M's Hotel Sanjo Wakoku

They speak ENGLISH. It is my first time writing a comment on Booking.com but I just have to tell you how much I liked the place. I stayed in Japan for 4 months but mostly in big cities --> hotels. It was my first time arriving somewhere distant and classic. They are many stories about Japan hospitality but I put them mostly in the fairy tails however, at this inn we were welcomed almost as if we were family members. The owners helped us to plan out next day recommending spots and routs, took care of our needs and helped us with our pains. What I found most amazing was the amount of local sourced and homemade products they used. Overall, I highly recommend the spot for an overnight / 2night stay. It offers comfortable rooms with great design and tasty food. They owners are a definition of Japanese hospitality and if you picture them in the setting of old Japanese town it is kind of a unique experience of Japan that due to tourism was lost in history.

Seemed very new, everything was clean and in good condition. Small room but comfortable and with useful amenities such as kettle, fridge, good wifi, a few coat hangers (otherwise nowhere to unpack your stuff). There was a microwave, water cooler and 2 washing machines (paid) on the ground floor. Great location, near shops and can easily walk to the river and all the temples in the old town. 5 mins walk from Sanjo station. It’s on a quiet road, could hear people every now and again in the corridor but otherwise was quiet and had a great sleep.

For the price, I would say that it is a real bargain for Kyoto. The room is rather spacious and very clean. The location is quite nice. A great choice for a budget traveler who still wants some comfort.

very clean room. good bed, bathroom has sufficient facilities and bath/shower works perfect. Walking in and out with passwords works just fine. location is excellent, public-transport wise and for the tourist spots. washing machine and oven in the shared space.

The facilities and staff are amazing. The room was immaculately clean. The hotel is walking distance to many tourist attractions. The staff also speak English.
