Only floor seating, it would be nice to have at least one chair for an older person. Hard to always get up from the floor.

It was a great location to explore Kyoto, very clean, feels newly remodeled

There was nothing not to like.

Excellent facilities and location. Beautiful little traditional townhouse. All modern amenities and decor.

Stayed in November 2023

Soundproofing wasn’t good. The kitchen counter was small.

Beds were comfortable. Location is close to bus station and Hokan-ji.

The toiletries and coffee capsules were very limited. We stayed for 3 days but the staff gave us just one day portion. We have to check in at another hotel before moving to the accommodation.

The accommodation was really nice and comfortable.

The house is new, comfortable, and well located, although with the instructions we received it took us a long time to find it.

What can I say, what a beautiful machiya style townhouse, perfect for a family of 5. Incredibly close to many sites, just on your doorstep really. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again. Thank you!

It is a beautiful place where you can feel and experience Japanese traditional living. Very comfortable, smart and wonderful accommodation. We stayed there a week and it was just the perfect place to explore Kyoto as its location is superb. We stayed with a small child and it was a really choice for that. The bathroom is also comfy with a bath tub and view to the small garden that the house has. It was not noisy at all. Wifi worked well. It also has a fridge, a washing machine and a stove which is practical when traveling with a baby.

The apartment is small but functional. Super clean! Prime location, within waking distance to many attractions. Two bathrooms is a plus! AC worked very well on the 4 hot days while we were there. My kids enjoyed sleeping in the tatami room upstairs and didn’t want to leave lol

It would be great if additional hooks for towels could be installed in the bathroom and in the entrance area in order to hang rain coats & jackets.

Amazingly renovated property in the heart of the old town. Very comfortable, within easy reach of everything. Bus stop around the corner as well as several family marts & 7/11s.

No curtain in the bedrooms so we were woken up by the morning light. It is not an issue if you start the day early but bothered us a lot. Also the bedroom facing steer is much nosier. You can easily hear cars passing by from the main street.

The location is perfect! It is 3 mins away from Hokan-ji temple and 100 meters to bus station, grocery and restaurants. It is a bit far away from train station. But it is great to walk thru Hanamikoji Street after dinner and enjoy the other side of Kyoto. The house is very clean and cozy. It has everything we expect.

Picking up the key was easy and Rinn hotel staff was super helpful. They provided transportation from pickup to unit so very convenient.

Nothing. Loved everything about it.

The house is traditional style, adorable and spotless clean. Fresh clean bedding. Kitchen and bathrooms are well-appointed. The location is excellent in Gion, close to the ancient sites and sights, also close to restaurants and a convenience store. A nice walk to Shirakawa Lane and abundant restaurants. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful when we needed assistance.

We did run into some ants problems inside the apartment. It was almost check out time for us so we didn’t do anything about it but we did inform the reception about it. Hope it won’t happen to anyone else!

Love the location. Easy key pick up from the reception. And they even had a taxi taking us from the reception place to the actual apartment. The place was nice and clean and looked exactly like the pictures!

Stayed in May 2023

Walking over to another location to pick up the keys. It didn't help there was a typhoon hitting Kyoto the day we arrived and had to walk several blocks to get check in.

Location was great. Property was newly renovated.

Stayed in June 2023

The check-in is not the same as the location. It was a short walk from the train station but with baggage and a 1.5 year old it was just a bit more difficult.

Friendly staff who let us store our bags until check-in and were quick to set us up with a taxi that was provided at no cost. Having a taxi take us directly to the home was nice.

Nothing

The location was perfect! 1 minute walk from bus stop, 2 mins walk from the famous pagoda, 10 mins walk to Kiyomizu Temple, lovely family run Yakitori restaurant opposite bus stop, 711 nearby, and really big Fresco supermarket just 5 minutes walk away. Everything is within reach. Especially in early mornings, visit the temple before anybody else, the view was amazing! You do need to get to the Kyoto station branch reception to pick up the key and check in, but only very cheap taxi ride, about 1000 yen, and then you will get a free taxi to the property. All reception staffs are so friendly and helpful. Thanks very much for lovely travel size toiletries too. The guest house itself was almost brand new. It’s exceptionally cleaned and organised with all spaces well maintained. Bedrooms are very cozy and comfortable, the traditional tatami room was nicely decorated. Upstairs toilet was very practical for upstairs bedrooms. Japanese style wet room/ bathroom was very easy to use. Washing machine and tumble dryer 2 in 1 was very handy for families, and it’s remarkably efficient and quite. Located in central location but very peaceful and quite at night. Everyone in the family has enjoyed the stay, and we all loved the place. Will definitely stay here again when we come to Kyoto next time. Thanks very much for everything!

the only thing is it’s difficult to get a taxi by calling the front desk because of the language barrier.

I love the location, it’s located in a quite neighborhood and very close to Kiyomizu temple.

Nothing - it was fabulous!

The location was fabulous, right in the historic heart of Kyoto, and the property itself was brilliant - comfortable, clean and stylish. I would stay there again and again, and have already recommended it to friends.

While the kitchen has all of the amenities, I wouldn't want to cook in it as it's a bit small and lacks countertop space. We aren't there to cook though, so it worked very well for us! My only other nitpick is there aren't enough towel hooks or places to hang the robe they provide.

The location was perfect and the property has been absolutely wonderfully renovated. It's gorgeous, definitely the most beautiful place I've stayed. So many nice touches throughout and truly a perfect place to stay a couple nights at in the heart of Kyoto. Next door is the most wonderful and friendly kimono rental business, which I highly recommend. A short hike up the mountain leads to Yasaka Shrine and Shogunzuka, which has incredible views of Kyoto and is well worth the trek. Also within walking is Kiyomizu-Dera Shrine, which has lush trees and garden spaces, ponds, temples, and intriguing architecture.

- ...but not very close to metro/train - price for weekend was noticable higer than during the week.

+ great location, in the middle of old Gion district, 1min walk from famous Yasaka pagoda, 10-30 min walk from many famous temples and atractions. Also walking distance from nishiki market. + object itself is amazing, freshly renovated japanese style home that lets you experience japanese style of living, traditional japanese entrance, tatami rooms, sliding doors, beautiful woodwork. It was extraordinary. + easy check-in in hoteal very close to railway station + object is well equipped in everything you need during stay + super quiet neighbourhood + super close to big grocery store + very close to bus stop...

Great location, easy walk to many of the amazing streets and shrines of Kyoto

I would recommend this place for anyone who wishes to stay at a quiet place which is also close to many tourist attractions. The house is big enough for 2-4 people with a lot of facilities. A drawback is that we had to collect keys from a different place but the hosts arrange a taxi from the key collection area to the place of stay. To those who arrive to Kyoto via the Kyoto station, it only costs 500 Yen to travel from the train station to the reception from where you can collect the key. Close to the place where we stayed, we found a nice Nepalese restaurant and a 7/11 shop, so no issue for food. And a bus stop is just a min walk, so easy to travel around as well.
