My K House

룸컨디션 너무 좋았습니다

I absolutely adored my stay at My K House. I'm going to go over my (very few) minor issues off the bat because the rest of this review will be glowing. My safe was closed/locked when I arrived, and every time I bumped or moved it the alarm went off for about a minute, an annoyance but not a trip ruining experience. The WiFi was also very slow, almost unusable at times, on certain sites (like Google Maps). Last tiny gripe is that the heating zone is only in the main area so if you have the kitchen/bathroom slider shut it can get very cold in there in the winter. That all aside, this place was AMAZING. A fantastic mix of traditional Japanese lodging with western touches. Washer/Dryer combo in the room (dryer takes a bit but works), fantastic shower/bathroom with separate vanity and toilet. Tatami floors and very cozy. It backs out to a very quiet one way alley and sits over a very cozy bar on site. Check-in is down the road (1.5 or so blocks) but on check-in they walked me down and explained the property. Keyed entry for main/elevator/room for safety but the part of town it is couldn't be safer. Comfy beds, amazing Japanese style robes. I stayed 5 nights over Christmas and loved every one of them. Very walkable to two train stations, Nishiki Market, Gion, and a lot of Kyoto within 15-20 minutes. The only thing I'd note is that if you speak next to zero Japanese this is just off the main tourist areas and is more traditional, so learn some basic words to help a ton!

Excellent location. Easy walk to river, great dining restaurants and shops. Reception was very friendly. Easy check in- check out. Highly recommend it.

I stayed at My K House for three days on a work trip. It was exactly what I wanted: someplace to unwind at the end of the day, that felt like I was in Kyoto. The room was attractive and well-designed and I liked the balcony. It's maybe four blocks to the subway, but the bus to Kyoto station stops one block away. The street is quiet (see below) but there are plenty of restaurants nearby and you can walk to a major shopping area. The shower had amazing water pressure and there was a washing machine in the suite! Be aware that the rooms are modified tatami mat style, so there are elevated beds but no desk and no chairs except on the balcony. Some non-Japanese people might find this uncomfortable. Also, there was no one staffing the front desk at the time of my stay. Check-in is at a nearby hotel owned by the same people and then you let yourself in when you come and go, so it felt more like a vacation rental than a hotel. I was fine with that, but if you tend to rely on lobby staff for services and advice, then maybe stay at their other property. There is also no breakfast, so you'll want to stock the kitchen for those jet-lagged early mornings. My only complaint was -- surprisingly -- noise. And it's coming from the hotel. The lobby is essentially a bar, open in the evenings. The music is relatively quiet, but the front is open to the street and there were lots of loud conversations well past midnight. In the winter this probably wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Loved staying at my K house. The room is beautiful and super clean. Reception was there with an English speaker when we arrived. Great location near lots of restaurants and a lot of shopping. Near the Gion area. Would highly recommend

Our unit 402 was very clean and well arranged. The unit seem to have had a recent upgrade. The rest room was the best of the three hotels we visited in Japan. The decore was a very pleasant modern asian. The view from the balcony was fabulous. I wish I could down load a picture for you!

Very nice stay experience, room very new and clean, balcony have a nice view, I will choose again in next time.

Great location and great facility for staying especially if you want to cook for yourself. Quiet and amazing view. Will be back.

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at hands down! If anyone I know ever comes to Kyoto, I’m telling them to stay at My K House. Thanks for having me.
