Extremely quiet place, very smooth checkin process (you will get access keys to both the hotel and room). Very clean, European style place, good shower, washer and dryer on premise. Soft drinks vending machine on 1st floor. Close to the subway and right next to the bus station. Very private and discreet place, nobody bothered us during the stay.

Laundry operation could be inconvenient if you lack small coins. Limited availability of food options nearby, everything in 10 min walk but nothing in immediate proximity including convenience stores.

It was easy to access from 2 different train stations, taking only about a 10-minute walk or less from each. It was only a few minutes walk from a beautiful shrine and the castle as well as a well stocked grocery store. We found it’s location quite central. We were happily surprised by the washing machine/dryer available for use. I left my AirPods there when we left and was able to communicate easily with the hotel manager to have them mailed to me in Tokyo. They arrived the next day!!!

It was difficult to de-humidify the bathroom and so there was a strange smell in the bathing area. As is usually the case wi the Japanese mattresses, they were extremely firm— this was especially true of the sofa beds that were folded out for my children to sleep on.

This is a great place to stay in Kyoto: in the heart of a regular neighborhood, not touristy, so you feel part of the city. There are convenience stores, restaurants, and bus stops nearby. Nijo Castle is within a short walk, as is Nijo Station which is an easy connection point to central Kyoto Station as well as train and bus lines going out to areas of interest such as Arashiyama, and is also a good place to catch a taxi and hit a 7-11 ATM to withdraw money from foreign bank accounts. Sanjo shopping arcade is about 15 minutes away and goes on for blocks of quite a variety of small stores. The oldest pond in the city is a few minutes down the street, part of a beautiful and historic shrine. We really enjoyed our time here!

The wifi did get spotty, and the folders of in-room info and local restaurant listings both need to be updated. But the hosts are quite responsive by email and very helpful.

I received clear instructions on entry key codes before arrival. Check-in was smooth. Location is quiet and convenient to access two train stations. The hotel/room provides basic amenities and is clean and efficient. Shower is hot and strong. The separation of toilet from shower and sink is smart. Individual room temperature control worked well. Bed and beddings super comfy. A great value for the money!

I thought we'll have sofa to lounge around but it turned out not (the room on the other side of hallway has). There is only a small desk and chair.

- Location was great. Love that it is so near the Nijo Castle. - Apartment was comfortable and clean. - Staff was very responsive on chat. Always helped us and answered all our questions.

- Nothing (only wished it had streaming services like Netflix)

Room was spacious, easy access for taxi, quiet and comfy.

They didn’t provide coffee or tea. The refrigerator froze everything we put (bananas, drinks, food…) No blinds, sunrise at 4:30am, so I woke up then and couldn’t sleep more. Bathroom lights are automatic, so can’t control them. We are with a baby and that was a bit annoying

The room was well equipped and clean. Access to a washing machine was really helpful as we stayed for a week. Close to a supermarket and restaurants. The hotel had a list of restaurants nearby (in English and Japanese) which was helpful. The area is lovely and the hotel was responsive. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again

The view from the room was right onto a carpark but they had pretty screens to hide it

The easy system of how to get into the property, the access to public transport, the quick response and support I got from the owner, in short good location, good facilities and in time response from the owner. The room was big too and reasonably clean. Thank you so much!

Nothing

Location was great & room size was perfect for the three of us

Bit of a smell on the bottom floor due to the washer & dryer being there
