    Everything was great. Great kitchen if you need, washing machine and dryer in room, small hotel, great staff, super clean. Bed was a little hard for me but that's my only issue.

    The location is not far from Kyoto Station, and it's on a quiet street. It has basically everything you need, and the room is comfortable 😊 We enjoyed our 4 nights stay at the property!

    The room smelled seriously of Indian food when I moved in. It got better when we aired it for a few days.

    Great location and concept. Close to Kyoto station. My room had a kitchen, washing machine and everything you need for short/long stay. Price is very reasonable.

    It is not exactly that close to the station, though it is still a walking distance (It is not far, but not that close either). However, there is a bus stop no 205 very close to the end of the alley, so if you get tired, I guess you could take the bus from the train station.

    I love how complete the facilities are. You got a kitchen, toaster oven, microwave, fridge, even a washing machine. It is such a game changer. The size is pretty compact but since we came with backpacks, we have no issue with the room size. I love the fact that we could do our laundy conveniently. There are also some convenience stores nearby if you need to stock some foods. There's a vending machine just outside the building. I also love that the building is in the residence area, so it is pretty quiet.

    There would occasionally be a weird smell in the room. I was guessing it came from the sewerage system. Minor detail though.

    Best place I stayed in during my two weeks in Japan, absolutely loved it. Very quiet with a bed so comfortable it was hard getting up in the morning. Also found it very affordable (I only paid 75€ for three nights but think I got a last minute special offer due to the low season). Don’t hesitate to book this!

    It was one of the best budget hotels we lived in Japan. It was spacious, comfortable, convenient location close to the bus stop. It had a laundry machine in the room which was really great.

    The room was small for two people but that was outweighed by the great value.

    The staff were very very friendly. The location was great and lots of great food around. The value was also amazing and very clean.

    Great value for money, if I visit Kyoto again, I'd consider staying here or recommending to others.

    The bathroom tap is the same as the shower/bath tap so 2 people can't use both sinultaneously. The fridge sometimes sounds like there is a monkey inside. Running the air purifyer at night is good, but the lights from the top of the machine are very bright when trying to sleep at night. Walls seem thin, so can easily hear others in neighboring rooms and corridor.

    Location, can walk from Kyoto station. And value for money, has everything we need for a multi day stay. Quiet traditional style neighbourhood, yet close enough on foot to the metro area where you can shop like crazy at Yodobashi Camera. I liked staying on the 4th floor and balcony to allow some fresh air. I liked having the fridge, washing machine, folding dining table and Murphy bed to help make the place feel like a small home.

    I couldn’t give any negatives about this apartment. Everything was great!

    Amazing stay!! We were super happy with everything. This apartment for the price is great. Having the washing machine with washing detergent included was such a great benefit. Would 100% recommend and if we ever came back to Kyoto we would definitely stay again.

    The room was amazing I loved all the amenities despite being advertised as a hotel room it was basically a small apartment! The lady on the front desk was super friendly and helpful and the location was brilliant, only 10 minutes from the station. I would definitely recommend this property.

    Its price, facilities, location, quietness, and cleaness. Less than 10mins walk from Kyoto Station. There's everything you need in the room, a small kitchen with the frying pan, stove, utensils, pepper salt and oil, the best is there is a washing and drying machine. Overall, it's an excellent experience staying in this Inn.

    Guest need time to drop off luggage at the entrance during check-in, as well as loading luggage into a vehicle during check-out. Initially, there was a lack of understanding from hotel staff, after discussion the issue was resolved.

    Despite parking issue due to the property being located in a narrow street, the JP INN Kyoto Ekimae Izutsucho was clean, well maintained and featured all the items both solo and group travelers would need for a stay.

    The bathroom fan always has to be on which might be disruptive to some.

    This was our second time staying at this location. We dont mind the walk to the more popular areas which is 30 minutes if you have decent walking speed. Very cute quiet neighborhood. Close to Kyoto station and shopping area near the station. Check in and check out has always worked for us but it might not for others. The room is super clean and well appointed. The washer in our room was so helpful after traveling around for over a week. We also go the room with a small kitchen this time which was excellent for making things on a small stove and toasting things as opposed to just microwaving. Next time, we would stay here again!

    It was perfect! First the rate… GREAT PRICE for the … Location very near to the big train station and buses… (8 minutes walk)no way you’re going to get lost here. They will send you a txt after booking kind of weird, but don’t worry bottom line they respect times; cking IN/OUT on rhe times they said. They are PLENTY of lockers near them where you can store your suitcases 🧳. It is self service they have all supplies by reception, it was PERFECT for me bc I don’t like people in my room. They have good coffee and a kitchenette. The room hd enough space for me (solo trip) and the washer/dryer was a plus! It’s included! People in Kyoto like in all JN are polite enough to assist you if they can understand you (download a translation app recommended) however they aren’t very friendly, maybe because the language barrier.

    I was nervous about thin walls

    The room was spacious (better than a business hotel), there was a washing machine, there was a big refrigerator, and the bed could be folded into the wall to make space. It was quiet and calm, I slept well. It was in a nice Kyto style street area.

    The only negative comment I would give is the messages sent pre check in and the rules displayed seem extremely strict and harsh when in fact the person who checked us in was pleasant. We were worried before we arrived for no reason.

    Great location, close to station. (Approx 10 min walk). Extremely clean. LOTS of amenities. A really great set up. Room was a good size compared with others and it gave us everything that we could possibly ever need!
