Gojo Guest House Annex

Best place in town. The staff is welcoming and always happy to help you, the place is cozy and affordable, well served with bus routes and with a lot of landmarks very close by. My to go place whenever we can.

“Comfort & Cosy single room to feel real Kyoto” Location is near Kiyomizu dera where is the best place to feel real Kyoto and must try to go Sentou (public bath) around the guest house. Room is compact & cosy and sharing spaces are also clean & comfortable to use. Highly recommended accommodation for solitary traveler.

Absolutely love this Airbnb. Located in the quiet neighbourhood of Gion. Walking distance to many quiet valleys and shrines. The room was spacious and the futon was really comfortable. Also love the kitchen which was well stocked and convenient. There’s a local grocery (Happy Rokuhara) nearby that’s within walking distance. The staffs were very helpful and accommodative and gave many good advices on local eats and places to visit. Would love to stay here again if we come back to Kyoto. The only downside - quite a distance to Kawaramachi (if you choose to walk). If you have a lot of luggage, a little distance to lug around your luggage to the nearest train station.

Very cute guesthouse in Gion. The staff were lovely and really helpful! It was a bit cold (especially in the bathroom) but any place would be in the middle of winter. We stayed in a twin futon room and it was very big and futons were comfortable. Perfect for two travellers! Very walkable to nearby shrines and big shopping areas. It's located right in Gion which means you'll have a great time wandering around and admiring all the beautiful architecture and houses. You can use the kitchen which is well stocked with plates cutlery etc. 711 is right around the corner as well as some other restaurants. Loved having the opportunity to stay in a very authentic house like this and meet some new people.

To our surprise our room had bunk beds and not a double one, so check before booking. In any case the guest house has a nice atmosphere, basic but very clean and good position. We went during winter and it was very cold, the room had warm air system, warm blankets. If you are looking for maximum comfort, not your place. The common areas and kitchen are nice, fit the Kyoto vibes. All in all it was a fun adventure, good value for money.

I can highly recommend this hostel/guesthouse. We stayed in a Japanese style room (tatami room), which was really nice. The staff is very friendly and helped us a lot. The bathroom is very clean and they even offer free shower gel, shampoo and some other supplies like hairdryer, q-tips etc. they offer a washing machine and a dryer for little fee. Furthermore you'll find a communal kitchen and a small hang out area. The location of the guesthouse is very convenient as well. It'll take you 15 minutes by walk to go to downtown Kyoto. Furthermore there are several temples you can reach by foot. Nearby you'll find a bus station with different lines; so you will reach all the temples and and sights of Kyoto. Check-in and check-out was very easy as well. We really enjoyed our stay at the gojo guesthouse annex.

This is a great hostel in probably the best area of Kyoto. Our reception was really welcoming and the place is really clean and authentic. Note that this is an old style building which means that there is no sound proofing between rooms or even floors. Just knowing this will temper your expectations appropriately. The staffs recommendations were very on point!

Comfortable, traditional sleeping arrangements. The guest house offers friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. The walls are thin, so be kind to your neighbors and be aware of the noise you make. The bathrooms are in the basement, which is a drawback for those late night bathroom breaks. Overall, I would stay here again. It is in the perfect locations, and I really have no big complaints. Breakfast can be had for a reasonable price at the original GOJO Guest House (about a 10 minute walk away).
