Nothing bad. Just keep in mind that as is a not a sound-proof old traditional building. So, you might hear steps from upstairs or voices from other rooms during night.

It is a basic, simple traditional hotel with friendly staff. The location is convenient, close to the Kyoto station and well connected to the public transport, but not in a busy and noisy street. There is a convenience store nearby.

Great location near the station and worked well with a baby travelling with us.

The staff was really nice and everything was clean. there is only a few rooms so we had no issues sharing the bathroom and toilets.

I was ok to sleep on futons on the floor but others with limited mobility may struggle. The bathrooms are down the hall, again I didn't have a problem but something to consider. Also towels are an extra cost.

The location is perfect. Close to transport and shops. It's a unique experience to stay in a 120yo ryokan. There was a small bar fridge in the room and the nearby seven 11 and family mart will heat up your meals.

Nothing .

Super clean and the staff are super lovely . Big rooms and comfortable beds even though it’s on the ground .

One of the rooms rented during the stay had a rattle in the room, wasn't a huge issue but annoying none the less. Having to pay extra for a towel wasn't ideal so bringing one is recommended. The pillow supplied was probably a little too small for my liking.

Traditional house, good location not far from the kyoto station. Breakfast was good although having to pay extra. Very different experience but an enjoyable one. Although toilets and showers not in the room they were just outside the room and plenty within the hotel which would be fine in busier periods.

The Ryokan is old and the isolation from the windows is not very good so we had to ask for extra heater since it was very cold outside. After it we slept so good!

We had so much fun in Kyoto and this accommodation definitely made the trip better! I loved the Ryokan inside out and didnt mind the shared bathroom at all, everything was so clean. The staff were amazing, especially the girl from Sri Lanka (sorry we forgot her name), she was very helpful to us!

A wonderful ryokan experience in a more than 100 year old home. Each room has a theme - we loved staying in the Ninja room complete with ninja stars! The cafe in the same building has a lovely atmosphere serving a good selection of food and drinks. Staff were very welcoming and made our stay comfortable.

I enjoyed staying in this lovely machiya, and appreciated its peace and warmth. My room was the perfect size for me, and though it was winter the heater worked beautifully. I also appreciated how close it was to Kyoto Station. Would gladly stay there again if I could.

We loved our stay here. Our room was small but comfortable, had a good sleep on the futons, and the place was quiet and calm. Having a café downstairs that opens at 8am was really nice. Not having a private bathroom wasn’t an issue for us, it was never too busy and everything was clean and well taken care of. Super cute place and would come back!

I wish there was a common microwave I could use at night time.

Location was great, nice quiet neighbourhood, close to JR Kyoto station. Beautiful little ryokan, very comfortable.

Walls are thin and you hear all. and if you'r unlucky like I was.. I had a group to my left who were really loud and walked around and made huge amount of sound and didn't even try to be quiet and another family to my right who had a small child who woke up early (although this I understand and I'm a lot easier going with this)...

A lot. Staff. It's close to the train station yet still quiet. Really nice little garden downstairs. Room is so nice. Good coffee downstairs.

Absolutely nothing

The Ryokan gave me traditional Japanese experience that I was looking for.

A traditional and beautiful ryokan with a cafe attached, convenient, old, and beautiful.
