U have to pay for extra items and services.

I like this hotel, I booked good room, but because of there was no people , they gave me better place by free! and the atmosphere was sooo atmospheric and authentic!!! a lot of games for companies. Gentle staff)

Nothing, all good already. People from neighboring rooms are however comparatively frequently met because of shared facilities and ryokan typical thin walls. We had a friendly bunch so everything was very pleasant. :)

The guesthouse was a great ryokan with an awesomely large selection of English, Korean, and Japanese board- and card games. It was looking very nicely and clean. The staff was very helpful, polite and friendly, as it is almost Japanese standard. :) Overall a highly recommended stay.

Location is a bit far from Kyoto station. But I knew that before booking. So no complaint

The manager was amazing. He stayed late to receive me and showed me everything. Loved the common space and kitchen as well

The beds need new mattresses as they were not comfortable at all.

Nice place, cute garden and living room.

Unfortunately, the room we stayed in was very close to the road and to the reception, so basically impossible to sleep at night. Furthermore, the room had no windows so very smelly and a lot of dust. We left with a running nose and itchy eyes for the allergy, impossible to breath inside.

Good position, very close to Kyoto station. A lot of buses in the area, with bus stops right in front of the Guesthouse.

The property states that it has a shared kitchen, which is a bit misleading, as it only has a sink, a water cooker and a fridge. It’s not possible to cook anything apart from heating convenience food. (Which I think is ok but then don’t write shared kitchen in the description) Also, the bathrooms, toilets, shower are located outside. In winter it’s therefore freezing, as for the sinks there is not even a door to keep some of the warmth inside.

It’s a cute hostel, with focus on board games. So if u are travelling in a group and have bad weather, it’s really nice trying out some new games. Though I felt most travellers did not play at all, the games only being decorative purpose. The traditional tables with a blanket attached were super cozy!

The toilets and shower are in the lower floor which makes it a little bit inconvenient especially when you have to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Although it was not disgusting at all, it could have been cleaner. There was dust under the bunk bed and the showers could be a bit cleaner as well.

Nicely decorated hostel with many games available that I regret not having had the time to play.

Stayed in July 2023

The traditional japanese style rooms and the garden are very cute. There are tons of boardgames available so make sure to enjoy it during your stay :) We got lost and were quite late to check in and had issues with luggage checking out as well but the staff was understanding.

it was a cute space

Little far from kyoto station, i was given room near the reception, room dint have any ventilation, secondly in guesthouses people are not like minded, we were sleeping but one group of people caused too much noises in common room. I would recommend to book hotel than guesthouses

Property is traditional and unique.

I just don’t think it’s for me to stay in a 6 bed dorm. noisy and little room to have you bags etc. you do get a small locker for your personal items. towels etc are extra but that’s why it is so cheap!

staff were friendly and allowed me to leave my bags earlier than needed. free tea and coffee easy to get to train station, 15 min walk

Stayed in June 2023

bathroom is not as clean as I would prefer but it’s a hostel. just be sure you have cash for the Kyoto tax as I lost my card before getting and didn’t have cash offered to pay the amount online to them and was rejected. lucky I got some one to give my cash n paid them pay pal

it’s ok, nice energy. not a social hostel like previous ones. no sound proof can hear noise from lounge or any movements. can’t be a light sleeper

The owner is not friendly. He didn’t show even a single smile. The faucet of the sink where you wash your hands and brush your teeth is too low to use and the guests I talked to and I were not happy about it. I used the kitchen sink instead.

The house is filled with traditional Japanese stuff. Very neat and warm atmosphere.

You could hear everything going on in the house, had to sleep with ear plugs. Also did not love walking outside in the cold to use bathroom/sink.

Very cool house in Japanese style in good location!

Stayed in March 2023

The bedroom was pretty cold at night and the bed was a bit hard.

Homely feel, kotatsu (heated blanket table) and lots of space. The facilities are clean and the location is great, near the station and also a lovely sento (public bath).

I liked everything.

Great, friendly service. Beautifully furnished and the garden was amazing.

It wasn't mentioned in the description that paying at the establishment meant you had to pay by cash as card was not accepted. Could have been a big problem if I didn't have enough cash on me!

SUCH a cute guesthouse! Toilet shower and bath were clean, bed was comfortable with good heating, the kotatsu in the common area was the comfiest. Drinking water tea and coffee were available at all times and shampoo and soap were also provided. Many convenience stores nearby and the no 50 bus is almost directly opposite and takes you directly to kyoto station. Other bus stations are a short walk away too. There is a public bath nearby as well.
