Uraraka was the perfect base for my exploration of Kyoto. The room was small but clean and had had everything I needed. At the price, it was fantastic value. There were plenty of dining options nearby and it was close to public transport. The manager was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. Highly recommended.

A very good Guest House

The receptionists were marvellous. All of them. Specially the young man that I met there on 2 days of my 3 day stay. I was going to Osaka from there; but the typhoon had come and the trains had been cancelled or suspended. He spent so much time to find out for me & then write the directions down, so I can take the normal slow train to Osaka (the bus Nos, the train names, the stations I needed to get off, the landmarks) and I got to near proximity of my Osaka hotel; he even asked me the address of the Osaka hotel so he can tell me which lines to take, to get off the train just near it. He was the most helpful receptionist ever and I have met many many receptions in my travels. He & this guest house topped them all. They have produced a very helpful local map of the buses near them. Thank you for being so helpful. :-)

Best budget-friendly stay in central Kyoto

I stayed a week in Uraraka and I was very happy with the service and with my stay there. After spending the 1st night in smaller room,the staff gave me a more spacious room which was perfect for a solo traveller.Read some reviews before about the location,but it’s actually perfect(I know the city very well).From the bus stop 1 min away from the guest house, there are buses taking you to Arashiyama,Higashiyama,Sanjo/Shijo region, Kinkakuji-basically to most tourist attractions in these areas.there are free bicycles provided and if you need train,JR Nijo is 15 min on foot.Two convenience stores within 3-4 min walk,and a big supermarket with a 100 yen shop also 3-4 min walk.Nijo castle is basically across the street.extra clean rooms,with daily towel change upon request and if you stay longer,they change bedsheets every 3rd day. Staff is English speaking and so,so helpful.Yuji san even stayed with me when my airport shuttle was late,in case I needed to call.Overall,nothing bad-only wonderful experience.

It was really nice for a single room at that price and I had a great view from my room. The staff were very helpful and I loved being able to get the city bus from right outside. There was a bit of noise but earplugs are a must have for travelling at this budget ❤️

Good location with several nearby bus stops. Roomy enough for 2. Good lighting and cooking area. Very good trash collection & towel laundry. Needs a dining table and chairs instead of the very uncomfortable couch-bed as no usable eating spot. The table chairs would be more comfortable to watch TV than that terrible couch. A couple of suitcase racks would be nice. Overall satisfied with apartment as a good value with good staff and location.
