Guesthouse Hana Nishijin

The owners are so nice. The accommodation is super clean and comfortable. Everything is so neat. With the traditional Japanese style rennovation, it feels like we are living in a Japanese home. It is a great experience for my family!!

You can't find anything wrong!

Try to get room Ume at the downstair, there is a beautiful garden comes with it! the owner is very nice and explained everything.

very close to the temples north west of the city. however a bit far from the city center (~40 min to Kyoto station by bus)

Hana is amazing! Heritage, kindness and service. Very well located to spot Geishas but Kyoto is enourmous and the temples are not close. As for the stay thanks to Hana and her 100 year old traditional house it was really nice. Even offers coffee and tea , bread and butter to have a small snack. Too bad some other guests take advantage of that and eat everything abusing their portions. But no complain about the place!

Location is perfect as is in between different areas of interest in Kyoto. The neighbourhood is quiet and beautiful, surrounded by temples, shrines and geisha houses. Futons were super comfy and warm and the host is very friendly. Complimentary breakfast and drinks are available in the living room and you can take the property bikes for a ride for free. It was a beautiful stay.

Nothing, all was great.

We stayed here for our entire week in Kyoto. We had such a friendly and kind welcome from the owners. Lovely to have tea/coffee and toast provided. The guesthouse was like staying in a genuine, small Japanese home, everything was authentic in a pleasant suburban neighbourhood - kids being greeted going into school, local shops and restaurants etc. The house and room was very clean and peaceful and we had everything we needed. We were even given a lift by the owner to Nishiki Market one day and to Nijo Castle another day which was very kind. There are geisha houses in the next street and I loved walking to the temple yards away in the mornings. There is a 7/11 shop and we were able to catch buses to everywhere at the bus stop around the corner. We did catch buses to the sights most days as we did so much walking whilst sight-seeing our legs and feet ached! We had a lovely stay thank you.

Because my son is a fussy eater and vegetarian it was sometimes difficult eating out all the time, and we couldn't cook very easily so self catering apartment may have been easier for us but there is a toaster and a microwave
