Excellent Quiet Location
Clean, roomy, and convenient location. We stayed for two nights and felt the room was really quite roomy compared to several other places we stayed throughout Japan. There was a fridge, sink, hot pot, tea, coffee, and two chambered restroom. We did not expect there would also be a river view and that was a great surprise. For dinner we enjoyed Dragon Burger where the service and menu were excellent. We then grabbed snacks at the local family mart so that we could have a little breakfast before setting out for Fushimi Inari first daylight. (The shrine is just one train stop away). It was perfect and allowed us to get an early start so that we could see tons of sites on our journey that day. Staying here you will get a very local experience and it will be quite a bit quieter than many places.

Fantastic !
This property is located a short distance from Kyoto Station by train, then 5 minutes walk. The area is very quiet a perfect place to relax without the noise of the big city. Easy connected to different areas. Large bedroom with small kitchen, toilet is separated by the japanese bath. The reception is manager by young people and they speak english always happy to assist you. Traditional and secure. Good price. Enjoy my stay.

First and foremost; had an absolute amazing stay in this property. The locals are super friendly and the area has various small eateries and a convenience store nearby. It is near Tofukuji station which is 1 stop away from Kyoto station and Inari station (if youre planning to go fushimi inari taisha). The room is kept spotless although the toilet is a little small (but then again almost all toilets are small in Japan). But the good thing is the toilet has a climate control which was great. Conveniently theres also a washing machine in the room! The staff is friendly and honest. Id left my gold ring in the toilet, checked out, travelled all the way to osaka when i realised id left my ring in the toilet of the room i was staying at and i just panicked. So i contacted the hotel and not only did they find it and keep it for me, they were also prompt in their replies and had it delivered to my hotel in osaka in 1 day! Im extremely grateful and amazed at their integrity and promptness. Will definitely come back here again!

We love the full kitchen with refrigerator and freezer. The freezer kept the ice cream cold and we were able to make ice. The washing machine was great, we were able get laundry done while were out enjoying the city. Only 5 minutes walk from tofukuji metro stop. Best value property i have stayed in Japan.

This guest house is small and in a quiet residential area. Rooms are self-contained apartments including a comfortable bed and bath with shower which had hot water and good pressure. The shower head is rather small however and the bath too small to lay out in, although it is deeper than most, so you can still cover your knees. The kitchenette was handy, including a hob, microwave and fridge freezer. It was a bit irritating that you have to request utensals/plates etc from reception, we felt these should just be left in the room. Having a washer machine in the room was also helpful, allowing a mid-holiday refresh of the wardrobe (well suit case), with powder available from reception for JPY100 per wash. A feature we did really like was the providing of a mobile phone in the room with international calls and local 4G data access, at know extra charge. This made getting out and about in Kyoto much easier, as we were only using wifi on our personal phones. Wifi at the hotel is provided in all rooms, but we did find it a bit slow. Nearby there are various restaurants and convenience stores. 5mins walk away is Tofakuji station, with regular JR local trains taking just 6mins to reach the main Kyoto station and 45mins if you want to head over to Nara.

Went out of their way to give me a good experience
When I first booked this place I thought I was going to make it during their check-in hours. On the day of my stay, I realized I wasn't going to make it there on time so I dialed the number and told them of my circumstances. They placed my room key in a secure locked box and e-mailed me specific instructions to open the box at any hour of the night. In addition, because this isn't a hotel per se, there were other non-standard amenities like a washing machine, a kitchenette, and even a mobile phone guests could rent during their stay (all of which I didn't use). This resulted in a more spacious and comfortable room. Regarding the surrounding area, this place is in a quiet residential neighborhood and a short walk away from Tofukuji Station. The name is on the side of the building in big, glowing letters so it was easy to find at night even when I made a wrong turn. There's a convenience store between the station and the guesthouse so going hungry wasn't an issue. Checking out was a breeze and the staff were super-nice. All in all, this was an amazing deal and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to stay near Central Kyoto.

Check-in is not opened 24 hours. We arrived after the check-in hours. They sent us an email and also left us a hardcopy with clear instructions on how to get our key. Service was generally okay, though after 2 weeks in Japan we've become accustomed to a certain level of service.

The Riverside was a great place to stay during a 4 day trip to Kyoto in April, 2018. It's very clean and was in great condition. Pros: - Close to train stations - Lots of little dinner restaurants and convenience stores in the area. - Clean and felt safe - Big, comfortable rooms and beds (room for 3 actually had 3 beds !) - Nice hot shower Cons - No breakfast places nearby, but there is a kitchen in the suite (with pots and plates available from the front desk) - Road across the river can get busy and noisy at night and we were woken up by emergency vehicles twice during our stay
