Guest Reviews

• Antonella (10/5): Eccezionale, una splendida sorpresa - La struttura è favolosa, il futon è molto più comodo di quanto mi aspettassi, la camera è spaziosa e la struttura mette a disposizione uno yukata per ogni ospite. La colazione tradizionale viene servita ogni mattina ed è molto ricca. La posizione è perfetta, proprio a due passi della stazione. Ho provato anche il loro onsen, veramente rilassante e rigenerante, perfetto dopo una giornata passata ad esplorare la città. Questo è stato uno degli alloggi migliori durante il mio viaggio in Giappone, consigliatissimo Onestamente mi è piaciuto tutto, non ho particolari note da dover fare
• jshiang (8/5): -
• Fernando (10/5): Lugar recomendado - La atención y el lugar fueron excelentes Nada
• Marie (8/5): A very pleasant and quiet ryokan, not too far from Kyoto station. - Staff were very kind and helpful. They allowed me to leave my luggage after checkout time, which simplified my transfer to another hotel.
• Agathe (6/5): -
• Sonia (8/5): - Superb staff, extremely helpful. Nice public bath, almost always empty (end of April). The room is spacious and all the necessary facilities are provided, even the yukata The ventilation system for the a/c is quite loud, so you either have to wear earplugs to sleep or ask the staff to turn the fans off, but then the a/c (it’s quite retro) won’t work so it gets quite hot in there room
• joelle (8/5): - Très proche de la gare et donc de tous les transports. Personnel accueillant et disponible. Petit déjeuner traditionnel à l'image du Ryokan (pas besoin de déjeuner tellement il est varié et copieux). J'ai particulièrement apprécié ce côté traditionnel avant de repartir.
• Sude Naz (10/5): - Superrr freundliche Mitarbeiter 🫶🏻🤗
• mickaël (8/5): Séjour formidable - Le onsen a dispo , la bienveillance et le fait que le personnel est toujours près a vous aider peut importe l'heure et l'urgence❤️ Seul hic mais ça ne concerne que moi et pas mon conjoint je n'ai pas trop aimé dormir sur le tatami.
• Kenny (9/5): - location is close to Kyoto station and staffs are wonderful wifi in my room is unusable
• Masako (9/5): 京都駅から近く和室でゆったり。疲労回復も。 - 和室がくつろげました。フロントの対応が丁寧でした。朝食が多めでよかったです。落ち着いて食べれました。 換気扇の音が少し気になりました。

• Hanane (10/5): - J’ai beaucoup aimé mon séjour dans ce ryokan ! Le personnel est très sympa, le onsen est parfait pour se détendre, superbe emplacement pour visiter la ville ! Rien
• Olga (9/5): - Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive The foutons were a little firm for my liking
• Desislava (10/5): Awesome staff, unforgettable experience at the ryokan - Place had all the amenities needed. Large room, plenty of space for your baggage, and they even provide disposable bathroom stuff. Very friendly and welcoming staff, they even wrote a goodbye letter for us in our mother language. Will definitely stay with them again next time we visit Kyoto

• XIANG GENG (9/5): - 地點方便，日式風格的旅館陳設令人感到開心，日式早餐完美，服務人員英文流利，且能迅速提供協助；不過畢竟是老旅館，有些東西舊，有使用痕跡也是難免，瑕不掩瑜，值得再次住宿
• Papadopoulos (9/5): -
• Nicola (7/5): Tanto cuore e cortesia - Il vero valore aggiunto di questa struttura è lo staff: di una gentilezza fuori dal comune. Sentirsi augurare "buon viaggio" in italiano con un sorriso smagliante al momento del check-out mi ha fatto dimenticare ogni difetto. Ho apprezzato molto anche la cura per l'ospite: asciugamani e kit di cortesia in abbondanza, e un corner reception sempre fornito di acqua fresca, tè e succhi di frutta gratuiti. Anche i dettagli "vintage" in camera, come il condizionatore e la cassaforte d'epoca, hanno un carattere unico che fa scena nonostante il peso degli anni. La struttura è decisamente vecchiotta e i segni del tempo sono evidenti ovunque: arredi e plastiche sono visibilmente ingialliti. La nota più dolente è stata però il Wi-Fi: la rete è presente sulla carta, ma all'atto pratico in camera è come se non ci fosse, risultando del tutto inutilizzabile. Se avete bisogno di connessione per lavoro o pianificazione, è un problema. Non avendo usato il bagno pubblico non posso valutarlo, ma in generale l'edificio avrebbe bisogno di una bella rinfrescata per stare al passo coi tempi.

