the place is really a good location. Near the ninenzaka, kiyomizu temple, gion district and bus stop. If you like night/morning walking around those area, i can say this place is really a good location.
and near the supermarket if you want to buy something and eat it in your room.
It’s exactly what you expect - a minimalist, simple room. Location is great, being close to lots of touristy stuff while feeling like you’re in amoungst the locals. Supermarket next door was great, and some yummy spots to eat at nearby. About 10 minutes walk to Gion area, 15 to Kiyomizu-dera

I am looking forward to seeing you again.
The place was very clean and in great condition. I loved the interior design. It was modern with clean lines and very pleasing to the eyes. The owner/ receptionist Junya was friendly and helpful. The room was smaller than I had expected, but for the price this was a good bargain in the Kyoto district. I would stay there again the next time I visit. : ) Thank you Junya san.
Great place, spotlessly clean, nice rooms, well located, although walls a bit thin.

I am looking forward to seeing you next time.

Rak Kiyomizu was a lovely place to stay - clean, comfortable and well located. Only downside is that the walls between rooms are quite thin and you can hear noise from other guests.

I am sorry about the noise problem because the wall is thin.
When you come to Kyoto, please come and stay at RAK KIYOMIZU.
I am looking forward to seeing you again.
Thank you!!
The location is good for some of the attraction, we only need to take one time subway to other location , other locations we can just walk to there , except if you go from Osaka, the subway is a bit far especially if you are carrying luggage . Nice staff, room size is suitable and clean. Noise isolation could be better, we can hear someone come in form the enterence and someone talk next to our room. Overall we are very satisfied.
Ett väldigt rent och fräscht hostel med närhet till buss och Giondistriktet! Det ligger bra restauranger uppe på stora gatan, ca 7 min promenad bort. Jag hade kanske önskat att det fanns möjlighet till frukost på boendet, men det finns inget kök bortsett från mikro och kyl. Annars som sagt, rent och fräscht!

We were glad to see you !!
Please come to Kyoto again.
have a nice trip!!
Das Hotel scheint neu zu sein, demensprechend ist alles neuwertig und frisch. Die Lage ist sehr gut, wenn auch beim ersten Mal etwas schwer zu finden. Die Lage an sich ist sehr ruhig, aber die Zimmerwände lassen alle Geräusche aus den benachbarten Zimmern durch. Ich fand es sehr angenehm, dass im Zimmer ein Waschbecken war. Die Gemeinschaftsduschen und -toiletten waren immer sehr sauber. Für den kleinen Preis ist das Hotel eine gute Wahl. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und würden wiederkommen.

Chambre un peu petite mais bonne ambiance
Check-in un peu tardif, chambre un peu petite mais la guesthouse est vraiment très bien placé. On peut aller au Kiyomizu dera à pied et profiter des lieux très tôt le matin sans la foule.
