5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 4, 2013 via mobile

This guesthouse was completely clean and had working wifi. A bus stop right outside the door. Not much decorating in the rooms (they were completely white) but they were clean. The only bad thing was that it was in a part of Kyoto that was really quiet, not many restaurants or sights in walking distance but you can take a... More

It's a great value for your money. The room is very spacious and clean. The area is also quiet so you can have a good night's rest (our room is at the back so I'm not sure about the road side rooms). The location is not so accessible except by bus so it is necessary to do a little research... More

I stayed here for one night during the peak autumn season when Kyoto is really full. I found this guest house/ apartment in one booking site and didn't expect much because it's so cheap. But it was perfect from the start. The place is squeaky clean, has awesome bathtub *with TV!*, and has a fully equipped kitchen. The check in... More