• Stefano (9/5): -
• Stefano (8/5): - Probably good value for money. Staff was nice and it is only few minutes walking from Kyoto station. It has almost everything you need. It is very old style. Probably nothing has been changed for such a long time and gives you a bit of sad feeling/vibe.
• KEIKO (8/5): また泊まりたい旅館です！ - 宿泊前の問合せにフロントの方がとても親切な対応をしてくれて、泊まる前から旅館に行くのを楽しみにしていました。 ロケーションも京都駅から歩いてすぐで、途中にコンビニも幾つかあり、旅館周辺には飲食店もあり便利で良かったです。 ロビーには無料のドリンク(コーヒー、水、ジュースなど)が置いてあり助かりました。 チェックイン前に大きい荷物を預かってくれて、部屋に入れてくれていたので大変助かりました。 チェックアウトの時はフロントに宅配便の伝票があり荷物が簡単に送れました。 スタッフの方の対応が全体的にとても良かったので、また泊まりたいと思います。 全館空調なのか部屋での空調の温度調整が出来ず暑かったので、窓を少し空けて網戸で寝ました。 あと、ドアに覗き穴がなく、ノックされても室内から誰が来たのか見えないのが少し不安でした。 全体的に少し設備が古い感じがしました。(でもロケーションを考えるとリーズナブルなお値段なので、、)
• Daniel (6/5): A satisfactory stay with really good and attentive staff who keep the hotel in a clean condition and a truly great break - The hotel was in a well positioned location within Kyoto, and everything was still kept very clean in both the private and public spaces. The staff were all still very well trained and easy to communicate with and they give a really great heated breakfast meal that was different each day. The property falsely advertises it’s quality level of the rooms and public spaces with lack of too many images. The rooms themselves, although having a nice old aesthetic, are clearly from many decades ago and when the building was constructed and are quite clearly worn out and smell old. Very much that old person home kind of smell. This was very much the case for my room‘s bathroom. The public hallways, baths and some parts of the dining area, although still Japanese clean, are also very clearly worn out and haven’t kept up with quality/demands of the 21st century and definitely could use replacing or renovation. The heater in my room separate from the manually controlled humidity fan, was constantly running in my room and you could only control whether you wanted it to be cooler or not, but not if you wanted to turn it off. Managed to get a member of staff to help with sorting it out which they did very promptly to help lower its noise, but it was still a distraction and clearly a very old product for many decades ago that looked very retro and not in a good way. I can only assume this is the case in many of the other rooms and is something that needs to be replaced.

