I highly recommend Kotoha Umamachi to anybody visiting Kyoto. The facility is very clean, seems like it was renovated or remodeled recently. It is located on a quiet side street in the southern Higashiyama neighborhood. Don't be worried by its proximity to a busy road and an overpass, it is a quiet area. I stayed in a double room, it came with a kitchenette and a washing machine for laundry in the room. Very convenient! Value for money was also excellent.
It is spaciuos, comfortable and clean. That was what I like most. The only thing I dislike is that it provides only one thin pillow per person and refuse to provide one more even if I'm willing to pay extra.
This was a very nice guest house in a really fantastic location. Walking distance to a lot of really great places, and close to several bus stops that get where you want to go in Kyoto. It IS a guest house, not a hotel, so there is not really a "front desk" and there's not any sort of daily maid cleaning or anything. For us the only challenge with that was timing check in, and if your room is ready you can check in early for 1,000 yen. And then after you're checked in, you're pretty much on your own in a tiny apartment in Kyoto! We were worried about the location being so close to a major overpass, but our room literally faced it and we heard nothing ever. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend it!
My wife and I spent two nights in Kotoha Kiyomizu Guest House and we were really positively surprised.
Positive points: hotel team, service that they offer (trunk delivery), clean room with new furnitures.
Point to be improved: a better explantion how to find the guest house, as it is located in a small street next to a bridge.
I really enjoy staying here, as it is basically like renting a small Japanese apartment. Unless I'm only staying someplace for a few days I prefer accommodations like this, with a kitchen and washing machine. The small veranda with sliding doors is also nice, as guests are able to enjoy fresh air, unlike most modern hotels where you have no choice but to breath recirculated air. The staff here are also very nice, and made our stay even more enjoyable!
If you're new to Japan, and especially if you're only visiting Kyoto for a few days, you would probably be better off just staying in a regular hotel, but if you're already familiar with this country, and especially for long stays, this guesthouse is an excellent option.
The guesthouse is awesome and so convenient. Everything is really modern and streamlined too. The check in was an ease and the room was simple yet had a lot of amenities. It was great to do laundry in our own room!
Empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für einen längeren Aufenthalt in Kyoto. Dank Mikrowelle und Waschmaschine kann man auch problemlos mal was selbst machen und waschen. Extrem sauber und sehr freundliches Personal. Fahrräder können für 500 bzw. 700 ¥ gemietet werden für 24h. Gion ist zudem auch gut zu Fuss erreichbar
Guesthouse is within walking distance of main attractions and also has a bus stop nearby. Staff was very friendly upon arrival. The apartment is clean and comfortable. We didn't understand why there wasn't any cutlery or crockery in the kitchen. It appeared that you rent this for a small fee at reception. We'll definitely recommend staying at this guesthouse.
