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.

the breakfast was really good the staff mainly spoke japanese but wrre still very friendly and helpful but the building is pretty old som walls have stains it wasnt really the ryukon experience i was looking for just because it was more of a hotel then small Japanese house but i feel like if your not expecting that and just want a hotel thats classic on the inside in kyoto this isnt a bad choice

A bit disappointed, especially for the price paid. old Ryokan that need a refresh, heater was not working and it was freezing some nights. The sento at the basement was ok. the location tough is convenient and quiet with many dining options around.

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.
Verified review

6/10 Good

This Ryokan is very well located and at walking distance to many of the highlights of Kyoto. The staff is very helpful and nice, and the traditional Japanese breakfast good. However, expect a Ryokan which needs a good amount of refresh (for example very basic bathroom, holes in our bedroom walls and screens, hallways which would benefit for new paint, only one washing machine,…).
Verified review

6/10 Good

The location is great with lots of shopping and dining option and close to bus and train station. The biggest issue is the hotel is dated and lack proper maintenance. The bathroom smells bad will some sewage smell. I wish the management can invest money in fixing it up and it will be a great place to stay
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.
