I wanted to like this place. The staff were friendly. Laundry was free. The facilities looked well maintained. But the noise was not good. First, the doors are all chimed, make a loud noise moving the bolt, and close with a loud clang! At first I thought it was careless door slamming, but even if you close the door gently it makes a loud clack from the lock and door lock. So unless you want to hear "chime, whirr! Clunk!" You may want to rethink this place. Another, temporary?, problem was a loud Australian guest who talked loudly and constantly to anyone who would listen. Literally, i could hear her voice from the 1st floor to the 2nd with my door closed. From 9pm to past 10 pm she didnt stop. On rising the next morning she's loudly talking to someone else. I could not enjoy the lounge without earplugs. This went on for hours, every day. If you go here maybe she'll be gone if you are lucky. If not for the noise and bad guest I'd have given this place a good rating.

This is a unique hostel with its Japanese charm. Place is in excellent location—- about 15- minutes walk to Kyoto station, a couple minutes to a subway station & to bus stops. I was able reach popular destinations easily with public transportation. Convenient store & McDonald’s are just a couple minutes walk as well. Though, good to venture local restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I definitely felt safe. Very close to a scenic river. I had a double room with a bunk bed. However, I happened to not have a roommate & had the room all to myself! It has a window. Charming bed, with Japanese mattress & pillow. There’s a rooftop terrace. Laundry is inexpensive—only 100 yen for both wash & dry. Tea bags of different variety are available & complimentary. I specifically like the one of brown rice. I got to meet & talk with other people from other countries while at the lobby. It was fun! Mr. Ace is a wonderful host. He speaks excellent English, very accommodating, down-to-earth, helpful of suggestions of places to see in Kyoto. Provided assistance with my huge luggage in check-in & check-out process. I need to travel lightly next time. I highly recommend this charming hostel. Will definitely come back!

A taste of Japanese hospitality!!
We visited from Manchester New Hampshire USA and the Guesthouse WindVilla is a great location if you want to experience all that Kyoto has to offer. The staff at the Guesthouse Wind Villa were hospitable and always helpful. The Guesthouse is kept in a clean and great condtion. I highly recommend a stay there if you plan to visit Kyoto.

Not only two minutes from the station which can take you to Osaka in less than an hour, but also a ~25min walk from Gion. The entire building was new and well maintained, plus very decent amenities within. Also within walking/biking distance of Fushimi Inari shrine, plus many other famous temples (and some not so well known).
