Enjoyed our stay a lot: perfect japanese breakfast every morning, rental bikes and everything needed to relax after busy days of sightseeing. Loundry on the site was available as well. Owners and staff were very helpful and accommodating.

This was a great stay, the hosts were amazing, gave me a route to see some temples that were close enough to walk to. They lent me a jacket and gloves for my walk. The room was nice, quiet, the bed was comfy and stocked with tea. The breakfast they prepare for you is also fantastic, can't recommend enough! Feel at ease booking here. I will be staying again!

Amazing place to stay! Traditional, and our room was huge compared to Japanese standards. Very quiet and clean, despite shared amenities. Did not try the breakfast. Owners were lovely and friendly and super accommodating! Would stay again.

The owners are the sweetest. The hostel owner would give me snacks whenever I was working the common area, called taxis for me, and even directed me to a local festival happening in the area. The staff can speak english very well, and there was also many forgeiners in the guesthouse which was very reassuring. The room was very cozy, and it was fun to stay in a traditional style japanese room. I liked the futon, but others who do not fancy firmer beds may be a little uncomfortable. Overall, an amazing value and experience!

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They helped us figure out the bus system, helped us to choose sites to visit, and they were very welcoming. The room was close to the bathrooms which were private and very clean. I like having a small western breakfast available each morning.

While it is a bit of a walk to the nearest station, there are convenient buses nearby. The guesthouse staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the rooms and bathroom were clean. Loved it here.

Guesthouse Soi was adorable with really unique, artistic decor in the shared spaces. The staff was so welcoming. We stayed in a Japanese style room that had 2 futons but could accomodate a 3rd in neccesary. Our room was spacious, clean with an air conditioner that worked super well. There was a hot pot, tea cups and tea bags in our room which was a nice touch. Of all the "shared bathroom" stays we did on our trip to Japan, this one really got it right: the shared bathroom was a whole area -- kind of like an old school dorm-- but it had three fully enclosed toilet "rooms", three fully enclosed shower "rooms" (with a small dry) area where you could get dressed, and a row of sinks and mirrors. We did walk to Kiyumizudera, but for the most part, vehicular transport was needed to get to most of the sights and the station. There is a bis stop down the street!

The staff were so kind and took time to give us advice about travel tips and answer our questions. My husband also really enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast that was offered and was a very affordable price for the quality.

The staff, Maki-san and her family, were so incredibly considerate and accommodating. I really appreciated them. We had several hiccups in our plans and they made sure we still had a clean room, gave us medicine and soup for the one of us when she got sick, and invited us to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with them and fed us cake and traditional soba. I doubt we could’ve had better accommodations anywhere else. Even though it was a bit of a walk to get to a bus and there weren’t many restaurants open near the guesthouse, I wouldn’t change anything about our stay. I highly recommend staying at Guesthouse Soi, and I am planning to send a thank you package to Maki-san and her family to express my gratitude for their hospitality that went above and beyond what was expected.
