Disliked: 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！！

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

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。

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.

Awesome, Traditional, Conveniently near Trains

Probably my favorite stay throughout my 10 days stay. This place is very homely and has a really nice japanese feel to it. I would call it a modern Ryokan? The decorations are very traditional, and the whole place has a lovely natural wood scent. The host is a very easy going person, and the check in process is also extremely easy going. Would have wanted to stay an extra night if they had availability :(

굿굿

친구랑 둘이 다녀왔는데 너무 좋았어요! 지진때문에 다른 팀이 취소했다고 저희만 써서도 좋았던 것 같아요. 다른 후기와 달리 샤워실은 2곳이었고, 화장실 2곳이었습니다. 다만 2층으로 올라가는 계단이 좀 가파른 것 같아요. 친구랑 둘이 캐리어를 힘들게 끌고 올라가고 내려왔습니다. 에어컨도 완전 빵빵하고 샤워실도 좋고 드라이기도 있고 거실에는 선풍기, 냉장고도 있고.. 게다가 스탭이 너무너무너무너무 친절해요! 영어도 잘하시고 좋아요~

駅からのアクセスは抜群

駅から近く、アクセスはとてもよかったです。また、値段も安く、部屋も綺麗でした。ただ、女性専用ドミトリーは、部屋が狭く、広々と使うことは出来ないです。また、各ベッドに電気がないため、部屋全体の電気をつけたり消したりする必要があるため、他人のガサゴソする音や足音等が気になる方は、控えた方が良いかもしれません。また、共用スペースにあるテーブルが小さく、仕事をするには向いておりません。
