Rinn Premium Machiya Yae

true japanese house yet very modern

nothing

We loved everything, the traditional settings and design, very spacious for Kyoto, nice and quiet neighborhood, washing machine

We are tall so navigating the very low doorways proved to be a challenge There is no sound proofing which is fine but good to know before booking

The traditional look and feel of the home. And the staff - they were extremely helpful and very friendly. Their response time and how quickly they took action was impeccable.

It took a bit of time to figure out the air conditioning system and how it works, but once that was figured out, it worked perfectly.

Thé bathroom is very nice and the location is good. Taking taxi to most of the sight-seeing areas didn’t cost much. We informed we could not sleep because of the poor sound-proofing and the necessities were not enough for all of the guests staying. The staff responded swiftly though the problems cannot be solved. At least the staff tried to do some remedial measures.

Thé sound proof is terrible. The roof basically acts like a "loudspeaker" so any sound in one bedroom on the second floor will be attenuated and people in the other room will hear clearly. When people walk on the ground floor especially wearing the clogs provided, people in the whole house can hear. Therefore it is very difficult for us to sleep. Thé house will be nice to accommodate less than 4 people. But we had 7 people. If I had been aware of such a condition, I would not have booked this house. And I think it is the responsibility of the hotel as they should NOT let so many people to stay there. The facilities just cannot fit for more than 4 people.
