What are the common concerns about Santiago Guesthouse Kyoto?
We found bugs that we think are bed bugs in one of the beds and more on the wall between the top bunk beds. Earplugs recommended. Noise from outside is very easy to hear and as always, a lot of people sleeping in the same room = someone will snore.

High season is in April, and low season is in July.
