【Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Home in Kyoto】2min walk to Kiyomizu Temple

We recently stayed at Kiyomizu Sannenzaka - Guest House and had a mixed experience. Location: The location is overall quite good — within walking distance to Kyoto’s main attractions and charming historical streets. That said, it’s situated on a hill, which makes accessibility an issue. The nearest station is a 10-minute uphill walk, and taxis are the only alternative. There are no convenience stores (combinis) nearby, and most local shops only open from 10:00/10:30 to around 18:00, so morning coffee is limited to Starbucks or % Arabica, usually with a queue. I’d rate the location a 4/5 solely for its proximity, but with accessibility and convenience considered, it falls short. Room & Cleanliness: This is more of an apartment-style stay than a hotel, with no daily cleaning services. In fact, we were asked to leave trash inside the room, which becomes unpleasant after a long day out — essentially, you return to your own waste. The room didn’t feel particularly clean. The kitchen sink had a strong, foul odor, and the cleaning staff left cleaning supplies (rugs, scrubs) out on the counter. We requested that they address the smell and clean up, but our request was acknowledged and then ignored. Facilities & Comfort: There’s no elevator, so getting to the third floor with luggage is a real challenge. When it rains, the pathway to the room floods, adding to the inconvenience. That said, the shower room was surprisingly nice and included a TV — a peculiar but fun touch. The toilet, however, lacked a bidet, which is an unexpected omission in Japan. Overall: While the location has its merits, the lack of basic cleanliness, poor service response, and general inconvenience made this stay disappointing. This isn’t a hotel-level experience and fell short of expectations.

第一天晚上洗了冷氣濾網才不致過敏一直咳。晚上回家沿途很美，不過要走一點點坡，是強迫鍛鍊的好方法。附近有超市很方便，散步到抵園也不遠。離清水寺超近，戶外空氣好。

衛生不錯 位置就在景區裡面 一路上都是斜坡或樓梯 因此去車站稍微有點不方便 特別拿著行李 我們從清水三条坐的士需要1000日圓以內 另外這是沒有電梯的 住2樓和3樓的房客要留意咯 不過他的3樓相當於走2層而已 自動販賣機就在門口 但便利店下山才有哦 房間裏應有盡有 有洗衣機 廚具等
