Traditionnel et plein de belles intentions 😀😃😄

Un super hébergement traditionnel. Des lits classiques japonais, un escalier japonais parfait (étroit et c'est super). Un spectaculaire acceuil familiale. On a eu des couches gratuites et mon garçon a eu droit a un feu d'artifice privé! C'était vraiment génial.

Greatest !!

We felt very comfortable in the old Japanese style room. The room and common spaces were very spacious, well-cleaned, and very comfortable. We are surprised that the amenities and services were great and they had everything. You won't have any trouble staying here. The owner was very kind and attentive. We don't think you could find a better place to stay than here. We will definitely choose this place next time again !

A warm place to stay

It’s a beautiful house with a very spacious room. A small garden also pretty. I’ve met the owner mother and father and they are so lovely. I talk about anything with the owner father’s. Hopefully I can stay again in here if I visit kyoto. This is the best place to stay so far for my 5th Kyoto trips.

Alejada pero tradicional y limpia

Una casita tradicional! Increíblemente limpia y ordenado. Y la mujer que nos atendió encantadora y servicial.

No está muy bien comunicado con puntos de interés ni con la línea JR… has de coger el bus casi siempre.

Lovely traditional Japanese stay in Kyoto

Very lovely traditional Japanese accomodation! We really enjoyed our stay here, the lady was so nice!

The location was a bit out from the city centre and the stairs were very steep to get down to the bathroom/entry level.

A super landlord very nicely organized everything, and he also made us a wonderful kakigori at night. The house has all the comfort you could imagine. I will be back next time in Kyoto.

Probably the most pleasant stay in Kyoto, with all necessary amenities in one place!

This has to be the best stay I had in Japan. This is not an exaggeration. What makes a stay comfortable is a mix of things and here, all the boxes were checked out :) 1.) Room - it's big...huge! For japanese standards, this is like your own apartment. 2.) Kitchen - probably the best equipped kitchen available for guests I've seen so far. You can even take some snacks if you want :) 3.) Location - it is quite a good location for western parts of Kyoto, not far from the bus stops and a subway station (you need to switch lines when going from Kyoto Central). What makes this place more special though is a close proximity to a big hipermarket (Aeon) where you can buy all you need on a limited budget. In worst case scenario, FamilyMart, 7Eleven and Lawson are near the subway station so you won't be caught unprepared. All in all, along with the mentioned kitchen, you can make your own meals without issues and save some money for things that matter! 4.) Owner - I had a huge luck of meeting the owner (Katsuhiko Tokutsu) who is a really gentle, friendly soul. Along with our friend Akira (whom I met there :) ), we were able to sit down for a hot pot of his own making and spend a very pleasant evening after my day trip to Nagoya. A very pleasant surprise! It's small things like this and the people we meet along the way, that make the stay even better than it normally would be. I really hope to come back to Kyoto with friends and family...and I will definitely choose Villa Kyoto Saiin for it!

Do I have to say anything bad at all? Well, in a typical japanese building, it can be a bit chilly in winter. Nothing out of ordinary :D And just be mindful of the stairs. I'm used to them being like that but you don't want to climb them after a few drinks :D

Superb

I loved that it was a home that has been adapted for guests. So I felt I was staying in someone's house but it was still private. Very generous with supplies and use of common space.

My husband didn't like the stairs to the bathroom. But I was Ok. There was a rail and light.

perfect stay in a traditional Japanese style house

Traditional Japanese style home with great facilities and location. The host left snacks and food each day and provides lots of extra food/meals for very reasonable prices. The place was very clean and the heating systems work very well.

The host was very friendly and willing to help Loved the experience of sleeping in a traditional house We had a lot of facilities that we could use Everything was very clean and spacious

We stayed at the top floor and the stairs were dangerous to walk specifically if you had baggage. You had to take your time while using the stairs.

Most authentic B&B Japanese experience

The villa provides with a very authentic Japanese experience. You will sleep on a futon bed like a Japanese and have a shower in Japanese fashion. The host was very friendly and demonstrated exceptional hospitality. He offered snacks and free coffee/tea for breakfast (spirits and beer were offered at a reasonable price).

One thing was that although it was early October, it was already rather chilly in the evening, and we could not turn on the heating mode of the A/C unit. While the blankets were very warm, I can imagine it wouldn't be a comfortable experience in colder months. The host was very friendly, but the downside of his hospitality was perhaps a feeling of a lack of privacy. We appreciated kind guidance around the area, but when we felt tired in the end of the day we just wanted to go to shower and bed rather than being entertained. Also the host was not at the place when we arrived (we were late by one hour though), and sent an instruction how to open the door via a message. And it was all in Japanese! It was a pure luck that we managed to unlock the front door, and any traveler from abroad would feel puzzled by a Japanese instruction. I think it would be helpful to have at least a template in English and send it to your guests if they cannot read Japanese.

it was great. we got the cheapest yet very satisfying place! our money is all worth it and more!

they were so accommodating. the place is clean and there are more than enough complementary foods, utensils and toiletries that we enjoyed!

everything was excellent. we just had a hard time going up and down the stairs coz it was too small and making noises.

Generous ! I would say that’s the adjectif describing the best this guest house. The place is huge and gorgeous ! And there is so many little attention to the details everywhere to ease your stay. We had the best riding day thanks to the owner and he’s help ! We even had a problem for the check in, and he nicely waited us until midnight! With not even a blaming! Thank you again for this lovely house.

Traditional facility and the old school hospitality in accordance with the destination.

The host's hospitality and willingness to give useful advice. The location is convenient in terms of transportation but not that fun. The room and the shower room were very spacious. The facility is a typical Japanese style of the old times. In total, good value for money!

Nothing in particular. Let's say that the futon and sheets had a bit dusty smell.

Fabulous

Everything was really clean, the beds were super comfortable, host was really friendly! There are also free snacks and water bottles that you can take anytime you want! Nicely equipped kitchen (you can can leave food or beverages you bought in the shared fridge on the first floor, witch was really useful thing to have). All in all - nice place for this price!

Only two showers on relatively big group of people - I had to wait half an hour to use the shower.
