It was great seeing an authentic machiya from the inside rather than from the street. It was even better to stay in one for two weeks. The guest house was beautiful and really took me back in time. It looked full of history - Kyoto of old. I loved the black wood and the concrete floor in the reception and kitchen area, the steep stairs, the tatami, and the creaking floorboards. So much better than a hotel. Shower was clean and hot. The guest house is in a perfect location in a very traditional, quiet, local shopping arcade. The subway station is pretty much next door and it is convenient for many bus routes. It is also walking distance to Gion, Nishiki Market, Heian Shrine, Chion-in and Yasaka Shrine, Nanzen-ji, Kawaramachi, etc. I walked to Kinkaku-ji from the guest house :-) There are also many lovely cafes and restaurants within a two-minute walk.

The hostel was really close to everything, specially to the old Kyoto. The zone was peacefull and it has a lot of stores for late snacks or similar. The metro was also really close by. About the facilities it was nice to sleep on a futon and be in a traditional tatami room. Of course, the price was really good and my opinion you´re geeting what you´re paying. For me It was a nice experience but I would not repeat the hotel if I come back to Kyoto.

I was worried about noise from other guests based on previous reviews, but everything was fine and it was quiet. This is accommodation in the original Japanese style, which we liked very much. The accommodation is within walking distance of the historic center. This is contactless accommodation, the accommodation operator was online at any time. The shower and toilet are on the lower floor, where you have to go down steep and creaky stairs.

The guesthouse was 3 minutes away from Higasiyama metro station and Gion temple was also at walkable distance. It's pretty convinient and located in an old block. The atmosphere of the house was nice and could really enjoy the japanese Kotatsu in public area.

Perfect position, great quality/price ration, nice common spaces, and amenities (bicycles, washing machine, kitchen). Fantastic old structure that gives you a true "old time accommodation" experience. Room are big and we'll furnished. Instructions clear
