Location was great and staff very nice.
• Tara (8/5): Not recommended this guesthouse - The hotel is actually a guesthouse, which is quite far from the city center and railway station. We had to travel by taxi which costs about $US 10 each way. The hotel is located in a very small street. We were abandoned by the taxi at a corner of the street when he could not find the hotel for us during our first trip from the railway station. It was through the kindness of a lady who walked her dog that we found the guest house. We ran into guests at 10 pm trying to stop people on the street for direction to the hotel. Locating the hotel could be a nightmare. The office only opens from 9 am to 5 pm. After hours, nobody answered the emergency phone when we called one night because the internet did not work. They have nice appliances including a range, microwave oven, frig, and washing machine. But there is no cooking utensils or dishes. So the appliances are useless. The layout was very inefficient. There is no hooks or shelves in the bathroom for towels. No cabinets or shelves in the room. There is no daily maid service. They put extra sheets and pillowcases in the cabinet under the stove, and towels in the closet. The room is more spacious than rooms in Japan but so inconvenient that I would not stay again and would not recommend people to stay
• Patrick (10/5): Great stay - Great self contained unit in a perfect position to visit all the local sight
• Ronald (10/5): Does the job very well - The room was no frills in terms of decor, but absolutely over delivered for my purposes - which was simply to have a comfortable stay. There was a little kitchen section and the bathroom was a well equipped wetroom. Very easy to check in and out. Wifi worked well.
• Anthony (8/5): Good value - Great location for sightseeing in Higashiyama. The biggest downside for me is that they would only supply one pillow per guest, and the bathtub was quite small.
• Phung (10/5): WOW - THIS PLACE, BOOK IT. We love this guesthouse. The room was big and roomy with a giant bed in the middle and a table and chairs to the side by the patio. Best part? There was a sink and 3-4 feet tall fridge AND a freaking washing machine in the room, which were all separated from the "bedroom" itself. Oh, and that shower. Wow. Japanese technology. The shower room has a tub and a shower area with "dryer" functioning so you can hang your wet clothes to dry! Also, heating function if you want to enjoy a nice hot bath :] No cigarette smell at all and amazing, amazing cleanliness. Check in and out was easy. Room also had a TV that can convert to PC. Yes, it's 2017 but I am amazed! Only "con" for me would be the location for those who want to stay close by to Kyoto Station. Bus 206(?) goes to the station in about 15 min if traffic is decent. Comes pretty often, like every few minutes unless it's Sunday. Within walking distance to Gion and Kiyomizu Temple (15 min or so). Hotel staff was also nice enough to put out a bucket of umbrellas for use in the rain.
• Anthony (6/5): Decent value for the price - Great location for sightseeing in Higashiyama. Some taxi drivers had a very hard time finding the place; a more detailed map should be provided. Room was equipped with washing machine and tiny kitchen, which was convenient. We asked for more pillows and were told we could only have one pillow per person, which was not enough for us! Aside from this, the place was not disappointing for the price.
• Nor Aiman (10/5): This is the place for you - The room was amazing and clean. Getting to the hotel was a little tricky because u have to cross the road and head down under an underpass but the room was equivalent to a five star hotels room. Room comes with a kitchen, bedroom and advanced toilet
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very clean and nice Apt style hotel with washer - Very clean and new apartment style hotel with kitchenette, spacious bedroom, and high tech bathroom. The room is a lot bigger than your traditional Japanese hotel and even includes a small balcony. There is a washer in the apt and you can dry your clothes in the bathroom using the high tech air system. It's all in Japanese but there's an instructional Manual in the room to follow. The kitchen includes gas stove and small fridge and freezer but doesn't include any utensils (you can rent them from the office for about $5). There was no daily room cleaning which we didnt need mind. Finding the place was a bit difficult with google maps and the hotel's instructions but we managed. It's in the back of a quite neighborhood under an overpass yet surprising still very quite.The staff will not let you check in early no matter what so plan your day ahead. You can leave your luggage at the office if you arrive early but if you plan to stay in Kyoto after checking out you must store your luggage somewhere else (we did it at Kyoto station). There is a Lawson convenience store just 5 min walk away where you can get everything you need including the day pass for the city bus. It's definelty worth getting since there are no trains nearby. Everything else is within 20-30min walk. Kiyomizudera temple Is right around the corner (10min) and the closest train station to get to nara is about 25min walk. Overall it was a very nice hotel for the price and We would definelty stay there again!!
• JUNSEO (8/5): Near Giyo-miz-tera - It was perfect room for us. This room was cozy, clean and price was also reasonable. Small spa-bath helped us to release our feet. Next time, I will choose here again.
• Ulf (10/5): Good value for money - Great value hotel located close to the Shinkansen station in Kyoto and not far from the interesting Gion area.
• Michele (10/5): Awesome find! - Kyoto is an amazing place and staying here far exceeded our expectations! The room is basically a studio apartment. Brand new, newly renovated guesthouses include a washing machine, private bath/shower, kitchette, TV/Computer, and towels! (Not everywhere in Japan does!) They have toiletries provided as well. The location is amazing! Next to a beautiful temple and in waking distance to everything! If you are going to explore some of the temples further away I would suggest getting a city bus day pass for 500 yen, it pays for itself in 3 bus rides. This place is seriously amazing and clean! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Kyoto.
• Jean-Sebastien (10/5): - Great location, easy check-in/out, clean room
• Ken (6/5): - A dormitory type facility. Small two beds in a room, small kitchen area, a washing machine, a small bathroom. Quite clean and well maintained. No attendant at the premise for most of times. Location is good close to Kiyomizudera but had to explain well to taxi drivers to get there. Overall OK, moderate, clean, quiet.
• TZE MNING (6/5): - We love the room design and bathroom, overall space is comfortable, the kitchenette area is just good n convenient. Only setback is no place to hang towels inside bathroom. Bathroom heater is great for cold nights.
• Eloise (10/5): Quiet but central - the place to stay in kyoto - Really lovely place, safe, quiet, clean and the room was very large compared to other places we have stayed at for more. Priced very decently for being so central to visiting many of the sights. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Kyoto.
• Justin (8/5): Good location, good value, excellent facility. - I highly recommend Kotoha Umamachi to anybody visiting Kyoto. The facility is very clean, seems like it was renovated or remodeled recently. It is located on a quiet side street in the southern Higashiyama neighborhood. Don't be worried by its proximity to a busy road and an overpass, it is a quiet area. I stayed in a double room, it came with a kitchenette and a washing machine for laundry in the room. Very convenient! Value for money was also excellent.
