Great location and very easy to find with staff who met me on site to get me checked in and introduce the property. Clean and surprisingly quiet given it's location right next to a restaurant/bar. The staff warned me that the room was small but it really was pretty much in line with what to expect from a tatami room.
It was a little awkward having the main entrance be essentially in the kitchen for the property so there were times when arriving or departing that it felt like you were walking through someone else's private kitchen.

Great space, very clean, nice futon, soft sheets, great heating and everything you need to feel at home. We had a room with a private bathroom, and it was perfect. Small but it even fitted a bathtub. The kitchen has a fridge, a microwave and a small electric oven. Sadly, the kitchen burners were not working, but we didn't really want to cook anyway. The hostess was lovely 🩵

The room was very clean, and so was the bathroom. The host offered us towels and toiletries.
The room itself was crowded for 3 people. Even though the host offered us to use the hall too, it still was difficult for 3 people to get ready and actually move around the room.

The location was perfect, very central and close to the main sightseeing places of Kyoto (around 15 minutes waking). The hostess was very nice and helpful and the room was clean.
It is a very small room, where both my feet and head were touching the wall when laying down so if you have more than 1.8 m I would suggest a bigger room.

I paid $100AUD for a mattress on a floor with 1 pillow for each guest. Clean room and it gave my daughter and me a real taste of Japanese frugal living. It was the cheapest room I could find in Kyoto at the last minute.
I got charged an extra $30 AUD for my daughter staying with me.

It was small but cheap and very conveniently located. If you just need somewhere to sleep it was ideal.
My room had no natural light. But this didn’t really matter to me. For what I payed and what I needed, which isn’t a lot, it was good for my brief stay in Kyoto.

The location was close to Kyoto station, and close to the river where you can walk to many places easily. I liked that there was a 7/11 opposite!
It was slightly noisy at night with the traffic.

the location was nice and near the station and bus stop. The room is also pretty good but I am not sure about foreigners because the bed is Japanese-style and uses futons.
I don't like the staff.
