Beautiful accommodation in boutique hotel. The hotel is located on a side street which I found slightly disconcerting at first, but Kyoto is full of these quaint little streets and they are perfectly safe. The reception area is also very small, but then we were only there for 5 minutes so it was immaterial. Concerns that the rooms might be similarly small were unfounded - our room was large with a huge double bed, a lounge area, walk in wardrobe, tea and espresso machine, fridge, TV, bathroom with bath and shower, guest robes and pyjamas - to be honest, it was a really spacious, well appointed room which was scrupulously clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

The staff were beautiful and could speak very good English. We had travelled far to get to Kyoto and the staff allowed us to check in earlier. They even heated up our lunch for us. The room size is huge!!!! I think the bed was a super king and there was plenty of bed space and it was really comfy too. The bath tub was amazing to relex in. My husband and I are both 6ft and we could fit in the bathtub. The little extra dinning seating area was so lovely to sit and relax and have a cup of tea in the morning. It was a close walk from the train station. The life supermarket is 1 minute away and they had the best katsu sandwiches we have had on the trip. There are 2 bus stops right out the front on the main street that take you almost anywhere in Kyoto - we went to Panel Cafe for souffle pancakes and continued onto some shrines. The amenities are beautiful, they provide full sized toothbrush and hairbrush, bath salts, razor, everything. You can ask for more should you wish for more. It was exceptionally clean, no dust, no smell, it was incredible.

None.

The room size was exceptional, with a little TV/couch nook, a closet to put luggage and felt a bit more like an apartment room than a hotel. Wonderful service - staff spoke the best English we'd had on our trip (not that we expected that, but it was a nice bonus), arranged luggage for us on arrival for our next hotel. The next time we visit Kyoto we would stay here again. Solid internet speed that was sufficient to do work on and get the all important Netflix.

The room ventilation fan was noticeable. But really that's the only nitpick.

We absolutely loved coming home to our beautiful and large room. Much larger than all the other options we looked at in the area. The place is clean, beautiful and quiet. Every details was perfect in our eyes. We are so happy we chose to stay here and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel. We would book again for our next trip.

There isn’t much natural sunlight. It was winter and we knew this was the case so it wasn’t a negative. The other positives more than made up for this in our eyes.

Very beautiful little Ryokan style hotel with only 12 rooms. The rooms are huge, very generous sized with a sofa and a sitting area. The decor is zen like with a little koi pond too. Breakfast was amazing, the Japanese option is recommended.

Note that there's no restaurant and no real laundry facilities, and the TV service (as in many accommodation in Japan) is only in Japanese) There's no mirror cast option either. Food wise we were not impressed by the offerings in the area but other eating districts, including Gion is within 15 min walking distance

My boyfriend and I traveled for 3 weeks throughout the bigger part of Japan, and we both agreed that this hotel was our favorite of all the 7 hotels we stayed at. The staff was remarkable, especially an older gentleman that had previously worked at "The four season's hotel". He had such attention to detail and was incredibly friendly. The hotel is perfectly situated in Kyoto. It lies within a calm neighborhood and yet has both the metro and the bus stop just minutes away. The area also have some nice restaurants and a huge supermarket as their next door neighbour. For the value of the room it is really remarkable what you are getting. One of the best things about this stay was definitely the amazing bed. Coming from Norway I am not used to hard japanese beds;- which were in every hotel we stayed at expect from this hotel. We stayed here in the beginning of our trip and it was such a nice experience that we came back to the same hotel for our last days in Japan.

Nothing to say here. There was nothing we did not like.

I absolutely loved staying here. The room itself was luxurious, very spacious and extremely clean. The bed is enormous and perfectly comfortable with a soft blanket and two pillows per person. The room also contains a tiny bar area with a water kettle, coffee machine, a fridge and different glasses and mugs. There are two TVs, one opposite the bed the other one at the sitting area. The bathroom was at another level, the shower was basically a room on its own. All in all I have to say that this hotel room was far beyond my expectations. Everyone working there is super friendly, helpful and ready to walk the extra mile for their guests. They gave us great restaurant recommendations, exactly fitted to what we were looking for, and also helped us to get something back which we forgot at a previous hotel in another city. We also ate breakfast every day at the hotel. The breakfast will be delivered to your room at a time you can choose yourself. The options are either traditional japanese or western style. We decided to go for the japanese one every day, it was always a bit different and very delicious. You can choose time and style on a daily basis, so its very flexible. The location is perfect. We could walk everywhere or just took the bus or Metro. Near by is a supermarket where you can by fruits, snacks or even a whole meal, but also restaurants are available. I highly recommend staying at nagi kyoto shijo hotel.

We had a really comfortable 4 nights at Homm Stay. The room exceeded our expectation, so much space, beautiful bathroom and extremely comfortable bed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again. It was central and yet quiet, staff were lovely and easy to leave luggage there as required.

Nothing not to like. Obviously no meals are offered on site so room only basis and laundry service was a little pricey.

Proximity to public transit and shopping makes this a fantastic location! Comfortable beds, clean shower, large bath. Ten minute walk to subway lines. LIFE Grocery is also very close for taking drinks or snacks to the room which has a mini fridge. Laundry service available if needed - this was a plus after all the walking and hiking.

No breakfast amenities are available, but plenty of nearby options so this isn’t a big concern. No city views from this room.

Japanese breakfast was excellent. Room was the best of our six hotel stays in Japan - spotlessly clean, larger than most, very comfortable with a separate seating area and windows that opened. Service was friendly and efficient. Never having visited Japan before, we appreciated that some English was spoken. This is a very small hotel with no bar or dining area and breakfast is served in your room, but it worked well for us, and is near good metro and bus routes, and marvellous small restaurants. Will go again.

The scrambled eggs! The western breakfast option was not so good, not as good as other locations.
