Very clean, cozy and comfortable place. The hosts always made sure we had mineral water in our room, and new towels everyday, even if we never asked for it.

This was my second time here. The hosts of this family-run small inn are so welcoming and helpful, and the rooms are really comfortable. The location is close to many major sights (museums, temples) and right around the corner from a train station if you want to go farther.

I had a private room with futon and the bathroom was shared, but bathrooms are so clean that it wasn’t a problem at all! Also there’s everything you need, towels, soap, shampoo etc. there are also some snacks in the common room:) last thing, position is great as well!

My room was clean and warm, and the space was cozy for an overnight stay. Very quiet.There’s also a bus stop nearby, and the hotel is located in a picturesque area, close to many temples and the Philosopher's Path. What impressed me the most was their garden, which is in a different building about a 10-minute walk away—it’s incredible! However, I spent a long time looking for the location at first, so I recommend checking it on Google Maps right away. Thank you!
