The room and shared eating and kitchen space was so clean and comfortable. The futon beds were very comfortable. The free breakfast was so lovely. Sim, Sigh, and all the staff were so helpful and gave great information, advice, and rang ahead to places for extra information for us. We were just a 20 minute walk from the main areas of kyoto, but the area around the guesthouse was lovely and quiet. If we ever have the chance to come to Japan again, we will definitely stay here again. We stayed in other nice hotels on our travels, but this guesthouse was by far our favourite stay! Thank you Sim and everyone!

Great place to stay! Excellent location, lovely rooms and very helpful staff. The staff were very friendly and helped where we needed. The futons were great. Bathrooms were excellent and the laundry facilities very helpful. Terrific place to stay in Kyoto. Very close to convenience stores, restaurants, shops and transport.

Big bed, the biggest bed we had in our Japan stays. The bathroom was also very spacious. The apartment was clean and the area very quiet.

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!

Very spacious and comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing! The kitchen is well-equipped for our family of four, to prepare and have our own dinner with the ingredients we bought nearby. We loved it :)

My room was clean and warm, and the space was cozy for an overnight stay. Very quiet.There’s also a bus stop nearby, and the hotel is located in a picturesque area, close to many temples and the Philosopher's Path. What impressed me the most was their garden, which is in a different building about a 10-minute walk away—it’s incredible! However, I spent a long time looking for the location at first, so I recommend checking it on Google Maps right away. Thank you!

The hosts were such kind and helpful people! They served a delicious breakfast each morning after asking what time would be best. The traditional room was very comfortable and they provided Japanese pyjamas.
