Summary of traveller reviews

Guest House Kyoto Inn in Kyoto offers a friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and a great location near the station. Guests appreciate the clean facilities and comfortable beds. Some mention room sizes can be small and a lack of social vibe, with occasional comments on security lockers and door locks.

Location is far but I felt safe here and it’s pretty quiet here. Near a couple of 7/11a so that was nice.

It was a nice place, with a decent lounge to chill out in, comfy beds, and nice showers, and it's very close to the station. (Railway lines are just over the road, but they don't run all night) The staff would say hello but not much else, which is disappointing considering the reviews this place has for the staff. The only things that let this pace down were there's no locks on the room doors, and that you had to pay for a security locker of ¥1000.

Disappointing in many ways so I nearly gave them the lowest possible rating on this app (which is 2/10, zeros are not an option).
