Pros:

It’s a beautiful building with a small garden. Very convenient location.

Cons:

It’s a struggle that the toilet is upstairs, but you need to go downstairs to wash your hands, because the bathroom is downstairs. Especially if you are staying more than 2 people. There was a really heavy oily food fan smell coming from outside during the day. We had the windows open so it filled the whole floor. Also, it would be good if you could change the used cups as there is no kitchen sink in the building.

We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this for a couple or group of 4 max just mindful of how lunch luggage
Pros:

It was cosy and comfortable. Loved the Japanese style living with the garden view and lighting. It felt very secure and we felt easy when walking around the area. All amenities were there and

Cons:

It was perhaps a little too small for our group. Wouldn't recommend if you have lots of luggage. Also 1 toilet is not convenient for a big group. The sink to wash your hands is connected to the toilet, at first it felt weird but then after you get used to it. Cleaning is completed once throughout the stay and this only includes towels and amenities. Usually you expect a full clean I guess this was a little disappointing.

Nice place in good location
Pros:

Great location. Good size friendly staff. Good shower.

Cons:

No comfortable chairs: but I suppose that’s the design of the traditional Japanese way without a sofa. As previous reviews mentioned sound travels easily from neighbouring rooms, but were warned about this. Slightly annoying that we weren’t provided with a kitchen sink and facilities to clean cups and cutlery: had to ask and then use bathroom sink.

Good location but quite small.
Pros:

Location was great. It was clean and presentable. Washing machine was a bonus.

Cons:

It was a bit tight for a family of 4. Beds were Japanese style (which I didn’t realise when booking).
Quite noisy from neighbours. Quite pricey for the size.

Quiet central spot in Kyoto
Pros:

Great location, it was quiet and had lots of storage space. Good size for a family of 4. There were plenty of useful amenities, and the coffee machine was a brilliant touch! The room absolutely felt more traditional than the usual type of hotel.

Cons:

It would have been good to have soap in each of the toilets, and there was a pink ring around the plug in the main sink. Not a big deal, but not sparkling clean. The table was fine, but there wasn't a nice comfy area to relax after big days of walking.

Pretty, nice location, very thin walls
Pros:

The location was wonderful, just around the corner from some great restaurants and an 8 minute walk from Kyoto Station. The place itself was beautiful with nice size rooms.

Cons:

The noise from every single neighbor we shared walls with was terrible. Loud stomping, snoring, conversations, and more. We could hear every single thing. The two twin beds were not comfortable, either. For adults who don't find it easy to sleep on the mats on the floor in the other room, twin beds aren't the best option, either.

The place itself provided some mugs, glasses, and silverware. However, there was no way to properly clean and reuse them (no dish soap, sponge, kitchen sink) and when room service was completed, all the dirty dishes were still on the table.

While a pretty place, we would not stay here again due to the noise of neighbors and uncomfortable beds.

My family and I are very satisfied with our stay.
Pros:

Everything was clean and tidy. It is considered spacious for a Japanese accommodation, able to fit 3 mid size luggage and 2 small luggage. The location is very near to Kyoto station and bus stops too.
The facilities are great too; washing machine, bath tub, hairdryer, cutleries, microwave… They even provide free leg cooling patch after so much walking!

Cons:

Unfortunately we got the room beside the road, so it can be a little noisy at night as we can hear people talking or car driving pass.

Pros:

I like the bathroom

Cons:

The washer/dryer doesn't fully dry our clothes when it finish the full cycle. Not sure if it's the design or I don't know how to use it. Other than that everything is great.

Great location between 2 incredible temples ina quiet traditional neighborhood near Kyoto station.
Pros:

Great location, comfortable beds and heated floor. Bathroom was wonderful - deep Japanese tub. Laundry facilities are nice to have. Also convenient to have a fridge, microwave, kettle and espresso maker.

Cons:

Would be useful to have a small dish rack, sponge and dish soap for the dishes provided. They have to be washed in the bathroom sink and there’s nowhere to put them after washing (we bought our own sponge). This would be an inexpensive fix and make a very big difference.
