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.

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.

Amazing, to be honest It was a small inn- with a common area for night snacks and stuff... and you get yourself a little comfy room again, do not expect a large room but rather japanese standard room size

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.

Everything was awesome. The lady was super supportive when I needed to check in early and check out early and left my luggage with her. Room was clean. It's small, but I find it spacious enough for a solo traveler unless you have too much luggage. The shared area has everything you may need - iron, hair dryer, body mirror, scale (if you need to weigh your luggage), kitchen, fridge. I even found plastic bags prepared. I guess it's for guests to use cos' you definitely need to bring your own bags for trash in Japan. Well, literally, the place has everything I can think of. Good location with bus/trains to airport, downtown, and areas I visited during my stay. Will return if I take another solo trip to Kyoto.

If you wanna stay away from the caravans of tourists. That's your spot! Nice, clean and with a good soul. Fresh rooms. Maybe a bit loud from the passing train signal near by. But for me was it a good choice. No clear glas Windows. Trainstations from JR and the Tram. You will be fast in the Bamboo Groove and Kyōto Station.

Everything was perfect! The hostess was really nice and friendly. Even though we talked by Google Translate most of the time, she was very patient and polite. Also, you definitely won’t find any other hotel with this price and comfort. It’s so much better than my previous experience at another Kyoto 3 star hotel. Will definitely stay again in the future!!!

Best place with a very caring landlord

Amazing place, super clean and I think newly renovated. When i arrived I had a bit of a fever that grew pretty high, and the landlord nursed me back to health and brought me water and food everyday!

17日間お世話になりました。自炊・洗濯可、冷蔵庫・エアコン・アメニティー完備、清潔で安全、プライベートもしっかり守られており、ソロトラベラーにとってこれ以上は望めません。毎日ふかふかのお布団で、快眠しました。家族に会う為の一時帰国でしたが、何一つ不自由なく、まるで自分のアパートで生活している様な快適さでした。滞在中には細やかな御心尽くしを頂き、大変感謝しております。次回もお願いしたいです。

客室は清潔で、スタッフの方は大変親切でした。アメニティとしてボディーソープとリンスインシャンプー、歯ブラシを頂けました。エアコンは部屋で温度調節可能です。隣に一部屋あるだけですのでとても静かでした。小さいけどユニットバスにお湯を溜めて、朝の冷えた体を温めることが出来ました。ベッドの寝心地も良かったです。冬の京都は冷えますので寒がりの人は暖かいパジャマの持参をおすすめします。
