Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The rooms are pretty clean. The luggage space is quite separate as the rooms have tatami mats. I had already read review about the entrance to the Inn being very clumsy and unorganized so I was prepared. I wanted to show rooms with tatami mats and typical Japanese style tea table and mini balcony to my kids hence I booked at the Inn for couple of nights. Overall good and comfortable. The tatami room was spacious and clean, if anyone has small kids they can play around without getting hurt. Pricewise okay. 10minutes walk to Kyoto station. Quiet area. One gets good teaching about some of the Japanese culture like changing shoes into house slippers at the entrance, plus rules of tatami, rules of bathroom etc....
Negative: The entrance needs revamp and good cleaning. It is pretty shabby. The owner can get the Front office and sitting space cleaned with couple of tables or Sofa so that guests can feel welcomed once they enter the Inn. With the kind of facade now it looks very unwelcoming.
Summary: Clean, spacious rooms however entrance need revamp.
