I recently stayed at Guesthouse Kotoya and it was the comfiest place I stayed in Japan. The apartment was spacious with a big bathroom, and the in-room facilities were top-notch. The staff were nice and helpful, even moving us to a different room when our A/C wasn't working. The rooms were clean, and they provided slippers to maintain cleanliness. The kitchen was well-equipped with a microwave and fridge, and they even had a washing machine for us to use. a fantastic experience with excellent location and amenities. Highly recommend!

Would recommend this hotel.

Located in a small back alley near the station, Guesthouse Kotoya Kyoto is a budget-friendly option for travelers. The rooms are spacious and clean, with a good supply of towels. The guesthouse is extremely near to a halal eatery, making it convenient for those with dietary restrictions.

The staff is not very supportive, and guests are left to navigate on their own.
