Homestays in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

The location is excellent with close proximity to a lot of the tourist places and city bus stations. There is free coffee, a microwave and a laundry machine in the basement. The rooms are clean and the staff is very nice.

Very friendly and attentive staff, should have used their service to avoid unnecessary mistakes and potential tramps, everyone should know how frustrating Japanese transport system can be! Reasonable close to subway station, literally right next to Nijo Castle!

This hotel is very good location, near Omiya station (Hankyu line), Exit#5 has elevator 🛗 from platform to ground floor). If take Kyoto City bus, take bus number 206, 207 to Omiya matsubara station and walk just 150meters. This hotel is very clean, has all amenities, and facilities in the room (refrigerator and hair dryer). This hotel also have coin laundry machine and ice maker machine at 1st floor. I'm very happy with this hotel and its reasonable price, so I extend to stay here total 5 days.

The hotel is a 5-10 minutes walk away from Nijo station and a 20 minutes walk away from Nijo Castle. My room was small but clean and the staff was friendly. There is a kitchen in the lobby if you want to prepare your own food but there are plenty of restaurants at the station and the streets nearby.

In my personal experience of two meals in one hotel, the dinner was the richest. Although it was crab-themed, each person had a whole crab, other fish, and a lot of pot dishes. In the end, we couldn't finish it all, so the enthusiastic shopkeeper helped us take out the crab meat that we couldn't eat and shape it into 8 rice balls to serve as snacks for the next day. The hot springs are very good and the pool area is large. Both men's and women's hot springs have indoor and outdoor parts. It happens to be snowing in January, and there is nothing more wonderful in the world than soaking in the hot springs while enjoying the cold wind of Wakasa Bay. Most of the tourists are locals, so it's a very authentic experience. Thank you to the store

This place was so great. In a small space, there are two bunk beds that can accommodate a family of four very comfortably!! There is also a large sofa bed and table. All the elements were perfect for our family. The location was also good, so we could enjoy Kyoto's major tourist attractions on foot. There is no parking lot, but there are many paid parking lots around. If you look around a little, you can find a relatively cheap parking lot. Considering the price of the hotel, the parking fee is not bad. From Sunday to Tuesday, 2 nights and 3 days - 4,600 yen. (We kept the car parked because there was no change of mind.) I was surprised that there was a Korean staff member at check-in, and the check-in process was also easy. There is even a sofa bed, so I highly recommend it for a family trip of 4-5 people.

The house is consistent with the pictures on the website, very quiet and comfortable. Although it is decorated and run by Chinese people, it still has a strong Japanese-style lifestyle. My travel plan is to travel slowly in Japan, staying in one place for a few days, half a day to play and half a day to rest, and going to the big supermarket to buy food by myself. It is both a tour and an in-depth experience of local life. This kind of house is very suitable. The current operator is Chinese, so it is easy to contact and communicate, especially for those who are traveling independently in Japan for the first time. If you don’t understand something, you can always communicate with the owner. The house is very close to the Shichijo subway. When I went there, I got off at Kyoto Station and walked a long way. On the way back, I got on the Shichijo subway and transferred to Osaka. It was very convenient.

We have stayed in the Gion area before, so we wanted to try a different area. This is very near the Kyoto station, just take bus 9 or 50. From the stop, the guest house is a few steps away. Agree with the other review, this room is big for 3 vs. Japanese standard. They provide the basic amenities, and having a common kitchen is a plus. There are grocery stores at the bus stop. On our first night, we were asked to stay in a different room, and we had to transfer to the one that we booked the next day. Bringing down and leaving our luggage at the reception was a bit of an invonvenience, but overall, we had a pleasant stay, and we'd recommend this place to friends.

It is a cost-effective hotel in Kyoto during the peak season. It has complete indoor facilities, large space, and the front desk staff is enthusiastic and multilingual. I was very satisfied after staying for a few days. Although there is a certain walking distance from the subway station/convenience store, there is a bus stop right outside the door. The location is convenient for a city like Kyoto where buses go directly to tourist attractions, and it is close to the Kawaramachi business district. The only drawback is that the glass is not very soundproof (probably a common problem in Japanese accommodation). If you live on the second floor, there will be a lot of noise when people drive by at night. Overall, highly recommended!

The best part: The room type given by Ctrip is the largest, with 44 square meters, which is the largest hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan. Other than that, everything is not good. 1️⃣ The check-in time is ridiculous. Check-in at 16:00 and check-out at 10:00. What is the difference with the hourly room... It's my fault that I didn't pay attention to the time before. If I knew it was like this, I wouldn't stay in this hotel. 2️⃣ No cleaning. Only free cleaning is available if you stay for 4 nights or more. And the hygiene is super bad! On the first day of our stay, there was a piece of paper in the toilet. In the morning, a sign of [Change towels/collect garbage] was hung, but the garbage was not collected when I came back in the evening. 3️⃣ There is only one washing machine downstairs, and it is impossible to get a line. The washing machine near the hotel costs 3 times as much as the hotel for the same time.
