Great place to stay if you agree to have the worst service in Japan!!!The issues began with the lack of basic amenities.Do not plan to have dry towels; there are no spare towels provided, and nothing to hang your wet towels on. The hand towel hangers in the bathroom are small and broken, making them unusable.If you intend to cook, even just breakfast, be prepared for disappointment. The kitchen is extremely under-equipped, with only two plates available, making it impractical for any meal preparation.The room is also not suitable for a longer stay. There is no wardrobe or storage space to empty your suitcases, which makes living out of a suitcase a necessity and highly inconvenient.Moreover, do not expect any level of customer care. The person in charge at the entrance was dismissive and unhelpful, stating that these issues are normal, which is far from the exceptional service we experienced elsewhere in Japan.This experience was truly unacceptable. I strongly advise looking elsewhere for accommodation in Kyoto, as there are many other great places to choose from that offer better service and amenities.

I stayed in Kyoto for 2 days and this place is an ideal accommodation for family travellers! This place felt like home and I was sad to leave when it was time to check out. The place was clean and tidy, and the manual they provided was constructive! I enjoyed my stay there. The staff were accommodating and the host was responsive to any questions I had about Kyoto. Gojio Station is a 5-10 minute walk away from the accommodation. You can take the metro easily to Gion and other main locations in Kyoto. This area was very accessible and made it easier to travel around Kyoto. I would definitely stay here again! We connect the host through message which is helpful. Thank you for having me :).
