+We had a wonderful stay. Shin is very friendly and attentive host, we had several pleasant conversations. Our room and common areas were spotless clean, we very much enjoyed the design and atmosphere of the accommodation. Location is also very convenient - train station is across the street and bus stop is right in front of the building, convenience store and supermarket are just behind the corner and there are many restaurants in the area. The only downside is that it’s on a frequented road; however, earplugs are provided in case you would be bothered at night. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

“The perfect stay with a spacious room!”
+We loved how modern, clean, and spacious our room was. Check in was super easy and Shin was very accomodating. The kitchen space is great and has tea and coffee. The showers and bathrooms were clean at all times. There is a bus stop right outside and a train station across the street which made it super easy to reach everywhere.
−Nothing!

“We’ve been travelling for 5 months and this was probably the nicest place we have stayed at.”
+Amazing stay in Kyoto, at this very stylist accommodation. Shin himself greeted us when we arrived and gave us a very detailed breakdown of the area and with recommendations for what to do. The hotel in incredibly clean and well organised - you can tell how much care and attention Shin and his team take over it. Lots of kitchen equipment so we were able to cook for ourselves a few nights. The hotel is less than 5 mins walk from a train station, which easily connects you to the central Kyoto station.
−There is a road outside the hotel. Personally we didn’t find it to be an issue, but if you are a very light sleeper you may want to consider it and wear earplugs.

+Shin is amazing host!! He is so kind and professional at the same time. He offered any help and service to us, from laundry to helping us with some tips for the city! We would wish to have some more days and stay with Shin! We strongly recommend this place if you want to feel like home!!

“A very comfortable stay in a convenient location”
+A spotless and beautifully comfortable room in a very convenient location - not far from Kyoto’s main station or from the Gion area, making it very useful for seeing Kyoto’s many sights, which are very dispersed. And Shin, the owner, is extremely helpful - always available for any questions, and ensured my laundry was taken care of before I left, which I really appreciated. It was also calm and quiet - I slept so well there! And there’s a communal kitchen and living room area, which is very useful for late suppers or storing breakfast overnight.

“Shin is an incredibly welcoming host and went out of his way to make sure that my stay was special. Cannot recommend thi”
+Incredibly clean, and great appliances! If you’ve heard of it, they have Refa shower heads and blow dryers, and all faucets/toilets/doors are automatic.
−Be aware that the stairs are steep! But Shin helped me carry my luggage up and down for check in and out

“Amazing place to stay in Kyoto with a wonderful host!”
+It was wonderful modern, clean, quiet and spacious! Shin is an amazing host who outdoes himself making his guests comfortable, he did our washing for us which was so helpful and we’re all folded in our room at the end of the stay! He gave us a lovely postcard and matcha candy at the end which was very sweet, definitely stay here if in Kyoto, it’s easy to get around the city from here with bus stops outside the entrance and trains a few minute walk away.
