During the peak season, to find a room in Kyoto is difficult enough. Green Gables is not in central part of the city. The staff there hardly provide any service since it is an apartment room rented for a short period instead of a hotel room. But It is cheap, convenient to stay with a bathroom and a kitchen attached to the room, and a bus stop 2-minutes walk away. So, I have nothing to complain.

The staff were very accommodating. Not noisy. No curfew. Close to the bus stop.

The room was a little dull looking inside.

Price, last chance for Kyoto during the peak season.

The elevator was dirty.

Quick response from staff after requesting service.

Excellent price for Kyoto. We waited too late to book for a weekend. Prices were way too high at other locations, so, we took a chance. Apartment style rooms - a lot of space for a Japanese hotel. Right near a bus stop which will take you anywhere in the city. Good bathroom and kitchenette in the room. Tea kettle and a variety of kitchen supplies available from the staff.

The rooms are old and could use renovation. Everything was clean, no bugs, but the linens were old and dingy. The hotel is cared for by a very sweet lady and I think she does the housekeeping herself. At first sight, I was a little concerned about how the weekend would go, but it was overall a pleasant stay - comfortable. I would not reccommend this location for small children who may be crawling on the floor.

We liked it a lot, it gives you really an impression on how a normal old Japanese townhouse is. Of course you cannot expect the comfort of a modern several-stars hotel, it is more like a simple Youth hostel - it has a kitchen, a bath, two toilets, all rather basic standard. I assume you may share it with several people although we had the whole house for ourselves.

Get experience of living in the houses some years ago espeially when no other guests share the house with you
