Reviews of Guest House Ga-Jyun 1 stars

Great welcoming, cosy place and breakfast. Will come back !

The place is really nice! It has really great vibes, the breakfast is a great way to start the day with fruit. Thw dog is adorable and the staff are really nice and helpful

Unfortunatly, the beds are uncomfortable. The futon is thin and the pillows are too hard :(

The staff was amazing and made the place feel like home. Starting at check in you’re greeted by the lovely pup Jiro. Then throughout my stay, everyone was so helpful and friendly. As a solo traveler, I was sad to leave a place that made me feel like family. It feels like you’re staying in an authentic traditional Japanese home turned hostel.

There was no air conditioning in the communal space upstairs but bedrooms and main area downstairs were great. I had a top bunk and was the last to arrive in my dorm, so there was not much room to have any luggage in the bedroom with me. I kept my stuff in the locker in the communal area. It was fine for me to have luggage and another room, but not my favorite.

Breakfast is great. Hot water, drinking water and great coffee are available. Chairs, tables, TV, toilet, shower room and other facilities are comfy and useful. Staffs and owner are really helpful and welcoming.

Warm, peaceful, and perfectly located, I felt at home. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the Heian Shrine and with easy access to public transportation. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and to my surprise, they were huge fans of Brazil, which made me feel even more welcomed. Breakfast was a lovely touch: simple, fresh, and clearly prepared with care. The room and common areas were always clean, and the little garden added a peaceful charm to the stay. The cost-benefit is amazing, especially in Kyoto.

The only downside was that my room faced a busy street, so I could hear traffic noise during the night. Still, I was always so tired from exploring that I managed to sleep well anyway. I’d definitely stay here again!

very nice breakfast

The staff were incredibly welcoming and chatty, and the rooms were small but comfortable!

The surrounding area is beautiful and the hostel is right by the canal. The staff were friendly and had some restaurant recommendations as well. The complimentary breakfast at the hostel is also really good.

1) Breakfast was excellent which was prepared by the owner itself. Their miso soup was the highlight dish. The owner was so kind that he offered us breakfast on the day of our check-in as we arrived there early morning. 2) The guest house was very close to all major tourist spots, metro station and convenient stores. 3) The place had a very positive and homely vibe because their employee- Jiro, who was the sweetest dog we met.

Since it is an old wooden house, the ventilation and electric sockets were not proper.

Fantastic guest house. It gives you typical Japanese house vibes + good host. Amazing breakfast & the people who works there are really nice people.

The bed was very uncomfortable. And I feel, the rooms need more AC in Summer time. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Excellent breakfast, crew and bedroom

None

Great spot!! Super cleanly and spacious. Good communal area both down and upstairs. Lockers available. Lovely foresty backyard.

Friendly staff. Clean and tidy.

My bed was in a room facing the street, and it was a bit noisy.
