Reviews of Kamikatsura House 1 stars

Very clean, very friendly staff.

The location is pretty much OK, 10 minutes walk to bentencho station was not bad,.. but were traveling with erdely on wheelchair so.

distance to the nearest station

Very friendly and accommodating host!

The restaurant 10 mins away by to the hotel

Location quite far but quiet. Receptionist not present at the reception. Bed not comfortable

There was a kitchen where you could cook food, use microwave, fridge, boil water in electric kettle, etc. My room was a good size, but then it was a family room. Also, the property was close to some bike paths near a river. You could rent a bike there

Couldn't get warm water in shower until final morning, but cold shower was rejuvenating. Had to share toilet and shower with other guests.

Everything was great, staff - awesome, room clean, common space - clean, instructions clear.

The neighbourhood, there wasn't much of interest, but a different experience of Japan... For visiting Imperial Villa or catching breath before/after Kyoto - great stay, not sure what else to see around for Internationals

It’s a perfect little hostel-like hotel in Kyoto. I only spent time there to sleep and was out exploring the rest. The staff were very friendly.

It was very cold and I couldn’t figure out how to heat the room. But the blankets were so cozy that I was still warm all night. I didn’t bother asking for help because I wasn’t there much.

I can visit so easy this hotel ,because near Kamikatsura Station and can laundry my clothes. All room are very clean.

nothing. all great.

Location is OK. Nice view. I might have done better with using a bus app (which I never had time to see if it even exists) but I mostly needed to get to Kawaramachi/Shijo area, so I walked the 20 minutes to the Hankyuu train station to get to the central part. Very clean and although several people shared the floor I was on with one bathroom, shower room and kitchen, I never had to wait to do anything I wanted. Spacious room with comfortable large bed.

I arrived exactly at 4:00 p.m. as I told them I would but nobody was there. I made myself comfortable and logged into the wifi which was prominently displayed. I caught up on some e-mail and other work but really could have used my time better because I had other things to do in Kyoto. Finally after 45 minutes I found the phone number from my e-mail and called somebody who was very apologetic, but it still took another 15 minutes for somebody to get there and check me in. They put me in a room, but then quickly asked if I'd like to go to the 4th floor and I assumed it was an upgrade because I had to wait so long. It was fine. Although not directly above the major city street below, the double glass doors kept the noise quite low. The second room also had a very strong fragrance while the first room had none. I was inclined to ask to go back since a find fragrances really affect me a lot but decided against it due to time constraints. I lost an hour waiting, but the stay was comfortable and uneventful otherwise.

Great location near station and restaurants, spacious room, tourist info available at reception
