The location is a bit further away from main attractions, by walking, but was close to a train station that it wasn’t much of an inconvenience.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The beds were comfy and the room & bathroom were clean. The breakfast was decent enough for the price as well. Emiko was a great host and went above and beyond with literally everything. I’d definitely visit again.

Clean, modern and quiet, a lovely breakfast and the location was excellent - quiet but close to everything!

We loved our stay!

Absolutely delighted with our stay. Emiko-san is an amazing host and gave us lots of recommendations for local travel and amenities. She even helped us to the correct metro station platform for our next destination on our last day. The room was lovely and quiet, and plenty of amenities provided. The area was fab as it was well-connected for travel on public transport, but away from the tourist hotspots so it was quiet. Nearby are lots of convenience stores and a whole variety of restaurants - we tried a different place every night. We would 100% stay here again if visiting Kyoto.

I felt safe and cared for here. My host and her family were generous with their time, and they went out of their way to help me find my way around. The room was lovely and the breakfast tasty, and it was presented with beautiful little extras. Arigato gozaimas!

It was a family owned Inn and Emiko and her family have been really friendly and welcoming. The room was really nice and lovely especially the comfortable bed. Thank you

I was not used to the noise of air con but it's more about my personal sensitivity to the noise. It was better on the second night as I am kinda getting used to it.

Good location to explore Kyoto. Walking distance to Sanjusangendo temple and Kyoto national museum and about 30 minutes walk to Kiyomizu-dera. It is also convenient to the other area for food and activities. Plus, Emiko and her families were always being nice and helpful. Emiko also offered to give me a lift to the Kyoto station on the day of check-out. I will definitely recommend Kyo-anthu inn to my friends.

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, giving us useful advice on how to move around the town. Emiko speaks very good English. The hotel room looks just like in the photos posted on their website, and everything is very clean. The breakfast was fresh and slightly different each morning. The hotel is also well placed, just a few minutes walking from the bus station and the Keihan train Line (which reaches many touristic objectives in the city and up to Osaka).

Nothing!

Our room was amazing- light, spacious, very clean and comfortable. The hosts were great.

A small family owned hotel with 3 rooms in total. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Their hospitality is outstanding! They even drove me to Kyoto station after the stay. Thank you again for the wonderful stay! :-)

It's a small guesthouse with few rooms. It's simple and cosy. Breakfast is served in the room. The welcome is warm and the owners, Emiko and her family, are very kind and helpful. She gave me some good restaurant adresses and offered to take me back to the train station. The guesthouse is close to a metro station (5min) and a convenience store. The main train station is 15-20 min away. I highly recommend it to people looking for a quiet place in Kyoto.

Nothing to put here! Exceeded expectations

Cute place run by a family who were warm, welcoming and friendly. And super helpful. Very comfortable bed and good location. Highly recommended!

We had to wait longer for buses and trains in this part of town, but it didn't bother us much. I think it was worth less transit options for such a good vibe overall.

I'm so sad we only stayed here one night. The hosts were so nice and made everything feel easy while we were there. We just needed one more night in Kyoto and this place was so much better than the first place we spent most of our time. The room was small, but just what we needed. There was good tea and when we realized we had missed printing a ticket that required a hard copy they printed it for us quickly and made sure we had it right away. I loved the breakfast here. It was a nice mix of things and they let us sit in the larger room since no one was staying in it when we were there. We will for sure try to make it back to this location when we make it out to Japan again!

Excellent, kind, and helpful host. Emiko and her family had great English and the inn was very welcoming and comfortable. I was even driven to Kyoto station once my stay was complete which was a great help. Excellent value for money and a ideal location to see many nearby temples and shrines. Lots of nature sightseeing opportunities close by as well. I highly recommend a stay at Kyo-Anthu Inn!

Nothing I didn't like.

Location is great. The place was clean and big. We stayed at level 1 and the bath was awesome! And the host is simply amazing.She and her family really gone extra to make our stay memorable and nice.

I loved this place a lot. Not far from Kyoto Station and many attractions such as Fushimi Inari (like a 10-15 Minute walk.) The owner is really nice and makes you feel very comfortable. The breakfast was top notched. Next time I'm in Kyoto, I hope to stay here again.

One of the best I’ve stayed at! Everything was so well thought of . Staff is so so so nice (thank you for the ride to the station!) it is so central to the bus stop / station . If I’m ever here again I will stay here without a doubt . Thank you!!

the family running the inn are the sweetest! welcomed with tea, cookie, and helpful map of town. even offered to drive me to train station on last day, clean

I cannot think of any.

Location is walking distance to a station and a short bus ride to Kyoto station. The rooms are clean and bigger than Tokyo's. The ground floor room 1 comes with a big onsen type bath. Each of the 4 beds are big super single (I think). The host Emiko-san and her family are friendly and accommodative. She walked us to the station to show us the way on our first day. She and her dad offered to drop the 6 of us off at kyoto station after we check out. Me and my family will return if we ever come back to Kyoto.

Nothing AT ALL :)

I was so sad to leave this inn. Emiko (the host) is so on top of everything, so friendly, speaks perfect English. She helped us send our bags in advance to Tokyo, gave us amazing restaurant recommendations, and made us feel right at home. The room itself is incredibly comfortable and perfectly designed/optimized. We also loved the breakfast as an easy way to start our day before exploring the city. The location is in a cute neighborhood with easy subway and bus access. We loved the location. I would never stay anywhere else in Kyoto, can’t recommend enough. Thank you emiko and family!

There were many amazing things about Kyo-Anthu Inn! First off, the hosts were incredibly friendly and nice. They would welcome you warmly, and Emiko would make sure that any questions you had about Kyoto were answered. She also recommended really interesting and unique things to do that I didn’t previously know about, and ended spending a rlly wonderful evening thanks to her awesome recommendations! On the day of the check-out, she even offered to drive me to Kyoto Station to catch my train - that was such a wholesome gesture which I rlly appreciated! The car ride was nice as I got to know more about Kyoto through a resident’s lens :) Secondly, the room was incredibly spacious - much more than any of the hotels I’ve stayed in in Japan. The room itself was super cozy too, and the beds rlly comfortable (had an awesome night’s sleep)! Finally, it is extremely well-located, being about a 15min walk from Kyoto Station, and a 5min walk from the train station which would get you to just about all the main sites in Kyoto (a 5min train ride to Gion!). It’s also in a residential area, so it is super peaceful and serene :) I found out later that they only had 3 rooms in the hotel, so was extremely lucky to have managed to book one of the rooms! Thank you for your kindness and hospitality, Emiko and family! :-)

It was perfect !

Emiko and her family were so sweet and thoughtful. They made the place so warm, welcoming and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

The hosts were so kind, and had such great eye for detail. From the bathroom slippers that they gave to us to the help we received when booking a rental bike - they did everything and so much more! They even gave us a lift to the station, which was very appreciated. Arigatou gozaimasu!
