Nothing, really.

The staff is the highlight! All of them were super helpful guiding us around their city,making us feel that we experienced the city like a local would. All the facilities and the cleaning were Great. Also it was a quiet room.

We are a family of 5, occupying 2 rooms. The washing machine and the dryer in the shower/bath room were such life saver. The staff spoke very good English and they were very realiable. They helped us booked our taxis on the first day and made sure they saw us off on the 3rd day early in the morning. They introduced us the places to go to for yummy local food. The rooms are clean and tidy, I really could not fault anything.

Not all rooms have attached private balconies. There is a shared rooftop space that guests have access to.

The staff at this hotel were welcoming and helpful. I particularly appreciated how a staff member showed up to our room and explained how to do laundry. When traveling in a different country, this attention to detail made our stay that much easier. We also loved the water pressure in the shower and felt squeaky clean! The hotel's location is perfect for a first-time visitor to Kyoto as you are very centrally located. I highly recommend this hotel.

The owners, a wife and husband team, and ALL the staff were very welcoming.and friendly. I stayed for a total of 6 nights. Every morning the owner ( who has previously worked in Australia in the travel industry) gave me good tourist advice and helped me with transportation info etc. When I returned every evening the staff welcomed me and asked how my day went. I felt like I was returning to family. The location is excellent. You can easily walk to Gion area and major tourist sites. I had a fantastic and enriching week in Kyoto thanks in part to the wonderful owners and staff at Hotel GOCO.

The carpet smelled a little? But it didn't bother us too much. Overall, it was still great.

The owner was super helpful and warm. The room was wonderfully equipped with many amenities despite its size. Excellent location.

Nothing to be disliked

I like everything about the hotel and the personnel

The nearest train station was about 12-13 minutes away. Which doesn't seem that bad, but if you're planning on traveling outside of the prefecture, the time wasted starts adding up where you're spending close to 25-30 minutes for a round trip to the hotel. We had trouble deciding if we should go back to the hotel to rest during midday or continue to torture our feet by going to the next scheduled event. I should also mention that after a long 12 hour day, a 13 minute walk feels like a lifetime.

There are too many good qualities of staying at Hotel Goco. For me personally, the best quality...was the staff. This place feels like a small boutique hotel, but with the quality of a 5 star commercial hotel. Staff was tremendously welcoming and friendly. We were personally escorted to the room and shown how to use the amenities in the room. The room itself was quite spacious for two people. The room included a washing machine and we did do laundry during our stay. It was extremely fast and easy to use. The one downside is that you had to hang your clothes in the bathroom, above the shower area. If you're planning on doing a lot of a laundry, prepare enough time early to do your laundry. The surrounding area is amazing. Nishiki Market was about 3-4 minutes away going west. Gion district was about 10-15 minutes away going east. There are also surrounding shops, restaurants, gachapon, and arcades, and pachinko nearby. Don quijote is also close by for shopping.

A wonderful experience: it might seem that the location of this hotel is its winning element, but actually the incredible team is what made our stay here so outstanding! Mayumi was so caring with us, recommending the best spots in the city, going above and beyond to research what would best suit what we were looking for, we cannot thank her and her team enough! Everything else is also great: location, room, amenities, cleaning - we were so well taken care of!

Was really pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, larger than our other stays in Japan. Comfy and larger bed as well! Clothes drying setup was not familiar to us as Americans, but after we got used to it it works much better than the combo washer-dryers at keeping your clothes less wrinkled. The staff were very nice and informative about places to sight see in the area.

The owners and everyone else working there are incredibly nice. They gave us very nice recomentafions and were always ready to help!The room was very nice and big. The location is perfect, very central but still quiet. I loved everything about it and would return any time!

Nothing at all!

We booked 3 rooms for 6 adults and over the course of our 9 night Japan trip, Hotel GOCO Stay Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi was our favorite property! This small, boutique style property seamlessly bridges an apartment style rental with a hotel. Granted, the rooms on the smaller size but it provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. There is a mini kitchen, washing machine and a private rooftop to gather. The property is owned and run by a kind husband and wife couple who work extraordinarily hard to care for their guests. The rest of their staff are terrific too and always welcome you home with a smile, kind words and everyone is so helpful and they all speak English. The icing on the cake is that the location just can’t be beat. The property is located on a quiet street between Shijo-dori and the famous Nishiki Ichiba. It’s a short 30-60 second walk, left or right when exiting the hotel, to hit either location. Like they say, good things come in small packages! Mahalo nui from your Hawaiian friends…we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Very centrally located at kawaramachi district, and just next to Nishiki market. The smallest room is very big by Kyoto standard.

Had the most wonderful stay here. The staff were more than accommodating and super helpful and polite. Location was great - close to the subway and local train stations, right by the main shopping street and Nishiki market, yet it was super quiet in the actual hotel itself. Would definitely come back the next time we're in Kyoto.

We stayed for a week and it was perfect. So close to everything we wanted to do in Kyoto. Rooms were very new and clean. Washer and dryer (dryer room) was great to have, as was the refrigerator and microwave. The family that ran it were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

The room was larger than others we stayed at. It was also very clean and well organised. There was a washing machine and drying feature in bathroom. The hotel is very close to Nishiki market, convenient stores and public transport. The hotel is in a quiet area.

This small hotel is a gem: Its location near the traditional markets as well as moderm streets and shops is excellent. Its staff - the lovely owners / managers and other personel -exceptionally helpful and effective with good English. iIs design and decor is modern, new, and beautiful. The room is large enough, convenient, very clean and well maintened. All together its value for money is the best we found in Japan.

This is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable hotels I've ever stayed in. I would certainly return if I visit Kyoto again in the future. I highly recommend it! The hotel met all my needs and exceeded my expectations. The service was exceptional, welcoming, and warm. Plus, its central location is convenient to everywhere.

I didn't like that I didn't stay here for a longer amount of time.

The staff was very helpful and kind. Greeted us every time we got to the hotel and when we would leave. When we had questions they would do their best to help answer questions or give recommendations. The room was clean and had so many amenities. The location was perfect, close to a busy market, perfect for shopping.
