"It was very special experience to stay at Japanese traditonal house with my family. It was a little bit far from the main sightseeing site but we were ok because we had a car. Kinkakuji was especially awesome."

"Not the easiest place to find, would suggest a sign between the two other buildings, it’s opp the Police station. At the rear of the front buildings. However once you have found it, the accommodation is great. Easy walk to buses or taxi to wherever.
Great place would recommend, just remember it’s down an alley!"

"We really enjoyed staying in a real house in a real neighborhood for our trip to Kyoto. There was plenty of room for our small family, and we felt we had a more authentic visit to this beautiful city. A couple things to note for those who read reviews is that the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep and narrow, and I worried for my husband navigating them in the dark at night. The bed in the second bedroom is on the floor, which isn't a bad thing considering this is an authentic experience,...

"This Kyoto hostel completely overturned my impression of local accommodations being typically cramped. Very clean and comfortable. High-quality beddings.The living room was surprisingly spacious—easily accommodating our big group with over ten large suitcases! Located near Fushimi Inari Shrine and Tofukuji Temple, it was very peaceful at night. We had brought thick bedding, worried that Kyoto might be cold, but the rooms were extremely comfortable. When we asked for more bowls, chopsticks, and a...

"Great host and communication. The house is cozy and it had everything we needed. The air conditioning was great in the Japanese heatwave. In just under 10 minutes, you can walk to some of the nicest streets in Kyoto with temples and cafes.
However, everything around there closes quite early and becomes really quiet - so be aware if it’s not your vibe. Not a big deal for me, though.
The only real issue is that the property is not very accessible: the closest bust stop is about 15 min away and...

"Hotel Granvia Kyoto is a very nice, clean, and exceptionally well-positioned hotel. The location is excellent, with plenty of food, entertainment, and shopping nearby.
The amenities felt somewhat lacking from a Western perspective. Having to pay an additional fee to use the gym, for example, seems unusual compared with typical U.S. hotel standards.
The biggest disappointment was the condition of the corridors, which were not particularly clean and had a noticeable cigarette smell. That detracted from an otherwise very pleasant stay. Admittedly, some of these impressions may reflect differences between Japanese and U.S. hotel standards.
Staff was excellent and very accomodating"
"The location can not be beat. Opposite Nishiki market and a walk away from shopping, temples and shrines.
Rooms are tiny. There were 3 of us. The beds are close together and there is minimal extra space.
The sink, toilet and shower are all separate which was great because someone could shower while someone else could brush their teeth etc. the sink was in the room.
Free small cup of sake at night. Free coffee/hot chocolate.
Laundry - 4 machines. Washer/dryer combo. Takes 2 hours a load. Drying takes extra time if you are adding jeans etc. this was busy. Had to go stake out machines.
We had a lovely stay. Room was small but we were not in it all day except for sleeping."
"-Reception staff were a bit aloof.
-Staff in the restaurant where breakfast was served, were very friendly and helpful.
- Guest lounge is spacious and relaxing, you can help yourself with a drink (hot or cold) while planning for your day.
- Room is very clean
- Location is perfect, it’s just opposite to the station with many amenities nearby
- Breakfast is not to be missed
- Will stay in this hotel again"
"Great location, walking distance to delicious restaurants and Kyoto Station. Very helpful staff and clean, modern facilities. We will come back soon! Thank you."
