"Superbe"

10.0

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette maison japonaise authentique qui fut le meilleur logement de notre voyage au Japon. Nous avions hâte d’y aller et n’avons pas été déçus !! Les futons étaient très confortables. Il y avait assez de place pour mettre nos valises. L’hôte est très attentif et a pris en charge l’envoi de nos bagages (service Yamato). L’établissement n’est pas situé au cœur du Kyoto touristique mais c’était un avantage pour nous car ça permet de loger dans un quartier plus résidentiel, de s’éloigner de la foule et d’accéder au Kyoto du quotidien tout en restant aux portes du centre. Les transports sont très efficaces, le bus au coin de la rue nous emmenaient à nos point d’intérêt en une vingtaine de minutes. Si c’était à refaire nous choisirions à nouveau de loger dans cet endroit superbe sans hésitez !!

"Chaleureux et propre"

9.0

Superbes chambres, propres et le propriétaire est a l’écoute de tous vos besoins! On sy sent bien.

Un peu plus éloigné du centre donc prévoir des plus longs déplacements en autobus, mais tres proche de l’arrêt de bus.

"Hébergement traditionnel au top !"

9.0

L'accueil et la disponibilité de l'hôte, le bus a 2 minutes a pieds, le calme du quartier et la proximité avec le pavillon d'or (15min en bus). La propreté des lieux

Même si on s'y attend avec cet hébergement traditionnel, l'Isolation phonique n'est pas vraiment efficace entre les chambres et les gens a l'étage étaient plutôt bruyants durant leurs déplacements (a toute heure)

"Peaceful retreat with great benefits!"

8.0

Great, simple and clean ryokan. Shared facilities are ample and good quality. Out of town but close to bus stops and the subway is 900m away. Good local food options, and many good sites are easy to visit from here. Very helpful staff. They also have the 1 day bus and subway passes available for purchase.

It's very quiet and relaxing, but one of the best things when travelling is conversing with other travellers. The emphasis on being quiet did not encourage this.
