All are inclusive, which are nice. Staff members are friendly but better to hire someone whose speaking is good enough either in Japanese or English.

Only the downside was that the reception desk had many scratches. It would give a negative impression when you first walk.

"Ein absoluter Traum - wunderschönes Ryokan mitten im alten Viertel Higashiyama"

10.0

Oh wow, was soll ich sagen! Wir wurden absolut herzlich empfangen und haben uns vom ersten Moment an pudelwohl gefühlt. Die Lage mitten im alten Higashiyama District ist einfach unschlagbar. Berühmte Straßen wie Sannenzaka und Ninenzaka sowie der Kiyomizudera Tempel und das Geisha Viertel sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Gleichzeitig liegt das Ryokan sehr zentral und die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel sind ebenfalls nur ein paar Meter entfernt. Das Ryokan selbst ist unglaublich liebevoll eingerichtet. Unsere Zimmer waren riesig, super gemütlich und toll aufgeteilt. Es gibt ein großes Badezimmer mit Sitzbereich und einen separaten, privaten Onsen Bereich. Ein absolutes Highlight war für uns die supermoderne Toilette! :D Es standen uns eine große Auswahl an Getränken wie Bier, Highballs und Sake komplett kostenlos im Kühlschrank im Zimmer zur Verfügung. Der Service war von Anfang bis Ende erstklassig. Beim Check-in wurde uns alles in aller Ruhe verständlich erklärt und man hat uns direkt mit den Koffern aufs Zimmer geholfen. Es gibt vor Ort sogar eine kostenlose Weinverkostung, die wir zeitlich leider nur nicht geschafft haben. Das Frühstück war im Preis inbegriffen, was wir super fanden. Wer möchte, kann für einen geringen Aufpreis noch ein traditionelles japanisches Frühstück dazubuchen. Die Mitarbeiter und Besitzer äußerst höflich und herzlich. Selbst am Abreisetag wurde uns blitzschnell und unkompliziert ein Taxi organisiert. So lässt es sich definitiv reisen und wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen!

Ein winziges Manko, das den Aufenthalt aber überhaupt nicht abgewertet hat, waren Waschmaschine und Trockner. Unsere Wäsche wurde leider nicht ganz sauber und war selbst nach 2,5 Stunden im Trockner noch ziemlich feucht. Aber wie gesagt: Das hat dem genialen Aufenthalt absolut keinen Abbruch getan und ist meckern auf sehr hohem Niveau!

"Great location, kind staff and large room"

9.0

Great location, kind staff and very large room. The hotel is a traditional ryokan and ideally located for visiting the Gion area in Kyoto.

We didn't find the beds comfortable. We normally sleep on futons at home and wished that the futons in the ryokan were made of cotton or other natural materials.
