The staff running this hotel are some of the nicest people I've met in Japan. Everything was super clean and comfortable. I'd stay here again if I was in Kyoto in the future.

The location is good. Near the shopping center and stations. There’s also a 7/11 nearby. The shared bathroom is always clean and has available amenities for use. There’s also food stalls and restaurants which are all walking distance. I also live that they have a massager in the common room which I used especially after a long walk.

Nozawa Inn is my favourite stay in my entire trip, I wished I had stayed here for the whole holiday. Yoshiko San and Morio San are not staff, they are hosts and they treat guests like family! They are such a lovely couple who went out of their way to make me comfortable every day... From helping me plan my daily trips, washing my clothes, driving me to the station, introducing me to their friends, giving me daily treats and tea, beer and sake, telling me stories, lending me books (she used to be an editor so there's lots of them!) and making recommendations for food and onsen (just go wherever they send you, it will be great), they made my stay in Kyoto the best time ever! Oh yes, breakfast each day is different, plentiful and really good and tasty. The rooms are a good size and have all the facilities you would expect and more. The toilet in the room is clean and you get fresh towels each day. The shower is shared but there's only 2 rooms in the house so this isn't a problem, and it's clean and the water is warm... it doesn't matter anyway as the onsen around the corner is brilliant and open until 10pm. The location is perfect, in a nice, quiet and pretty part of town with a train station 6 mins away. There's a blowfish restaurant opposite if you want too, and a nice sweet shop as well, who make nice sweet rice balls fresh. The house is over 100 years old and feels so special, with wooden beams and screens, and a cute garden where you can smoke if you need... Fun fact - the house was designed by the uncle of the famous Sumo wrestler Takakeisho (look him up, he's going to be Yokozuna one day) and they are both sumo fans!

Location is perfect (walking distance to bus stops, tourist spots) and our room was clean and cozy with daily housekeeping. Hiro was exceptionally helpful and attentive to our needs despite our late-night check in - he even woke up to send us off early in the morning! Would 100% recommend this place :)
