カーテンもなく、プライベート空間がないため、くつろげなかった。 シャワー室が一つしかなく、順番を待つのに時間がかかった。 寒い日だったので、暖房が入っていました。私は上段で丁度良かったのですが、下に降りた時にヒンヤリしたので、下段は寒かったのではないかと思った。 上段は朝日が入ってきました。 カーテンが薄く眩しかったので、5時位に目が覚めました。

중심 역은 아니라 힘들 수 있지만 그리고 약에서 찾아가기 처음엔 헤맸지만ㅋㅋㅋ 숙소의 분위기가 정말 좋았어요! 나무 삐걱거리는 소리 게다가 비가 와서 비냄새까지 잘 어울려서 좋았습니다 숙소가 약간 미로같기도 했고 방은 정말 정말 따뜻하지만 복도는 살짝 추운..? 직원 분도 친절하시고 짐도 침대 앞까지 갖다 놔주셨고 정말 좋았습니다 :D

老房屋非常有趣，但是廁所衛浴各只有一間，要等很久；床上並不乾淨，（不確定床單有沒有更換）有床蝨或是某種會咬人的蟲，從住了之後就跟上我，癢了好幾天了，一直在咬我，非常困擾

혼자와서 저렴하게 자고 가기에 딱 좋습니다.
일단 가격이 너무 싸서 혼자와서 잠자고 가기에 정말 좋았습니다. 세면시설이 좁고 시설이 낡긴하지만(난방 리모컨 조종이 잘 안 되는 문제) 개선해가면 될 듯 하고요. 이용안내 문구를 좀 더 잘 보이도록 해주시면 더욱 좋을 듯 합니다.

Quite nice experience
A good place to make friends and to experience Japanese culture The price is also amazing! The room is clean and cozy also. However, it is about 10~15mins far away from subway. If you take heavy luggage, there might be little inconvenient. The disadvantages could be overcome by bus system once you get used to the bus system in Kyoto--that is, you have to pay another bus fee. All in all, I like this place and would consider to live here next time I visit Kyoto

大徳寺付近の町家改造型ゲストハウス
年に一度の大徳寺の曝涼（お宝物の掛け軸の虫干し）を見に行くために滞在しました。 大徳寺に朝からアクセスするため、という目的から言えば、徒歩10分のロケーションは良かったです。 ただ、この宿へのアクセス自体は決して交通至便とは言えませんし、近所もほんとに普通の住宅地ですから、ご自分の旅行目的に合うかどうかよく考えてから滞在を決めたほうが良いでしょう。表通りの一本裏側にのれんがかかった入り口で、予想よりもこぢんまりしていました。 宿は昔ながらの町家をゲストハウスに用途変更したものですが、部屋の間取りが迷路のよう、床の高低変化が激しいなど、かなりクセのある出来上がりで、そういうものを楽しめる人には良いと思います。ただ、防音は無きに等しいです。 宿の主さんは長髪で口数少なく、あまりフレンドリーではありませんが、荷物預かりなど必要なサービスはやってくれたので不満はありません。 個人的には可もなく不可もなく、このお値段ならリーゾナブルだなという感想でした。
