Mr Moriyo and his partner were amazing hosts. They were super kind to provide us with a temple ticket for free and had given good attention to the details including having our tea ready for the check-in and through out our stay. Breakfast was exceptionally good! They helped us make reservations and gave the attention needed when I was desperately in need of their help.

The host was so lovely and went out of her way to recommend places, even calling to make dinner reservations on my behalf. I wouldn’t have enjoyed Kyoto nearly as much if i had stayed anywhere else! Thank you!

Guesthouse KYOTO COMPASS, hotel in Kyoto

Located in Kyoto, this traditional Japanese guest house features free Wi-Fi and a free public computer. Shichijo Onmae bus stop is 3 minutes’ walk away.

Our family like the unique experience of staying in a traditional japanese wooden house with some hidden ninja-like sliding doors. Although the house looked old, the amenities inside the house are modern. The toilet is advanced Japanese toilet and our bedroom is equipped with new airco, adjustable led light and air purifier. The bed is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Each bed is also equipped with own curtain for privacy. Our host, Mama and Papa treat us like family during our whole stay. We really enjoyed sharing our travel journey and life stories with each other. All in all, we really felt at home at Compass guesthouse.

    Everything we needed in a quiet neighbourhood. Modern and well equipped apartment with comfortable beds. Non-touristy area. Charming back pathway well away from cars and noise but short walking distance to a local grocery store, cafe's and the train station. Really great central location for day trips around Kyoto. Lovely hosts. Great value.

    The room was small but really nice, and nice experience. The showers/toilets were great (female only floor). It was cheap for the great location and some privacy (over a hostel).

    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.

    It is a family run b&b with taking good care by the hosts who have put years of energy and passion into making this place so cozy, beautiful and feel at home. Breakfast comes with home-made everything which is delicate, delicious and satisfying. Great location with quiet and chill neighbourhood which is only 5mins walk from the station and close to city centre. So grateful we have chosen this place to stay.
