"I stayed for 4 days and experienced two types of rooms. I was very satisfied with the overall feeling. 1. Hygiene: Every corner is very clean, towels, cups, washing and drying machines, and the bottom of the bed are all clean and dry. 2. Convenient transportation, it is only a 5-minute walk from Karasuma Oike subway station. 3. Environment: It is located in the middle area of ​​Kyoto, and it is convenient to go anywhere. Advantages: It is located in the residential area, there are several restaurants in Fanxing, and it is quiet and orderly. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the downtown area. 4. The room is very design-oriented and practical. The heating and hot water supply are sufficient, and the position of the air outlet is reasonable. 5. The design of the hotel is very special, with 2 rooms on each floor, all of which are one-bedroom and one-living room suites. There is a tea room on the first floor, which is suitable for daze, tea tasting, and watching people coming and going in front of the courtyard. 6. Service: Several front desk staff on duty are pretty good, patient, and can communicate with simple English conversations and translation software. There is a washing and drying machine in the room, which is very convenient for washing. If you need irons, pillows, etc., just contact the front desk directly. The hot water switch was at the bathroom door and I couldn't find it at first, so the front desk came to fix it right away."

"This place felt much better than other places I've stayed. The staff at the first-floor front desk spoke English and Japanese well (and even some simple Korean). They also provided great services like welcome drinks and morning coffee. And the biggest advantage of this place was that (it's only a 5-minute walk from the station, but it's also in a quiet area, which makes it incredibly quiet.) It was great to be able to relax in peace with my parents. To briefly summarize the pros and cons of this place: 1. The place is close to Kyoto Station. 2. It's on the quiet side, so it's quiet. 3. The staff at the front desk and everyone who helped with housekeeping were very friendly. 4. You can rent an air fryer, hand-drip coffee, and other items at the front desk. 5. There's a reservation system at the front desk, so you can make reservations at restaurants you've been looking for. 6. The place was clean and spacious, which was nice. If I had to point out any cons, they would be: 1. It's a bit far from the center, Kiyomizu-dera Temple (about a 30-minute walk to Shijo). 2. The air purifier (I think) had a slight smell (it smelled like meat, so I left it on and when I came back, the smell of meat lingered in the room). 3. The bathroom felt a bit dark. 4. It's too spacious for a solo stay. That's about it. Overall, it has so many positives that it would be great for couples, families, or friends."

Very elegant historical hotel with rooms more like houses than just a hotel room. A hidden gem in Kyoto which can be classified as a national treasure. Service quality both in room dining and outside restaurants of extremely high standards. The historic Japanese zen gardens also very well maintained and kept. The entire hotel staff and managers very nice and professional as well. 6 star quality service as a whole.

This is the most impressive hotel I've ever stayed at during my trip to Japan. The reception staff were very helpful and check-in was very easy. The room was very spacious and clean. It's easy to get to from the main station, Kyoto sta., just a short walk away. I really liked it. I'll definitely stay there again next time.

Better than expected!!! Very spacious First of all, the transportation is very convenient, just one minute walk from Gojo Station, the public areas are beautifully landscaped, our room just happened to see Kyoto Tower and Higashi Honganji Temple downstairs (worth a visit, very large and exquisite), Nishi Honganji Temple is a world heritage site but has not been redecorated, not as beautiful as Higashi Honganji Temple. The only thing is that the water temperature is not particularly stable, but it is not too cold. I guess it is due to the age of the hotel. The air conditioner is a bit noisy at night. We turned off the air conditioner to sleep, but it did not affect the room temperature, it was still very warm

Highly recommended! A family experience that is very satisfying. I am very grateful to my friend for recommending this Kyoto Machiya. The double-storey house can accommodate four of us, as well as outdoor baths. Although I only stayed for one night, I will definitely stay again next time I return to Kyoto!

Superb experience in Nohga. Everything here has been curated very carefully, you can tell the people or group behind this whole hotel concept really put in so much thought for their guests. Absolutely loved my entire stay here. I eat breakfast at their bakery every morning. Love their customisable bagels, mortadella sandwich, salted bun and cinnamon mochi donut. Chocolate mochi donut was a little too sweet. Americano and matcha latte were great. Thoroughly enjoyed their rooftop bar every night (opens till 12am). Awesome vibes, very romantic atmosphere. Staff are sweet, gives heat packs and blankets to keep us warm. Warm cocktails are a must during winters. You can order any random cocktails and they all taste so good. The distance from the train station to this hotel is quite a distance but I think the overall experience you get in this hotel makes the walk a worthwhile one. Def recommending this hotel to my friends who wanna come to Kyoto.

I noticed this hotel's location on my last visit to Kyoto. It's incredibly convenient for Eikando, Philosopher's Path, Ginkakuji, Honen-in, Anrakuji, Shinnyodo, Eishoin, Chion-in, and Shoren-in – absolutely the best choice for autumn leaf viewing. The hotel is small yet exquisite, offering excellent tea sets and tea. It boasts a beautiful garden shared with Okazaki Shrine's別邸 (detached residence). The hotel facilities are also good (though unfortunately, no buckwheat pillows, and the air conditioning temperature was a bit uncomfortable and hard to adjust). The lounge has a nice view, serving only alcohol, coffee, and tea. I ordered a chestnut cake. The restaurant service was polite but lacked warmth. There's a large supermarket and a bus stop nearby, but restaurants are a bit further away, so I didn't go out in the evenings.

Spectacular experience, really good service starting from a friendly welcome email by the team up until we checked out. Helped out with a wide range of tasks, from restaurant reservations to booking taxis. Incredible English-speaking staff, amazing in-hotel restaurant, and beautiful garden in the lobby. Tastefully decorated and large spacious rooms make it a must-try!
