Private shower and toilets. They have a washing machine but no dryer so take it into account if you are staying only one night like me. Staff was nice too. ##### Amelie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner is incredible! I lost my passport at a shrine, she was able to get in touch with the police and have it returned to me. The rooms are very clean and nice, and the hotel is a few minutes walk to a train station. ##### Adam Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santiago Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely lovely! I totally recommend Samurai Hills to stay in Kyoto. The best was the staff: extremely friendly and helpful. ##### Santiago Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thi Kim Cuong Dec 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was awesome. The lady was super supportive when I needed to check in early and check out early and left my luggage with her. Room was clean. It's small, but I find it spacious enough for a solo traveler unless you have too much luggage. The shared area has everything you may need - iron, hair dryer, body mirror, scale (if you need to weigh your luggage), kitchen, fridge. I even found plastic bags prepared. I guess it's for guests to use cos' you definitely need to bring your own bags for trash in Japan. Well, literally, the place has everything I can think of. Good location with bus/trains to airport, downtown, and areas I visited during my stay. Will return if I take another solo trip to Kyoto. ##### Thi Kim Cuong Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soumyadeep Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay near Arashiyama. Walkable distance to JR Uzumasa station and some Randen station I forgot the name. The hotel is overall very clean with all required facilities. Given the price, it was a no brainer. The lady was really nice and kind and helped with every requirement, despite not understanding English. ##### Soumyadeep Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing, to be honest It was a small inn- with a common area for night snacks and stuff... and you get yourself a little comfy room again, do not expect a large room but rather japanese standard room size ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Glen Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Convenient location near the station. A lovely owner. Not for fussy people but if you’re just after a cheap place with a bed and shower etc then it’s a fine place. Basic but comfortable enough ##### Glen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amine Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolute class act. One of the best hotels I have stayed at, especially for the price point. Room came with a bidet and an in-suite shower. Absolute godsend for my needs and was close to a convenience store, laundromat, and other businesses. Train station was less than a 5 minute walk. Amenities were perfect and covered every possible need. Safe to say this is the best hotel in Kyoto. ##### Amine Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you wanna stay away from the caravans of tourists. That's your spot! Nice, clean and with a good soul. Fresh rooms. Maybe a bit loud from the passing train signal near by. But for me was it a good choice. No clear glas Windows. Trainstations from JR and the Tram. You will be fast in the Bamboo Groove and Kyōto Station. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay ##### Jacob Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haoming Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect! The hostess was really nice and friendly. Even though we talked by Google Translate most of the time, she was very patient and polite. Also, you definitely won’t find any other hotel with this price and comfort. It’s so much better than my previous experience at another Kyoto 3 star hotel. Will definitely stay again in the future!!! ##### Haoming Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place with a very caring landlord Amazing place, super clean and I think newly renovated.
