love visiting the temple up hill early morning
Pros:

Inside the apartment is new and comfortable. Excellent location to explore the old city

Cons:

If in case arriving during the busy time. Don’t take the bus to the apartment with your luggages. Get uber - much experience. We hopped we were informed that.

Aanrader
Pros:

Rustige plek, lekker bed, comfortabel, ruim, schoon. Dichtbij bezienswaardigheden.

Cons:

Ons appartement was niet echt bedoeld voor self-catering. Weinig keukengerei geen tafel en maar twee stoelen (meer passen ook niet). Alle cafes zijn 's avonds gesloten. Daarvoor moet je meer richting stad.

Super séjour!
Pros:

La proximité du temple, de Gion, des restos. L’appartement était très propre, l’hôte super accueillant et aux petits soins

Cons:

Nous avions réservé une chambre pour 3, il n’y avait que deux lits de 120, ça a été un peu juste mais on s’en est sorti!

Great Kyoto find
Pros:

Great for a group of 5, washer/dryer come in handy, the host was very informative and helpful.

Cons:

Maybe a bit far from subway station in Japan's July scorching hot weather. Maybe we should use bus route more often.

Pros:

위치는 아주 좋았습니다.
청수사 택시와 버스 타는곳 바로 밑이었어요.
숙소 자체는 깔끔했음. 새벽에 일찍 청수사를 방문하려는 계획으로 이 숙소를 잡았으나 전혀 가지 못했음. 왜냐면 거리상은 청수사가 가까울지 모르지만 오르막길이라 엄두가 안남

Cons:

다만 짐이 있는 상태에서 버스나 택시 타는곳에서 숙소를 가려면 계단으로만 되어 있고
관광지라서 그런지 17시 이후에는 주변 편의점이나 슈퍼는 아예 없고 식당도 없어서 택시타고 10분거리의 기온으로 가야 됨.
숙소에서 큰길로 15분정도 걸어가는 곳에 편의점 있음. 큰길 편의점 갔다가 숙소오는 길은 오르막길이라 힘들었음.
숙소 관리자와 연락하려면 방법이 없었고 부킹닷컴을 통해 연락을 하면 답변이 안왔음. 숙소에 관해 문의하였으나 답변은 전혀 받을 수 없었음. 숙소의 구조는 정확히 ㄱ자임. 통로같은 ㄱ 자였음. 통로는 한사람 지나갈 정도, 솔직히 교토 따로 여행갈 계획은 있으나 다시 예약은 안할거 같음. 너무 힘들었던 기억이라 ....

Pros:

This is by far the best hotel and the best value for money I’ve ever stayed at in Japan/Kyoto. Everything in the room is new, modern, and spotlessly clean. The location was also excellent—very close to major tourist attractions and extremely convenient for getting around. There were plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, yet the accommodation remained peaceful and quiet at all times.

The host was incredibly kind and welcoming. They gave us great recommendations for sightseeing spots and local restaurants, and even took the time to show us how to use the various facilities and appliances in the room.

I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Kyoto.

Magnifique! Merci 🙏🏻
Pros:

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans cet hébergement à Kyoto et nous le recommandons sans la moindre hésitation.

L’emplacement est tout simplement exceptionnel, à deux pas du célèbre temple Kiyomizu-dera. Le quartier est magnifique, avec ses ruelles pleines de charme, ses petites boutiques traditionnelles, ses cafés et son atmosphère typiquement japonaise. C’était un véritable plaisir de séjourner dans un endroit aussi bien situé et de pouvoir découvrir ce quartier à pied.

Nous tenons également à remercier chaleureusement notre hôte, qui a été d’une grande gentillesse tout au long de notre séjour. Toujours disponible, dynamique et très serviable, il a largement contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié nos échanges avec lui.

La chambre était très confortable, parfaitement entretenue et très agréable. Les lits étaient excellents et la literie de grande qualité, ce qui nous a permis de très bien nous reposer. Nous avons également beaucoup aimé la salle de bain, moderne, spacieuse et très agréable à utiliser.

Tout était réuni pour passer un séjour inoubliable à Kyoto. Nous remercions sincèrement notre hôte pour son accueil chaleureux et son professionnalisme.

Sans aucun doute, si nous revenons à Kyoto, c’est ici que nous choisirons de séjourner à nouveau. Une adresse que nous recommandons avec grand plaisir !

Cons:

RIEN!

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location, but Some Improvements Needed
Pros:

Overall, we had a comfortable stay at Kyo no Yado En, and the location was excellent. It is within easy walking distance of Kyoto's historic attractions, including Sannenzaka, Ninenzaka, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it a perfect base for exploring the city.

Unfortunately, our arrival did not get off to a good start. Our booking was mixed up with another family's, and we were mistakenly told to leave the property. The situation became even more uncomfortable when the neighbouring residents, who were understandably frustrated by the confusion, confronted us. It was a stressful first impression that could have been avoided with better booking management and communication.

Once the issue was resolved, we enjoyed our stay and found the accommodation comfortable. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. For a family of four, the apartment was not stocked with enough kitchenware, toiletries, or mirrors, which made it less convenient than expected.

Despite the disappointing check-in experience, the excellent location and comfortable accommodation made for an enjoyable stay overall. With better organisation at check-in and a few additional amenities for larger groups, this would be an easy place to recommend.

Fantástico
Pros:

La ubicación es estupenda en una zona con todo el encanto tradicional japonés. A unos minutos a pie de Kiyomizu Dera y de las calles tradicionales de Gion. Las instalaciones son nuevas y todo super limpio. Las camas/almohadas comodísimas. El anfitrión Yutaka es de 10, siempre disponible para lo que necesites y dar recomendaciones. En la calle hay un sitio para alquilar unos kimonos preciosos y que resulta muy práctico. Recomiendo 100% este alojamiento
