楽しかった!
友達家族と一緒にいきましたが 二階と一階に別れて寝れたので 気を遣わなく楽しめて良かったです。 表の看板が分かりずらかったのと 駐車場を提携してくれると もっといいなと思いました。 でもまた泊まりたいです!

立地が良く観光には最適。近くにコンビニ、スーパーもあるので便利。ホテルとは違い他の人に気兼ねなく過ごせるのが良い。 部屋も全体的に綺麗だったが、隅が若干埃っぽかったのが残念。

Dear randyquillen, Thank you very much for your kind review of "Kumashu-an" machiya house.

We hope that everyone made great memories in the house and exploring all that the city has to offer. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Japan again in the near future. Kind regards, "Kumashu-an" machiya house, MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Kyoto

とても素敵な町屋ホテル
木の素材やディテールにこだわったリノベーションで古い町屋の魅力が最大限に生かされていて、とても心地よい空間でした。またお掃除も行き届いていて、気持ちよく滞在することができました。お布団は星のつく高級ホテルよりもよかったように感じます。圧手のリネンも心地よくノリが効いていてぐっすり眠れました。かわいいキッチンもついていて、地元の食べ物も持ち寄ったりして楽しめます。できればもっと長く滞在したかったです。今度はほかのロケーションでも泊まってみたいです!ありがとうございました。

ほっこり熊秀庵💖
熊秀庵宿泊してきました! 一軒屋をまるごとホテル、というのは初めてでしたが、入ってびっくり!こんな家に住みたい!という感じで、一階は和室で雪見障子までついて、中庭も見れたり、隅々までおもてなしのクオリティが高く、二階もベッドがあるので、大人4人でもスペースがゆったりで大満足です。 玄関はパスコード式になっていて、 中に入ったら、設置してある携帯電話で到着の連絡をすると、スタッフさんが自転車を漕いで訪ねてきてくれます。笑 中に入ってもらって、ワイワイ言いながら 手続きをしてチェックイン終了。 まるで、友達が家に来てくれたみたいになります。笑笑 フロントで手続きするのとは、全く違うスタイルで、ほんと癒されますよ〜。 しかも、スタッフさんも、可愛いくて親切で感じ良すぎ! これも、町家のおもてなしの醍醐味ですね。^ ^ 京都中を歩き回って疲れても、お家に帰ってほっこりできた感じになります! 町家ホテルは他にも点在しているそうなので、次回もどんな町家に泊まれるか、楽しみに利用したいと思ってます。 ダントツおススメです。^ ^

素敵なお宿でした!
小ぢんまりとした清潔な宿で、とても落ち着いて過ごせました。 2階にベッドが2台、1階にふとんが2組あり、4人まで泊まることができます。 今回は女子会で使わせていただきましたが、お高い旅館のような素敵なお部屋に癒され、他の宿泊客がいないので気兼ねもないという、最高の環境でした。 また泊まりたいお宿です。

더할 나위 없었다!
니조성 근처의 조용한 골목길에 들어서면 나오는 마치야! 들어서자마자 감탄ㅠㅠㅠ 교토스러운 고즈넉한 분위기에 시설도 정말 깔끔했어요 작지만 부엌도 있어서 간단한 요리도 해먹을 수 있었고 근처에 리큐어샵이 있어서 맥주도 잔뜩 사서 파티ㅎㅎ 정원도 조그맣게 있고 새하얀 욕조도 있고 있을 거 다 있는!!ㅎㅎㅎ 침구도 깔끔하게 세탁되어 있어서 포근하게 푹 잤답니다!!! 가족 단위나 친구들끼리 여행가도 호텔과 다르게 다른 이용자들 눈치 안 보고 지낼 수 있어서 정말 강추입니다!! 너무너무 좋았어요>< とってもステキな一泊になりました! ありがとうございます😊

Ruhig gelegenes, traditionelles Machiya in der Nähe vom Nijo-jo.
Sehr sauberes, renoviertes, traditionelles Machi-ya (altes Stadthaus) das sehr zentral gelegen ist. Man kann das Schloss Nijo-jo und weiter Tempel und Schreine zu Fuß in weniger Zeit erreichen. In der Umgebung gibt es viele Restaurants, Izakaya und auch Supermärkte/Conbinis. Wir haben das Haus zu viert gemietet, und es war genau die richtige Größe für einen Trip nach Kyoto. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, so dass man auch kochen konnte. Das Wohnzimmer ist mit Tatamimatten ausgelegt, und alle Räume sind wie frisch renoviert. Der Garten verbreitet auch eine schöne, traditionelle Atmosphäre. Im Ganzen ist die Ausstattung sehr hochwertig! Die Futons sind sehr bequem und man kann wirklich gut darin Schlafen! Wirklich empfehlenswert und weich! Das Bad hat sowohl Badewanne als auch Dusche und es werden Zahnbürste, Duschgel, Schampoo, Spülung, etc. vorbereiten. Es gibt auch einen Fön! Die Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner ist auch sehr praktisch! Für den Check-in kam auch ein Mitarbeiter der Firma vorbei, der uns die Umgebung erklärt hat, viele Tipps gab und das Haus erklärt hat. Wirklich sehr professionell und freundlich! Ich kann es jedem empfehlen hier zu übernachten, auch wenn man einen längeren Aufenthalt plant!

二条城の近くの町家!
今回は2つの町家に宿泊させて頂き、こちらは2泊目でした。 こちらでも事前に受けていた暗証番号で解錠し、京都らしい暖簾をかき分け室内に入ると、1階はTV付きの落ち着いた和室にトイレ、キッチン、洗面所、お風呂と言う配置で、動線を考えた使い勝手の良い造りだと感じました。更に、外に目をやると、限られたスペースに小さな坪庭を配し、町家の雰囲気を更に醸しだしており、和室に入るなり、キッチンから備付け(コーヒー・煎茶・紅茶)の美味しいコーヒーを頂きながら暫し坪庭を眺めリラックスしました。 2階には、ベットルームとテーブルセットが置かれた部屋が有り、多目的に使えそうだ。 そして、1階も2階も隅々まで掃除が行き届ていて気持ち良く過ごせました。アメニティも寝間着以外は全て完備されており助かりました。 一棟貸しと言うことで、ホテルや旅館にない良さが有り、他の宿泊客と会うこともなく、特にこの町家は、前も隣りも個人宅で、さながら宿泊と言うより住んでいると言う不思議な感覚に陥るは何なのかと考えると、これも町家独特の雰囲気だと納得する。 アクセスは、地下鉄二条城前駅から5分程、近くには二条城や京都御所(現在は予約無しで入れる)もあり徒歩圏内だ。 やはり、町家に泊まる時は、炊事道具一式等完備されているので、食事は作って頂くのが醍醐味だと思いました。今回は一人でしたので、外食で済ませましたが、次回は、仲間と食料品持参で炊きたての御飯と熱々のみそ汁で食事をしたいと思います。 今回、町家に宿泊して大正解でした。本当に快適な時間ありがとうございました。
