Perfect between the main station and the Nishiki Market (both about 20-30min walking). Super calm neighborhood. Very clean and stylish. Felt like home!

Very difficult to find, tiny room with nowhere to sit. Bathroom the size of a cupboard.

It was a roof over our head

Would have preferred an internal bathroom/toilet, not a separate one.

everything was as expected and the accommodation was very simple and elegant.

Rooms were smaller than website photos appeared and despite posted square footage information. Customers can hear clearly through the walls of the neighbouring rooms which is unfortunate. Website should clearly state rules regarding noise levels - that these are quiet accommodations.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Zero feeling of luxury. Felt as if it was a cheap Air BNB.

It was kind of cozy

The room was only cleaned 1 time, and they threw away my Sim card.

The room was nice.

The perfect place to stay in Kyoto!

There isn’t anything I can say I dislike about this place.

The location is perfect for just about everything! Close to many sightseeing areas, as well as places to eat and shop!

Location was excellent, just a short, 10min walk to Kyoto Station. We enjoyed staying in the traditional ryokan in a quiet, residential area of the city. We stayed 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer.

A great traditional experience with very clean rooms and facilities. All staff were extremely welcoming and spoke English which was very helpful. Also, the ryokan is only a short walk to Kyoto Station and other tourist attractions!

They were great. They gave us towels, it's a good location and the staff were super attentive. Also, it's self-checkout, which is amazing if you have social anxiety.

Pricey for just sleeping, I suppose. But what a place to do it in!

The rooms were freezing cold upon arrival (mid- Dec) and throughout our stay. We needed to have the heating aircon on full blast all the time just to make the rooms tolerable. No insulation at all (double glazing, curtains, rugs), in fact the windows are so poorly fitted there was 1cm gap between the window and the frame in some places, not very nice when it is below 0'C outside. I get this is a traditional ryoken, but it is rather shoddily built with creaking floors, random bits of wood of different size, shape, colour crudely nailed together, especially around the door frames. There is no noise insulation either, so we could hear the neighbors speaking, etc very easily. The hotel is difficult to find, being located in a warren of back streets, but taxis can find it easily if you have the address in Japanese. The reception is in a different building (restaurant) about 50m down the street. The staff were pleasant but did not interact with us the whole stay (3N), so no trash removal, no fresh towels, no replacing teabags, etc. We had 4 green teabags for a family of 5 over 3N. Toilet paper ran out and was not replaced. Tiny TV. Some electrical sockets did not appear to work. Old kitchen equipment (e.g. pans). Too many rules and regulations, keep the noise down, take out the trash, wash the dishes, do everything yourself without assistance, pay for extras, e.g. coin laundry, return everything to the reception, etc. Did not feel pampered at all. Unacceptably cold and draughty.

The experience of living in a traditional house was interesting. Interesting neighborhood to walk around.
