Kyo Oyado Anzu in Kyoto

The room is spread over two floors. Downstairs there's a kitchen, dining area, toilet, and washroom.

Unlike in Taiwan, Japanese guesthouses typically have separate toilets and washrooms.

Perhaps because the local temperature is generally lower, the washroom has heating, and the bathtub has a temperature control panel, which is very useful in winter. The bathtub is quite large; an adult can comfortably soak in it.

The kitchen is fully equipped, with standard tableware, pots and pans, and a coffee machine. After a long day of sightseeing, you can enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee after a relaxing shower – a thoughtful touch.

The dining area has four high chairs, and a TV is at the table. The first floor felt small but perfectly formed, with more amenities than most hotels in Taiwan. However, due to the limited space, the space utilization was more efficient.

The second floor has a rustic style, with entrances on both sides that connect to each other, all dedicated to sleeping areas. Our group of three adults and four children had plenty of room for seven beds, which was very comfortable. The only drawback was the abundance of decorative art pieces; we were worried about children damaging them, so we had to be very careful. However, adults would likely experience a different kind of accommodation, feeling as if they were in an elegant Japanese-style house.

I really liked the room's decor; overall it was great. The only downside was that the stairs connecting the first and second floors were very steep (probably due to limited space). So, if you have elderly people or children, you really need to be careful about their safety. Also, guesthouses in Japan are generally small, so there's not much room to move around if you spread out your luggage.

Make sure to book ahead of time and you'll be able to look forward to one of the most welcoming places for your stay in Kyoto! I arrived just in time to enjoy one of their frequent Takoyaki get-together parties on my birthday, quite enjoyable!

Will return to it quite soon! :D

Best hostel in our trip. Rooms were perfect. Staff was lovely. Even the food parties were great. If you wanna see smiling faces and great breakfasts go to Kyoto and stay at Piece Hostel.

Piece Hostel Kyoto is an innovative yet super clean and comfortable hostel located near Kyoto Station. It offers many different services (bike rentals, tourist information, ect) and organizes events for the guests and has a very nice terrace up on the third floor. Really really recommended especially for young people who wants to meet other travellers from all over the world.
