This is the last place we stayed on this Kyoto trip, located in Gion. The location is quite convenient.Checking in is a bit troublesome at another place. If it's not check-in time yet, they will help transport your luggage after check-in. Just use the code lock to unlock it when you check in! ! 🔑🔑There are three rooms, one with two beds, and the other two spaces can be covered with tatami mats. It can accommodate up to 6 people. But when I opened the tatami that day, it seemed a little dirty and I didn't dare to sleep.This is a remodeled traditional house, and both the wall decoration and the decoration are pleasing to the eye. There is also a traditional tea room in the house, but it is a pity that I did not use it during my stay this time. 🦦🦦The house is fully equipped with everything, including a hand-brewed coffee pot, microwave, washing machine, etc. It is convenient to have something to eat or do laundry in the house. There is also a small Japanese garden~~~Highly recommended for those who want to experience a traditional Japanese space. It's just not like a hotel where there are dedicated people who can help solve problems anytime and anywhere, but if you don't want to see people, this is the place for you hahahahaha.

(I went there in November last year.)The location was great. I felt good just taking a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small ditch nearby, and the old houses are clustered together, so the atmosphere is great! I also liked the small garden I could see while half-bathing in the bathtub.One thing that was disappointing was that I requested cleaning service for guests staying more than 3 nights, but it was not provided. The office at Kyoto Station only closes at 7 p.m., so we came in after 8 p.m. and checked out at 10 a.m. the next day, so we couldn't resolve the issue. Still, I sent an email to the hotel, and they apologized and refunded the amount equivalent to the cleaning fee.The handling of mistakes was excellent. However, it is true that due to the characteristics of the accommodation, the counter is far away and operating hours are limited, so there are some inconveniences. Still, I am very satisfied with the accommodation itself and its location, so I am willing to go again.

A hotel worth staying in Kyoto :)Antique and personal Japanese garden, Daze PavilionAs well as the tea room, everything makes people fully enjoy life in Kyoto.The only drawback is that the lights are too dim, please increase the brightness a bitIt will appear more energetic.5-10 minutes walk from the station,All on the main line, I think it’s okayThere is FamilyMart below, Lowson above, and 7-11 on the left.You can experience Kyoto life with your friends in a B&Bpush! Will come again, many friends are already asking for advice

I think the water had a strong smell of chlorine, but it was a very nice inn. I will use it again.
