Guest House Kinta Reviews

This was an extremely clean and nice traditional Japanese hostel, ryokan style. The bathrooms are clean and provide nice hot showers. I highly recommend staying at this hostel. It is in a very cool part of Kyoto as well.

Awesome location. Quiet streets with lots of shops, temples, restaurants, and the occasional geisha. The beds were pretty comphy, and the showers were nice and clean. The staff speaks little to no English, but regardless they are very warm and welcoming!

The place is very clean and well kept. Nice decorated, I slept like a king in a futon in the 8 bed mixed dorm. However, only one people from the staff can speak some english (not much). Common area consists in a tiny room with a couch for two, and sort of bar/restaurant where you can use a japanese style table, but this second one closes at 10:00

Ariagato gozaimasita. Thank you very much for the nice stay. I felt lucky to have chosen your place. Your house is clean, and people including the front girls and oka-san were nice. I would love to stay your place again and recommend to my friends for sure. ; ) Let me note offering a small safe (kinko) and free Internet is very considerate. Also, Ofuro was very interesting to visit as cultural experiences - even for Japanese like myself.

This place was amazing! All the facilities were new and clean. The beds are very comfortable and the staff were extremely accommodating . My girlfriend and I stayed in the mixed dorm and the owner moved our two beds together giving us much more space. Caution: if you are trying to find this place using google maps you will not find it.

I really enjoyed my stay at Guest House Kinta. The staff were friendly and the check in was easy, even with my broken Japanese. The staff are able to understand some English so that was good too. The location is ideal for walking tours of Gion and surrounds. The breakfast in the morning is delicious and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I definitely want to go back there next time I am in Kyoto.

Very good hostel and very helpful staff!! The hostel is located in a acient feeling street, everything in it and around it has acient characteristics. The location is also very close to kamogawa, a beautiful river in kyoto. I like this hostel and will definitly choose to live here again next time.

Really cool atmosphere in a very old/traditional Japanese style inn. Friendly staff, though their English is a little wanting. Right in the middle of Gion.

The owner is a lovely elderly woman who cooks all the breakfasts. She doesn\'t speak any English, though the staff sometimes do - but she was still always helpful and friendly. This is a great place to go for a traditional stay - and the breakfasts are wonderful, especially for only 500 yen.
