We have stayed at Koiya (which means small Koifish) for 6 days and couldn't have made a better choice. It is not only a very beautiful traditional Machiya (japanese style wooden house) but also offered a very friendly experience all around. The staff which is there the majority of the day is always very helpful and have given us plenty of tips for our Kyoto itenary. It also wasn't an issue to keep our luggage there for an additional 3 days as we were traveling around. The kitchen has all things for you to cook food and also with a full house we never ran into shortage of bathrooms or toilets. As its an old house it can get colder around fall but the heater in the room brought us warm evenings! Allthough the house is more in the north of Kyoto, it still has a good bus connection from the center and is very close to some of the temples and shrines including Kinkakuji. From our Japan trip this has been our accomondation highlight, especially thanks to the staff and the beauty of this house. We can only recommend to book some nights at Koiya if you are staying in Kyoto.

Lovely staff and a beautiful place to stay.

Väldigt trevlig personal och vackert boende.

古き良き造りで清潔感もありとても素敵なお宿でした。 共有スペースには縁側があり、ゆっくりと朝食を取れる時間もよかったです。 またお世話になりたいと思います。

スタッフの方が皆さんとても親切で、快適な旅となりました。本当にお世話になりました！！また京都に行く際には伺いたいです。

隅々まで掃除されててとても快適に過ごせた

最初から最後まで、とても気分の良い滞在でした。 夜中に人が歩く音で目が覚めたりもしましたが、こればっかりは、時の運ですものねっ。 今度は、２階のお庭がキレイに見える部屋にも宿泊したいと思いました。 今回の、小さなお部屋も、何不自由なく、とても快適でしたけれども。 ありがとうございました。

사진 그대로 참 좋았습니다 교토의 매력을 느낄수있는 그런.. 곳이랄까 직원분들도 너무 잘해주시고 친절하셔서 좋았습니다 기회가 생기면 다시 가고싶네요!

施設そのものには特にありませんが、他の宿泊者のやかましい足音でよく寝付けませんでした。

とても味のある旅館みたいで、共用スペースから見える庭がとっても素敵でした。寝てる時に誰かが部屋の前を通る際の床のきしむ音が気になるくらいで他はとても満足しています！

The location is excellent, direct bus from Kyoto station, friendly helpful staff, lovely living area opening onto garden. Breakfast is provided. We wanted to return for our last few days but unfortunately booked out. First choice next time!!

Authenticité, charme, simplicité, font de ce lieu une expérience unique à un prix abordable

An adorable guesthouse with SUPER friendly staff. The grounds are beautiful and the garden is stunning.

温暖的民宿,雖然住在1/F的單人房有点吵,但很有家的味道;因我的睡眠習慣我要求了多ㄧ個枕頭,民宿的職員給了他自己的那個給我,真的很不好意思,很感謝他的幫忙才能好眠!!!

Wonderful Experience. Seems this house belong to a samurai. I feel like I'm in the Edo period. Lovely garden especially during autumn. Also, lovely staff.

Guest house的園景漂亮，環境清靜能夠好好休息。附近的店舖也很齊全，挺方便的。......................

Actually I didn't stay at this hotel....I had to cancel my Japan trip due to some family emergency. Then I called the Hotels& other agency to see if it's possible to cancel my 5 reservations for hotels, 4 of these were non--refundable, or perseve it for my next trip. Saddly, Koiya's police not allow for that. And lucky, I got the others refunds.
