Everything was perfect! The hostess was really nice and friendly. Even though we talked by Google Translate most of the time, she was very patient and polite. Also, you definitely won’t find any other hotel with this price and comfort. It’s so much better than my previous experience at another Kyoto 3 star hotel. Will definitely stay again in the future!!!

The owner is incredible! I lost my passport at a shrine, she was able to get in touch with the police and have it returned to me. The rooms are very clean and nice, and the hotel is a few minutes walk to a train station.

Great place to stay near Arashiyama. Walkable distance to JR Uzumasa station and some Randen station I forgot the name. The hotel is overall very clean with all required facilities. Given the price, it was a no brainer. The lady was really nice and kind and helped with every requirement, despite not understanding English.

Amazing, to be honest It was a small inn- with a common area for night snacks and stuff... and you get yourself a little comfy room again, do not expect a large room but rather japanese standard room size

Convenient location near the station. A lovely owner. Not for fussy people but if you’re just after a cheap place with a bed and shower etc then it’s a fine place. Basic but comfortable enough

Absolute class act. One of the best hotels I have stayed at, especially for the price point. Room came with a bidet and an in-suite shower. Absolute godsend for my needs and was close to a convenience store, laundromat, and other businesses. Train station was less than a 5 minute walk. Amenities were perfect and covered every possible need. Safe to say this is the best hotel in Kyoto.

Nice room

It was a comfortable room, with all the needed equipment. Private shower and toilets. They have a washing machine but no dryer so take it into account if you are staying only one night like me. Staff was nice too.
