    I booked partly for the balcony but the view is basically just looking into other people properties as the hotel is located in a narrow alleyway street, so did not make use of the balcony as I felt exposed but also intrusive to other properties.

    Hotel check-in was quick and informative. Chauffeured to our room and given a quick tour and explanation on how to use facilities. I booked this room for the washing machine and balcony. Nice and convenient having access to cleaning facilities in the room. Very spacious and clean rooms. Location was perfect just outside Nishiki Market and the busy shopping district.

    Location ,location , quiet little one way street . The owners and staff who all spoke English and who were the kindest, most helpful people. Rooms were exceptionally clean and everything was provided. The washing machine and drying was an added bonus. It was such a great base for exploring Kyoto . Surrounded by fabulous restaurants and a few doors from Nishiki market

    Nothing!

    Having travelled extensively one occasionally chances on a real gem. This is one. The rooms are small but if one travels sensibly there is more than enough space. Those who travel with large suitcases - well, that's your problem! The room had a washing machine which was great and then the bathroom has high tech drying facilities which means it all dries very quickly. The staff were fantastic and engaged with us. We asked for some restaurant recommendations, which resulted in some of our best meals ever - let alone in Japan. They could not do enough for us and were charming, with great English which always make it easier. The hotel is ideally located near a station but also near the main street and other convenient transport links.

    We absolutely loved this hotel! Hotel staff were VERY friendly and accommodating helping us ship our luggage to Osaka so we could visit the deers in Nara which ended up being so fun. The room was very clean and being walking distance to Nishiki Market was amazing! Only regret is that we didn't stay longer here! 10/10 recommend.

    Nothing. The room might too hot and dry in the winter however the hotel provides a humidifier.

    Stayed here for 7 nights in a Triple room as family. Although the room appears small, the room is so well designed that little ledges here and there creates usable space for your electronic devices etc. We liked the complimentary coffee machine for an early morning start. The location was excellent for walking around the touristy Nishiki Market and Teramachi etc and despite being in the middle of it all - the street was so quiet at night. The location was also good if you like walking to various attractions (Minamiza theatre 10mins, Nijo Castle 20mins) and it is about a 10 min walk to the Shijo Karasuma Station, which you need to get to JR Station, otherwise if are carrying luggage and you can take a taxi for 1600yen. You could also take the bus but we avoided it after hearing concerns of over-tourisms and of locals not being able to use their bus service.

    There wasn't anything to dislike. We'll be booking here anytime we're back in Kyoto.

    They were very accommodating and the facilities are very clean and updated. The unit included a washing machine and it allows for drying inside the tub area which was amazing. They even let us extend our stay a two additional nights as we loved it so much. The staff is super nice and the location has a beautiful history.

    The host family and staff were terrific - kind, informative, helpful and with a sense of humour. We'd come home from a day out with all sorts of questions about things we'd seen and they were happy to share thoughts and explanations. We learned about all sorts of things from language intricacies to local habits and customs. The rooms were a decent size for Japan and the top floor deluxe twin had a great patio for taking in the street below. While the hotel is located on a side street away from a main shopping thoroughfare, we heard nothing at night after 9-10 pm. and we were there four days. We split our time between the more sedate area of Higashiyama and this hotel's more lively Shijo Kawaramachi area. We slept well in both locations. We would stay again. Thank you, GOCO staff!
