This is the most considerate and favorite hotel I have ever stayed in. The house is an old building renovated, and the interior design has many details, from the stone on the ground to the hand-carved wood grain on the door panels and floors. The raised patio in the public space makes the whole thing brighter and more open. .Although the bathroom is shared, it is very clean, tidy, and has everything you need. I can deeply feel the owner's care for the space and hospitality.The owner of the B&B is an Italian. He is very funny and considerate. He will recommend some private attractions and care about whether you are used to the accommodation and whether there is anything you need help with. For those who travel alone, they can truly feel the warmth of home in a foreign place. .I will definitely stay here again when I go to Kyoto again.

A beautiful Japanese home, with the kindest hosts! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. It was so lovely to come home and receive warm greetings asking about my day. Moreover, they were proactive in sharing tips and recommendations, and even went through the trouble of helping me recover a lost item!Highly recommend staying here when you visit Kyoto! You can expect great wifi, a comfortable night’s sleep, and the best hosts!

An exceptional performance! The refinement and quality of the restoration of this old Kyoto residence are matched only by the hospitality and kindness of its hosts. A stone's throw from Nijō-jō Castle and close to several direct bus lines to Kyoto Station, Kokonoe Machiya is the ideal place to stay for a few days in Kyoto.
