Nice european style rooms with clean facilities, great english speaking staff and so much information available! we only stayed here for one night, and we were fitting a lot into a short time period, but this place was perfect for that, clean, easy location, close to the train and tram station and well heated rooms for winter.

My wife and I stayed for here for 2 days while in Kyoto and found the place to be clean and pleasant. No real bells or whistles but we enjoyed our stay. The location was very close to Kyoto Station which made it convenient for both train and bus travel. The room was clean and quiet. The bathroom was shared with other travelers but was clean and efficient. I would recommend this ryokan to budget travelers and those that are looking for something different from typical hotel rooms.

Chita Guest Inn is a lovely guesthouse, only a short walk from Kyoto train station. The first thing you'll see is the most friendly patron of the guesthouse; she was very welcoming, and helped us out with a lot of stuff such as finding nice restaurants, finding the right modes of transportation and other tips. The whole Inn has a nice traditional atmosphere to it, and your room has tatami mats and kimonos waiting for you. There is a computer with free internet (and free wifi), and a roofterrace.

Chita Guest Inn is 10 mins walk from the station, just off a laneway opposite a huge temple on Karasuma street. There is a bike rental shop and it is just to the right of that heading towards the centre of town. Kaori was a fantastic host! Very friendly and helpful and great English. Rooms have TVs, tatami mat-style but good futon mattresses. There is only 1 bathroom but it was fine while I was there. There's a kitchen, communal area and internet. Some of the rooms have a lot of noise though.

Good location once you find it- The hostel is located within walking distance to Kyoto Station; however it is not easy to find the first time and the hostel does not provide a good map. Study Google maps before you leave (notice particularly the location of the hostel in relation to Higashi Honganji) and you should be all right. Helpful English-speaking staff: If you don't speak much Japanese and want to stay in a Japanese-style inn, this might be a good choice.

Not far from Kyoto station. Owner was very nice and helpful. Traditional Japanese house. The surrounding area also was worth visiting.

"Highly recommended".This traditional inn is at one of the best locations in central Kyoto.Its a few minutes walk from Kyoto train station and surrounded by beautiful temples and family run bars and restaurants.The rooms are of a comfortable size and kept very clean. The staff speak English and are very helpful with information on the area. The curfew is at midnight but this can be flexible if you just tell them before going out. I would stay there again for sure.
