Friendly staff and a good location. The room was clean, nice and quiet. I hope to stay there again when I get a chance. I really enjoyed the simple and clean vibe of this hotel. Booking will not be easy as it only has 8 rooms.

The rooms at the B&B are very clean, with exquisite designs. The towels are made from Japanese Imabari and are very high-quality. There is a convenience store 2 minutes' walk away and 7-8 minutes' walk from Kyoto Station. You can experience the Kyoto style in a quiet area. Highly recommended.

Stayed here when it was the Backpacker's Ryokan Budget Inn (circa 2015). Three of us in a five-person private room (ensuite bathroom). The room and linens were clean. The price was right. Staff helpful and friendly, offering suggestions for the area.
