It was a bit of work to get our luggage from Kyoto station to this guest house via city bus. But it was worth it. …

It's very close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and it's next to Sannenzaka, so you can leave your souvenirs in your room and then go back.It was very nice to be able to go out at night when no one was around.However, there was a free parking lot, but you have to take a very narrow road to get there, and there are a lot of people walking, so it's best to take advantage of the time when there are fewer people. The problem is that you can't.It was a family car, so when I was about to turn, my family stood on three sides to make sure we didn't hit anything.The room was just a bed and a desk for walking.Well, it's cheap, so if you think you're just going to sleep, you won't have any problems.

The location is really good, you can go very early or late to good places near and you'll find it almost empty. Except if you want to buy something it's perfect. The service is really bad, there aren't clean service so after some days I had a really big bag with trash. No change of towels. Don't use the washing machine, it tore my clothes

It's a bit hard when you need to leave your room and back multiple times in a day because of the location i only took one star from the location rating and one star from the service rating since they said they provide internet but i can hardly open a location on google maps everything else is good.

I liked that the facilities were nice and clean. I didn't use it, but there was a washing machine and a gas stove. The bathroom and toilet were separated, and there was a bathtub. …

The place is badly cleaned and the bidet in the bathroom didn’t even work. It’s only worth it for its location and where it’s located. If then don’t bother.
