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.

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!

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.

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.

Thanks for looking after us

Our trip got postponed due to a typhoon. However, the communication from the staff was excellent. They reassured us and processed refund even before I asked for it. Super helpful! The property was comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was good.

口コミを見て，このホテルに決めました。 いざ宿泊したら，凄く静かで，部屋も丁度いい大きさで，寝心地も良くて，凄くゆっくり出来ました。 キッチンもあって，近くの100円ローソンで買い物に行けば料理も出来るし，レンジもあるし，普通に住めます。 また洗濯機があり洗剤もあるので，夜のうちに洗濯も出来て干せるので，凄く助かりました。 次に京都に遊びに来る時も，ここに泊まりたいと思いました。
