洗面、シャワールーム、お手洗いなどの共用部分に直結する廊下は吹き抜けなので晩秋〜春先までは寒いのでご注意ください。 立地が大変良く、宿泊オンリーと割り切るならとても良い場所です! お世話になりました、ありがとうございます。

Liked: Amenities
enjoyed the interaction of guest house culture, its quite surprised to charge all amenities. The location was excellent which was only 3 - 4 mins to JR kyoto station. Cleanliness was good. The only thing need to improve is- the full english name from expedia was different/ unclear from the name plated signal at the entrance, it took me another 10 mins to figure out the hotel location. Anyways its a good experience to stay at guest house in kyoto

超棒的青旅
旅館離車站非常近,去景點都非常方便 內部裝潢很雅緻,老闆人也非常親切,因為中間跟友人離開京都三天需要寄放行李,老闆也願意讓我們寄放,省掉不少麻煩 下次來京都絕對要再來住一次!!

一個人京都遊好選擇
雖然地方細細,但可感受日本傳統家庭感覺,也可認識唔同地方旅客,店主田中先生是個識基本英語的,但不要預期會有認識你國語言人士招呼你,這不是五星級酒店

外人に人気のゲスト
京都駅から徒歩で行ける近さです。 築1年だったのでとても新しく綺麗に感じました。 ベットがカーテンで仕切られるのでプライバシーが保てて快適でした。 私が宿泊した時は日本人は私の他に1人だけ。後は全部外人。 夜ドミトリーでは女子トーク会が始まり超盛り上がりました。

petit guesthouse a la mode japonaise - c'est à dire avec un couchage en mode futon traditionnel - très propre et a 5 minutes de la gare de Kyoto

非常推薦的日式建築旅館
距離地鐵站2分鐘, 方便好找, 日式建築很有風味, 雖然是公用衛浴, 但保持得很乾淨, 房間數少環境單純. 很高興第一次來京都就選到這間旅館, 值得再來住一次.

Traditional Guest House
The guest house seemed very traditional and I really wanted that experience. The bed was not as comfortable as most hotels, but I was able to sleep fine. It was very clean and nice. I would recommend staying here!
