Pa contre, vieillot pas très propre peu d ustensiles de cuisine. Et surtout aucun contact avec le proprio donc très difficile de faire le check in, aucun mode d emploi pour la cuisine, la ventilation, la machine à laver.

There was a big supermarket nearby and we were able to get most of the things we needed there. The only downside was that house gets really cold in the morning (even in May). Other than that m, it was a great stay! ##### Su Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [hotel MONday Kyoto Karasuma Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-MONday-Kyoto-Karasuma-Dori.h39192199.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto Shijokarasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-Kyoto-Shijokarasuma.h26586944.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyonosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyonosato.h45704342.Hotel-Information) > > [KABIN Koji](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KABIN-Koji.h27077097.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyotoeki-Horikawadori.h3895687.Hotel-Information) > > [No.8 Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-No8-Kyoto.h62969739.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chatelet Inn Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Chateleinkyoto.h96281570.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Kamo-Zen](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kamo-Zen.h27930636.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabitabi Stay Higashiyama](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Tabitabi-Stay-Higashiyama.h44335724.Hotel-Information) > > [Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Randor-Residential-Hotel-Kyoto-Suites.h42442448.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Okura-Kyoto-Okazaki-Bettei.h71993618.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY Mayu Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mayu-Grace-Hotel-Kyoto.h38225038.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Atelier](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Atelier.h16251783.Hotel-Information) > > [Minn Gion](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Minn-Gion.h93523006.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [TSUGU Kyoto Sanjo by THE SHARE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-TSUGU-Kyoto-Sanjo-Hostel.h34432010.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Honkan Takao Sansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momiji-Ya-Honkan-Takaosansou.h15423458.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > > [Rakuro Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-SHARE-HOTELS-RAKURO-Kyoto.h22674935.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Daiwa-Royal-Hotel-Grande-Kyoto.h21918553.Hotel-Information)
