Located at a small lane at the end of Sannenzaka, a must visit place in Kyoto. The place is Extremely quite place at night after all tourists were gone. If you wanted a quite place then you will like here. But please be reminded you need to walk approx 15 minutes for the nearest convenience store and not much choice for dinner within 10 minutes walking distance.

it was a great experience in Kyoto,specially it is very accessible to tourist spots like temples and shrines all around

Location, and the fact that it is an apartment with private bathroom and kitchen makes out stay feel a lot more comfortable comparing to staying at hostel or hotel since we can cook our own meal and eat in someday too.

Pirada

The location in the middle of Kyoto’s Kiyomizu old temple district was magical at night when the tourists had gone and the old buildings and streets were yours to wander, however not much is open at night and there is a walk downhill to the bus stop. The kitchen was large enough to work in with good appliances (stovetop, fridge, microwave, kettle) but for pots, pans and dishes you need to rent the kitchen equipment pack, which was very reasonable. Washing machine in unit. You use the shower as a drying room, thanks to a special heater. Staff was friendly and helpful. Unit was more like an apartment. Daytime there are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, day and night there is a supermarket and convenience stores near bus stop. Good WiFi and a computer that turns into a tv, lots of English language translations of controls for everything which was very useful. Very comfortable and worked well for us.

The way to the location :( That's because it is within the old Kyoto streets so LOTS of stairs to reach the place and Taxi cannot go to the street it is on. You will have to really walk with your luggage.
I love the amenities. Very comfy and spacious. It was sparkling clean too <3 I love that you can use the bathroom as drying room! Would stay here again.

Felt like dorm room. No cleaning. Small room. Lots of rules. Never met anyone at check in. Would rather have paid few more dollars and stayed at nicer place. Toilet paper was even real thin. Almost felt like booking another place after check in.
Location. If you’re looking for cooking capability and washing machine then nice enough.

“Very disappointing, shabby”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
The location was terrible - a side road which was very scruffy, overlooking weed covered ground, quite a distance from public transport. The room was very disappointing, not as clean as it should have been and very shabby. The bed was pushed up against the wall, lumpy and with hard pillows. There were no staff. The entrance was a narrow corridor with a locked door leading to an uncovered corridor, concrete narrow stairs, no lift, no help to carry up luggage - we were on the third floor. Although there was a hob and microwave there was no pots or pans or cutlery or utensils so we couldn't have cooked if we had wanted to. The property offered a luggage storage service but didn't tell you about it - we found out when we arrived at the property.

“A Great Disapointment”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
This property was promoted as having a fully equipped kitchen - it didnt. It had a stove, microwave and fridge but (with the exception of two mugs) no eating or cooking utensils, no plates, bowls, saucepans etc. Apparently (something I found out when I complained) you could “hire” a set for 500 yen. This is not mentioned in any of the information provided. It had the latest check-in time of any property I stayed at in Japan (4.00pm) and offered no-where to store luggage if you arrived early. I didnt meet any staff. There is no reception only someone at the end of a phone who is not always available. When I complained to “reception” about the lack of kitchen equipment etc no action was taken - I was only told reception was closed for the night (this was about 5.30pm) and nothing could be done. There was a washing machine but no washing powder was provided. Other guest houses I stayed at in Japan (in Nara and Kanazawa) provided fully equipped kitchens as advertised and washing powder. This guesthouse provided little or no helpful information for visitors - other places I stayed went out of their way to provide information. Overall, a very frustrating and disappointing experience.
This guesthouse was well located in a quiet street close to major attractions of Higashiyama and Gion.

The location is right at the door of 清水寺 and 八坂神社 is right on the way from the hotel to the subway station. As long as you can climb since it's on half way to the top of the hill, it should be a good choice.

It’s getting a bit dated and needs some touch. My room was on the ground floor, and there was some smell coming from the toilet. It was not the case 5 years ago. Maybe the room on a higher floor is better.
Stayed in this place 5 years ago, and gave it high rating. The location is perfect. The place is basic and comfortable, good value for money.

“A nice play to stay if you want to take great pictures of the Higashiyama District”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
Some welcome snacks would have been nice or staff to give instructions on how to use the appliances(they made a manual so it wasn't much of an issue). There's also no convenience store near the place so you should buy some food/snacks before heading to check-in.
The room has nice modern amenities and appliances that is better than most hotels that we stayed with. We liked that the toilet and bathroom are separate. It is good value for money. Most of all we liked that it is very near the photography spots which is why we chose to stay here. Walking through the Higashiyama district alone at 5am except for the newspaper delivery guy was such a surreal experience.
