Guesthouse Kyoto Ekimae

Location is pretty good, just 5-7 mins walk from the station, the area is off commercial area and quiet. The owner carried my little suitcase upstairs, which was nice of him. There are three toilet rooms so you don't need to wait in a line. The owner doesn't bother you at all.

I stayed in a room with a bank bed for a night, and in the late evening it started smell the tobacco smoke from below, probably where the owner lives. I didn't appreciate that. A toilet bowl was soiled. Wifi was very weak in that room. On the wall of the room, the word "idiot" has been scribbled in Japanese in big letters and I wonder why the owner wouldn't erase it. A tiny low table would have been nice to have in the room. As some reviewers mentioned, it was kind of awkward that the owner first showed the fee and required to pay even without welcoming his guest.
