We had a fantastic stay at the Machiya Kamiumeya! The staff was incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations. The rooms were beautifully clean and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet residential area but still within easy reach of Kyoto's attractions. We especially loved the option to make our own coffee in the room. We will definitely be recommending this place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - surrounded by temples and with great local restaurants just a short walk away. We even found the best cafe in the world just a few minutes from the hotel! The room was incredibly comfortable, with heated floorboards that felt amazing under our feet. The beds were super cozy too, ensuring a great night's sleep. The bathroom was spacious and well-equipped, and we even had a cute little garden to enjoy.

While the location was quiet and peaceful, it was necessary to take a bus or a 10-minute walk to reach the town or train station. However, this was a small inconvenience that did not detract from our overall experience.

The refurbished house with a typical Japanese style and the helpful staff make for a great atmosphere. The hotel is located near a bus stop and a nice local café, making exploring the area easy.

The hotel is a bit far from the subway and the noise from the street can be a disturbance to guests staying in front-facing rooms. The Wi-Fi connection isn't great during peak hours.

We had a wonderful experience staying at a traditional Japanese Machiya. The room was immaculate and had stunning views of the Japanese gardens. The high-tech amenities, including underfloor heating and a Toto toilet, added to our comfort. The staff were friendly and spoke English well. The location in a quiet residential area was perfect for exploring Kyoto's historical sites. I highly recommend this hotel for an authentic Japanese lodging experience.

United Kingdom, January 2023

We had an amazing stay at this budget-friendly guesthouse. The location was perfect, with the train station, bus stop, and many sites within walking distance. The room was comfortable with a nice design and offered a great view of the Japanese gardens. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The facilities were modern and high-tech, including high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, and underfloor heating. We also enjoyed the spacious shower and the lovely smell of the shower gels and soaps.

The only small issue we encountered was that the room was initially warm upon check-in, but the staff promptly addressed this by opening the windows and adjusting the air-conditioning.
