This certainly is not a guest house but a hostel dressed up a bit like Ryokan - a traditional Japanese style housing. It does indeed have tatamis, but that's all. The rooms are tiny with just a closet and a small table, the tatami-beds are barely anything, like sleeping on a floor (and we stayed in two real ryokan guesthouses after this one and the bedding was much more comfortable). The walls are just paper, thus that's all that stands between you and your neighbours - you can hear EVERYTHING that people are saying. The owners request people to stay silent after 10PM, but the hostel staff leaves at 10, thus it is up to the guests themselves to stay silent. So if you have a bunch of backpackers or tourists making noise around you until midnight - nobody will stop them from doing so. The place is relatively clean, but the showers are shared, so this again depends on the other guests - in most cases you will find the shower full of hair of the previous user. Check-out is 11AM and every hour of late check out is 10,000 yen or 100 USD, which I understand for enforcing the rules, but still seems quite excessive. If you're a backpacker and don't care about facilities much, it's an ok place and quite central. But if you want at least reasonable comfort, then this is NOT the place. The hting I dislike the most most is dishonest advertising - if you're a hostel just say so, don't pretend to be a guesthouse as this raises certain expecations. Not recommended at all.

アクセス抜群、素泊まりに最適
京都駅から歩いて数分、とてもアクセスが良いです。 鍵もしっかりしており、セキュリティも万全でした。 素泊まりで利用するのであればとても良いと思います。ただし、洗面台がないのが気になりました。 スタッフの方々も丁寧で、とても良くしていただきました。

早上到民宿時櫃檯竟然ˇ都沒人,加line帳號詢問, 回覆我10:30才會到民宿(櫃檯服務時間10點就開始了), 讓我在民宿等了好久, 這樣的感覺好差喔.... 房間內的空氣有潮濕的味道, 退房後如果想要暫時寄放行李, 要額外收費(這點感覺有點差) 如果你只是想要省住宿費, 也許能考慮這裡, 但如果想住得稍微有品質一點, 我完全不推薦這裡, 因為同類型塌塌米民宿環境比這裡好的有很多

京都で三連休中の2泊の料金としては大変格安です。寝具も清潔ですが、室の匂いが籠っているのが気になりました。

Nice guest house to stay for everyone!
It was so good to stay because the house is like real Japanese house so it made me feel cozy. The staffs are so nice and they recommended me to visit in Kyoto:) And also I could talk other guests who are from other countries so it was fun time!
