Amazing service. Amazing experience. We had the private outdoor onsen.. can’t be beat.

Staying at Ryotei Rangetsu was a unique experience and a highlight of our trip to Japan. The property is in a great location, the service was impeccable and the meals were just unbelievable - multi course, fine dining.

Best staff experience at any hotel ever! Everything else is also top notch. 10/10 recommendation for an authentic japanese experience.

The hotel is beautiful and in a gorgeous area of Kyoto. It is walking distance to the shopping area, Monkey Park, and Bamboo forest. The staff was very caring and helpful. The rooms were so clean and comfortable. I loved my stay there and will definitely go back.

The good stuff: location was excellent, staff was very friendly: our luggage was brought to our room while we were out sightseeing, the dinner service was excellent. The little sitting area was picturesque and lovely to sit in. The bad stuff: we booked a room with an outdoor onsen as it overlooked the mountains and rivers. However, it is not very private as there are people walking the streets right in front of the onsen so you have to pull the shades and hide your view. The room next to us had an onsen as well right behind the. Bamboo wall and we could hear every word they said. The light was burnt out in the bathroom and we couldn’t see very well. Also in the pictures it looked like there was a small platform for the beds. There isn’t. Only one pillow was provided as well. The caution: this was our first stay (and probably last) in a ryokan. For $1000 a night we felt like we were camping. There is no place to rest during the day. After a long hot day of sightseeing, a shower and a rest before dinner is ideal. However your bed isn’t placed out until after dinner. For breakfast they have to come and put your bed away and the latest they will do that is at 8:30 am. We should have declined breakfast and slept in as there are great places in town to eat. There was no place to hang the hand held shower to stand up. You have to sit and shower. We should have been more discerning in our search for a ryokan. Hope this review helps someone else.

Stunning property. The room was far beyond our expectations. Very modern and spacious. The staff was outstanding and kind. The location is quiet and peaceful. Great for a relaxed trip to Kyoto.

Excellent ry

Very clean, updated room, great staff and location.
