Kyo-Anthu Inn

Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto

It is set 1.3 km from TKP Garden City Kyoto and provides full-day security. The guest house has family rooms. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and kind to our children; they made the stay feel like a family visit. We loved the big room with comfy beds and a tatami breakfast area. We also liked the onsen-style private bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and different every day. The location was in a small quiet street close to the bus- and train station, and for the people with more stamina even within walking distance of the old town and central shopping areas.
