This place had a great location, close to the train station and no more than 30 minute walks or train rides to most tourist attractions and food. Staff were super friendly and it was very clean. However, if you are used to a softer or thicker mattress, the beds will hurt your back. My partner and I were in a lot of pain after our stay because of the bed and pillow. It was an overall great stay but the beds could hurt you if you’re staying for a longer period.

It's basically a hostel with single rooms. Mostly quiet but it's impossible to close the room door without making a noise that everyone can easily hear. The price is good but there is a significant cost for late check-in.

Price and location the real draw

Basically a self serve guesthouse. Was not used to waking 3 flights down to take a shower, no hanger for towels at the public washing basin and inside pf public toilet, and no TV. But after a couple of days I got used to it and it was OK. Location very convenient ot subways and buses. Price is right also.

This is a unique hostel with its Japanese charm. Place is in excellent location—- about 15- minutes walk to Kyoto station, a couple minutes to a subway station & to bus stops. I was able reach popular destinations easily with public transportation. Convenient store & McDonald’s are just a couple minutes walk as well. Though, good to venture local restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I definitely felt safe. Very close to a scenic river. I had a double room with a bunk bed. However, I happened to not have a roommate & had the room all to myself! It has a window. Charming bed, with Japanese mattress & pillow. There’s a rooftop terrace. Laundry is inexpensive—only 100 yen for both wash & dry. Tea bags of different variety are available & complimentary. I specifically like the one of brown rice. I got to meet & talk with other people from other countries while at the lobby. It was fun! Mr. Ace is a wonderful host. He speaks excellent English, very accommodating, down-to-earth, helpful of suggestions of places to see in Kyoto. Provided assistance with my huge luggage in check-in & check-out process. I need to travel lightly next time. I highly recommend this charming hostel. Will definitely come back!

A taste of Japanese hospitality!!

We visited from Manchester New Hampshire USA and the Guesthouse WindVilla is a great location if you want to experience all that Kyoto has to offer. The staff at the Guesthouse Wind Villa were hospitable and always helpful. The Guesthouse is kept in a clean and great condtion. I highly recommend a stay there if you plan to visit Kyoto.
