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

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.

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 Outdated doesn’t cover how dirty this place is.

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...)

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

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!

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,…).

Très belle chambre. Dépaysement garantie. Très bien localisé, proche de toutes les stations de métro et arrêt de bus permettant de rejoindre les lieux touristiques et temples à visiter. Et surtout à 2 min à pied de Nishiki Market !!
