Because of it being old I can definitely heat the next door neighbors very well which can make it feel I don’t have much privacy. But thats what comes with an old house so can’t say there’s much that can be done for that. Also I feel the futon is a little bit thin - would be nice to have an extra layer if possible.

Loved the bed and breakfast and staff were great. Loved how they renovated the place! Already recommended the place to a friend and will keep doing so!

Chie was so nice and helpful. I had issuses with my train and she helped me over the phone. The house is lovley and so cute and traditional. I had a room aginst the street and you could here the traffic from cars during the night and the futon madrass was very thin.

We needed a day or two to accommodate in the tiny room and to the colder weather - but that‘s more the western comfort that we are taking for granted already.

Nice tatami rooms with beds much more comfortable than you‘d think at first. Heating/AC available in all rooms. Very nice owners (+young expats running the service) who organize small events and take great care of every need from breakfast to washing clothes.

I was missing something like a comfy sofa to sit on and read. There was a kotatsu, though.

Really nice house and location, Chie gave great advice on where to go, good coffee, free yoga classes for early birds.

Quite a thin mattress on the bunk

Beautiful old house with a thoughtfully designed interior. The shared spaces are comfortable, welcoming and very clean. I had the twin bunk room which was very sweet and a nice size for 2 people. A 5 minute walk to the station.

It's a proper centennial Japanese house so noise insulation is limited, it is not uncommon to hear other guests walking/talking/living in the house. Futons could be a bit thicker

Nice authentic wooden house, nicely designed and cosy. The room was spacious for two people, worth booking if you have lots of luggage and want some space. Kitchen is great, modern appliances and well furnished if you're looking to cook and take a break from going to restaurants. Staff was super nice and helpful. Close from the Kyoto station (2 stations away) and central enough to be 30-40mins away from everything in Kyoto, ideal for 4-5 days stay

I had an beautiful time at B&B Hachi. The guesthouse is a traditional japanese house and therefore very beautiful with tatami areas for the guests and wooden strcutures. The breakfast was very tasty (they had japanese and western one) and the staff nice and helpful! In the morning I attended a meditation class which was offered by the guesthouse, which I found very nice to start the morning peacefuly before heading out to see many temples and shrines. The guesthouse is also in a very sweet area with an onsen close which the staff recommended to me. All in all I recomend Hachi to everyone who wants a relaxing and beautiful experinece in Kyoto.Thank you so much and see you at my next visit to Kyoto again :)

Our stay at B&B Hachi has been a highlight of our trip! From amazing communication before we arrived and continued through out stay. The owner and people working their are super welcoming and friendly. The room was beautiful! Breakfast was simple yet the perfect amount to fill you up to start the day going out to explore. Great touch having a "western and a Japanese style " depending on the day. They all had great suggestions of what to do and or see in the area ( the QR code was a great touch as well) While we were there we got to join a tea ceremony. They have an activities calendar for the inn so if you love meditation/ yoga this happens daily and then some extra things during the week/end. Some really good restaurants and bars within 10min walk , the park nearby has markets on the weekends (again about 10min walk). Sento bath house was also a highlight being so close by! Cleaning was done daily and everything stayed neat and tidy. The kitchen area was nice to be able to sit up there in the evening playing some games or read a book while having a snack as they have a fridge that guests can use as well. Would definitely recommend to stay here even if just for a couple nights!

B&B Hachi is a very clean, comfortable and beautiful place. The facilities (toilet, shower, towels, room, bed, kitchen etc) are a 10/10! they’re clean and spacious. i really liked the calm, natural and spiritual atmosphere. the breakfast was also really good! i appreciated the fact that it was healthy and generous (fruit, yoghurt, egg, bread with butter and jam, coffee/tea). if i could i would have spent every night of my trip there! i felt secure and as if i were in my own house. really recommend it!!
