If you raise a question, the landlord will reply immediately. The room and the entire environment are very clean. Although it is an old house, it is well maintained and the room is very big!

Stayed in Kyoto for our honeymoon, and this little hotel felt like home. We loved the experience of the duplex rooms. Perfect location.

Very convenient location, near Nijo Castle, a traditional Japanese structure with paper walls and tatami. Very clean and helpful and kind staff. The rooms are equipped with Netflix, air conditioning in every room and in general I found the structure very clean. Highly recommended!

I found it on Airbnb and I really liked it. It is not far from the center and there is always a bus stop nearby (in Kyoto, it is easier and faster to get around by bus).The services (bathroom and toilet) are private, but are not adjacent to the room.There is a common room for eating and cooking and watching TV.Very attentive and friendly, they always answered our questions quickly.I would repeat without thinking about it.

The room is small and cute, but the layout is very inconvenient.The private bathroom is outside the door, and there are shared laundry facilities in the bathroom. There is enough space for two suitcases in the living room. There is a toilet in the living room, and the toothpaste for washing is not disposable. To get to the bedroom on the second floor, you need to open two doors, which can directly lead to the VILLA room at the back, which lacks privacy.Convenience stores and supermarkets are nearby. Taking the bus to Shijo and Kyoto is good, but taking the bus from JR Nijo is quite inconvenient.

It's a decent hotel but too small for 4 people, but I like the traditional style. It's a 15-20min walk to the closest stations so unless you're okay spending money on buses get ready to walk a lot
