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.

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!

Everything was fine. We never met any staff; however, staffs were very prompt in responding to messages. Room was super clean. Washroom was super clean too. The room was large enough for 2 adults and 1 child. Although no staff was present, a phone number is given for emergency. I hope it works well and conversation can be made in English. The location is excellent. Overall, very satisfied.

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

***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!
