壬生宿 MIBU-JUKU Shichijo-Umekoji

unique and clean

The room was very nice, the bathroom was very nice , I'd say overall it was a great stay! Free dessert for booking, nice little park across the way. And as always a convenience store a short walk away for late night snacks.

It faces a street and the door that leads out had a set of stairs going up to our room so sometimes you would hear cars and the cross walk beeps. Once in the room with the AC on I stopped noticing it.

Large spaces inside the room

it was on a main street and the main door was not very well insulated so all the noises from outside could be heard.

As ryokan-style accommodation, the room had a lot of character. We enjoyed the traditional Japanese features such as the yukata robes, the tatami mats and the wooden bath. It was immaculately clean. The kitchen was small but met our needs. The hotel is located fairly close to Kyoto rail station and next to a very pleasant park.

The room was somewhat lacking in daylight, due to a tall fence outside the window (although on the plus side this did also afford privacy). The futon-style beds were a little hard for us, and the low chairs and table quite challenging for our ageing bones! However, this is all part of the character of the hotel.

Clean and the bath

So noisy, you can hear everything! Every person come in every person walk up the stairs every flush of a toilet everything ! Not an ideal place if you want to sleep and also a few signs around asking people to be quite wouldn’t go a miss just as you can literally hear everything, beds aren’t comfy literally can feel my hip bone on the floor

The bath, bedding and traditional feel of the accommodation
