Amazing person our host. She literally saved my life when I lost all my meds in the train terminal and she went out of her way to get me a doctor and drive me to the hospital. Thank you Mickael.

Amazing, to be honest It was a small inn- with a common area for night snacks and stuff... and you get yourself a little comfy room again, do not expect a large room but rather japanese standard room size

Easy to reach any transportation (bus, Randen, and JR), which let me go any famous place to hang out and go sightseeing. The place was quiet, clean and tidy.

Convenient location near the station. A lovely owner. Not for fussy people but if you’re just after a cheap place with a bed and shower etc then it’s a fine place. Basic but comfortable enough

Absolute class act. One of the best hotels I have stayed at, especially for the price point. Room came with a bidet and an in-suite shower. Absolute godsend for my needs and was close to a convenience store, laundromat, and other businesses. Train station was less than a 5 minute walk. Amenities were perfect and covered every possible need. Safe to say this is the best hotel in Kyoto.

10/10

If you wanna stay away from the caravans of tourists. That's your spot! Nice, clean and with a good soul. Fresh rooms. Maybe a bit loud from the passing train signal near by. But for me was it a good choice. No clear glas Windows. Trainstations from JR and the Tram. You will be fast in the Bamboo Groove and Kyōto Station.

Amazing place, super clean and I think newly renovated. When i arrived I had a bit of a fever that grew pretty high, and the landlord nursed me back to health and brought me water and food everyday!

旅宿接待阿姨超級有善，會用 Google 翻譯與你親切的對話與為你著想，環境整體像是住在家裡一樣的感覺，路口不遠處有一間好吃的天下一品，離全家也不遠，是一個讓人會想再次入住的地方！

Great place to stay near Arashiyama. Walkable distance to JR Uzumasa station and some Randen station I forgot the name. The hotel is overall very clean with all required facilities. Given the price, it was a no brainer. The lady was really nice and kind and helped with every requirement, despite not understanding English.

コスパがとても良い 洗濯機もドラム式乾燥機付きなので持ち込む衣類も少なく済み旅行に最適 スタッフも親切な対応で満足 不満というほどでもないけど ・エレベーターがないのでキャリーケースを階段で運ぶ必要があること ・お湯が出るまで一分程度待つ必要あり また利用したい施設でした

甥が受験のため利用させていただきました。 事前にチェックインの時間など連絡いただき、丁寧ですが気さくな感じの印象でした。 宿泊した甥も綺麗なお部屋で安心して過ごせたようです。 『トイレとシャワーがあってめっちゃ綺麗』と写真を撮って送ってくれました。 他にも宿泊者の方がいらっしゃったようですが静かに過ごせたとのことでした。 安くて綺麗でとてもよかったです。 私自身も泊まってみたいです。 また機会がありましたらよろしくお願いします。
