The Machiya Kamiumeya

Amazing view from the hotel room, the staff was very polite and always attend to us immediately when we request for assistance, the room was very clean and spacious.

Great if you want to experience traditional style Japanese accommodation. Not much around close-by in terms of dining or public transport. Also if you are tall you’ll be dodging door frames 😊

The room was absolutely gorgeous, just as good as the photos. The beds were super comfortable. Also the staff went above and beyond to help us even when we made a mistake, which really smoothed over our stay in Kyoto. Thank you so much, staff at Machiya Kamiuyema!

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in the future!

Location: 8/10 Communication:10/10 Comfort: 5/10 Value: 5/10 We were really looking forward to our stay at Macha, especially after a hectic week in Tokyo we really wanted a place that was zen and allow us to unwind for a bit. Unfortunately our expectations were not met We were given a room on the ground floor, and for the next three days and nights had relentless noise from above us, with heaving stomping, dragging of items and things rolling on the floor. The noise made it difficult to sleep, and was not we were expecting at all. Also two of our windows had the blinds/curtains removed and were damaged, so we’re flooded with light at night. When we complained to the hotel, they offered to move us to another hotel in the city at 2am - which was obviously not an option for us While the communication was really good, this was not the experience in Kyoto we were hoping for, especially given the very high per night price We ended up booking another place which was a traditional Ryokan for our last two nights in Kyoto and were so grateful we did as the experience really was soo much more relaxing and comfortable. I believe this inn could be a wonderful experience for many but it will very much depend on the room and whether they have fixed the issues we experienced Kyoto is a beautiful city with soo much to do, see and experience - snd the people are just wonderful x

Lovely Machiya in a quiet area ; it’s 15 min walk to the closet subway station ; however we enjoyed Kyoto as a walkable city and took public transportation to different sightseeing places
