Welcoming staff guided us through the traditional ryokan experience. We used the onsen once and had it all to ourselves. The traditional Japanese breakfasts were HUGE and delicious - a great way for me and my family to try foods we may not have otherwise. We stayed 4 nights and each days’ breakfasts were different. Some reviewers complained about the breakfasts being too small - I think that is because they didn’t purchase the full breakfast, which does cost more and is worth it. The hotel was a very short walk to Nishiki market. Convenient location and yet it was also very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Great ryokan stay w traditional meals included or not (your preference) and public bath in basement. Super walkable - a block to nishiki market and next door to the cutest stationary store.

All the staff were very helpful and polite. Ms Hiroko especially went above and behond to assist us and we appreciate it. Beds were comfortable and traditional japanese breakfast was excellent

A fantastic traditional experience, but also very accessible for tourists. We loved the hospitality, food and location. Would recommend for sure.

This was the best place I stayed durung my first visit to Japan. I traveled throughout the country, and no place was better. It reminded me of staying at my grandmother's home when I was younger. The staff was especially kind and helpful. The bath was clean and relaxing. I especially felt honored by the formal welcome from the staff. They had a lady welcome me at the room and prepare green tea for me as she explained the facility. I had never stayed in a ryokan before, and my stay here was a great experience. Thank you all for enriching my life. Also, thank you for a restful place for during my tiring travels. I felt blessed to be there.

we had a great time here, the place was really well located, the staff was friendly and helpful, it was very comfortable. The hot bath was a huge plus.

Gorgeous ryokan. Breakfast hall and hotel room had nice view.

I was not sure of the place at first by seeing the pictures. But it was very nice and the people were very friendly. The place was very clean and we were very comfortable. The spot to be. Everything is walking distance

Unbelievably great services, amazing food, brilliant staff

It was a great experience to stay in a traditional inn. And we loved the traditional breakfast. The public bath was very clean and relaxing after a long day seeing the sights. Location was very central and easy to walk to many different areas. Staff was extremely welcoming and helpful and I would stay here again if I could!

Mr Kata at the front deak is very helpful and courteous. Clean Ryokan with wonderful kaiseki breakfast.

Fantastic service. Accomodated a lot for us

Really enjoyed our stay at this Classic small ryokan - older facility but this is as classic as it gets for a nice ryokan. 5 of us stayed in a tatami room for 2 nights . The meals were excellent. Called ahead and they accommodated vegan meals for one of us. Kaiseki was delicious and so beautifully presented. Japanese breakfast was great too. Wonderful staff. Be prepared to walk. Subway and bus stops nearby. Subway is a good 10-15 walk. Nearby is the Nishiki market which was great to walk around and enjoy snacks and buy souvenirs. The hot public bath downstairs to relax after a long sightseeing day was wonderful. - no one was there so we enjoyed it just by ourselves each night. Convenient coin laundry was a plus. Would highly recommend to those looking for a cozy ryokan with excellent meals. Bravo to the chefs - excellent Kaiseki!

Hotel hours are too short for facilities like the onsen and coin laundry

Disappointing. Room was depressing, mats were hard and uncomfortable. The hotel controlled the temperature so they would blast heat from midnight to noon so we had to turn the system off and open the rickety window to cool the room so we could sleep and street noise was unavoidable. No lotions in the bathroom so had to buy one. Noticed stains on the pillows. Liked the green tea bags and cookies they left after servicing. Electric water heater with hot water always available. Did not experience the dinner or breakfast. Walked to Tullys for coffee in the morning. Close to Nishiki market and the mall.

It was a very unique stay in a ryokan and onsen, the staff was very helpful and welcoming , and welcomed us with a tea ceremony in our room and gave us traditional japanese robe.

great traditional room. however there wasn't a lot of space once it was converted into "bedroom". my kids loved the onset. the staff was really helpful and gave us lots of recommendations. breakfast was no the best as just bread and boiled egg but it was OK I would stay again as location was good and staff helpful.

