Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We loved this place and would stay here again when we travel back to Kyoto. The place was super clean and quiet. It felt so safe and train stations were in walking distance. We even found an awesome Korean restaurant right around the corner from the place. Also the Lawson store was just a minute away from here and open 24 hours. The staffing were also extra helpful and super sweet.

This was one of the best properties we stayed in Japan. We were very happy with the place. Very clean and well-maintained. Definitely recommend
This was by far our favourite accommodation in Japan. The manager was amazing and the accommodation was spacious, traditional but will all of the modern facilities. We loved it and wished we had spent more time here. In fact, once we moved to Osaka, we travelled back twice to spend time in this area and a little town called Sanjo.

This is a great place at a reasonable price. It was nice to have three beds and was plenty of space for three adults. The washing machine was very useful and the balcony was the perfect place to hang our clothes. The staff are amazing!

Excellent place. Would visit again.
It's an excellent place to stay, especially if you like a little extra room. It is basically a fully furnished small apartment. The room was furnished with separate bathroom and toilet and a kitchenette including a fridge, microwave and an IH. There was an washing machine with laundry detergent provided. The building is new and the in room facilities were truly excellent. The owner was very helpful during the stay.

The Family Inn Kei was close walking distance to a few excellent temples and shrines. For public transportation, bus service is minutes away, Tokufuji Stn (next to Family Mart convenience store) JR and Main subway system is a short walk (under 10 minutes) and Kyoto Station less than a 15 minute walk away. Lawson's convenience store is just a minute or two walk! Not too central for many restaurants, but we used the microwave for most dinners.

Thanks for looking after us
Our trip got postponed due to a typhoon. However, the communication from the staff was excellent. They reassured us and processed refund even before I asked for it. Super helpful! The property was comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was good.
