Pension Kitashirakawa

The room is more Japanese-style, but it has a strong smell. I had to open the window for an entire afternoon before the smell subsided. The quilt and other items are not of very good quality. Although there are no visible stains, it is still very worrying about hygiene issues. The stairs are very steep and you have to be careful. You must wear the slippers provided by the hotel to enter the bedroom, which may cause you to fall. The owner is very enthusiastic and willing to help. Toothpaste, toothbrushes and combs are not provided. The surrounding environment is very much like a rural town, compact and beautiful, and very clean and tidy. There is a supermarket diagonally opposite. The items are much cheaper than 711 and the variety is also complete. If you don't have to, I don't recommend staying here.

The reception lady was very warm and thoughtful. She personally took me into the room and taught me how to use some facilities. I booked the cheapest room with a public bathroom, but I was given a private bathroom, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was very large and divided into three areas: bathroom, lobby, and bedroom. I stayed there for two days, and it was not like other Japanese hotels that didn't clean. The bedding in the bedroom was very clean and I slept very comfortably. Their bath and shampoo sets were from the DHC brand. On the day of check-out, the lady bowed again to say goodbye. The Japanese service spirit was very useful to me as a foreigner.

The landlady was very kind and polite! The room was clean and I was able to relax!

It is not a typical hotel/motel, but rather a guesthouse outside the city. There are no facilities for simple cooking (induction, microwave oven) in the room, the lighting is not bright, and there is no desk, so you cannot do document work at night. There is no bathroom in the room, so you have to use the public bathroom. The bed is soft and suitable for a narrow-minded stay. The owner may not have professional reception skills, but she is very kind and trustworthy. If it is your first time traveling to Kyoto, transportation may feel difficult, but it is not bad if you can tolerate a little inconvenience.

Small, very small, there is a smell when the room is opened

A good and kind woman met us and told us everything. Clean, you can live. But the hotel is a bit old
