We loved our stay here - everything was clean, comfortable beds including the sofa bed in the tatami area. The free breakfast was a bonus before we headed out for the day. The staff were welcoming and helpful especially when we used luggage transfer service. Great location, close to the bus and walking distance to ninenzaka and kiyomizu-dera temple. Our first day here it rained and they had umbrellas we could borrow which was great as we had not brought our own. Highly recommend a stay here!

I stayed in the private 3 bed room. It was a little small for our luggage but I knew that booking it. This was our second stay here and we loved it once again. The location is amazing, the property is clean, the showers are spacious. They even have a foot massager! The staff is incredible! They helped handwrite the shipping address for our luggage that we were having deliver to our next stop. When the delivery company contacted them that our destination could not receive our luggage, they coordinated a different drop off point with us even if we had already checked out. Truly amazing service!

A super quiet and comfy accommodation, well-situated just a 2-minute walk from the train station with several bus stops nearby. Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, providing us with a wealth of information to make the most of our vacation. As an added bonus, the Kyoto Railway Museum is only a 2-minute walk away.

Tani house is a guest house with a great and quite long history. Tani San is a charming lady, who keeps house in a very good condition. She kindly hosted us in her cozy place. And next morning provided us with delicious and generous breakfast. We are grateful for that expiration. Wish Tani San be well, healthy and fool of energy for continuing her work.

Very nice host who gives you great recommendations for your stay. The guesthouse is located in a quieter area, but you can still get everywhere very easily. Ideal for travelers looking for some peace and quiet. The small garden is very nice

Delightful place to stay with wooden interior and all the facilities you could ask for from a hostel. There is a decent kitchen (which you don't always see), a nice area to hang out and the beds are comfy. What's more, it is located in Gion, which is very charming and also quiet at night.

We booked with the Guest House Abiya for 3 nights, such a lovely cozy house! All services included, kitchen, shower, washing machine, umbrellas that were very useful for the rainy day, air-conditioning. The place becomes very quiet at night. The location is great, close to Pontocho neighbour, The Imperial Palace, lots of transport. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. We'd definitely come back here next time too. Big thanks
