The hotel host Thomas is very hospitable. He was gracious in adding my daughter to the stay last min without any additional cost. He also helped me to arrange for a taxi. Overall, it is just a wonderful experience staying at this quiet neighborhood.

We have booked a triple room with private terrace. To start with positives, it is located conveniently to trains and buses. There were a lot of dining options with good prices, as it is located next to university. The staff was nice and welcoming. It meatched the description in terms of amenities.
On the other hand, with the room itself we were not happy at all. The bathroom was built in to the room, meaning it was quite small and there was a big enough gap between the door and the floor, which meant no privacy. The private terrace led directly to an alley and to a private terrace of another room. The street was quiet and we had no issues but it should be mentioned in the description of the room. We ended up not using it anyway, at it was not cozy or had any view. The room also had quite harsh lighting and there was almost none sound isolation to the other guests. To add, there were almost no storage facilities where you could unpack your luggage. When we checked in and saw the room, we seriously considered to change hotels straight away but it would have been quite pricey, considering it was last minute plus we would have lost the money for the original room. All in all, we strongly advise to avoid this hotel (or possibly this ground floor room, as it seems a lot of people are quite happy according to reviews)…

Hello Anastasia, Thank you for staying we us and for your feedback. We appreciate that you have noted some positives regarding our property. Regarding the room lighting, we have re-equipped the room with a remote control dimmer, so that guests can adjust the lights from the comfort of their beds. And, we have inserted new facilities to hanging your luggage items, and we will continue making efforts to improve our facilities.We wish you all the very best.

Highly recommend! The inn is very cozy and clean and the room we got was very spacious. It is in close proximity to a subway station and bus stop, making commutes via public transit convenient. The staff were also lovely and extremely helpful! We would definitely stay again if we go back to Kyoto!!

Helpful staff. Nice traditional Japanese room, but with a more western bed. Forget about your ordinary hotel when you visit Kyoto.

Very clean property with an attentive staff. Location was great with easy access via walking or bus to many of Kyoto's great attractions. Only issue came with an addition cleaning fee and tax that was assessed. Manager was open to negotiation on this issue, as we were only warned about the tax on Travelocity.

Thank you very much for staying with us at Marikoji Inn Kyoto. Yes, the Kyoto Government have implemented a new accommodation tax, and our partners have us charge it at checkin rather than in advance for certain prepaid reservations. Please come back and stay with us again! Wishing you all the best ! Marikoji Inn Kyoto

The place was tasteful and had everything I needed. In particular there was a microwave oven in the room which I really appreciated. The hosts were super-nice. One the best places I have stayed in Japan over the past 30 years
