The room is larger than it looks on the photo. Our family of 4 has a lot of space to move about and even a living room /dining area. The location is walkable distance from Kyoto Station but do prepare a walk for a bit, but it's also quiet, good for resting after a day of touring /shopping.

Room for 4 person but too small for 4 person. No place to put luggage. Share bathroom. Other was acceptable. Please check the policy before book. Rules are rules and there is no flexibility. The best part is the weather is cold in Japan, but the nights in Kyoto are boring. If you want to enjoy the nightlife, not recommended to stay in Kyoto.

Vid check-in var ytterdörren låst och vi fick vänta en timme. Till slut bankade vi hårt på dörren och då vaknade någon innanför och släppte in oss. Ofräscht med massor av hårstrån i sängen och trasig toalettdörr. Absolut inte värt pengarna.

店主人很好，是台湾人，不过他说他不是老板。两人间的房间比想象中大。虽然是公共浴室和卫生间，但是却没有降低卫生标准。非常舒适
