Værelset var rent og fint, dog med meget tynde væge. Desuden ligger hostlet ret langt fra centrum, men med offentlig transport, direkte uden for hostlet, tager det ca. 25 min.

This is a hostel, not a hotel. It has limited shared bathrooms and kitchens, the walls are paper thin and it is expensive for what it offers. It is clean and there was a well meaning, helpful manager.

Great hotel, very clean and friendly. 5min walk to the station and close to a grocery store. Restaurant on the first floor which had some really tasty food!. Plus you get a discount as a guest. Highly recommend staying here.

This family-run guest house is very clean, comfortable and in a good neighborhood. No, it is not located in the tourist area but if you're in any decent shape, walking 20 mins to the subway isn't a big deal for a cheaper accommodation. There is a grocery store nearby, and guests have access to the kitchen. We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Kyoto.

Très déçue ... Même si l'accueil et le service sont là, le prix est beaucoup trop élevé pour une simple chambre avec juste un lit double et un bureau, aucun placard ou rangement. Et aucun endroit pour se poser en dehors de la chambre. Il n'y a pas grand chose dans le quartier pour sortir, et Kyoto est à minimum 25min de bus quand il n'y a pas d'embouteillage.

6/10

Fuimos 3 noches. Está a media hora en autobús del centro de Kyoto. La habitación estaba limpia, de buen tamaño. Había una mesa y 2 sillas. No hay armario. Los lavabos, fuera de la habitación, estaban bien aunque eran insuficientes para la cantidad de huéspedes.

8/10

The only problems i have with this hotel is that a hot shower costs money each time you use it and then that the hotel is situated quite far from the central station. Otherwise the staff was helpful and spoke english pretty well and the hotel rented bikes which is a must in Kyoto

8/10

Es war ein schönes Hostel. Nur etwas außerhalb. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einzig wirklich negatives bei dem Zimmerpreis noch extra 100¥ für 10 Minuten warm duschen. Ansonsten sehr gut.

Er zijn fietsen te huur waarmee je makkelijk langs de rivier naar het bamboebos kunt fietsen. Ook de keizerlijke villa is dichtbij. Vergeet niet minimaal een dag van te voren te reserveren Hele aardige en behulpzame deskmedewerker.

Camera spaziosa per gli standard giapponesi, ben servita dai mezzi pubblici

8/10

L'hôtel est trés calme et bien insonorisé par rapport à la circulation. La douche est payante: 100 yens pour 10 mn mais 2 personnes ont largement le temps de se doucher; la cuisine collective est bien fournie sauf en couverts. on apprécie le lave linge et le sèche linge, on peut étendre sur la terrasse, il y a tout ce qu'il faut, cintres, épingles à linges...on peut emprunter un parapluie en cas de mauvais temps. les hoteliers sont très accueillants, à l'écoute, toujours disponibles et feront tout pour vous aider ou vous rendre service. nous vous recommandons de jongler avec le métro et les JR trains pour vous déplacer, le bus s'arrête tôt le soir. N'hésitez pas à faire de votre cantine le petit resto en bas, c'est bon et sympa( 10% de remise pour les résidants de l'hôtel)

First up it's far from central Kyoto. The nearest subway is about a mile away and then you still need to change 2 more different trains before you can get to Kyoto station. However, from the nearby subway you can get to Arashiyama in about 2 stops on the same train. Also, there's a bus stop about 50 yards away from the hotel (bus 73) that can take you to and from Kyoto station in about 40 minutes depends on traffic. This hotel is weird. You have to clean after yourself. There's no room service. You have to put down a deposit of 10000 yens for the room (not the key) in case you forgot to take out the trash or something like that. You need to pay 100 yens for the hot water you're going to use. I wonder if they ever clean the room before renting it out to the next guest(s). It's on a busy street so it is noisy. If you can afford it stay some where nearer to central Kyoto instead of wasting time on a bus or a train.

チェックイン時に受付（2階の部屋）のインターホンを何度押しても誰も出てこなかった。しかたなくドアに貼ってあった連絡先に電話をしたら、電話の話し声でやっと管理人（？）が気づいて応対した。 インターホンが壊れていたのか...。基本的に海外の人が泊まることが多いようで、部屋を案内してくれたお兄さんも外国人で、説明も英語だった。市バスも京都行きの路線のバス停は徒歩2分位にあるが、清水寺等に行く観光によく使う路線のバス停は10分以上歩くため、この点も若干不便に感じた。ただ、紅葉の時期の3連休に部屋の空きがあるのはここだけで、寝泊りするだけの利用目的だったため、総合的にはまあまあ、といった感じ。ちなみにシャワーは寝台列車等にあるような１分間100円のやつです。

I spent one week at this hotel at the end of July, and overall it was satisfactory. The reason I am not giving it a 5 star rating is because of the location (it is about a 30 to 40 minutes bus ride from the station, depending on traffic, although the bus stop is right by the hotel), the fact that the mattress tends to be pretty thin and you feel like you're sleeping directly on the frame of the bed, the pillow is pretty flat, and there is a 100 yen fee per shower; I do believe that the shower price should be included with the room. Otherwise, it is very nice and clean. The common kitchen allows you to meet and hang out with your fellow travelers, and after a long day sightseeing, it feels really great to be able to exchange impressions and tips. There is a Chinese restaurant on the first floor where guests get 10% off, and the food is good. There are also two supermarkets nearby, one of them opened all night and the other one providing more prepared meals. Overall, I would recommend it if you don't mind the distance to the station.

Wir waren zwei mal für 4 Tage in Kyoto. Eimal im Zentrum um das hektische Treiben mitzuerleben und einmal außerhalb um die ländliche Idylle mitzubekommen. Uns faszinierte das Moderne und das Traditionelle das in Kyoto sehr häufig anzutreffen ist. Sehr angetan waren wir auch wie hilfsbereit, höflich und respektvoll die Einheimischen uns begegneten und wie sie auch miteinander (jung und alt) umgehen. Kyoto war wirklich ein Erlebnis und wird auch uns für immer in angenehmer Erinnerung bleiben.

4/10

Overall, our stay at the Kamikatsura House was only ok. It was very cold when we were there and the AC was not working, so it was very cold in the room. The walls are very thin so if you have loud neighbors, you will hear them. However, we didn't spend very much time here during the day and it met our needs. The staff was willing to help when we had questions. The hotel is very far from Kyoto Station - about a 40 minute bus ride, but there is a station right outside the hotel. I personally think I it is a little overpriced for what they offer, but overall it was fine.

所谓别墅就是在一层小商品房四楼里，环境一般，厕所有点脏，位置远不说，坐车去车站要走20分钟路，晚上晚回来从京都站打车要一百多元，靠近马路很吵，窗帘都不能拉上挡光，最不能忍受的就是洗澡要另外付款，要付一百日元一次，而且只能洗十分钟，对于长头发的我们来说，洗完头就够钟了，又得要多给一百日元洗澡，太过份了，从没试过住的地方要另外付款洗澡的。如果可以，宁可贵点还是住市区吧～我们是旺季没办法，打死也不会再住下一次～～
