Our recent stay at this charming inn in Kyoto was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. The warmth and hospitality of the hosts made our experience truly exceptional. Not only were they incredibly welcoming, but they also went out of their way to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. The inn’s location couldn’t have been better. Situated in close proximity to the subway, it made exploring Kyoto’s treasures a breeze. We appreciated the convenience of being able to easily access the city’s attractions while still enjoying a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. All in all, our stay here was a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and convenience. We can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for making our time in Kyoto so special! 😊🏯 🌸

If i could give them more than 10 i would say 100. The room is pretty simple, nothing that fancy or expensive but the owners are so kind and welcoming. They were super kind and helpful, the whole stay at the inn was more than awesome. The best hotel of my stay in Japan

Was very spacious for our family of 5. Had everything we needed. Short walk to a Metro station and bus stop - so easy to get around. Nice and clean. Staff were lovely and they were happy to store our luggage on checkout day as we had things booked in before our train out of Kyoto. Would definitely book this again if I travel back to Kyoto.

- Friendly staff: everyone is very nice! The staff would explain to you all the instructions of your stay and help you as much as possible. They even made a customised key chain for you if you want your bed sheet to be changed. On the day of checkout, you can leave your luggage there and they would offer you for a rest in the living room when you return back to take your luggage. - Installation: there were all the necessary appliances in the living space which includes a microwave, water dispenser, fridge, TV, and even a leg massage machine (there were always people using it, it's very comfy). In my room, which was a 4 bed room, there was another TV just for the guests in this room. - Great location: very near to Teramachi and Shinkyogoku shopping streets. But it's very silent around the area so no worries about any noise.

Amazing location, in Gion, close to transportation but also very quiet with lots of great restaurants. We stayed in villa 1 with a deep ceramic bath. The Machiya is well stocked with a simple kitchen and microwave for breakfast. Love the little walk down to Tatsumi bridge and river (less than 100m) Familymart is 100m away and laundry service 2min walk. Staff were lovely and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place.

Beds were comfy and clean. Washroom and shower was clean. Other amenities such as bikes and washing machine were great. The staff is extremely helpful and easy to reach. Bus stop is a few minutes away and the philosopher's path is about a 10 minute walk away. There's no specific luggage storage area but the dorm is large enough that there's enough space to move and access your luggage.

Well, what others said about the place is true. It might seem far from the popular attractions but the transportation in Kyoto is very well covered. Nothing to complain.
