Lovely Stay!
I loved our stay in Kyoto. This hotel is close to two bus stops and a subway stop. The restaurant downstairs is also lovely. The laundry on-site is also a huge win. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the lack of wifi. The service was spotty at best.

tres bel hotel , malheureusement le service restaurant n est pas souple, il y a deux possibilites de petit dejeuner (facture une vingtaine de dollars) et vous n avez pas le droit a un deuxieme cafe par example vous devez payer le petit dejeuner est purement japonnais j ai obtenu d echanger contre un croissant donc ca fait un peu cher le petit dejeuner (1 croissant et un cafe) meme pas le jus de fruit qui va avec les autres petits dejeuners, c est un peu leger quand meme sinon l hotel est agreable mais vraiment ils doivent ameliorer ce service restauration

Excellent hotel in convenient locations
The hotel was fantastic! The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and cozy, the reception smelled and sounded like a spa. They had a guest lounge that was beautiful with tasty beverages. We tried the Japanese breakfast which was cool but not our cup of tea. The hotel is close to subway and major bus line, walking distance t hreat shopping, parks, shrines, and Nishiki market. Overall, our stay was exactly what we needed and more, we'll definitely come again next time we're in Kyoto!

4/10 Fair

Decent hotel but was disappointed by rooms
My main issue was that the images of the hotel online felt misleading and therefore the rooms were disappointing. Neither my room or the rooms booked by my family members looked like the advertised images. Rooms were very small with little space for baggage. All rooms had dark/black carpets, and no wood floors as in the images. My family members paid for a traditional Japanese style room but their room did not differ from my standard room at all. This said, they werent bad rooms and wouldn't have been a problem with them if the online images had been more reflective of what the rooms looked like in person. The only other issue was that there were no reception staff at night. Otherwise the hotel staff were great, the breakfast was good and bathroom area of the hotel room was nice.

10/10 Exceptional

The Rakuro Hotel has a lovely blend of traditional Japanese ryokan and modern styling. We stayed in a room with tatami and futons which was very comfortable. It was large and perfect for two people with suitcases. The private bathroom was also spacious. It is joined to the room, but you have to remember to keep your key on you as it is outside the main door in a private entryway. This was not an issue, just a readjustment. You do not need to worry about bathroom privacy since there is a bathroom door lock and toilet door lock. The hotel lounge has tea making facilties and botanical water which was a lovely extra. It's a great place to sit and relax in the morning or after sightseeing. The spa like music makes it a very serene atmosphere. There are plently of places for food in the local area. Highlights include a small bakery called Flip Up! which has freshly baked, warm pastries and breads, and a matcha cafe called YUGEN which serves specially prepared matcha drinks with traditional wagashi. The hotel is located in walking distance of a metro line and a city bus making access easy. It is also only a 25 minute walk to Nishiki. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We really appreciated that they sorted our luggage transfer to our next hotel. There was not any issues with the language difference. The staff spoke a good level of English and used translation apps which made everything a breeze.
