“Lovely professionally run guesthouse near Kiyomizudera”

10.0

01 Jan 2025

This guesthouse is very professionally run and offers everything a traveller might need, at reasonable prices. Although set in a traditional Japanese house, everything looks modern and elegant in a simple way. My private room had generour shelving, space for luggage, and then a lovely tatami area with a little sofa, table and a futon. Everything was bright and very comfortable. The shared bathrooms were very clean. There is a little sitting area downstairs with coffee and tea, and in the mornings, a self serve (free) breakfast. As this is a relatively large guesthouse, it is usually staffed during the daytime. But the best thing was the bicycles for hire, directly from the guesthouse, at just 500 JPY per day, including a helmet! It is little advertised on their site, but I was delighted when I saw the bicycles and hired one right away, so I could start my sightseeing early and efficiently. They may not be fancy bikes, but my three-gear shopping bike was well-maintained and carried me many miles through Kyoto, much faster than the bus.

So comfortable and cosy, really lovely common area but very spacious room. Great breakfast and really helpful hosts. Convenient to all the sites of Kyoto while being just enough removed from the craziness to get a bit of peace and quiet. Great bike rental too!

Staff was super friendly and helpful and helped me with sending out my luggage to the next destination. The communal area is very nice and chill as i’d even gotten the opportunity to meet other solo travelers from around the world!
