六根ゲストハウス Rokkon guest house

I loved everything about this stay. The quiet area, the traditional place, the cozy room with the fire, and the homemade (and delicious) breakfast. But above all, I'm so glad I could meet Kayoko. She welcomed me so warmly and made me feel at home. Thanks, Kayoyo. I'll be back very soon so I can't wait to visit you again!

My 13 year old daughter and I stayed in a double room for 3 nights while we explored Kyoto. We both felt at home immediately. The common space was welcoming and enjoyable to hang out in, our beds were comfortable, and the shared bathroom and shower were clean and comfortable. I’m not sure if it’s always this way, but the other guests were quiet and polite and respectful. Wish we could have stayed here longer!

Guesthouse Kyoto Arashiyama

Ukyo Ward, Kyoto

4 km from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Guesthouse Kyoto Arashiyama is located in Kyoto and provides free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. It is situated 4.1 km from Kinkaku-ji Temple and features luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. The hosts are so lovely and kind! They were really flexible with my check in despite me arriving there well before the designated time. It's the perfect amount of space for a solo traveler; the tatami style room was very cozy and comfortable. Small kitchen space and fridge was also a plus. The location is nice as its not in the thick of the really touristy areas so it doesn't feel over-crowded, but it's easy enough to commute to popular spots via bus.
