Amazing friendly staff who were willing to do anything to accommodate our needs. Convenient location, only short walk from Zeze train station that takes you 10 minutes into heart of Kyoto perfect for day trips. It was also located across the road from the lake and was very nice relaxing neighborhood rather then busy centre of Kyoto. 7/11 down the street as well. Rooms were very clean and organized and had very cool themes. Pool table, dart board, and smoking area also available. Affordable price and great value for money. Will be returning when back in Kyoto area.

The hosts were so kind, and had such great eye for detail. From the bathroom slippers that they gave to us to the help we received when booking a rental bike - they did everything and so much more! They even gave us a lift to the station, which was very appreciated. Arigatou gozaimasu!

If i could give them more than 10 i would say 100. The room is pretty simple, nothing that fancy or expensive but the owners are so kind and welcoming. They were super kind and helpful, the whole stay at the inn was more than awesome. The best hotel of my stay in Japan
