Nice hotel. We enjoyed the heated floor and other amenities. Traditional Japanese-style hotel. The room was a bit small, but everything was good quality.

Great if you want to experience traditional style Japanese accommodation. Not much around close-by in terms of dining or public transport. Also if you are tall you’ll be dodging door frames 😊

The room was absolutely gorgeous, just as good as the photos. The beds were super comfortable. Also the staff went above and beyond to help us even when we made a mistake, which really smoothed over our stay in Kyoto. Thank you so much, staff at Machiya Kamiuyema!

Location: 8/10 Communication:10/10 Comfort: 5/10 Value: 5/10 We were really looking forward to our stay at Macha, especially after a hectic week in Tokyo we really wanted a place that was zen and allow us to unwind for a bit. Unfortunately our expectations were not met We were given a room on the ground floor, and for the next three days and nights had relentless noise from above us, with heaving stomping, dragging of items and things rolling on the floor. The noise made it difficult to sleep, and was not we were expecting at all. Also two of our windows had the blinds/curtains removed and were damaged, so we’re flooded with light at night. When we complained to the hotel, they offered to move us to another hotel in the city at 2am - which was obviously not an option for us While the communication was really good, this was not the experience in Kyoto we were hoping for, especially given the very high per night price We ended up booking another place which was a traditional Ryokan for our last two nights in Kyoto and were so grateful we did as the experience really was soo much more relaxing and comfortable. I believe this inn could be a wonderful experience for many but it will very much depend on the room and whether they have fixed the issues we experienced Kyoto is a beautiful city with soo much to do, see and experience - snd the people are just wonderful x

Loved this hotel!
We stayed in a Japanese-style room and it was so cute and comfortable! We were in Japan for two weeks and this was my favorite place we stayed. It's a small boutique hotel so it's pretty quiet and the location is good. Right next to a nice coffee shop and bus stop. The front desk had laundry supplies and drying racks to borrow which was nice. Overall I would recommend this place if you want to have a quiet neighborhood hotel to unwind in after exploring Kyoto.
