This inn was situated within walking distance to the JR station and a slew of other tourist attractions. It is in a quiet neighbourhood and offers guests plenty of privacy.

There was no housekeeping despite my stay of 1 week. When contacted, owner said housekeeping only comes upon a guest checkout. So maybe I should have broken down my 7-day booking to 2 or 3 days each? Also, I booked for a room for 4pax. There were only 2 sub-queen sized beds which all 4 of us could lie down at the same time but had no space to wiggle, only at the risk of falling off.

Firstly, the room was beautifully designed - light, airy, and with a lovely tatami seating area. The room was also very large and had a small garden attached. The location in Kyoto was good (close to a metro station but even closer to bus stops for access to Kiyomizu-dera, Arashima etc.), and the road was peaceful.

This was not a problem for us, but be aware that this is effectively an Airbnb-style accommodation, not really a hotel. Check in is via a lockbox, and the reception desk is unstaffed, while you take any amenities (towels, toothbrushes etc.) from an area on the ground floor. There are no facilities at all (no microwave, seating area, reception, breakfast etc.) available in the hotel.

It was well located and had a nice little garden

Since I found it in Booking and it says "Hotel", well, I though it was a hotel, but it's an Airbnb. We never saw the host and several things didn't worked, like the tv and a lamp. When we arrived the garden was dirty (some tissue paper from the rooms above) and we had to clean it. There were no complementary water, coffee or tea and, like so many Airbnbs, lots of indications about the garbage, what not to do, etc. It was nice but be very aware it is an Airbnb.

The room is spacious, and the beds are comfortable. It is close to the bus and train stations and in a centrally located region of the city near several other attractions. The hosts allowed us to stay an extra night after discussing our altered travel plans last minute.

Everything is self-service. We didn’t encounter any problems for there to be an issue, but know that if you stay here, you will likely not have any personal interaction. It is all done digitally

Room was very spacious. The neighbourhood is quiet. The hotel is not very centrally located but many nice sights are still in walkable distance. If the staff was around, they were kind. We really really enjoyed our stay in Kyoto and the hotel was a safe place to recover.

There were no real services provided by the hotel, such as washing machines, vending machines or a ice machine. It felt more like being in an ill equipped air bnb. Also there was hardly any staff around (corona as the reason did not convince me, as we are in year 4 of the pandemic). So, during our stay (4 nights) there was no cleaning done and no towels were replenished, which was mildly inconveniencing.

Checking in was incredibly easy, and the room was SO spacious and clean. I loved that it was such a short walk to Gojo bus stop and Gojo subway station- making it so east to get anywhere. Location is beautiful and not too busy despite being in a city. This was the best value hotel we have stayed at on our japan trip so far.

Room was extremely spacious and super clean. Street where accomadation is tucked away is nice and silent so no noise in room. Also good connection for public transport. Wifi connection without any issues. You can get breakfast as addition with your accomodation its mailny different types of breads with some yam or other spread. Toilet in seperate room in the bathroom which is always apreciated. Man who checked us in was very nice even though he didnt speak English he really tried to make it easy and pleasant experience. In room you have fridge and downstairs in shared spaces there is microwave if you wish to reheat some food. Downstairs where the reception is you can grab fresh towels every day or any other personal hygiene supplies that they provide.

We had little issue with checking in. There was nobody at the desk even though we arrived during check-in hours. There is code door to enter lobby and we could not enter at least the reception while we waited for somebody to show up to check us in so we had to stay outside with all the bags for the time being. Also there is a note to give a call or reach out via email if you wish to checkin they didnt respond to email very promptly and as foreigners we didnt really wanna call japanese telephone but luckily in our case two japanese ladies showed up around the same time and called the number. After the call man showed up in like 10 minutes to check us in. Personnel did not speak English which is nothing google translate cant handle these days.

I loved how quiet and private the hotel was. The rooms were huge which is really great if you have kids. Fabulous bathroom. The location is also nice - 8 min walk to Gojo station and 15mins to Kyoto. There's also a bus stop 4 mins from the hotel.

The staff are rarely present so we had to walk onto the street to hail a cab with out suitcases and toddler in tow. They will not hold your bags after check out or before checkin despite having the space to do so. They send multiple emails before you arrive to highlight this. When I checked out the Japanese couple in front asked to have their small suitcase looked after and they said YES! When I immediately asked the same they said NO! Also the carpet in the room was filthy and there's an exit sign that glows above the door so it's impossible to make the room dark.

We loved our room on the 4th floor. It was spacious and the bed was just big enough for our family of 2 adults and 2 small children to fit comfortably. Love how the ceiling and hard floors gave the room character.

Some dust accumulation on benches.

I was accomodated in a spacious room with two comfortable beds. It was a good value for the price paid. It's only 15 minutes walking from the Kyoto Station.

I expected some staff at the reception but the online communication was good and they instructed me on all things necessary.
