We booked AKERIO MACHIYA for our trip in Kyoto.I have been to Kyoto before last time in a hotel this time we wanted to try a traditional home.I absolutely love everything about this property it had so my personality and style to it. i truly love properties that ooze appeal and this does. It was extremely comfortable and perfect for a group of 4 adults. The neighbourhood was so quiet and peaceful, with lots of quaint eating places around the area.We also loved strolling the neighbouring streetsi would definitely come back and stay in this property again

Although located in a quiet residential area, I was able to enjoy both Shijo and Gion within walking distance. Check-in was smooth at the reception near Kyoto Station, and I was able to move my luggage, which was very comfortable. My room was private and I felt safe. I would like to use it again next time.

It was meaningful to be able to enjoy a surreal space in a stylish interior.There were plenty of dishes and outlets, and the cleaning was thorough, so I had a comfortable stay.Also, since there are many places, I wanted to use it.

We used Kyoto as a base for a few day trips and chose Machiya Residence Inn’s Akeiro Machiya for its location to public transportation (just a 5-15 minute walk to buses and subway), size, access to restaurants and convenience/grocery stores, and the ability to ship our luggage to and from there with ease. The staff is very helpful and prompt with communication. The machiya is nicely equipped and stocked with basic necessities. The beds are comfortable. We liked that there were two toilet areas and showers. Cons would be the design of the seating area/dining table, poor lighting throughout, a steep staircase, and being able to hear the neighbors through the bedroom wall. If I were to return to Kyoto I would definitely choose to stay with Machiya Residence Inn again but may choose from one of their many other beautiful machiyas

Had such a great experience throughout!The check in process was smooth and the staff were very friendly and both spoke English well. We forwarded our luggage to the Machiya check in office and they put our bags in the Machiya for us which is extremely helpful in Kyoto as it gets busy! I’d definitely recommend taking advantage of this service as I think it’s well worth the 800 yen per piece cost.Akeiro itself is gorgeous, great location that’s quiet and residential but pretty central. Kyoto station, Gion and Kiyomizu Dera and the subway are all a10-20 minute walk away.The house itself was well equipped with laundry detergent, washing machine, washing up liquid, towels, toiletries etc. All the dishes were really stylish and there’s even a drip coffee maker!The beds were comfortable, the bath is huge and I loved the striking red tile. It really felt like a little relaxing oasis.10/10 would definitely stay in a Machiya Residences property again next time I’m in Kyoto!
