A few spiders and no towels which would’ve been useful for people travelling light!

Easy access without human interaction😁the property was small but clean and had all the essentials for a traveller including fridge, kitchen, microwave, shower and toilet. Shampoo & conditioner were provided which was a nice touch. Rooms were small but were air conditioned and clean bedding was provided. Curtains kept the room dark and each bed had their own bedside light so as to not disturb other guests.

It was really cold! I tried to get the heater on and in the living room it worked but not in the bedroom. There were enough blankets so it was fine laying in bed but as soon as I got up it was feezing…

I had the whole room for myself, but they said there would be another person. Which really confused me and it felt like I was waiting for someone to show up. But the room and kitchen and stuff were very clean and nice.

The curtains for the bed I had didn't close very well and it didn't seem like it was possible to turn off the main light.

Good for the price and good location.

We suggest that it is much more better if you have television for entertainment of the guest.

had a bit of a challenge checking in since the owner won’t meet with you. we need to call first and talk with our minimal japanese before we can understand the process of getting inside. also adding the fact that the unit is in the third floor and we just came from cycling biwako. It might help if they can provide a step by step process beforehand since it is technically a self-checkin type of a property.

very spacious since there are only 2 of us. could fit 6-10 more pax. The tatami bedroom is quite comfortable for us. there’s also an izakaya place in the first floor of the building with other nearby restaurants and konbinis.

I loved this place. It was so clean and quiet and the manager couldn't have been more helpful . A real pleasure to work with . Transport links into Kyoto were pretty good too with 20-30 trains every few minutes. Kitchen well stocked , washing machine and even provided a free parking space for my scooter. And best of all a lovely , comfy bed .

A lot. 1. We booked a family room solely for our use (as advertised). Around when we arrived we were messaged that there's a change & we'd now have single rooms - we still thought were solely for us, incl bathroom. The apartment was part storeroom with stuff everywhere, rather than "family room" but we just thought that's how it was. The "bedrooms" were separated by partitions. 2. We went for a walk & took the door key with us. When we returned there's another family in our room & our belongings had been stacked in the living room. They were let in by host/owner who decided to put us into a shared dormitory, toilet, bathroom without letting us know or offering discount. 3. The other family were also confused & kindly phoned the host who came to explain the situation, including that we're now expected to share the space. 4. We explained we'd be moving out the next night as the room was unacceptable. The host offered partial discount after we complained (no other room available). 20min later host returned & advised we could move to another room. On inspection the 2nd room was more like what we thought we'd originally booked - we accepted partial refund & moved into this second room. 5. Host stopped replying to messages on last day. 6. The Advert photos & info don't represent the actual property. These things were advertised, but not provided: - The room is different to photos. - No smoke alarm (It's a break the glass & push button fire alarm on the stairs.) - No key card access, it's a key box. - No Thermometer (we didn't want one, but don't advertise if it's not there) - The "lockers" in shared room require you to provide your own lock. - No daily housekeeping & only some rooms have a washing machine. - The host speaks barely any English.

The town was nice. Waterfront is pretty with water fountains at times with colours at night. Nearby places to walk in park, etc. The second room we were moved to was more like what was advertised.

Walking distance from the train Is about 15 minutes

Clean not expensive and close to the lake

Stayed in October 2024

Smelly, allergy triggering because of the carpet and uncleaned bed set. The shower burns when water suddenly gets weak and then after it comes back to normal, it comes really hot that it burns. It’s really stinky specially in the bathroom.

Spacious for group. Location is not so bad.

Very kind owner. Near keihan railway station.

it was ok for one night. it'd been fine for a couple more nights too. it's self check in and there are instructions on how to open the door but I felt that maybe an initial explanation was needed like where the remote for the ac, the password for the wifi, etc. The host came later though and left quickly. it was generally clean.

No social aspect

Nothing

Stayed in March 2024

No one to welcome us and explain us the rules of the accomodation. We booked one dormitory for male and one for female but we had only one room without any explanations The place was quite dirty with a lot of dust

The location was convenient as it was not far from the station leading to kyoto

The after-hours code supplied didn't work.The contact phone only had Japenese and couldn't help. Better instructions about after hour access would improve rating.

Meeting people at the dorm.

Pretty meh kinda place, so, didn't like anything in particular. That being said, it's not that the place is bad, there's just nothing decent/notable about this accommodation compared to the many other places I've stayed at in Japan.

There was some confusion regarding check in. But the owner apologised by bringing all the guests food!

Clean comfortable stay

Stayed in March 2023

The common room is really small, and I don't understand how it is possible to sell it for up to six people. In some beds, you can't isolate yourself from the light of the room (that is to say, there is a light just over your bed...). The beds aren't comfortable at all, they are just a piece of wood with the cheapest futon possible (5cm high at most). So don't expect a comfy bed! The restaurant below the men dormitory makes noise until midnight. It's a problem for people with sleeping trouble.

Fortunately, I was alone in the guest house so I haven't to deal with other people. For my purpose, the location was good. The showers are nice, but they don't provide towels (so be aware of this).

Walking up to the fourth floor. I had a bike too so that made more difficult with the narrow staircase. But I stay again, it wasn’t too difficult.

The location was convenient and easy to find.
