Liked: Cleanliness
The room was of a decent size. However, the bathroom was too small. I had to be careful so I wouldn't hit my head on the ceiling when taking a shower. Also, the room is not soundproof at all. We stayed 4 nights, and each morning, we woke up with the noises from other rooms or the reception before 8 AM.

It was really nice for a single room at that price and I had a great view from my room. The staff were very helpful and I loved being able to get the city bus from right outside. There was a bit of noise but earplugs are a must have for travelling at this budget ❤️

Good location with several nearby bus stops. Roomy enough for 2. Good lighting and cooking area. Very good trash collection & towel laundry. Needs a dining table and chairs instead of the very uncomfortable couch-bed as no usable eating spot. The table chairs would be more comfortable to watch TV than that terrible couch. A couple of suitcase racks would be nice. Overall satisfied with apartment as a good value with good staff and location.

Uraraka was the perfect base for my exploration of Kyoto. The room was small but clean and had had everything I needed. At the price, it was fantastic value. There were plenty of dining options nearby and it was close to public transport. The manager was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. Highly recommended.

A very good Guest House

The receptionists were marvellous. All of them. Specially the young man that I met there on 2 days of my 3 day stay. I was going to Osaka from there; but the typhoon had come and the trains had been cancelled or suspended. He spent so much time to find out for me & then write the directions down, so I can take the normal slow train to Osaka (the bus Nos, the train names, the stations I needed to get off, the landmarks) and I got to near proximity of my Osaka hotel; he even asked me the address of the Osaka hotel so he can tell me which lines to take, to get off the train just near it. He was the most helpful receptionist ever and I have met many many receptions in my travels. He & this guest house topped them all. They have produced a very helpful local map of the buses near them. Thank you for being so helpful. :-)
