Location wasn't great with not many food areas close. They could donqith giving it a deep clean.

It was a unique experience that I highly recommended to anyone coming to Japan. The accommodation was old and traditional but still had electricity and lovely showers.

Not enough showers, and the toilet in my room had a bad odor. M'y 40L backpack was too big for the Locker that we are given, so I had to keep it with me all day long.The washing machine/dryer didn't do a good job on m'y laundry, so you're better off going somewhere else.

The location was great! Next to the inversible railway museum, close to umekoji station if the san'in line and a 15 minutes walk to Kyoto station. I only had to share the bedroom with 3 strangers, so it was Véry quiet. Confort was adequate for the price.

The self check in sort of works but it is very impersonal. It felt a bit less secure as I felt anybody could get in ,so didn't leave anything valuable.

The building is old and feels truly Japanese with a nice atmosphere .It was easy to drop off my bag . Also close to a nice park . Pizza restaurant right outside.and 7 eleven nearby too.

Beautiful room with lots of space

The capsule bed was a little bit too tiny even for me (I have stayed in other capsule hostels and they have a lot of space, even the entrance was not big enough) . But overall it is a good value for the money.

I liked the fact that it was in an old traditional Japanese house, loved the library and the tatami living room, the free tea and coffee. The bike was cheap and a big bonus. The location is good, the staff (even if it is self check in) was nice and they tried to help me in the morning when we met. You also get free porridge for breakfast,nothing fancy.

The noise inside the house (you can hear everything)

I dont understand why other reviews are so negative. The place is nice and quite spacious compared to other hostels I've been to. The stay was comfortable and for a very good price.

Because it was an old house, the wall is thin when you open or close the door you have to be very quiet

The hostel is a 100+years old house which is the best experience for someone who wanna try living in the place from the past. The interior and exterior of the building is legend

Lovely traditional old style hotel. Beautiful view from windows. Nice area. Close to central Kyoto. Nice and kind staff.

Unfortunately along with the traditional style of the building came also the noise, as every step you took was easily heard by your neighbours next door and not only. The floors were very squeaky but it wasn't that big of a problem honestly. The most important concern though, was the dust that was on the bed furniture and it needed attention.

We loved the traditional style of the hotel. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting and the location was pretty good as well. Considerably close to the station. We weren't greeted by any of the stuff but an envelope was waiting for us right beside the main entrance, with directions and information. We found the whole process to be convenient and easy to follow. At the small lobby you could find some tea, towels, toothbrushes and a beautiful library. All in all it was a very pleasant stay! ☺️

Everything is for an addiction charge, shared shower very noisy and can be heard in the room. Suspicious electrical cord extension in the wooden house.

Authentic vibe, clean. Station and bus are nearby and can reach everything easily.

Great location and amenities in the kitchen, comfortable beds too!

There are bikes for rent, but if you use them for the nearby bath houses or groceries, you can use them for free. The staff were incredibly nice when I talked to them, though they weren't around in person often due to their change in staffing hours.

The insulation was very poor. We had to blast the heater on full blast due to the cold air coming through the floor boards and the window cracks.

Good price and very nice staff!! The building itself is super cool being so old.

The individual cabins are really small. There's pnly 1 toilet and 1 shower for too many people

The location was exceptional. The place looks very typical and well maintained

I love this hotel so much. For the interior, I would say it’s antique as the hotel’s history but very clean. And I booked the room with the garden which is very pretty.

Wifi is very slow sometime.

Location is not far from Jr station and city bus stop. Minimart is close to the hotel If you are hungry at night you can find something to eat. Price is ver worthwhile.

I didn't quite like the fact we had to get out in the freezing cold to go to the toilet, it must be nice in summer, but not really in winter... The stairs were also a bit narrow due to the building age and thus, it was difficult to bring suitcases up and down.

I liked the ambiance, very cozy and traditional ; as well as the services available. It was also a self check-in quite easy to understand and there was no curfew so we could do our visits and eating out without worrying about not being in our room on time

The wifi could lag at times inconsistently. The stairs to go up are very steep - not an issue for me but it would be for some people or with large suitcases rather than a backpack. The listing could give more warning about that.

The location was convenient for the bus to gion and only 10 minutes walk from the train station next to the railway museum. The old building was traditional which was part of the experience. It was still comfortable as the ac/heating unit worker well (I was there in January). The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water.

Other guests were a little messy

I loved to experience the traditional feel. It was extremely easy to access the property and the rooms. The amenities are all located at the main building. I stayed in the single room and it was very comfortable. I don’t think i’d enjoy it quite as much if i stayed in the quad like my friend did. The staff was amazing. After a couple days of not putting the indoor sandals back correctly i noticed they were placing it a certain way. I started to fix my habits of doing it backwards

No introduction by a person due to contactless Check-in. It would be great to have someone to give a small introduction and tell something about the history of this building

The atmosphere is great and the room was clean. Especially at night it's a super cozy place with a beautiful view out of the window.
