The owner is incredible! I lost my passport at a shrine, she was able to get in touch with the police and have it returned to me. The rooms are very clean and nice, and the hotel is a few minutes walk to a train station.

Great place to stay near Arashiyama. Walkable distance to JR Uzumasa station and some Randen station I forgot the name. The hotel is overall very clean with all required facilities. Given the price, it was a no brainer. The lady was really nice and kind and helped with every requirement, despite not understanding English.

Convenient location near the station. A lovely owner. Not for fussy people but if you’re just after a cheap place with a bed and shower etc then it’s a fine place. Basic but comfortable enough

Absolute class act. One of the best hotels I have stayed at, especially for the price point. Room came with a bidet and an in-suite shower. Absolute godsend for my needs and was close to a convenience store, laundromat, and other businesses. Train station was less than a 5 minute walk. Amenities were perfect and covered every possible need. Safe to say this is the best hotel in Kyoto.

Nice room

It was a comfortable room, with all the needed equipment. Private shower and toilets. They have a washing machine but no dryer so take it into account if you are staying only one night like me. Staff was nice too.