• Dillon (10/5): I would definitely stay again. It's such great value and felt like a home - I loved the breakfast. There were large portions and it was delicious. The rooms were really comfortable and I enjoyed every minute of staying there Some TV channels were not working
• Kattaz (5/5): Boa localização, sem conforto. - Localização As camas estilo japonês tradicional não foram confortáveis. O café da manhã era fixo sem opções.
• Anssi (10/5): - Sain aivan mielettömän hyvää palvelua ja paikka oli juuri mitä odotin. Vanha ja tyylikäs japanilaistyylinen majatalo. Erityiskiitos minun auttamisesta kun minulla oli kadonnut tavaroita. Ei mikään
• Mike H (9/5): -
• Mike H (9/5): Great location, a proper traditional setup - The staff are lovely and it's in a great location, a short walk from the main station. Some lovely restaurants nearby. The onsen on the top floor was lovely to relax in, and the breakfasts were excellent (as long as you like Japanese food) Well, it's a Ryokan, which means you won't have anything to sit on that isn't floor level, and the futon mattress is on the hard floor. As a sixty year old I found myself wishing for a real chair. But that's what we signed up for and I can't fault them for that.
• Rae (10/5): Kyoto Convenience - The location was an easy walk from Kyoto station. There were many izakaya close by and a very beautiful temple almost next door. The staff were an absolute delight, so polite and helpful even though I have no Japanese. My room was very spacious, I did have the full ryokan experience which was delightful. There is an onsen which was also great. I had a view from my window of the sky tower. If you enjoy walking the Gion area was not too far. I was very happy with my stay here.
• Mateusz (3/5): Borderline scam. - Good location, close to Kyoto station. The hotel is not a ryokan, it's just an old, crumbling hotel with rooms covered in cheap plastic tatami pretending to be a ryokan. The bathroom was dirty, with black mold growing on the shower curtain. Our room was supposed to be 26m², in reality it was tiny, about 16-18 m², which clearly is fraudulent. There is no A/C, only tiny air purifier and broken heater that gives off awful noise all day and night. Futons are the thinest I've ever seen, which together with fake, hard tatami caused back pain. The staff is superficially nice, but only one person speaks any English and they were either unable or unwilling to help with problems mentioned above. After mentioning the lack of A/C one staff member assured us in broken English that he will take care of that and nothing happened.
• Krista (10/5): Feels like getting home after a long day in Kyoto - Being a first-timer in Japan and Kyoto, traditional Ryokan was on my to-do list. I booked this place due to the convenient location, a short walk from the railway station. The first greeting from the staff was friendly and they helped me go through the check-in process with my broken Japanese. All of the staff members were super nice and accommodating. I enjoyed the traditional setting of the place. The onsen was a place to relax after hitting 30,000 steps in the city. The room was spacious and cozy. In other hotels I had gotten used to modern luxuries, but this was like staying at home. I liked the old-styled atmosphere, it definitely gave a cozy vibe. If you’re a taller person, remember to mind your head on door frames. Learnt this the hard way.
• Jack (8/5): -
• Linda (9/5): - Quaint traditional Suggestions: some attention needed to maintenance of simple things like touch up paint on scratches/chips on tables and chairs. Even on the stand up inn sign outside lobby will spruce up the look so it doesn’t look old and drab. Maybe some black or red lacquered paint on the top of stained round tea set container in the room will freshen it. The seat cushions are hard, not so comfortable. However, the inn does have good simple traditional charm.
• 敏行 (8/5): 駅から近くて昭和レトロな旅館 - 畳の上で過ごす経験ができるところ。 駅から近いところ。 TVが小さい。
• Marco (8/5): Toller Aufenthalt im klassischen japanischen Stil - Sehr freundliches Personal, steht’s zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist perfekt, direkt an einer Haltestelle für den Bus und 5 min zu Fuß zum Hbf. Die Einrichtung ist etwas älter, was ggf. den ein oder anderen stören könnte.
• Vanessa (9/5): Great value! - Staff very helpful and courteous. Location was convenient. Property clean.Amenities sufficient. Bathroom and hallways can use updating.
• Stefan (9/5): -
• Drago (9/5): - Zanimiva nastanitev. Zajtrk nekako,soba v drugem objektu še kar v redu
• Grosjean (8/5): Belle expérience d'un ryokan - L'hôtel est idéalement situé proche de la gare, de style japonais avec des bains au 7ème étage. Le personnel est très sympathique et très à l'écoute des clients. Et le petit déjeuner japonais est grandiose. Point un peu négatif est la proximité de la route. Le bruit de la circulation est un peu dérangeant pour qqun qui habite à la campagne. Mais je suppose que c'est normal.
• ernie (9/5): zentral gelegenes orignal-japanisches ryokan mit gutem preis-leistungs-verhältnis, - schönes ryokan in der nähe des bahnhofs. sehr nettes personal. authentische atmosphäre. und der chef begrüsst mich sogar am morgen beim frühstück auf deutsch. das frühstück ist lecker, sehr japanisch und lecker. sehr gute preis-leistungs-verhältnis. wlan funktionierte in meinem zimmer nicht so gut.

