Great location and very easy to find with staff who met me on site to get me checked in and introduce the property. Clean and surprisingly quiet given it's location right next to a restaurant/bar. The staff warned me that the room was small but it really was pretty much in line with what to expect from a tatami room.

It was a little awkward having the main entrance be essentially in the kitchen for the property so there were times when arriving or departing that it felt like you were walking through someone else's private kitchen.

Really good located, when I booked was the best value for money, the room was clean and on point, small tho but big enough for us. I recommend this hotel for its location and convenience it has a seven 11 just in front, perfect if you going early to inari shrine (train takes you in 11 mins). However, in front of main street and Is a very small hotel (not even the taxi driver knew it) it looks like a family operated business so there is someone really working hard to keep it up and ready for you, please be kind as a guest.

You get what you expect for the price. A small room with a bed and private washroom is more than enough for the prive listed, therefore, was more than enough!

For the price not much you can say. The only thing I didn't know was that you have to pay a little extra fpr towels, but it was only 50 yen, which isnt much.

Great space, very clean, nice futon, soft sheets, great heating and everything you need to feel at home. We had a room with a private bathroom, and it was perfect. Small but it even fitted a bathtub. The kitchen has a fridge, a microwave and a small electric oven. Sadly, the kitchen burners were not working, but we didn't really want to cook anyway. The hostess was lovely 🩵

The room was very clean, and so was the bathroom. The host offered us towels and toiletries.

The room itself was crowded for 3 people. Even though the host offered us to use the hall too, it still was difficult for 3 people to get ready and actually move around the room.

The location was perfect, very central and close to the main sightseeing places of Kyoto (around 15 minutes waking). The hostess was very nice and helpful and the room was clean.

It is a very small room, where both my feet and head were touching the wall when laying down so if you have more than 1.8 m I would suggest a bigger room.

The location is good, a short walk from the main train station and within walking distance of the old gion district. A short walk from the metro station. The room is really small. There are no beds, only a rollaway mattress, which when you pull out, covers the whole floor of the room, leaving only a strip of floor near the wall for two suitcases and a small table. The bathroom and the toilet are also small, so the room is suitable if you really want to use it only for sleeping. If it rains, there is a problem where to dry things. The rollaway mattresses are not too thick, so sleeping is on a hard surface. The internet is fast and reliable. Considering the price, it's a good choice. But it's not a classic hotel room, it's a place to sleep with a shower and toilet.

Better mattress (thicker).

I paid $100AUD for a mattress on a floor with 1 pillow for each guest. Clean room and it gave my daughter and me a real taste of Japanese frugal living. It was the cheapest room I could find in Kyoto at the last minute.

I got charged an extra $30 AUD for my daughter staying with me.
