Kyoto traditional house stay

Small house East (best) side of Kyoto, it's is a small shopping street and I found the location excellent to go anywhere. Its an experience to stay in such building and also very good value for money. However, it come with the traditional houses' features including a complete lack of sound proofing. Bring hearplugs and stay quiet at night for the other guests. Was totally worth if for the price but set your expectations accordingly.

The property does not look like that pictures on Expedia. The mats you sleep on on the floor are thin, other hostels i have been to have not been like this. The bathroom is outside but kept clean, down a VERY steep flight of stairs which was not great. The shower was clean. Breakfast included means rice porridge made in a crock pot situation left there all day to harden, cleaned out and then more is made. There is ZERO staff present if you have any problems. The ceiling has visible rain damage but it rained bad when we stayed and rain did not come inside. Also the door is a sliding door and it doesn’t fully shut, tiny crack so people can see inside. Wasn’t the worst but would not pay for it again.

On a dû quitter après une seule nuit parce qu'on n'a pas été capables de dormir de la nuit. Le tatami est de très piètre qualité, la ventilation industrielle juste au-dessus de nos têtes faisait un boucan d'enfer, le manque d'isolation nous faisait entendre chaque pas dans la rue en face et le manque de rideaux combiné à la lumière dans la rue a détruit notre rythme circadien. En plus, nous n'avons croisé aucun employé, ils travaillent tous à distance depuis la pandémie, ce qui peut expliquer l'absence de déjeuner inclus. Finalement, lors de notre arrivée, un inconnu dormait sur le plancher de la salle commune, ce qui n'a pas aidé notre sentiment que cet endroit est un piège à touristes.

とても快適に過ごせました。

おそらく値段以上の価値がある施設と思います。快適に過ごすことが出来ました。ベッドにも荷物置き場があり、配慮が行き届いていました。スーツケースを持って上り下りするにはあまりにも階段が急だったのと、朝のおかゆがあっという間になくなるのが、気になったところです。後者は、サービスなのでコメントすべきところではないかもしれませんが。

Einfaches Zimmer, relativ sauber, in Ordnung.

Sehr einfach aber zweckmäßig, wir hätten auch relativ gut geschlafen wenn andere Hostelgäste nicht um 3 Uhr nachts eine lustige Gesprächsrunde eingeläutet hätten (durch die Papierwände hört man natürlich jeden Schritt und jedes Wort, was auch okay geht aber nicht um die Zeit). Zimmer war sauber, Dusche leider nicht, die Haare im Ablauf waren auch sicher nicht erst seit einem Tag dort. Mit dem kontaktlosen Check-hat alles prima geklappt, Handtücher waren leider erst etwas später verfügbar aber nicht dramatisch.

「チェックイン方法はメールでお知らせします」とありましたが、メールが来なかったので直接宿に行ったら説明書きがあり分かりました。 基本的にスタッフさんはおらず、タオルなど使ったものはチェックアウト時に各自料金を置いておくシステムです。皆さんの善意で成り立っている宿だと思います。 部屋はいい感じの和室で落ち着けます。リビング（和室ですが）には漫画などがあり、自由に読めます。朝ごはんのお粥も美味しかったです。トイレが外なので、冬は少し寒いかもしれません。 音を気にする人は向いてないですが、他の方の生活音などにも風情が感じられる、という方にはオススメです。

部屋については概ね写真通りです。かなり暑い日ではありましたが、エアコンも問題なく使用でき快適に過ごせました。 ただ、建物自体が古いこともあり、誰かが歩くときしみ音が響きます。他の宿泊者の方もみなさんとても気を遣って使用されていたと思いますが、それでも音はするので神経質な方の宿泊は避けた方がいいです。また、階段がハシゴの様な急なものしかないので足腰に不安がある方も避けるべきかと思います。トイレなどの設備が一階にしかありません。 不便な点もありますが、それらが問題ない方であれば、昔ながらの日本家屋での暮らしが体験できて、交通の便も良く周りも静かでお手頃価格で宿泊ができるのでお勧め出来ます。
