This place was so clean!
Beds were comfortable but the pillows weren’t unfortunately, that’s the only bad thing about comfort.
I felt it was in a good location, quiet and not far to the trains.
The lady that checked us in was so lovely & gave us lots of information of the local area & the best places to view the cherry blossoms that were blooming, I wish I Knew her name !
We loved our stay at seibido inn and would stay again with a different pillow :)

Conveniently located. Very friendly and helpful staff who were very willing to advise on trips, sightseeing, transportation etc. Convenient shared kitchen facilities to have your own breakfast or make coffee or tea any time you like. The room with six futons was comfortable for our group of three adults and two children.

Super sympa
De passage à Kyoto pour 4jours. Découvrant le Japon pour la première fois, les personnes de l'hôtel nous ont été d'une grande aide. Serviable et à l'écoute, ils ont su nous conseiller que ce soit pour les endroits où manger mais aussi les endroits à visiter.

The hotel was well situated, clean and had all the comforts needed. My only comments is that I found the pillow uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have some ambient lighting for when I was reading before going to sleep.

Leuk relaxed hotelletje dichtbij hotspots als paleis, Nijo en vismarkt. Wel kleine kamers en weinig opslagruimte. Prima optie.
Nice little hotel, centrally located, a short walk to shopping and restaurants. There is a great breakfast cafe about two blocks away. These are traditional tatami mat rooms with mattresses that unfold on the floor. I really liked the traditional Japanese bedding, but some people might not. That's the only reason that I gave "room comfort" a "4" rating, rather than a "5". The staff was really wonderful. The receptionists, Kaoru and Oh, were able to understand what I was interested in and gave me good advice about things to see.

Great service in the great Kinosaki-Onsen! Free ride from the train station, and they delivered our luggage down while we wandered the town for a small fee. Overall a great stay in a traditional place.

Nice and accessible hotel
Clean, spacious hotel with helpful staff. Close to bus and subway stations (but keep in mind the closest JR station is Kyoto if you have a JR pass). There is a charge for towel rental.
