Good experience !
I stayed at Suzuki Guesthouse for three nights while visiting Kyoto. The staff is kind and help you as much as possible for any demand! There are a few nearby activities that will liven up your experience, and it's easy to get anywhere in Kyoto from Suzuki Guesthouse. Beds are very comfortable. Living room is welcoming. I will stay here again next time. Thank you for everything!

Great hostel run by great people
stayed for 4 nights at the suzuki guest house. Better than average for a traveler's hostel; Some snores and alarms will be heard, but that is to be expected. The couple that runs this place are extremely nice and really want to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Bicycle rentals on-site were extremely appreciated, and made getting to/around town convenient.

Great place to stay!
I have been traveling for almost a year and this is one of the best places I have stayed. The owners were really friendly and offered lots of good advice. The wifi was a lot better than I get at home and the bathroom facilities were always really clean. Not much more that I could have expected from this place!

Awesome Guesthouse
This place is really well situated in Kyoto and the owners are very kind and helpful. The front desk hours are limited but if you're coming in late they will stay up for you if you let them know. They have maps, bikes, and city bus passes available and can point you toward good local food. Overall an excellent guesthouse and when I return to Kyoto someday I will definitely stay here again.

A MUST GO AT KYOTO
A very good guesthouse! Some people may have opinion on the location, I'm perfectly all right with it. The owners, Mr Suzuki & wife are super friendly + helpful. The map they provide is very helpful for touring around Kyoto. Kyoto is a place good to tour around by bus, and this place is just in the vicinity of all bus stands. Many restaurants + convenient stores around too. The dorm style bed is very comfortable - I don't feel like waking up xD The common space is large, and all you need are available. Please, pay them a visit if you ever visit Kyoto!

Warm and family-like guesthouse!
I fully enjoyed my time at Suzuki Guesthouse in Kyoto. I was supposed to stay only 2 nights and decided to stay an extra night because I loved the place so much. The guesthouse is pretty much right next to Nijo-jo and it's conveniently located near a bus stop and many good restaurants. Also the facility is extremely clean. Best of all, the staff (Suzuki and Koori) are very nice and attentative. They will do their best to help you with anything you need. Don't hesitate to book this place!

최고!
호텔의 위치는 교토역이나 가와라마치 근처에서 어느 정도 떨어져있으나 오히려 그 점이 훨씬 좋았습니다. 버스타고 다니면서 여기저기 구석구석 다니는 느낌이 좋았어요. 근처 버스 정류장의 위치와 목적지, 주변의 맛있는 밥집,술집까지 자체적으로 만든 지도로 체크인 할 때 다 알려줍니다. 참고로 게스트하우스에서 제공하는 지도의 밥집에 두 군데 정도 가봤는데 정말 맛있었습니다. 도미토리 시설도 잘 되어있고, 샤워실도 청결하고 넓어요. 그리고 스텝분들 정말 친절합니다. 너무 편하게 지내다 왔어요~ 앞으로 또 갈 의사 100프로입니다.

特に目立って良い点・悪い点はありませんでしたが、シャワールーム、トイレ、ベッド全て清潔で、部屋には貴重品入れもあり安心でした。 周辺にはコンビニや居酒屋などが数軒ありますがどこもイマイチなので、京都らしいものや少しいいものを食べたいのであれば街中で食べた方がよいかと思います。

リーズナブルで綺麗なゲストハウス
少し駅から離れていますが、近くにコンビニやスーパーもあり立地は十分です。また、設備はどれも写真通り綺麗でスタッフも良い方達な良いゲストハウスです。お値段も安いので学生の一人旅にはもってこいでした。ロビーに一本150円のビールが置いてあるのが個人的には最高でした。また京都に行く時には是非利用したいと思っています。

Okay hostel
Okay hostel - det er ret lille, men dertil også det mere hyggeligt. Der er gardiner ved sengene, så man kan have lidt privatliv selvom der er mange senge i sovesalen.

清潔なゲストハウス
もともと呉服屋さんだった建物を改装されたそうです。 和のテイストが心地よく、感じられました。ゲストハウスなので過度な設備はありません。けれど細かな気配りが随所に見られました。 パブリックスペースで流れる音楽、ギターが置いてるのも高評価です。

Underbara värdar
Värdarna/ägarna är väldigt sociala och trevliga! De gav mig verkligen en trevlig vistelse. Jag var där i februari och det var rätt kallt på rummen eftersom fönstren var öppna under dagarna. Men med ac:n på i en timme blev det behagligt. Det finns micro, bestick, kyl, te och kaffe men inget kök. Lokalerna var fina och enkla. Det finns en dator att låna samt tv-spel. Läget var okej. Det tog ungefär 20 minuter med buss till Kyoto-station. I sin helhet tyckte jag väldigt mycket om min vistelse pga värdparets engagemang för gästerna!

十分給力的老闆娘
鄰近二條城與巴士站。入住時會提供一張附近的地圖以及通往各個景點的乘車方案。旅店內就原價出售京都一日乘車券,不用特意去地鐵站買,也出租自行車,還可以借傘。可以和老闆娘商量行程,她會提供非常有幫助的出行建議,甚至幫你查去其他地方怎麼坐車最方便。 老闆娘通中文,老闆英文不錯,不過在信息提供方面不如老闆娘。
