"Bien, estuvo agradable."

8.0

La habitación era muy grande, lo cual es todo un lujo en Japón. Muy silencioso, agradable, con posibilidad de lavar la ropa y calentar comida. Nevera en la habitación y buena calefacción. El dueño muy atento.

Quizás que esté un poco lejos de centro de Kioto, pero eso ya lo sabía cuando lo réservé. La almohada no me convenía mucho.

"Amazing stay at Rakucho Ryokan"

10.0

Katsunori-san is the heart and soul of Rakucho Ryokan. Always friendly and helpful, maintaining the Ryokan in perfect shape. The rooms are good, with a mini-fridge, futons, and space to have your bags. The location is good if you want peace after a day of going around Kyoto. If you want to be in the center of it all, then maybe not for you. It's more easily reachable by bus, and has a couple of Konbini about 7-10 minutes away. The cleanliness was also amazing
