Everything was excellent. The best thing for me was trains and bus stations were nearby and walkable. Staff was very nice as well and everything was clean.

The owner is very nice, but the reviews stating that there is a weird smell are not exaggerated.

Nice and clean guesthouse
Posted 15 Apr 2018 on HotelsThe staff at the guesthouse were great to help with any questions. This guesthouse it a bit different than most others in that it doesn’t have a lounge area to hang out and meet other guests. The location is very convenient for the train station and local attractions.

Wonderful small hotel in a great location in Kyoto
Posted 2 Apr 2018
Pros: Clean, friendly staff, onsite laundry.
Cons: Nothing! It was great!
Location: Walking distance to Kyoto station (maybe 1km), walking distance to Shijo-dori (shopping and bars and food).
We loved this place! Very small and quaint, maybe about 8 rooms total? The place was very clean - almost immaculate. The staff was wonderful. It has everything you need in Kyoto, including being very close to Kyoto station! Would 100% stay again.
Thanks!

The room is very dirty and small
Posted 13 Nov 2017This is not a hotel or hostel. It is just a house, and owner divided into many small rooms. Unfortunately, the room was very small and dirty. The bed was also very dirty too. Pillows were so hard, and the most terrible thing is that the smell of the room was so bad. I can not sleep all night and feel very tired next day.

Great Location
Posted 27 Apr 2017 on HotelsGreat Location
just 2 bus stop away from Kyoto Station.
basically u can go anywhere to nearby attraction using this Bus Route.
I recomending Buy 1 day Pass and Extra passes for all remaining days. Great to be able to connect all location with Kyoto City Bus route.
This BJ Family House is Clean and Secured. its in centre of Kyoto City. Great place if u want connect Kyoto with other region area.
Owner/Staff is Friendly and able to speak English.
Tips: If u dont want to ride Bus. u can just walk from Kyoto Station to here. just 10min easy walking (just 3 traffic light streets)
On late night still have street light and you can walking.
recomended place.

Decent Stay
Posted 4 Jan 2017 on HotelsIts not the easiest place to find but its a good spot to stay. A friend and I shared a single room with a bunk bed (2 beds) for 1 night. Everything for the most part was self service because during our time there was no one on staff each day. They left the keys for us and provided all info for getting in and out of the building. Multiple bathrooms and showers. Id stay again now knowing how to get there and what to expect.
