Quiet location, close to the subway and there is the possibility to cook food purchased at the nearby Family Mart. Efficient dishwashers.

Quiet residential location, very close to train and bus stops and also only 20 minutes walk from Kyoto station. Restaurants nearby and convenience stores just round the corner. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and private. Bed space was roomy, with power, light, ventilation and plenty of extra space for belongings. Storage area for bigger suitcases but I had enough room to have all my stuff in with me. There is a small kitchen & free tea/coffee, lounge area and massage chair. Laundry was only ¥200.

Not my favourite pillow and showers are not same floor as rooms but these are small things. Overall a great place and I would book again.

Everything was exceptionally great! Great location, great host, great room condition. I was most impressed by how clean the facility was. Also liked that the toilet paper was thick enough to use... which is not common in Japan. To mention a few points I loved the most about this place... 1. Great location. Very near the subway station and bus stop. Just 15-min walk to Kyoto station, which saves you from carrying the heavy luggage to the crowded bus. 2. The place is (obviously) smoke-free. But you can smoke in front of the family mart, about 3 min walk, which was a great relief to me. 3. There is an izakaya, Cafe, ramen-ya and udon-ya very near the place. 4. The bed place is satisfactorily spacious. 5. Kind host! 6. For anyone who wants a nice and warm bath, there is a bathhouse 10-min walk from the place. The name is Umeya. I'd say this guesthouse is undoubtedly better than most of the business hotels I've experienced so far. The place has all that is needed and beyond.

None at all

The location is excellent! It's an easy walk to major sightseeing areas and hidden gems, with plenty of nearby restaurants. There's the big river, 鴨川, and a small canal (not sure of the name) nearby, so strolling by the water became one of my favorite things to do while staying at the guesthouse. The house is very clean, the common area is a great place to spend time in the early morning, and the shower is comfortable. The rooftop is a perfect place to take a nap when the sun is out, and I loved it! The owner is a beautiful person, and I truly enjoyed our conversation!

The doors of the rooms on our floor are a little heavy, so it can be loud when closing.

The host spoke great English when he saw me struggling with conversational japanese, and was friendly and responsive to questions or local recommendations. The facilities were very clean, and I liked that the rooms were locked. The individual spaces were segmented like large capsules and had electrical outlets, windows, fans, lights, and AC. The laundry service was very cheap, and the showering area was individual and spacious, with soap and shampoo provided. It was conveniently located in town.

I honestly can't think of much, I noticed the electrical outlets in the pods were slower than in the lobby to charge devices (6 hours to full vs 1 hour to full), but it's more than enough if you're just charging overnight.

- The beds themselves are pretty roomy compared to most other hostels / bunk beds I have stayed at -- it could fit the bed with about 1 to 2 ft of space next to me for me to store my smaller purses and bags. It's also the more traditional style of a futon on tatami mats, so you can also roll up the futon during the day if you want to (a bit of a hassle, but I thought the option was nice because it gave me some space to stretch). - Rooms were really clean and the overall hostel was peaceful and quiet! - Staff is friendly and speaks English well.

- Overall room is a bit small, so there isn't much walking space / area to store luggage. They had like a cabinet / nook area for each bed that could store roughly the size of one large checked luggage, but there isn't enough space to really open the luggage inside the room. - Since the beds themselves are in like nooks / capsules, the A/C doesn't circulate very well inside if you close the door. They have a small fan inside that connects the room to the outside area, but the fan isn't that strong so it is likely to be warmer inside.

1/2 block to a train station. less than 1 mile to Kyoto main station. Walk to Gion district. Owner speaks English and very knowledgeable. Helped us understand the transit system. Shared toilets and shower. Kitchen available to use. Owner had instant coffee and tea available. Laundry in house. Combo washer/dryer. Very convenient. Storage of luggage in the reception area. We stayed for 3 nights. Great accomodation! Nice guest house experience

Nothing

Everything was first class, super helpful host gave helpful restaurant and transport advice. Full kitchen with complimentary drinks and super clean toilets and showers . Rooms were clean, we had bunk bed room which is small so if you like more room go for a larger double. Would definitely return walking to some locations and 2 minutes to station. We walked from main train station in 15 minutes.

Nothing

The place is very clean and fragrant. The host has already readied everything to make each guest's stay comfortable. It's very homey as the kitchen offers everything like it allows cooking or heating of food, it offers free teas, and complete utensils. It also offers free laundry, you only have to pay for the detergent soap for 100 Yen. It's quiet so I was able to enjoy my rest after a long day of touring the area. Mr Ace, the owner of the place, including the young lady who is assisting him to look after the place and the guests are very warm, friendly and assistive. They are eager to provide tips and guides so you can maximize your vacation and get to enjoy Kyoto. I'd actually stay here again when I return to Kyoto. The place is also very close to almost everything. This includes the Kyoto museum, train station (3 min. walk only), restaurants and convenience stores. It's a perfect place for me.

Excellent capsules with tatami floor and a decent amount of space mext to the sleeping mat. We got a window and a really good ventilation fan that kept the heat coming in. Noise travelled but it was a lot more comfort and privacy than one normally gets in a shared room. Also, they clean the commom spaces very thoroughly. Staff also helped me with a language barrier with the staff at my next booking. Very helpful.
