Kyo-Anthu Inn was a joyous place where you feel as though you are part of a loving home in your stay. Emiko-San was very generous, helpful and exhibited fantastic hospitality towards myself. I could not recommend this place enough and if anyone were to visit Kyoto, Kyo-Anthu Inn elevates the experience of this magical city.

It has all necessary items for a stay. The staff was kind. Therefore, we recommend the Family Inn Kei to all persons wanting to visit Kyoto.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!

My room was clean and warm, and the space was cozy for an overnight stay. Very quiet.There’s also a bus stop nearby, and the hotel is located in a picturesque area, close to many temples and the Philosopher's Path. What impressed me the most was their garden, which is in a different building about a 10-minute walk away—it’s incredible! However, I spent a long time looking for the location at first, so I recommend checking it on Google Maps right away. Thank you!
