The Duo inn in Kyoto is a grey Art Deco landmark amongst small, wooden houses in a safe residential district, about an hour’s bus ride from Kyoto Station. It's easy to spot. The manager sent detailed directions and transport information. Our apartment was the size of a large caravan. We had 2 big beds, a sofa, a telly (local channels)... More

My husband and I stayed at Duo Inn for 7 nights in May 2013. We have just returned home to Singapore. The best part of our stay was returning home to this lovely apartment. The location is in the north part of kyoto. The apartment though far from the centre is very accessible and it was good for us as... More

First of all, thanks to Yoshi for everything of assisting us to get familiar with our room on the check-in day. Also, don't think I can make a reservation through in Kyoto without Yoshi's fluent English and follow on detail travel info from Kyoto station to Duo Inn since this is our first trip to Kyoto .

My daughter and I stayed at Duo Inn the first two weeks of April, at the height of the Sakura season. Kyoto is very busy at this time of year and it was wonderful to have a quiet place to come home to each evening after a busy day spent sightseeing. Once we stocked up the small self-contained apartment, we... More

Nice apartment with all we needed. Very very friendly stuff, and close to shops and Bus/Trains. I'll definitely want to stay there again if i go to Kyoto (very nice city, you'll need at least 4 days there to see most important things :) )

We were staying in Duo Inn in April 2013 for 10 days around cherry blossom season. We took a taxi from Kyoto station (cost around 1700 Yens). The taxi driver did not know how to get there, but we got a detailed instructions from Duo-Inn manager Yoshi (also with Japanese maps), showed them to a taxi driver and he delivered... More

Clean, cozy, and convenient are the words to depict the apartment. The Duo Inn is in a quiet neighborhood. However, the department store, supermarket, drug store and restaurant are accessible within walking distance. Yoshi San is very considerate. With all the advantages of the apartment, I certainly will come back to stay at this apartment again.

Location-wise, I found the Duo Inn to be located in a very pleasant place. It is nice and quiet, but not far from conveniences such as a large supermarket, various 24-hour stores, and small restaurants (about 5-10 min. walk depending on how far you want go.) If you wish to go downtown, it takes about 20-30 min. from the closest... More

I stayed at the Duo Inn for 8 nights and was so pleased at the quality and size of the room, as well as the friendliness and helpfulness of Yoshi and his mother. They did an excellent job helping with whatever I needed during my stay. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit far removed from the... More

An excellent deal and you will really like the detailed map the staff has prepared: you'll feel like a part of this safe neighborhood. Clean, quiet, and affordable. It's kind of a dormitory style place with kitchenette and would work well for long term, too. Neighborhood hot spring a 10 min. walk south and was really an authentic neighborhood style... More
