Very charming and helpful
Haruya Umekoji is so charming and authentic. Less than 10 minutes walk from the Umekoji station, and right next to the aquarium. The staff was very helpful and they even have bicycles you can rent out for the day (trust me, it’s the better way to get around Kyoto).

Great staffs ever
2 stops from kyoto Station if you're taking bus which cost RM 8 per trip. If you choose walking then would be 15-20mins. Staffs are extremely polite and friendly (really love them so much) You need to be quiet and careful during the stays becoz of the building structure, can easily hear people next door talking or walking. With quite a strong wood smell as it's a 100 years old building. The room is clean, overall a good stay and recommended to someone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese culture stay.

This is a quaint little hotel located in a quiet neighbourhood 15 minutes away from the train station. The buildings are old but well-maintained and clean.

A nice traditional Japanese hotel
A typical Japanese style hotel. A good experience but shared shower. A bus stop is at front of hotel. Front desk only opens to 9pm. So check in must be before that time. Will book this hotel again if have a chance in Kyoto.

It’s great for travelers who are minimalist and enjoy efficiency but not recommend for anyone who needs extra care and more hospitality, or assistance.
