8/10 Good

This tatami style hotel is clean, quiet and spacious compared to other hotels in Japan. It is very close to the Nishiki market, and is walkable to the metro lines P
Yuhong, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic location, clean, quiet and charming. We really enjoyed our stay, and appreciated daily cleaning and bed arrangment service. Loads of good places to eat around, and on a rainy day, itvwas very close to the Nishiki market.
Gulnara, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice classic Ryokan in the middle of everything!
Allan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A lovely gem in a very central and safe location in Kyoto. The staff knew what I wanted and even took extra steps to help me maximize my stay, like calling my room when I'd forgotten about the breakfast I'd booked. It's a quick bus or subway ride from Kyoto Station, and I will certainly come back for another stay.
Joseph, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really like the place, the personal where so kind and the room so awesome, i slept very well, and the ryokan is very well located

The Ryokan Hirashin was very conveniently close the the markets, shopping and public transport which was fantastic for us 😊
Corey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Typical Japanese experience. The room is spacious, we slept on the tatames/futons which the staff makes for you. And kudos to the staff that are beyond helpful and gentle. On top of that the hotel has its own Onsen (public baths). We loved it but we know that this not to everyone. If you want the ordinary, then, well, look for an ordinary hotel.
Fabio, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice ryokan in the city. Was a very cool experience with a nice onsen as part of the property. Staff were nice, but not as welcoming as I would have imagined. I only stayed for one night and it was great, but I would not stay again.

We wanted a ryokan experience and this was our first. It was traditional for sure. We enjoyed the authentic Japanese breakfast.

tian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location is very good. The room and bath were very clean and the breakfast was delicious, Japanese style. They made up the futon and brought tea to the room in the evening. Everyone was polite and kind. The public bath was clean and relaxing.
Audrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent cheap safe and gives you a great feeling of traditional Japan. The check in is way too late though 4pm
Marco, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is awesome, right next to Shijo/Karasuma, with a lot of things in a walking distance (department stores, Nishiki Market, Teramachi, Pontocho, Gion...) It's a fine ryokan, just a little run-down, as other reviewers have already commented. Could use an update and a coat of paint. (But then again, it's in way better shape than the average American motel...)
Stefan, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Horribly dirty

Horrible experience. The lobby is the only nice part of this ryoken. Stains everywhere, the room smelled like it hasn’t had fresh air in months, the AC didn’t work, and foulest smelling “closet” I have ever smelled. We spent one of four nights and got another place to stay. Outdated doesn’t cover how dirty this place is.
Melissa, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Front staff do not understand English, very hard to communicate unless you have the translator gadget Bathroom sink has molds, stains on curtains and walls and noticeable paper rips on the sliding wall divider. Our room facing street that could get loud due to crowds and vehicles Noises penetrate loud from other rooms too. Good location near Nishiki Market and other food restaurants. Though not a good short walk to the Kyoto station
Maria, 2-night trip

Linda experiencia

Muy buen hospedaje si quieres vivir una autentica experiencia tradicional Japonesa! No quedarse si tienes problemas de espalda porque las colchonetas no son comodas! Pero en general el hotel es lindo y la ubicación es excelente!
