It was near to shops and food area.
Subways can be found nearby.
Quite neighborhood which is nice.
Allowed early check in if room available, which was very very helpful after a very long flight.
Adequate space for a family of 4 adults.
Would suggest to put in a dryer for clothes rather than rely on the air dryer only.
If cutleries were to be provided that would be great.
Loved the handphone equipped with internet available in the room for use to walk around town For the duration of our stay. It was of great help.
Overall a good and comfortable stay.

Excellent location (1 stop from Kyoto Station, near many bus stops; a number of good restaurants in the area, grocery store and chemists and dollar store nearby). Very little in-person interaction, but everything clean and neat and easy to reach staff if needed. Kitchenette was excellent to have, beds comfortable, everything was just right.

Coming from a cramped Tokyo hotel room, this was insane for the size of the room and price point. Bed was nice and firm great for my back. Made use of the fridge and microwave in the room. The only weird part was we had to check our selves in and out through a phone.

Excellent property for a family. Easy walking distance to many of the sites in Kyoto. Clean rooms. Has a kitchen too. They also provide a free cell phone with the room. Couldn't ask for more.

Hi Tayler! For us, guest experience is prime. It feels great to see you had a nice one. We’ll feel obliged if you give us a chance to serve even better. Have an amazing day ahead. Regards, OYO Customer Excellence Team
The building and room looks new and clean. The surrounding in the building is very quite. After my laundry, try looking for an iron but was not provided. It will be great if they provide an iron for each individual room.
It was a pleasant place to stay. The place clean & the bed is good. The location is convenient with 24hr opening supermarket & resturant in within walking distance and Gojo subway station within 100m.
This guesthouse was very clean and spacious for my family of 4. We really appreciated the in-room laundry and drying room. With only a few steps away from a 100 yen shop and grocery store to pick up breakfast or snacks, the location was excellent. Our only complaint was there was always someone nearby cooking fish and the smell was in our room whenever we returned to the hotel.
Good place just a little hard to find it. And we need to walk quite a distance to central city

Thank you for staying with us this time and the review.
We are afraid that you felt a bit far from downtown even though it's 10 mins walk (faster than taking bus!) and only one stop subway station from Kyoto station.
We hope you had nice time in Kyoto and hope you to come back in the near future.
Kind regards,
OUR FAMILY LOVE THIS HOTEL VERY MUCH OF IT SIZE, LOCATION, CONVENIENT, ETC. ON TOP OF THAT, WASHING MACHINE AND DRYING FACILITY ARE AVAILABLE THAT SAME US A LOT OF TROUBLE. HOWEVER IF PANTRY CAN PROVIDE WITH UTENSIL WILL BE BETTER. DUE TO FESTIVE HOLIDAY, MOST SHOPS WERE CLOSED. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FAMILY EVEN WITH CHILDREN. PC WAS PROVIDED IN THE ROOM.

Excellent location, walking distance to everything.
Stove and microwave are avaialble to use in the room, so pan/pot/cutlnaries were expected, but none available unless you pay extra ¥500. I don’t mind to pay extra, but I think every cost should be included in initial booking. And these should be standard to provide if cooking facility avaialble.

The property is generally cosy and compact. The room furnishing is generally ok except that there is NO utensils at all provided in the kitchenette. There are shops nearby for groceries and daily necessities.

Dear Tay,
Thank you for providing us your feed back. we hope to welcome you again in near future.
Short walk from Goju station, which is only 1 stop from Kyoto station. Many convenience stores nearby. Can walk to pontocho area in around 15 minutes. Rooms are clean, and serve well as a base to sleep in after exploring. Modern shower bath and toilet. Has a fridge, washing machine and microwave. Decor is slightly dull and there is not much natural light in the room but didnt bother us. Overall served our purposes fine - not a luxurious place, but clean and functional

Everything for comfort was provided. We were very well informed about what to expect by the young man who checked us in. We were very close to shopping and restaurants, and bus stop was handy. We walked back fro our visit to the Kiyomizu-dera Shrine by means of the Philosophers’ Path and the zoo and theater district. Perfect location and restful place to return to. Wonderful little Korean restaurant about three streets over to the east.

Okay for guest house
Ad said we would have a computer which we did not. No English on tv. No lamps, no dresser. Noisy guests above us walking all night long. Clean, fresh towels daily. Can not see out windows as they are whited out. Must rent dishes and pans for cooking. It was a well kept guest house but no frills. Buses are a nightmare to navigate and drivers speak no English and are not helpful at all.

Thank you so much for your detailed reviews about our guesthouse. Your inputs can make us improve better in the future.
We are sorry about computer, but we already checked that in rooms information if you booked from Expedia, it will just written Have Flat screen TV on entertainment point, not mention about computer at all. Could you please tell us where you see the ad that written the rooms have computer? So we can fix it.
Thank you very much for staying with us.

It is located not far away from the Gojo subway station and restaurants, and it is very close to the Gojo Takakura bus station, a local supermarket, a grocery store and a 100-yen shop.These make it a very good starting point to explore Kyoto. The rooms are clean and offer replenishable towels so that you can help yourself easily in case. And it's quite affordable too.
This is a great place if you just want a place to sleep in without help from the staff.

Great location and comfortable accommodation in Ky
Great place to stay in Kyoto. The apartment is super comfortable and clean. We love the temperature regulator that can turn bathroom to warm room or dryer. You will appreciate warm room while taking shower during winter. And the dry room can help to dry your laundry. If you love cooking, you can rent the kitchen utensils set that cost 500 yen per stay. It is worth self catering especially when you found fresh produces from supermarket. Last but not least, their staff Ms Chin is very friendly and helpful. She always greet you with warm smile which will brighten your days.
