It is very convenient because it is directly next to Higashiyama.subway. This place is on a residential area but very close to convenience store like Daily konbini and McDonalds. The room I chose fits people but I am on my own for a business trip. There is a bathroom inside but the toilet is shared. There is a small cooking area with fridge. The aircon in the room is functioning well. The linens are fresh. The bed is said to be hard for a futon but I put together two comforter so there was no problem. The pillows are nice and clean and pristine white. They are made of mixed cotton and small pebbles giving you a feeling of memory foam. The toilet is positioned next to my room and it was always clean without bad odor. The toilet bowl is modern with full functionality. There are 3 levels. There is a steep staircase so be careful when climbing especially with your luggages. Please take note the rooms are not sound proof so be mindful of keeping quiet so other guests won't be disturbed. The owner is friendly and reachable by email or phone call. The passwords,shouldn't be put outside the main entrance for safety purpose. Receiving an email would be sufficient. The general reminders printed on a paper can be left within the room. Overall, it was a great experience.

It is not sound proof. A banging loud noise probably from suitcases were heard from 3rd floor

The location was amazing. 10 minutes from MoMA and Kyoto art museum. The most beautiful 20 minutes walk to gion, past the river, temples and maruyama park. Self check in was easy, and although we didn't meet the staff in person I messaged them a few times and they were always quick to respond and super helpful. Cute cafe next door for breakfast!

Some of the guests on our first night didn't respect the "please be quiet after 10pm". But that's not the property's fault!

Close to Higashiyama station and Sanjo Keihan station with convenient access to many famous tourist spots like Gion, Kiyomizu Temple, Ginkakuji, Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari and more. Everything was well cleaned and there was a small shared kitchen area with a refrigerator as well as a private shower. Don't miss the coffee at the cute little cafe Green Door next doors!

My only problem with this place was that they demanded cash payment - except that, everything was great!

. I spent five nights here. This was an excellent value. I had a well designed and comfortable small room with a shower. The toilet was conveniently located just outside my door. The location enabled me to walk to most of the tourist attractions I wanted to visit AND it is just half a block from a subway station and a block from the bus stop that got me other places that I wanted to visit. There were no staff members on duty, but check in was super easy. I was emailed the access info that I needed to enter the building and my room. The shared toilet was immaculent. I rarely saw other guests. The bookingdotcom website was incorrect about one thing--you can go directly to the hotel and enter it. There is no other location to first go to. I was able to clear that up by contacting the property owner, who was very easy to contact.

This was a great stay.

Amazing place! In the quite location but close to all major temples and attractions of Kyoto, close to bus that gets you directly to Kyoto station. We had a beautiful room with private bath and you don’t get to see it on the pictures but it’s almost like private onsen, really cute and nice after entire day of walking. We would definitely stay there again if ever in Kyoto.

Good size room and comfortable. The location is not too far from major destinations, but is wonderful if you want to enjoy a quiet neighbourhood in Kyoto. The staff are also very helpful, helping us take our delivered luggage to our room upstairs before we arrived.

Not a big demand but kitchenwares (mugs and cups) are not very clean.

The location is perfect for coming in from Kyoto station. Some great locations just minutes away. The rooms are small but big enough and clean. The climate control is excellent. Beds are decent.

There is a shower but we had to find it, as there were no instructions or sign. Leaving the payment in cash is a bit inconvenient.

We loved the place in general, how it is simple but nice, wood all around and warm feeling. Room was perfect size, the sink inside makes all the difference, beds super comfy as our first experience in a Japanese style of bed, of course for some may feel a bit hard but for us was actually better, after few days of walking and carrying our bags, it felt even better than a regular bed.

Nothing much. Second floor could have one more toilet, I felt it was too little only one for all the rooms.

Great location only 2 mins walk to train station and about 20 mins walk to Gion and Ninenzaka. Modern japanese style interior, feels quite unique. I booked 2 rooms, both were clean and the futon beds were very comfortable.

While the ensuite bathroom and overall property is very clean, the shared bathroom (Ground floor next to reception) hygine could be improved to match the ensuites standard. One quick cleaning work that will make a big difference is to remove visible mould/stain in shower cubicle. It wasn’t major though so not a big issue.

Perfect and clean budget accomodation. Easy check in. The HIGHLIGHT of our stay was at CAFE GREEN DOOR which is right next door, we had the best coffee there during our entire Japan trip. It looks unassuming but the man is so lovely so deffo book this place and head there in the morning!

Nothing!
