Great place to stay! Excellent location, lovely rooms and very helpful staff. The staff were very friendly and helped where we needed. The futons were great. Bathrooms were excellent and the laundry facilities very helpful. Terrific place to stay in Kyoto. Very close to convenience stores, restaurants, shops and transport.

Our stay at Kyo Anthu Inn was wonderful! Emiko and her family were amazing, Emiko made us feel comfortable at all times and ensured everything was perfect for us. The breakfast was also fantastic. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Really clean with lovely decor, good facilities and Wifi. Traditional Japanese breakfast can be served if you wish. Beds were very cosy and comfortable with curtains for privacy. The accommodation doesn’t hold a lot of people so you get to know almost everyone if you stay a few days which made it feel like a home away from home. A massive thank-you to Ikumi and Toni who made staying here so wonderful. They’re happy to share their recommendations for food and sightseeing, which were all great. I loved the fact that most eateries they suggested were local spots so not touristy at all. They’re really friendly and warm people and I couldn’t ask for anything more from them as hosts.

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

Was very spacious for our family of 5. Had everything we needed. Short walk to a Metro station and bus stop - so easy to get around. Nice and clean. Staff were lovely and they were happy to store our luggage on checkout day as we had things booked in before our train out of Kyoto. Would definitely book this again if I travel back to Kyoto.
