New, neat and comfortable place to stay i Kyoto

Lodging in Kyoto is expensive, and this guesthouse was the most we spent on any hotel during our 10-day stay in Japan. This place was, however reasonable by Kyoto standards. The location is in a quiet side street in an upscale part of town - about 20 minutes by a city bus from the train station, and just 3-4 minutes walk from the bus stop. The hostess speaks fluent English and German. The room was well equipped and maintained. The mattress was comfortable and the comforter and pillow perfect by my standard. They have a kitchenette in the lobby and you can leave food you buy in their refrigerator. We left for sightseeing before the simple breakfast was served in the AM’s - so I can’t comment on that. We would certainly stay here again!

Me encantó la estancia en esta casa de huéspedes por las instalaciones y su ubicación en una zona súper tranquila. La habitación es amplia y muy limpia, además el colchón de la cama estaba súper suave y esponjoso. Está a unos 15 minutos caminando del parque que rodea el Kyoto Imperial Palace, muy recomendable para caminar y relajarse. Ya que es una casa de huéspedes, la comunicación e información que te dan antes de la estancia es más casual que con un hotel. Y fue muy agradable saber que algunos de los anfitriones hablaban español. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme aquí. Fue parte de lo que hizo mi experiencia en Kyoto tan bonita.

Comfy hotel close to Nijojo castle

This hotel was a breathe of fresh air whilst travelling in Japan. The rooms were spacious and the beds were really comfortable. They also serve a light continental breakfast which was a welcome change! The staff were friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There’s even a washing machine to wash your clothes. Hotel is one bus from Kyoto station and it’s easy to get around the city. We will definitely stay again if we are in Kyoto

築浅物件と思われる。施設自体はきれい。 ただ、ゲストハウスのせいか、壁、ガラスが薄く、隣室の声が夜に聞こえる。ゆっくりするには適さない。 また、朝ご飯はコンビニで買ったパンとヨーグルト、そしてフルーツを並べただけのもので、朝食とは呼べないもの、と思えた。

Great little guesthouse

A great little guesthouse - small and friendly. In a great location - just a couple of minutes from bus stop and close to ninjijo castle . Basic breakfast of pastries, yoghurt and fruit. Use of fridge and freezer very useful - you could also use the kitchen to cook meals but we didn’t do this.