This was our first time staying at a ryokan, and it was a cool experience. Your bedding is laid out on the tatami mats by the staff at night. We had a kaiseki meal the first night and it was pretty nice, wearing our yukata and enjoying our multi-course meal in our room. Our room was really spacious. In addition to a traditional table where you sit on the tatami mat, there was also a table with two chairs. And the amenities included a mini fridge. Our bathroom was clean, and we had access to the public baths which we used on our first night. Overall, the hotel itself is really nice and clean, and located in a great location, near the Nishiki Market. Our room felt slightly dated but it was clean and comfortable. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay at a ryokan.

The service here is amazing and the gentleman with the glasses at the front (possibly the owner) is one of the best human beings you’ll deal with in the service industry. Extremely helpful and he’s funny too (I didn’t get his name). The room is big and I recommend using a few futons as one is too thin to sleep on for anyone that weighs closer to 90kgs or more. Onsen is nice and although a little small, it was clean and nobody was in there when I used it. Breakfast is light yet you can opt in for the Japanese breakfast for a small price and do it if you haven’t had one before. Enjoy.

Very good location. It's right next to a popular Nishiki market.

Very good if someone want to experience a Ryokan accomodation.

服務人員很nice, 地點就在錦市場旁邊, 走路也可以到烏丸四條站搭機場巴士, 距離地鐵也很近, 十分方便 We love Japanese hotels, hotel staff provided very warm and nice service, the location is great and convenient, it's a good tour for my family, 3 of us ^^

To avoid, really dirty and breakfast consists of bread and jam!!

It was a nice ryokan(the first I've ever stayed in). For some reason I thought there would be more explanation of tradition and serving of food. My reservation said I would get breakfast. I did not get the traditional Japanese breakfast. Instead I just got some bread and coffee. You had to pay extra which I was unaware of.

Great place to experience a ryokan! Staff was super helpful with this family with 10 bags! Very clean, including the public bath. Location was super close to shopping district. Great way to experience Japan and Kyoto!

The onsen and brands of shampoo, body wash are if high quality. The breakfast was really good and the location is wonderful as we were within walking distance to Gion, Nishiki Market as well as main shopping district.

Was very disappointed. This Inn has definitely seen better days, it felt very drab. It said it could fit six, but we were cramped at three people. The teeny seating area overlooking the maintenance shaft of the building opposite only afforded two seats. But the biggest disappointment was the location, it was only close to an alley like lane of shops and restaurants, which we loved, but far from all of the sites. It was a few blocks walk to the closest bus station, and a taxi ride to the nearest train. The breakfast was dismal, in an uninspired room, just really took the enjoyment out of Kyoto. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, but for all the other points I can’t recommend this Inn. There are much better Inns around Kyoto and Nara that far exceed this one.

Beautiful ryokan tucked perfectly in Kyoto. 10 minute walk from Kyoto Station, and minutes from two different shopping/eating districts. It was well worth the experience! The staff were arguably the most accommodating hotel staff I have ever encountered. They held our bags before our check in time so we could go explore the city! The room itself was marvelous. Traditional tatami flooring, tea ceremony in a kimono, and mat bedding all laid out for you. There is even a traditional bathhouse for free! Very worth it, I would highly recommend.

Nice ryokan, friendly staff, however the room is a bit dusty

staff好友善，traditional Japanese accommodation with tatami 夜晚會幫我地鋪好，朝早執房會執番入櫃，不過如果瞓慣床比較軟會唔習慣 樓下有大浴場，特別係京都都係行路為主，返到酒店有地方浸浴成個人舒服好多 離錦市場一條直路，兩分鐘左右就到，附近行十分鐘都有車站去四周，所以好方便

Lovely hotel near Nishiki market and walking distance to tube. Very clean.. lovely onsen.

We had a fabulous time here. The front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to give us directions, and recommendations. The onsen was amazing and relaxing! Our room was spacious and comfortable.
