    The checm-in system is a little dated. Depends on the owner being there. A check-in code would have been easier for everybody. Apart from that a great stay.

    Great price quality. Big apartment. Washing machine amd dryer. Friendly owner.

    I didnt like the room now compared before but its not bad its just that the room the last time i checked in was really nice. i think it was in the 2nd floor. Currently I stayed in the room 501 so it was not the same probably the room was older compared to the 2nd floor. But overall may stay was really great.

    I really love staying at Fuji Heights. This is my second time staying with them. Easy check in, great location, very near to a train station and very near to dotunburi. Recommending this hostel to other people also.

    Very friendly, helpful and generous host who facilitated a late check in for us. This studio apartment was humble but very cosy and had all the facilities needed to feel at home.

    Some facilities such as the washing machine were old and a bit difficult to use.

    Plenty of available facilities - Guest computer, small kitchen area, as well as info about the surrounding area provided. The room was very spacious and clean. The location is also convenient.

    Reasonably good room but a bit congested for a family of four

    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Climbing upstairs (level 2) with heavy luggage could be an issue if you don't have teenage children with you. Facilities are old but good working condition. Mattresses could be better for winter. Small but manageable for short stay. We had to clean up the lint in the cloth dryer - as clothes were moist even after 2 -3 hours of drying - when we have limited time, wasting 2 hours is not ideal. it would be good if this is maintained well. Taxi fare (booked) while we are returning to Kyoto Station on 31st Dec was additional JPY 2000 on top of the ~1500, which i felt too much. Of course, it was 31st December, not many taxis are available to this location. If not for our luggage, we would have taken public transport - nearest train station is 10- 12 minutes walk.

    Mr Mori provided us with detailed instructions how to reach the place, this is very useful for us when taking a taxi from Kyoto Station. I booked this as we are family of our people and thought it is reasonably priced during this period of the year (December 29-30, 2023). Mr Mori was responsive when we checked at around 9 pm and afterwards - as there were some issues with the air conditioner. Sticky note instructions all over the apartment were useful as well. A lot of kitchen utensils available - useful for our breakfast and dinner (we are vegetarians). Thank you Mr Mori for your help and for arranging taxi for us to go to Kyoto Station on 31st December 2023 - rainy morning.

    To be picky I would say you can hear street noises evening and early morning from sleeping in the bunk bed in the kitchen (if you are a light sleeper like me) but nothing that ear plugs couldn't sort out. Nothing negative to say.

    The apartment has 4 single beds, 2 in the main room and a bunk bed in the kitchen area. It's a bit cramped but works well for sleeping and breakfast. There is a kitchen, table, fridge freezer, washing machine, dryer and a balcony. Bathroom and toilet are clean and the place is nice and cute. Not big but was very practical for us. There is a computer if needed. It's 12mins walk from the JR line (which is 1 stop away from Kyoto station so very convenient). There are plenty of great and cheap restaurants and convenience stores around. The owner is very kind, speaks English and explained which restaurants were the best for breakfast, lunch or dinner (everything within walking distance). We had a great stay.

    Fully furnished and clean room. There are quite a few kitchen utensils, convenient for simple cooking.

    Kinda old building. Towels were not clean at all, there was huge stains on towels! Sheets are also had hairs on it.

    A real Japanese house. Comparatively spacious. The owner was sweetest! He even gifted my brother a very traditional Japanese wear. He also had a book which has every markets, restrorants etc in it with english explanation! There was a computer.

    It was really great... everything you need with the family, like you are at home... but if I were to be picky we were told to open the sliding window from time to time to refresh the air.

    Great location. We were also lucky to get the garage parking. The staff was very supportive and kind.

    The place where we stay is not the one we that was advertised on Booking. We booked 2 bedrooms but it was one only room that with an half size curtain and half slide door was separating 2 beds from other 2 in the kitchen area. Meaning that there was no privacy at all and we woke up each other every time we were using the bathroom or the kitchen. The worst part is that it was dirty, absolutely not what I expected when booking it. I'm not happy with this stay

    It was close to the metro station...15 minutes walk

    Nothing to complain at all.

    We love this apartment very much. But what we love the most was the courteous and kindness of the owner. He was indeed helpful with full of information about Kyoto since we checked it. Even more, he has our own language guide book ( Thai language ) for his guests and I am sure, he spent time lot of time to make it for his guests carefully. ( he has many languages guide books ). We were so impressed his supports. Thank you so so much. This apartment gave the feeling of special general Japanese life style. The room is suitable for family with 2 children but we traveled with 4 adults and facilities of the room are super convinient. There are washing machine and drying machine inside the room and seperate small kitchen which very good to enjoy eating and speaking with friends in the evening. We were so happy to stay at thid place and for sure, we will come back again once we get a chance to visit Kyoto again. Thank you very much.
