Good location with several nearby bus stops. Roomy enough for 2. Good lighting and cooking area. Very good trash collection & towel laundry. Needs a dining table and chairs instead of the very uncomfortable couch-bed as no usable eating spot. The table chairs would be more comfortable to watch TV than that terrible couch. A couple of suitcase racks would be nice. Overall satisfied with apartment as a good value with good staff and location.

A very good Guest House
The receptionists were marvellous. All of them. Specially the young man that I met there on 2 days of my 3 day stay. I was going to Osaka from there; but the typhoon had come and the trains had been cancelled or suspended. He spent so much time to find out for me & then write the directions down, so I can take the normal slow train to Osaka (the bus Nos, the train names, the stations I needed to get off, the landmarks) and I got to near proximity of my Osaka hotel; he even asked me the address of the Osaka hotel so he can tell me which lines to take, to get off the train just near it. He was the most helpful receptionist ever and I have met many many receptions in my travels. He & this guest house topped them all. They have produced a very helpful local map of the buses near them. Thank you for being so helpful. :-)

Best budget-friendly stay in central Kyoto
I stayed a week in Uraraka and I was very happy with the service and with my stay there. After spending the 1st night in smaller room,the staff gave me a more spacious room which was perfect for a solo traveller.Read some reviews before about the location,but it’s actually perfect(I know the city very well).From the bus stop 1 min away from the guest house, there are buses taking you to Arashiyama,Higashiyama,Sanjo/Shijo region, Kinkakuji-basically to most tourist attractions in these areas.there are free bicycles provided and if you need train,JR Nijo is 15 min on foot.Two convenience stores within 3-4 min walk,and a big supermarket with a 100 yen shop also 3-4 min walk.Nijo castle is basically across the street.extra clean rooms,with daily towel change upon request and if you stay longer,they change bedsheets every 3rd day. Staff is English speaking and so,so helpful.Yuji san even stayed with me when my airport shuttle was late,in case I needed to call.Overall,nothing bad-only wonderful experience.

Clean and comfortable
If you want a grand hotel with a big lobby and glitzy bars then this isn't the place for you. If, however, you want reasonably priced, clean, central accommodation with good wi-fi and super helpful staff it is. Other reviewers have remarked on the size of the bathrooms and, while they are certainly small, they're perfectly manageable for a few days. The only negative to our stay was that the wide selection of breads for breakfast didn't include any non-sweet, plain varieties for toasting etc.: if that's the only criticism you can make then you know they're doing pretty well!

Great location (a 10-15 minute walk from Nijo JR station. All of the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and spoke very good English. The breakfast breads were very tasty, and the tea/coffee facilities in the lobby were also handy. The room was very clean and spacious, with comfortable beds (we stayed in a twin room). There is also a large supermarket and a few 7-11s nearby, but it is a while away from the main touristy areas.

This is a great little hotel in a quiet but easily accessible area of kyoto. The choice at breakfast is good and found good views of the sunrise from the balcony. Has everything you could need, the only slight downside is that you could hear many of the noises coming from the floor you are on but i understand that is hard to control.

The staff were most helpful with suggestions of where to eat, on bus passes, using their bicycles and with a bus stop right outside, nothing was too far away. Sadly though, it was very noisy and some of the other guests had no respect for the “quiet times”, which was quiet disappointing. Take ear plugs!!
