This was by far our favourite accommodation in Japan. The manager was amazing and the accommodation was spacious, traditional but will all of the modern facilities. We loved it and wished we had spent more time here. In fact, once we moved to Osaka, we travelled back twice to spend time in this area and a little town called Sanjo.

The Family Inn Kei was close walking distance to a few excellent temples and shrines. For public transportation, bus service is minutes away, Tokufuji Stn (next to Family Mart convenience store) JR and Main subway system is a short walk (under 10 minutes) and Kyoto Station less than a 15 minute walk away. Lawson's convenience store is just a minute or two walk! Not too central for many restaurants, but we used the microwave for most dinners.

Great find!

This is a great place at a reasonable price. It was nice to have three beds and was plenty of space for three adults. The washing machine was very useful and the balcony was the perfect place to hang our clothes. The staff are amazing!

Neat but small.

The property is nearly new. It is only 5 minutes walk to the bus stop and 15 minutes from Kyoto station. Everything was clean and perfect except room spaces. We are a family of 4 adults and it was really small for us. There is a small kitchen but no place to sit, no table. It is good for sleeping only.

Excellent place. Would visit again.

It's an excellent place to stay, especially if you like a little extra room. It is basically a fully furnished small apartment. The room was furnished with separate bathroom and toilet and a kitchenette including a fridge, microwave and an IH. There was an washing machine with laundry detergent provided. The building is new and the in room facilities were truly excellent. The owner was very helpful during the stay.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. L'hôtel est très propre et calme et bien situé par rapport aux deux lignes de métro. Nous avons pu rayonner sur tous les sites de visite depuis l'hôtel. Nous étions 2 adultes avec deux adolescentes de 12 et 14 ans et c'était suffisant. Merci au staff d'avoir organisé l'arrivée et l'expédition de nos valises.
