Overpriced
The accommodation and staff were pleasant enough, however the level of comfort and facilities appeared overpriced compared to our accommodation at other locations.

Convenient
Location was ok, about 10 min away from Kyoto Station. Not so much to do there at night, but there's 7-eleven nearby which proved very convenient.
Everything was very clean. Room size was ok but the bathroom was a bit small.
There's not much interaction between guests, and one should keep quiet at night.
The owner was very nice. Overall, it was a good experience.

Kitchenette shown in pictures is a shared one and not particularly clean.
Room so small that suitcases would need to be stored outside of room when futons deployed,
Bathroom tiny cubicle in corner,
Room facilities quoted on tiny table at floor level in corner and not very useable.
No clothing storage.
Air conditioning did not work.
To sum up totally uninhabitable for a couple.
Checked out after five minutes in room and lost my money.

untidy and unclean room
there was no cleaning in the room. hair on the bed linen and pillow. a lof of hair in the shower room. the worst. I do not know how many days it is left uncleaned.
Well I like that everything was close to the station. A lot of great restaurants, shops, convenient stores, and beautiful sights. Over all I would come back for sure.
Op loopafstand van station Kyoto. Netjes en schoon.
