Beautiful old Japanese townhouse with a very homely feel. Clean and renovated. Bath tub was super cute and kitchen very well equipped. We were there in summer and it was quite hot but great with air conditioner on.
Not made for tall people very short door ways. Room doesn’t have a light blocking blinds. Reception is somewhere else but staff were so friendly and delivered our luggage to room!

The experience of old Japan leaving and I had the room with garden view
The insulation was poor as there are gaps and cracks around doors, windows and roof. Not a great way to heat up by AC as it dry the air

It is in a traditional japanese house. The room is spacy and very clean. Bathroom is clean and warm. Staff is helpful. Location is 15 minutes walking from Kyoto Station or 3 minutes walking from the metro. The only thing is the reception area is in different place and you need to check-in there.

The location, atmosphere and the lovely, hrlpful team.
It is a traditional house, so the house quiteness depends on the level of empathy of the people staying:) A bit luck, for me it was generally lovely people with one outlier at the end😂

Great location, clean space, very comfortable bedding.
Only one shower room for the whole house, so there’s a feeling of having to rush.

The location was incredible. Walking distance to many restaurants, train stations, and the river. Highly recommend a sunset with a drink along the river.
It isn't clear on the site but the walls are incredibly thin; you can hear everyone coming and going and have to whisper at all times if you want privacy. The rooms are very small and the futons are not comfortable (this may just be because we weren't used to that style of bed, but better to know beforehand if that's important to you).

Actually we stayed annex, Ikkyu-an. Supposedly all male groups stayed, and female groups stayed Koto-an?? Liked nice bathroom with a bathtub there.
Smell of old houses, which might not in the rooms on 2nd floor. We stayed in a room on the 1st floor with windows facing aisle with no bug net.

location was nice, close to kyoto station. this property is probably much nicer when it’s warm.
since it’s an old building the windows are very poor, so you couldn’t really heat up the room. it was very loud. you could hear every noise, especially in our room which was next to the main entrance. to use the toilet or bathroom you literally need to go outdoor. so in the cold season not recommended.

Location was good
1)No curtains I woke up every morning before 6 am because extreme light 2)Very bad room temperature 3)To reach the toilet long long way to stairs and walk 4)Very very expensive for the minimal service they provide as a 1 star hotel They have charged us 65 euros per night for a 2 people single room I have discovered 4 stars hotels 5 mins walk from this hotel Same price if not cheaper for some!
