Where to start… This was without exaggeration the best stay we had so far in Japan! The room was excellent, with amazing view and the area was quiet but still walking distance to everything. Kevin was so kind, from before our trip until the very last minute. You can feel the Japanese hospitality the second you get in contact with Kevin. He even offered us a ride to the station with all our heavy luggage’s while he has a busy schedule. We also checked in earlier, our room was ready at 11:00, and we could check out at 12:00. This was luxury to us. We didn’t even ask for it but it was very welcome to say the least since we were a bit sick and jet lagged from our first days in Japan 😊. This whole experience exceeded way beyond our expectations! Wish we stayed longer in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu Hatsune Guesthouse 🙏🏼

Everything was great. The shared living room may be a little small but the bedroom was big enough and comfortable for two people. The bed and blanket were clean and very comfy. They even had a foot massage machine. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They could recommend some nice places to visit and the place was close to a famous market. I will definitely stay here if I go to Kyoto again!

The owner is so friendly and accomodating. He offered to pick us up from the station and even gave us a lift to the station to go to Arashimaya. I've loved this guesthouse so much that I stayed for 1 more night.

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.

Katsura-san is a great host and we had a fantastic time during our stay. Location is super close to Nijo-Jo castle, several fancy restaurants and walking distance to subway. The apartment was super clean, had all the facilities required and Katsura-san spend a long time chatting with us and making our stay wonderful.

Everything about this stay was amazing. Absolutely lovely hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome here in Kyoto. Their friendliness is outstanding! Also, the annex house in which we stayed is beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable. Location is great as well, I can only recommend staying at this place.

Mr and Mrs Li are super great hosts, the best I have ever seen so far in all my travels. Everything was thought of (I mean everything u would need while traveling, it felt like staying at a good friend’s place. The beds were confortable and the kitchen was well equipped, the Japanese shower and bath was great !), they even gladly showed us around in the city and gave valuable recommendations for Sakura season.
