I stayed for more than two weeks at the hotel. I had a great stay. The bathroom and shower room were always perfectly cleaned. The people working there were very nice and helpful. The bedding was comfortable. And the hotel is very calm.

Excellent, kind, and helpful host. Emiko and her family had great English and the inn was very welcoming and comfortable. I was even driven to Kyoto station once my stay was complete which was a great help. Excellent value for money and a ideal location to see many nearby temples and shrines. Lots of nature sightseeing opportunities close by as well. I highly recommend a stay at Kyo-Anthu Inn!

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

It is friendly, cosy, very helpful staffs. We are very satisfied with the apartment. It is located in a quiet street with traditional houses, but also very convenient. The apartment is spacious. For improvement, we suggest to have a mirror outside the bathroom too.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!

It was incredibly quiet and clean, providing a peaceful environment to relax. Due to a mistake I made, I encountered an issue, but the hotel staff was extremely kind and helpful. They went out of their way to resolve the problem, and I truly appreciated their warm hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

Everything was perfect… Morio and Yoshiko were both really welcoming and generous. They gave us cakes for Christmas and drove us to the station, which was such a big help. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable. There was a very cozy heated table that we absolutely loved. The breakfast was incredible. Different menu every day which gave us the opportunity to try out different food.