• Polivchak (10/5): - recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful ryokan, and I must say it was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and attentive to my needs. Their kindness made me feel at home right away, and they were always ready to assist with any request. The location of the hotel is fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions while still offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere. I really enjoyed the chance to experience traditional Japanese culture in such a central and convenient spot. Staying at a ryokan was a completely different experience from other hotels, and it was a delight to try something new. The room was charming, with tatami mats and sliding doors, creating an authentic and calming atmosphere. The meals were also a highlight, offering delicious traditional Japanese dishes that were both beautifully presented and full of flavor.
• Maciej (9/5): - Fantastyczna obsługa, sento dostępne dla gości, lokalizacja bardzo blisko dworca Czystość pokoju mogłaby być minimalnie lepsza
• Narumi (10/5): -
• Raveloson (10/5): Ryokan très bien, proche de centre d'intérêt - L'emplacement à 10 mn de marche de la gare. Ryokan est écrit en Japonnais🤩, heureusement qu'on avait demandé au passant L'accueil du personnel, respectueux. Le bain public gratuit. Les bus 100- 101 - 206 - 205 ( à prendre devant la gare) pour visiter les temples, les centres commerciaux, le marché Nishiki, Pontochon, autour de Gion . Chambre est fait tous les jours si vous voulez . Fournis: peignoir, brosse à dents chausson, thé Je recommande cet Ryokan Pas du tout apprécier : j'ai réservé cet Ryokan, pour le petit déjeuner et l'ambiance de Ryokan. Sur le site de booking, le petit déjeuner est inclus,, j'avais montré ma réservation, et c'est bien stipulé La personne de l'accueil nous a dit que non, il n'est pas inclus et Il fallait payer 2200 ¥ par personne et par jour. J'avais fait une réclamation auprès de booking , 2 fois , pas de réponse jusqu'à aujourd'hui, pas de geste commercial, rien. Un peu déçu

• KaiserX7 (9/5): Excelente opción para probar un Ryokan en Kyoto - Gran opción para alojarse en un cuarto tradicional cerca de la estación de Kyoto. El Onsen fue una maravilla usarlo y las amenidades incluidad en la habitación fueron una grata sorpresa. Los yukatas que proporcionó el hotel nos gustaron mucho y los futones muy comodos El baño era más pequeño de lo esperado

• Alice (9/5): Un ryokan un peu rétro mais très sympatique - Ryokan très sympathique même si un peu rétro. La chambre était propre et suffisamment spacieuse pour deux personnes. Le personnel a été très accueillant et poli, et le petit déjeuner traditionnel était très bon.
• Watelo (10/5): Un super ryokan central et confortable - Très confortable. Sentô pour se détendre. chambre japonaise très jolie et spacieuse. Petit dej excellent. Accueil très sympathique.
• Itai (10/5): -
• Irene (8/5): A very good ryokan experience in Kyoto - The traditional ryokan breakfast is the highlight of our stay here. The lone lady serving the food is exceptionally courteous imo, she’d say thank you and stayed bowed till the lift door closes each time we’re done. The traditional room with tatami-floor and futon, provision of the kimono and jacket all add to the nice ryokan experience. The experience starts once you set foot in the hotel as we are required to change out our shoes with slippers before we can go to the reception area. The location is good as it’s just 8 mins from Kyoto station and a bus stop is also a few mins away only. The bathroom is the typical cramped type with bathtub, sink and toilet (no bidet) all with close proximity. We were asked when we’d like to have our breakfast (6am, 7am, 8am) and we chose 8am. When we got late to get to the dining hall, they called us twice about our breakfast. We can specify a later timing but one must stick to said timing.

• Klaus Moser (9/5): -
• Antonio (8/5): - Localización perfecta. Habitaciones muy amplias, estilo tradicional. El futón era demasiado delgado y duro, en otros hoteles del mismo estilo suelen ser más gruesos y cómodos.
• Noriko (5/5): 次に利用したいとは思わず｡｡ - 京都駅に近い カーテンが無いので窓の外が眺められないので圧迫感がある。 お風呂の洗い場がとにかく寒かった。
• Robbie Sims (10/5): - The staff was friendly and was easy to communicate with! The breakfast options tasted delicious the traditional futon bedding was actually pretty comfortable. It was nice to just slow down from a busy trip with the public bath! Definitely worth the stay!!

• P.mateo (7/5): - 교토역과 가깝고, 관광지 가는 버스정류장이 가깝습니다. 조식 넉넉하고 깔끔해요. 직원들 친절해요. 객실 시설이 많이 낡았습니다. 깨끗하게 관리해주지만, 세월의 흔적이 보여요.

The hotel is a bit dated and could benefit from some modern updates. The room doors are difficult to open and show signs of wear. It would be helpful to improve their functionality and appearance.
