First, I have to state that I DID NOT stay at Machiya Kamiumeya but at the Ebisuya. So my rating is for Machiya Ebisuya. Not only did I not know that there is NO staff even during the day at the Kamiuneya, but what's worse, the guest is not even initially taken there by their staff to familiarise her with what's where. In an emergency a solo traveller is supposed to try and call the staff from an empty machiya? And how long does the staff take to get there? Nowhere in booking.com is it explicitly said that the guest would have to fend entirely for herself, even though one of the reviews did say there was a fire at night and the guests had to put it out themselves. This is a serious lapse on the part of the machiya. So when I expressed my displeasure during checkin, the Machiya Inns office arranged for me to stay at the aesthetically furnished and wonderfully maintained Ebisuya. It was a pleasure staying there. They even arranged for me to have the same room (very large, for four) on the second leg of my stay which made coming back seem like coming home! A minor misunderstanding was gracefully sorted with an apology by the manager. They also have complementary laundry facilities for guests. Much appreciated! The staff was most friendly and ready to help with insider tips. It made my stay most enjoyable!

This little place is stunning. It is a traditional Japanese House known as a Machiya. It has been tastefully refurbished to provide rooms. Note, there is no reception at the house but there is an office around 10 mins walk which is helpfully located between the railway station and the accommodation. They will also deliver your luggage for you. The room was very tastefully decorated and there are USB slots for you to charge your phone and helpfully a shared washing machine. The shower was good and the bed was comfortable. You can also use the traditional Yukata as your bathing robe. The accommodation is on the outskirts of Gion around 10 to 15 mins walk from the famous Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka streets and the Kiyomizu-Dera Temples which must be seen. Its around 15 to 20 mins walk into the centre of Kyoto. If I am lucky enough to go to Kyoto again, this will be first on my list.

Incredible customer service, truly above and beyond (Special mention to Ko who made us feel like VIPs) Seamless check in/out experience with top notch luggage courier service which made our whole experience super smooth. We were travelling on our honeymoon and were touched to find a box of chocolates waiting for us upon arrival in our Machiya. The Suite was even better than pictured and we only wish we could've stayed even longer to really indulge. Really lovely quiet residential location! Staff also went to lengths to help us when we had to make a complaint about a particularly disruptive guest in the room above us.

The check-in counter is conveniently near Kyoto station, and the staff take your bags to your room for you which ia very handy because the rooms are about a 30min walk from the check-in place. The room itself is very clean and a good size, with comfy beds and a bath which is always a bonus. The amenities are great and presented in a cute bag. The hotel itself is in a central location down a small street with other homes so it's very quiet.

- Overall great stay and value - Check-in location and luggage storage are at a different location than the hotel, but this was communicated prior to check-in and hotel offered convenient free luggage transfer. - Beautiful, clean, and spacious room with modern amenities but traditional decor - Quiet neighborhood but still walking distance to many attractions in Gion/Higashiyama
