This house was in a great location! We were able to walk the Gion District as well as cross the river and shop the Nishiki Market area. For others who might consider staying here, please know that the house is small. If you are tall or big, this might not be a great choice. You also can hear EVERYTHING from the people staying below. As simple as a sneeze can be heard upstairs. So if you want privacy, or you are a loud person, this location might not be for you. Booking and communication was great and super easy. Lots of directions on how everything works which was nice. Again, such a great location.

ホテルと書いてあるが実質ゲストハウスみたいな施設です。内部は綺麗でしたが、スタッフの対応が果たして値にあっているか疑問です。 フロントのスタッフは客室内の施設や資材の使い方、管理状況についてまったく知らず、上司と思われる者の対応を待つことしかできませんでした。 追加のタオルはないかとホテルのマネージャーにスタッフを通じて相談したところ、ベッドの下に予備があると言われましたが、そこには何もありませんでした。 恐らく普段客室の資材状況を確認・管理していないのでしょう。 私もサービス業をやっているので、教育の無さにがっかりせざるを得ませんでした。 客室事態はベッドの布団もよく、キッチンが使えてよかったです。

祇園から近く非常に便利な場所で、古民家を改良し京都を感じる事ができ満足いく旅行が出来ました！ 強いて言うなら2階の離れ？にあるお風呂は外からは見えないフィルムを貼るかせめて上側の窓ガラスだけでもぼかし窓風にするか等して頂けたら幸いだと感じました。

Memorable place to stay!

This traditional Japanese home was exactly how we envisioned it. It was clean, the floors were heated, an unexpected surprise. Very clean and comfortable. Right in the heart of Gion, so many restaurants and things to see and do. Great for couples or families, highly recommended it!

Authentic Japanese with modern amenities, washrooms. Very clean. Location fantastic. Despite being blocks from Gion geisha district it was really quiet.

ok

Just ok. Yes the location is great. But the place itself is kind of underwhelming for the price. Nobody checks you in and after a long day of travel it’s a bummer to have to figure everything out yourself without any human interaction. The place is smaller than the pictures look. The set up is just not that comfortable for the price. The open air tub isn’t that useable as it’s in a bedroom and not a bath area. The toilet and shower space is small and the outdoor table is unusable in colder seasons like November. It’s also awkward that one bedroom is outside the rest of house and other bedroom shares wall with toilet & is super small. The washer/dryer worked great!

Nice clean house. Too expensive compared to hotels in area. Great area close to shrines, restaurants, and subways. Not enough privacy shades in 2nd bedroom separated from main living area.

Me gustó mucho porque es como vivir en tu propia casita japonesa. Uno mismo tiene que atender la limpieza, la organización, preparase sus alimentos (tiene lo suficiente en su cocina). Estuvimos en el segundo piso, es una excelente vista a uno de los templos.

Let me start off by saying the location was excellent. Mostly walkable to Major sites. That was the great thing. The communication was on point as well. Now the negative, the Japanese style bed was like sleeping on rocks, literally. My hips were bruised from sleeping on my sides. This room was separated by a walkway outside. This means anytime you needed to use the bathroom you have to walk outside. This really sucks if it’s in the middle of the night. Additionally it was raining, a lot, so that was a negative. The rooms were tiny, ceilings low. Pictures advertised weren’t on point so this was deceiving. The main area living space was very small so we could barely enjoy being together when taking breaks from long hikes in the heat. There was a small spider in one of the beds. It was muggy and humid indoors. There was a lack of pillows and just overall comfort. I don’t like to be a negative person and say bad things but I have to be fair to others with fair warning.
