          The breakfast at this place was fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh fruits to choose from. The location was also very convenient, close to the nearest subway station and within walking distance to popular attractions. Additionally, the staff here were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home during our stay.

          The only downside I can think of is that knowing our stay at this place was likely the best experience of our entire holiday made it bittersweet to leave. Such an amazing place, it's hard to top!

          I got great value for my money at Guest House Ga-Jyun. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location was convenient with easy access to public transportation. The staff treated me with exceptional kindness and their English skills were impressive.

          The food for breakfast could be improved with more variety.

          We had a fantastic stay at Guest House Ga-Jyun! The location was perfect, with the major temples just a short walk away. The apartment was spacious and incredibly clean, with all the necessary amenities. The staff were so helpful and spoke English, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast provided was delicious, with a variety of options including coffee, fruits, and sweet bread. The high-speed cooker in the kitchen was a bonus. We also appreciated the speedy Wi-Fi in our room. Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as a complicated wardrobe and no cleaning service during our stay, the overall experience was amazing. We highly recommend staying at Guest House Ga-Jyun for a comfortable and convenient stay in Kyoto.

          During our recent stay at Guest House Ga-Jyun, we had an incredible experience. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to assist us with any questions or concerns we had. The complimentary breakfast provided was delicious and satisfying. Additionally, the Friday night party hosted by the hostel was a highlight of our trip. The location of the hostel was convenient, with easy access to local buses and many nearby sightseeing spots. we highly recommend Guest House Ga-Jyun for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Kyoto.

          The breakfast provided at the hotel was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The location of the hotel was also convenient, as it was close to both a bus stop and a subway station, making it easy to explore the city. there was a convenience store right across the road, which was very convenient for any last-minute purchases we needed to make.

          The beds at the hotel were quite uncomfortable. They were these futon beds that took some getting used to, but overall, they were not the most comfortable for a good night's sleep.

          We had an incredible stay at the guest house! the beautiful traditional Japanese house with a stunning backyard tree and spacious dorm room made us feel right at home. the two common areas, especially the one with a free massage chair, added to the comfort and relaxation. the family who runs the guest house is incredibly friendly and caring, always going above and beyond to ensure everyone's comfort. the breakfast was outstanding, featuring rare and expensive fruits and delicious hearty food. the Friday night BBQ and other events throughout the week were a great way to connect with fellow travelers. this place exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend staying here for a memorable experience. Cons: All was perfect! 😊.

          The guest house is conveniently located close to many tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the city. It is near the bus stop and subway station, ensuring easy access to different parts of the city. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, with beds equipped with curtains for added privacy. Guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of options, including homemade miso soup, fruits, and pastries. The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing helpful recommendations and even arranging for kimono rental.

          There were a few instances where the number of guests in the dormitory exceeded what was expected, which may have led to some overcrowding.

          Great location, close to popular attractions and transportation options. . the staff were friendly and helpful, providing recommendations and assistance throughout my stay. the breakfast buffet had a good variety and was included in the price. the rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. the owner's onsen hot bath was a nice added bonus, offering a relaxing experience.

          The lack of an elevator was inconvenient, especially when carrying luggage. . the layout of the bunk beds made it difficult to climb in and out, causing some discomfort.

          During my stay at Guest House Ga-Jyun, I had a wonderful experience. The owner of the guesthouse was incredibly caring and made a point to prepare a delicious breakfast for all the guests each morning. I even had the opportunity to visit his personal bath, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. The guesthouse is conveniently located in the center of historic places, shops, and restaurants, and is close to the JR subway. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I truly felt at home during my time there. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone visiting Kyoto. If I have the chance to visit again, I would definitely choose to stay at Guest House Ga-Jyun.

          As a solo traveler, I loved the friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and the variety of breakfast options. the location was perfect, near Gion and Nanzen-ji temple, with convenient access to public transportation.

          Felt completely relaxed, no complaints.

          I had an absolutely great stay at this place! Guest House Ga-Jyun exceeded all my expectations. The breakfast they served was marvelous and there was a great variety of options. The location of the guesthouse was also very convenient, especially for exploring Gion and visiting Yasaka Shrine. The staff, including the owner, were all lovely and made me feel at home. I also enjoyed the Sentou tour organized by the owner, it was a perfect ending to a day of sightseeing. it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a family-like atmosphere and the chance to meet new people while traveling.

          Nothing, it was perfect! 👌
