Nice guest house located about one station away from Gion (or a short 15-20 mins wlk). The guest house is also very closely located to the Kiyumizu Temple (10 mins walk). The twin tatami room that we stayed in was nice and averagely sized. However, it was a little bit too cold during winter month. The shower room is located... More

It is a small guest house and it is my first time opted for guest house to stay in. Gojo has English speaking staff so it is easy for us to get info and they are helpful too. Breakfast coupon worth 300 yen can be used for a cup of black coffee or hot tea only, if you need to... More

I had an excellent time staying at Gojo Guest House. The guest house had a very traditional feel to it, in rustic wood, tatami floors, sliding doors, etc. I stayed in the Japanese Twin room and it was by far the biggest room I stayed in on my 5-week trip around Japan. The staff was nice and helpful, though a... More

I met my daughter, who lives in Kurashiki, here for a weekend of sightseeing in Kyoto. Though I wondered how it would feel to stay there as an older single woman, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable right away when I arrived before my daughter. We stayed in the female dorm, which was inexpensive, clean and comfortable, and... More

This is not the best hotel you can find, but the location is convenient, close to Gion area and there are a lot of restaurants close to the guesthouse. The staff is friendly. There is a bar in the hotel were you can have breakfest and chat with the owners or the other guests. Sometimes, it was a little bit... More

I had high hopes for this place on checking in -- cheap and well-located seemed like a good reason to go with a hostel-style lodging and and take my chances on who I'd be sleeping next to. But after waking up at 5 am to find a girl huddled on the floor because there were bugs in her bed, and... More
