We really enjoyed our stay at B&B Keiko. Keiko is the best. She is very flexible and helpful. This is a budget type of place which is exactly what we usually need. Someplace safe to shower and sleep as we tend to stay out from morning 'til night while on vacation. Keiko met us at the B&B to explain everything... More

This is a lovely little house right in the centre of Kyoto. It only has two guest rooms (so it will never be overcrowded!), plus a shared living room, bathroom and toilet downstairs. Our room was spacious, clean and overlooked the gorgeous little courtyard garden at the back of the house. The owner, Keiko, is really friendly. She sat down... More

Keiko is very friendly, speaks English very well (the best English speaker we met in Japan) and gave us lots of good temple and food recommendations, and also insights about Japanese culture. The house is simple and lovely. We had it all to ourselves. It was cold in winter (Jan) but there were multiple heaters scattered throughout the house. Slept... More

Keiko's b&b was the perfect place to experience Kyoto. We were fortunate enough to be the only people to book in, so we had the entire place to ourselves! The house is charming, styled perfectly, and comfortable. The living room is traditional down to its low table and cushions to sit on, and the bedroom has futons - I have... More

The BB is nice and clean, the owner (keiko) is very friendly and the house is spacious and full of character. It is located in close to the main attractions in downtown kyoto, so you should be able to walk anywhere you wanna go. Also, follow the directions in the BB's website on how to get there. The directions are... More

Great location in the antiques/art district just minutes away from the main shopping arcade in Kyoto. The guest house is walking distance to all the great things that Kyoto has to offer and around 1,000 yen in a taxi to the station. The bus stop is also just next door. Keiko is really nice and house is an awesome slice... More

My partner and I stayed at Keiko B&B and had a great time exploring Kyoto during 4 days. Its location is very close to the city centre so we visited most sites on foot. Our room was spacious and had excellent air conditioning which we very much needed in September. The B&B was very clean and quiet as well. Keiko... More

After staying in Tokyo - I was heading to Kyoto. And after seeing the good reivews of the B&B Keiko's Ryokan I decided to stay there. And that was the right decision. It's not big, fancy or modern. But it's cosy, old fashioned and very homely. For me, it was the essence of living at a Ryokan to experience to... More

Staying at B&B Keiko for 3 nights in Kyoto made my trip so much more memorable! No joke. I hurried to Keiko's place right after arriving at KIX, being my first solo trip, I felt everything was so rushed and overwhelming, and even when my taxi arrived at B&B Keiko I still found myself a little lost. But Keiko came... More

This is a second time we stayed in B&B Keiko. This review is for downtown B&B and we stayed there for 6 nights in Nov 2011 with our 8 year old daughter. The price comes with breakfast at the nearby ShinShinDo cafe. It's a traditional Japanese house with the comfort of modern toilet and fairly traditional bathroom. There are 2... More
