The room is more Japanese-style, but it has a strong smell. I had to open the window for an entire afternoon before the smell subsided. The quilt and other items are not of very good quality. Although there are no visible stains, it is still very worrying about hygiene issues. The stairs are very steep and you have to be careful. You must wear the slippers provided by the hotel to enter the bedroom, which may cause you to fall. The owner is very enthusiastic and willing to help. Toothpaste, toothbrushes and combs are not provided. The surrounding environment is very much like a rural town, compact and beautiful, and very clean and tidy. There is a supermarket diagonally opposite. The items are much cheaper than 711 and the variety is also complete. If you don't have to, I don't recommend staying here.

The reception lady was very warm and thoughtful. She personally took me into the room and taught me how to use some facilities. I booked the cheapest room with a public bathroom, but I was given a private bathroom, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was very large and divided into three areas: bathroom, lobby, and bedroom. I stayed there for two days, and it was not like other Japanese hotels that didn't clean. The bedding in the bedroom was very clean and I slept very comfortably. Their bath and shampoo sets were from the DHC brand. On the day of check-out, the lady bowed again to say goodbye. The Japanese service spirit was very useful to me as a foreigner.

I couldn't believe that such a reasonable hotel exists in such a crowded city of Kyoto. I recommend it.
And the owner is kind and always bows when we meet.

It is not a typical hotel/motel, but rather a guesthouse outside the city.
There are no facilities for simple cooking (induction, microwave oven) in the room, the lighting is not bright, and there is no desk, so you cannot do document work at night.
There is no bathroom in the room, so you have to use the public bathroom.
The bed is soft and suitable for a narrow-minded stay.
The owner may not have professional reception skills, but she is very kind and trustworthy.
If it is your first time traveling to Kyoto, transportation may feel difficult, but it is not bad if you can tolerate a little inconvenience.

The price is very affordable and suitable for budget travel. The sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases are all clean and smell-free. The only drawback is that it seems a bit far from the subway station, but it is very close to Dongshan, where there are many temples. The famous Nanzen Temple is also in Dongshan

The house is a bit run down but the landlady is really welcoming. I highly recommend it if you are going to a school nearby.

The landlady is very kind! Due to traffic problems, I arrived at the store at 11 o'clock. Logically, the store should be closed, but the landlady still received me warmly. I was very touched!

Es importante chequear los horarios de check in o comunicarse con las instalaciones directamente, ya que si se llega pasada la hora podría haber dificultad para acomodarse. Muy limpio y acogedor. A considerar si no les gusta los baños compartidos.
