The hotel was friendly to foreigners, and since it's near Kyoto Station, it's great for exploring Kyoto Station after checking in. However, it is unfortunate that it is far from the accommodation.

Honestly we had quite a disappointing experience during our stay. Issues are as follows:1. We communicated over email a week before our stay that we need to add 2 people to the stay. When we arrived to check in they had no record of this email exchange, and we had to wait for them to call around to other employees before confirming. They had to bring extra accommodations for the extra 2 people later. (I forgave this issue as a simple miscommunication at first and wouldn’t have commented on it were it not for the recurring issues we faced afterwards)2. Upon arriving, the house had several issues - the light bulb in the bathroom was out, the kettle was broken, and the lock didn’t work properly. Someone came to fix the issues, but the lock remained a problem throughout the stay.3. The lock - our biggest issue throughout. The automatic lock seemed to be low on battery and would only partially move, meaning that the lock would only actually lock about 50% of the time. This was obviously a concern and we called several times, but the issue was never resolved.4. The level of service was very low considering the amount we paid. Every time we called about an issue (especially the lock), the person on the phone made us feel as though the issues were our fault and they weren’t apologetic at all. The lock not working caused us a great deal of stress - we were only ok to leave our place without a locked door because of how safe Japan is, but there’s still no excuse for not having a functioning lock. We would have preferred a physical key.5. There is very little privacy within the house we chose (Soushuku) and the sound travels between all rooms (there is no full wall between the two bedrooms). This could have been communicated better on the listing.The house itself was overall nice, but considering all the issues we faced and the poor level of service, I would not stay with this group again.

Quite hard to get to the check in place, but they do deliver your luggage to your specific inn once you check in. Very nice stay honestly, even though the walls are thin, there's japanese/western style beddings.

Everything was great because he spoke English very well, but when I paid 1,000 yen for an additional 600 yen to enter the Kyoto accommodation, they didn't refund the 400 yen.You can send luggage before 3pm (check-in time) on the check-in date! (One luggage per person, additional charges apply)

Very good check-in and check-out. We could leave our bags there until we took the train. Very good service and everyone is so friendly.
