The most important part to note of this stay is Kahori! She’s such a wonderful, knowledgeable and kind host who is happy to help with any needs or even just a chat, she made our stay in Kyoto even more special! In regard to the Inn itself, it is very clean with all the facilities you could need, and they were never crowded which was a bonus! The rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable, and the Inn is a short walk from Kyoto station which is a nice location to see the city from. Thank you for an amazing stay Kahori!

The place was extremely clean, comfy, easy to get to, close to everything and the host was the sweetest, most accommodating lady who went out of her way to meet your needs. Thanks for everything K 🙏🏽

It was a shame that the dryer was out of service, since although we could hang our washing on the cute roof terrace, the cold weather and since we only had one night meant that it didn't have time to dry. But hopefully the dryer will be repaired soon.

The host was so lovely and curious about her guests and willing to help wherever she could, and the kitchen area is great for the option of self-catering a bit. The location is also great and close to public transport options.

The lady at the front desk was very kind and welcoming. She was able to speak English well and had a friendly and funny demeanor. I could store the luggage at the accommodation and additional requests regarding luggage were accommodated. The house is spaceious (and clean) and gives off an authentic Japanese vibe, which was nice.

Very well located, few minutes from the Kyoto station and in a very peaceful neighbourhood. The staff was great and I loved the room. I’m sure I’ll come back!

Nothing

A fantastic stay in an authentic Kyoto house. The house is very nice, and the interior feels like an experience into how japanese houses look like from the inside. The owner is incredibly sweet and will do anything to make you feel like home. The location of the inn is walking distance from the train station, and placed very close to a pretty temple, as well as the amazing small streets of Kyoto.

The walls were quite thin so could know if someone was in the other rooms. but this is a japanese style home so it is expected.

The host was warm and could speak English well. the response from the host before arrival was quick and helpful. The place was a cultural & japanese style home with tatami floors, the place gave a cozy vibe. bathrooms were neat and clean. the kitchen could be used so the place was comfortable and enjoyable. The location was a 10mins walk from kyoto station which was a +.

I have a heavy suitcase so it’s a little bit hard to carry it through the stairs. A little bit wood smell in the room.

It’s traditional Japanese style building. Bathrooms are shared by all customers but it’s not crowded. It’s very clean and tidy and beautiful. Staff are really nice.

The host, Inada-san, was simply the best! Super attentive and welcoming!

Toilet is a bit far from rooms and down steep stairs which may be a problem for some.

Location was great and let me into my room early. Room cozy and warm on snowy days. Great kitchen facilities. Easy to get around town by bus and stop nearby. Kimono and toothbrush provided.

This guesthouse is wonderful. Cozy, relaxing, warm rooms; lovely, friendly people and great location. I was very comfortable here and it was hard to leave. If I ever come to Kyoto again, I'm definitely staying here.

It was centrally located, and the host was extremely friendly and helpful. There’s also a park nearby, which was absolutely beautiful in autumn. Would definitely recommend a visit there.

It was a little far from Kyoto Station even though it was still easy to find. Toilet and showering facilities are outside of the room and felt really cold during winter

It was a comfortable room with warm clean bedding. You could use the kitchen facilities. The owner was very nice too.

Everything was perfect, clean, comfortable, close to the train station

This place is a small inn that used to be the owner’s family home. My stay felt like I was invited into the home of a family member I had never met. The owner, Kaori-san, is a warm and welcoming lady. She greeted me with open arms and explained the guesthouse and its rules in detail. It’s an old Japanese house, so it’s very important for guests to be considerate of each other—keeping voices low and avoiding stomping when walking. I’ve stayed in many ryokan, but the futons were always thin (even in the most expensive ones). Here, however, the futons are thick and incredibly comfortable. The guesthouse has shared bathrooms and baths on the first floor, but they are very clean. The location is central, with many amazing cafes and wine bars nearby. Kyoto Station and other major stations are easily accessible on foot.

A cozy, clean and traditional Guesthouse in Kyoto, the owner is very kind and welcoming, she made us felt like at home and gave us some nice tips for places to visit. I definitely reccomend it, both for a couple and for a solo traveller!

A bit noisy so bring earplugs! Also my room and the toilets had small peekable cracks which I'm not a fan of.

Cozy place and very friendly host. Good location and price!

The host was incredibly friendly and her English was excellent. The ryokan itself was beautifully maintained. The spacious common area and well-equipped kitchen were impressive. The room was lovely and comfortable.

It was possible to wash clothes in a very cheap coin machine and there is a plaxw on the roof for drying vlothes Hostel's localization is wonderfull, 10 minutes walking from Kyoto station and just in front of one of the most interesting temples of Kyoto. I surelly recommend staying in Guest Inn Chita!
