“I liked the old school Charme of the hostel and everything was very clean. It is like 30 walk from the Gion district, but it’s also interesting to walk a bit. It is close to the Kyoto main station (like 6 min walk), which is perfect. Everything was very thoughtful in my room and very very clean. I liked that a lot and I felt safe.”
“Clean. Tidy.”
“Really nice friendly owners. The place is clean and newly renovated.”
“The location is great, it is so close to Nojo Jo castle, only around 15minutes walking distance. There is a cheap drug store (also sell food, drinks and handy/useful medicines) besides 7-11. Bus stops are two minutes away. Direct bus line to Arashiyama and Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji Temple)”
“We left 10 days ago and we have been missing Kyoto Compass and Mama & Papa ever since. My family and I visited for the 2. time in May 2024(first time Nov. 2022) and we love everything about Kyoto Compass. Would go back in a heartbeat if we could.
We stayed in the beautiful Japanese room and enjoyed sleeping on the very comfortable futons. There are lovely gardens on both sides of the room.
I could go on and on about how great Kyoto Compass is, but shortly spoken: If you want a magical guesthouse experience and if you are so lucky it’s available on your dates: Don’t hesitate, just go ahead and book it, you wont regret.
Thank you Mama and Papa for having us. Thank you for the wonderful conversations, your perfect advice on where to eat, where to go and how to get there. Thank you for speaking Japanese with our 9-year-old son and helping him with his homework. Thank you for all the love, care and effort you put into Kyoto Compass, making it such a unique, warm and beautiful place to stay. Hope to see you again soon.”
“Near to few attractions, but the place needs refurbishment, all adequate.”

Thank you wholeheartedly for this INCREDIBLE experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
