Great location and the washing machine was nice to have. The staff were very responsive and pleasant to work with. The washing machine wasn’t in the cleanest condition and our bathroom door handle fell off on the final night of our stay, but overall a great place for the price we paid and the location of the accommodation.

Nice size room and comfortable stay. It's a bit of a self check in style with no staff on site, though this was not an issue for us and check in was smooth. Staff were very responsive and helpful when contacted. Our room had a bit of a feet smell which I'm assuming was from a previous guest standing on the tatami after walking too long in Kyoto, though we had some air freshener with us so we fixed the problem xD

Great place to stay! There are no staff on site but the owners were super responsive even when we asked to check in early! It’s a great location to the train station and the gyoza place at the end of the street is incredible! Also laundry is very close! Will definitely stay here again next time we stay in Kyoto!

***BED BUGS*** The location was excellent. The amenities were minimal - there wasn't a single hook on the walls for towels or clothing. The main issue was that we woke up with BED BUG BITES! We even saw them moving and crawling on the walls in the morning. We got out of there FAST and asked for a refund for remaining nights.

Great location that was a short walk to the station, convenience store, and local good options. The bed and tatmami mat were both very comfortable and the place was clean. Gave great amenities. Staff were also really friendly and helpful. The vibe of the place was also nice and the location was quiet and seemed like a neoghborhood so it was very enjoyable.

Although we did not have face-to-face interaction with anyone at the property, they were very responsive messaging through Expedia app. The property was lovely and just as the picture displayed. We were able to check in at 1pm instead of 3pm because the housekeeping was done, which was greatly appreciated because we were hot and tired after our trip! The location is wonderful! Walkable to Pontocho alley, Nishiki Market and all the shrines on the East side of Gion. We would stay here again!

Place to collect room card is a different location from the Inn, hence a bit inconvenient and time wasted. However, the room was huge and clean and I wouldn't mind staying there again if I were to visit Kyoto in the near future.

Excellent location in Gion district. Easy access to subway, buses, and the 7-11. Don't miss the incredible Kenninji Temple just blocks away, among so many others. Surprise find was a Little Free Library across the street with books in English and Japanese. The vending machine on this block is also the cheapest around! The check-in location is a few blocks south of Kyoto Station, which is important to know, but was wasn't a problem for us as we arrived at the station anyways (the office will store your luggage for free there, or use lockers at the station). Although all their emails were in Japanese, the check-in staff spoke English and was very responsive to questions. Free wifi. Would return!

I like that it is perfect for introverts as there is no need to speak to staff really everything is done independently. I did not like that there is absolutely no way of reaching higher floors without having to carry your luggage & of course I got the top floor & had oversized luggage. I think maybe assigning rooms based on luggage would help. However, I assume this may not be possible due to specific room types on specific floors (ie; two beds rooms on floor 2 & single beds in room 3) but other than that it was great especially for a solo traveler

This hotel was clean and had a good location. However, the service was basically nonexistent. There is no staff at the hotel and you communicate with them online (sometimes they only write in Japanese so it was stressful for foreigners). They also have additional charges that other hotels don't necessarily charge extra for such as extra towels or late check-out. And the staff is adamant about these extra charges. There is no daily housekeeping and no elevator so if you have a lot of luggage it can be a hassle. This hotel is good if you don't mind not receiving any hotel services and just want a clean place to stay.
