The whole atmosphere, experience of living in a traditional Japanese place, host and surroundings were all great. Located near one of the main shrines, the place was really quite and yet very near to the hustle of the street. The Host were very welcoming, all the facilities as described and very clean. Instructions were pasted on each thing to make sure everything is smooth. Bonus, Hosts left us a box of strawberry which was the best we have had till now

Owner Eimi and Hiro is a friendly couple who are so thoughtful and helpful. Personal attention to allow me to check in early as I had arrived upset due to a cab driver who gave me the roundabout doubling my fare. Moreover, after a nap I found a note from Eimi and Hiro who had sent me strawberries to cheer me up!

The house is older, so some concessions in terms of sounds might be necessary. Good enough for me though.

Be prepared taking nap in afternoons may be impossible as lots of tourists nearby or on the street itself.

“Good location and friendly hosts”

We stayed in the annex, and it was very cold. The room took a long time to heat up when we got home in the evenings. The shower and bathroom area was freezing. The basins in the bathroom had only (VERY) cold water - not fun to wash your face in the morning. Wasn't a fan of the pillows - they were filled with some kind of plastic beads.
The hosts are so friendly and helpful. They gave us a new year's present of delicious fresh fruit and year of the pig chocolates. The beds were very comfortable. The shower was large and had decent pressure. The toiletries in the bathroom and the free tea and coffee were nice touches. The location was just perfect - close to Kiyomizu-dera temple and other attractions, and close to a bus stop and subway station.

I couldn't recommend it more. Hanakiya is run by a super nice and friendly family. We got breakfast for free because it was our second time, and Halloween sweets as a surprise. The location is fantastic, very close to Kiyomizu-dera temple but quiet at the same time. We got recommendations to join a local kabuki event we couldn't have found otherwise. The staff speaks English very well and they were always available for anything.

“Comfortable stay in Kyoto, near Kiyomizudera Temple”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Japanese-Style Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The inn is around 5-10 minutes upslope from the nearest bus stop, so this made it quite tiring everyday to return to our accommodations after a whole day of walking/sightseeing. The pillow was not great (seems to be so across many other accommodations in Japan, where it was filled with beads instead of feathers), although the rest of the bedding was alright and comfortable. There's only one socket at the corner of the room so bring multi-plugs along. Overall, still a comfortable stay for our 4D3N in Kyoto, albeit a good workout getting back :)
We loved the friendliness of the hosts - they were really helpful and easy to reach for assistance. The room was as expected and spacious for 2 whole luggages, with your own towels, mugs, toothbrush and clothes rack to hang your towels with. The hosts also prepared fresh fruits for us on our first night when we returned back, and replaced our towels after 2 nights. Although it was shared bathroom, the toilets, sink and shower were separate and we had no issues with getting hot water or having to wait to use any of it. Cleanliness not an issue either. Location wise, it's near Kiyomizudera Temple and seems to be a rather convenient base via walking distance to explore the nearby shrines/temples.
