Pa contre, vieillot pas très propre peu d ustensiles de cuisine. Et surtout aucun contact avec le proprio donc très difficile de faire le check in, aucun mode d emploi pour la cuisine, la ventilation, la machine à laver.

There was a big supermarket nearby and we were able to get most of the things we needed there. The only downside was that house gets really cold in the morning (even in May). Other than that m, it was a great stay! ##### Su Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [Ryokufuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ryokufuso.h11899943.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY HEART](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RESI-STAY-Cotorune-KYOTO.h34114019.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [Marufukuro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Marufukuro.h73763736.Hotel-Information) > > [The Machiya Kazahaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-KAZAHAYA.h34878806.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Traditional Machiya House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Traditional-Machiya-House.h17940263.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-GLAD-ONE-KYOTO-SHICHIJO.h19563862.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Gojo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyoto-Gojo-Omiya.h104888086.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto-karasumagojo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMAGOJO.h51643765.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Hot Spring Hatoya Zuihokaku Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hot-Spring-Hatoya-Zuihokaku-Hotel.h7803718.Hotel-Information) > > [KYOTO GRANBELL HOTEL hanareya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoutoguranberuhoteru-Hanareya.h72398371.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Station.h33777060.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo-PREMIER.h101206013.Hotel-Information) > > [Yadoya Kikokuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yadoya-Kikokuso.h43888011.Hotel-Information) > > [MONday Apart Premium KYOTO Station ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-MONdayApartPremium-KyotoShichijoHorikawa.h72965339.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Jokyoji.h54176990.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijyo Shinmachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GENERAL-KYOTO-ShijyoShinmachi.h89799984.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) ---
