Meika Machiya — Hotel in Kyoto

Absolutely incredible Machiya in Kyoto. The space is amazing, more than enough room for our family of 3 - with a western style bedroom with a firm and comfy large bed, and a Japanese style bedroom with 2 very comfortable futons. The bath is beautiful and large, the shower with firm water pressure and very nice space and toiletries. Also so nice to have 2 toilets. The design is beautiful, with a lovely inner planted courtyard room and space in the home is plentiful. Provided toiletry bags were an added bonus. The Machiya is perfectly located in Kyoto for easy walking access to all areas and metros. Key access, check-in and check-out were all very simple. Will absolutely return to this Machiya next time we visit Kyoto. I could not recommend...

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Meike guesthouse. Situated just south of the main Gion area, it is down the hill from Kiyomizu-dera it provided a central point for our 3 day stay in Kyoto. Accommodation is nicely appointed with compact kitchen/laundry and comfortable lounge area. Steep narrow stairs to top bedroom floor. Bathroom area has good amenities including a lovely large blue round bath for a good soak after a long day of walking. Western Beds were comfortable although pillows were a bit hard for us. Teenagers slept on futons. Keypad entry easy to use. We enjoyed night time walks with less crowds around and recommend the local cafe and bakery nearby too. Thanks for a great stay....

This is such a fun and unique way to stay in Kyoto! The house was the perfect size for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids).

It was in a fairly quiet part of Higashiyama, but also walking distance to a train station and several shops. It’s about a 10 minute taxi ride to...
