Awesome to stay on a century old, traditional building, the place is clean overall, but it would have been nice to see a staff.

Kyoto traditional house stay
Small house East (best) side of Kyoto, it's is a small shopping street and I found the location excellent to go anywhere. Its an experience to stay in such building and also very good value for money. However, it come with the traditional houses' features including a complete lack of sound proofing. Bring hearplugs and stay quiet at night for the other guests. Was totally worth if for the price but set your expectations accordingly.
Sehr einfach aber zweckmäßig, wir hätten auch relativ gut geschlafen wenn andere Hostelgäste nicht um 3 Uhr nachts eine lustige Gesprächsrunde eingeläutet hätten (durch die Papierwände hört man natürlich jeden Schritt und jedes Wort, was auch okay geht aber nicht um die Zeit). Zimmer war sauber, Dusche leider nicht, die Haare im Ablauf waren auch sicher nicht erst seit einem Tag dort. Mit dem kontaktlosen Check-hat alles prima geklappt, Handtücher waren leider erst etwas später verfügbar aber nicht dramatisch.
Staff were so friendly, polite and helpful. We were trying to find an onsen with a sauna, and the lady rang around for us. The place is very clean. Good location to food,station and attractions

Very pleasant and friendly place. Traditional hostel in 100 year old building. It is very small so expect to be in close quarters with other guests.

조금 불편함
스탠다드 트윈룸썻는데 건물자체 방음이안되고 에어컨을 방안이아니라 숙소입구옆에서 조정해야해 조금 불편햇음 직원은 친절하지만 샤워실이 한개라서 오래기다려야하고 숙소 분위기가 매우 조용하고 떠들면 안될것같은 분위기임 가보면암. 위치는 번화가에서 조금 멀지만 오히려 조용해서 좋았음. 자전거는 인당 500엔에 다음날아침까지 쓸수잇엇음
