M's Inn Higashiyama

Conveniently located in the heart of Higashiyami District. We were able to walk to the major attractions we had in our itinerary as well as explore the area's gems. The facilities in the accomodation were good - although the kitchenette didn't provide utensils for us to use. We made use of the washing machine quite a bit, although the dryer function of the washing machine wasn't working well, the bathroom did have a function that allowed us to dry our clothes well overnight. So useful.

The room was splendid! It was a big room (bigger than what I was expecting), the amenities were all there, the washing machine is easy to use + the ventilation that can heat and dry our clothes. Despite we rarely see the staffs, the check-in and check-out process were smooth using the machine. The location is within 1.5 km radius of great places in Kyoto, both for shopping and for sightseeing. So, if you like to walk around you can surely enjoy lots of things!

Great room. Benefit of having a sizable lounge room and plenty of space. Not your usual Japanese room. Has a washing machine/dryer (but takes 8hrs to do 1xwash). HAs a microwave oven and kettle. Nice and spacious so you can relax. Great spot close to temples and 30 min walk to Kiyomizu dera and 7 min walk to the middle of Gion. We saw some Geisha, just around the corner, on our evening stroll for dinner one evening. Just out of the blue, amazing. Will definitely look at staying again if we return.

Good sized rooms. Plenty of room for 3 futons on the floor for our kids. Loved the fact it had a washing machine. Code for the door meant no chance of losing keys or keycards. Close to Gion district for exploring the old town, but far enough away to be quiet. 5 min walk to a 7-11 and 10 min walk to train station. 20 min walk in to shopping district.

The room is very spacious compared to others we stayed in in Japan. The tatami floor is a bonus. The provision of washing machine in our room is a bonus, with complimentary detergent. The member of staff, Nicole (I presumed she is one of the chambermaids) has been very helpful in getting us going with the washing machine. She was also very helpful during our check-out when no one at the reception is available. However, the guy at the reception desk on the night of 30th October has been very helpful in advising and assuring us of our problem of early check out and late check-in on the 31st of October. Unfortunately, we forgot to ask his name.
