Guest Houses in Soraku District

"We loved staying here for our one night trip in Kyoto. The room itself is clean and its Japanese style room. Shared bathrooms and showers. It doesn’t have elevator so I wouldn’t recommend to stay here if you have heavy luggages and staying for longer duration. "

"We had a great stay! Super clean rooms and very comfy beds. Great communication and a good safe area. Close to trains and grocery store one minute walk away. 10/10 absolutely recommend!"

"Loved that we experienced this. Clean small room, provided us with nightwear and mattress and blankets to sleep on the floor. Station is 8 mine away connecting to tourists sites bamboo forest. Hotel is next to a beautiful temple and is 15mins away from Kyoto station. "

"So lovely. Many cafes to eat and drink. Lobely people. Lovely room such a nice experience."

"Beautiful rooms with a spectacular Japanese garden setting. Staff were excellent. "

"The guesthouse is quite nice, the dorm I stayed in is just 4 bunks, which is a good thing when staying is guesthouses. The showers were very clean for a shared situations. The location is in a charming district near Kyoto university. It can get a little loud at night with the university students drinking in the area, but that wasn’t really a problem if you have earplugs. The proprietor and her family have limited English ability, so be prepared for some mild miscommunications, but they are...

"Overall I would recommend this place. It's a good budget hostel and has everything that you need."

A little further out from some of the main Kyoto tourist spots but that's fitting for the location and Kyoto is very well connected with buses and the subway. Only wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you"

"The place is very convenient,near to Nishiki market. The room is abit small but the toilet size is okay."

"All good. A clean comfortable and very nice place to stay."

"I like that it is perfect for introverts as there is no need to speak to staff really everything is done independently. I did not like that there is absolutely no way of reaching higher floors without having to carry your luggage & of course I got the top floor & had oversized luggage. I think maybe assigning rooms based on luggage would help. However, I assume this may not be possible due to specific room types on specific floors (ie; two beds rooms on floor 2 & single beds in room 3) but other...

"The ryokan was definitely traditional. It was a wonderful experience, and the duvet was the most comfortable thing for the cold winter nights. We used the private open-air bath twice, once with sudden notice. The hotel staff were still happy to accommodate us despite the hour, and they were overall very kind about everything. There is a vending machine right across the street too, which was convenient, and Gojo station was a few blocks away. Overall a lovely experience, despite the older...
