Keiji-san and his wife, Hiromi-san, opened this hostelry in 2003 in a former apartment building with six tatami rooms for three to five persons (three of which are gilded in gold and have refrigerators) complete with balconies, plus two dormitory rooms that sleep up to five persons. The level of caring is impressive, with little maps of the neighborhood given to guests that show the location of restaurants, supermarkets, and more; tips dispensed on what's going on and how to spend rainy days; free coffee and tea in the communal kitchen; and the chance to try on a kimono. With its good location, English-speaking staff, and clean rooms, this place beats most other budget accommodations hands down, but too bad it doesn't have double rooms.
Luckily, Keiji offers an additional 13 rooms (including Japanese-style twins) and three dormitory rooms at his nearby Tour Club, 362 Momiji-cho, Kitakoji-agaru, Higashi-Nakasuji Dori (tel. 075/353-6968; www.kyotojp.com), a 9-minute walk from the station. With similar facilities and amenities, it offers twin rooms from ¥7,770, triples from ¥8,880, quads from ¥1,720, and dormitory beds for ¥2,450.
Facilities:
Rental bikes (¥690 per day); lobby computer (¥100 per 20 min.); communal microwave

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
