The garden view suite was outstanding, large, with a nice view and gorgeous design. I'm giving out 4/5 because we were promised to have a washing machine in the room which we didn't have. Also, there were no clear instructions on how to use the bath. Not a big detail but that'd have made the stay perfect.

Absolutely gorgeous room, representing traditional tatami style. Attentive service. Flawless room facilities including heated floors. Centrally located without a single street noise to be heard. Do me a favor and try the garden suite room.

The room is next to the road, you can hear any noise from outside. The position of beds are terrible, the light will on your face in the morning. The gate of the building is sharing the wall with room, so you can hear the door closing on anyone going in or out, it is a loud knock noise. The air conditioner in the room is noise as well, hard to sleep at night. We called reception, and they said that they cannot help us and we need to contact other machiya (chain hotel)(Machiya Inns & Hotels) by ourselves if we want to change the room. For anyone who is considering staying in this machiya, please ensure you will not live in room 101.

We had a very poor experience at the Machiya. The check-in counter is near Kyoto station, but the houses and hotels are scattered throughout the city. Ours was a bus ride and long walk away. When we arrived at our room we found it was not the one we booked (suite with a garden) but a smaller, darker room with a very small bathroom and no counter. The sink and bathtub shared a single faucet. We called the front desk to help change the room and they referred us to their reservation team, who emailed us the next day that nothing was available. We ended up booking another hotel for the last night with no refund from Machiya, and when we asked for their help arranging a taxi they said the taxi situation was "chaotic" and we needed to order one ourselves. So on each count - the room, the service, and the location, we were uniquely disappointed.

I haven’t been overly impressed with this hotel – primarily the service. The room was nice. Location was ok. The check-in experience wasn’t great. They told me that no one would be here if I arrived after 7pm and would have to do self check-in. I arrived at 6.40pm and still no one was here. I had to ring from a phone on the wall and wait a while for someone to answer and give me instructions to get into the room and explain the hotel details. The room was nice, though very small with no space for a suitcase. The bathroom was one of those plastic corner ones you often see in cities in Japan. The wifi wasn’t good – it was a weak connection and dropped out regularly. The dehumidifier didn’t work, so I sent an email which over 24 hours later still no one has replied to. We wanted to leave our luggage with the hotel for a few hours after check-out, a common service at hotels and hostels. When I rang the number, the person who answered simply didn’t understand what I was trying to achieve and kept offering a delivery service. They asked me to send an email so they could translate it. The person assured me they would answer tonight but they still haven’t, and I’m not expecting them to. Also they told me there was an indoor phone to contact management with but it never materialised, so I had to go downstairs and stand outside every time I wanted to speak to them. If I’d realised this was a hotel where no staff ever appear and they are unable to help with fairly basic questions when you need them, I wouldn’t have booked it. All in all I don’t think it was really worth the price and can only imagine the top reviews here are based purely on the design of the hotel, which is admittedly impressive.
