enjoyed the interaction of guest house culture, its quite surprised to charge all amenities. The location was excellent which was only 3 - 4 mins to JR kyoto station. Cleanliness was good. The only thing need to improve is- the full english name from expedia was different/ unclear from the name plated signal at the entrance, it took me another 10 mins to figure out the hotel location. Anyways its a good experience to stay at guest house in kyoto

京都駅から徒歩で行ける近さです。 築1年だったのでとても新しく綺麗に感じました。 ベットがカーテンで仕切られるのでプライバシーが保てて快適でした。 私が宿泊した時は日本人は私の他に1人だけ。後は全部外人。 夜ドミトリーでは女子トーク会が始まり超盛り上がりました。

Awesome, Traditional, Conveniently near Trains

Probably my favorite stay throughout my 10 days stay. This place is very homely and has a really nice japanese feel to it. I would call it a modern Ryokan? The decorations are very traditional, and the whole place has a lovely natural wood scent. The host is a very easy going person, and the check in process is also extremely easy going. Would have wanted to stay an extra night if they had availability :(

굿굿

친구랑 둘이 다녀왔는데 너무 좋았어요! 지진때문에 다른 팀이 취소했다고 저희만 써서도 좋았던 것 같아요. 다른 후기와 달리 샤워실은 2곳이었고, 화장실 2곳이었습니다. 다만 2층으로 올라가는 계단이 좀 가파른 것 같아요. 친구랑 둘이 캐리어를 힘들게 끌고 올라가고 내려왔습니다. 에어컨도 완전 빵빵하고 샤워실도 좋고 드라이기도 있고 거실에는 선풍기, 냉장고도 있고.. 게다가 스탭이 너무너무너무너무 친절해요! 영어도 잘하시고 좋아요~

駅からのアクセスは抜群

駅から近く、アクセスはとてもよかったです。 また、値段も安く、部屋も綺麗でした。 ただ、女性専用ドミトリーは、部屋が狭く、広々と使うことは出来ないです。 また、各ベッドに電気がないため、部屋全体の電気をつけたり消したりする必要があるため、他人のガサゴソする音や足音等が気になる方は、控えた方が良いかもしれません。 また、共用スペースにあるテーブルが小さく、仕事をするには向いておりません。
