Guest Reviews

• Michaëla (8/5): Établissement calme est agréable - Ryokan calme et bien situé, proche de plusieurs restaurants, à environ 15 minutes à pied de la gare et 10 minutes en bus. La chambre était propre et confortable. Je ne pensais pas aussi bien dormir sur un futon, ce fut une très bonne surprise. Il est possible de louer un kimono, et l’établissement propose également un bain privé sur réservation à l’avance. Je n’ai pas eu l’occasion d’en profiter, mais c’est une option intéressante à savoir. Je ne suis restée que deux nuits, mais j’ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour. Le personnel était très accueillant et attentionné. Petit conseil pour un sommeil optimal : prévoir un masque de sommeil et des bouchons d’oreille, car il n’y a pas de rideaux occultants et les murs sont assez fins.
• Antonio (7/5): -
• Laura Nelson (10/5): -
• Claire (9/5): Séjour très agréable dans un endroit plein de charme -
• Ahmet Yakup (10/5): - Good place and good staff. arigatoo
• VERHELLE (7/5): Le cadre donne l'ambiance nippone mais on aurait aimé un véritable Futon. - Le plancher et les boiseries donnent du style et de l'authenticité à cette chambre. Les luminaires sont très jolis. Tout est très propre. Nous avons eu une chambre à l'étage, côté rue. Accessible par un escalier, heureusement nous n'avions qu'un sac à dos. Le soit disant Futon n'était pas en coton mais plutôt en polyester ce qui a causé un inconfort pour le couchage. Heureusement que nous y avons passé qu'une seule nuit.
• Cindy (7/5): -
• Jessica (8/5): - Bella struttura Non c'erano tende la mattina entrava il sole
• Agathe (10/5): - Jolie chambre traditionnelle, dans un quartier calme, assez proche de la gare et à bonne distance de nombreux quartiers à visiter que nous avons pu rejoindre à pied.
• Ademar Teiji (10/5): ótimo local, ótimo atendimento -
• Claudia Eleonora (8/5): -
• magno (10/5): - the atmosphere is wonderful, and the room is very welcoming and characteristic
• Gabriele (6/5): - - clean - staff very kind - room was very little for 2 people with luggage - please change the curtains because there is too much light that comes in from surrounding building - no stairs - very expensive - minor thing because was very easy: we thought that futon was already prepared when we checked in while we need to prepare it ourselves
• Marie Noëlle (8/5): - Excellent petit déjeuner japonais, endroit calme et proche de restaurants
• Ian (10/5): - Great little place.
• talitha (8/5): -
• giovanni (8/5): Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene. - La struttura mi è piaciuta, comoda e tranquilla. Della struttura non mi è piaciuta la poca pulizia, in otto giorni hanno (pulito) per modo di dire la camera due volte.
• Weerdmeester (9/5): Prima locatie om Kyoto (en ook Nara en Osaka) te verkennen. - De locatie. Dichtbij het station van Kyoto, waardoor je ook gemakkelijk richting Nara en Osaka kon. Veel eetgelegenheden in de buurt. Winkels om de hoek. Tempels Higashi Honganji en Nishi Honganji erg dichtbij. Prima ontbijt. De grootte van de kamer voor 3 personen. Wisten we wel een beetje van tevoren.
• John (10/5): An Excellent, Authentic Experience - Very small and cozy with the nicest staff who spoke english very well. The futon and tatami were much more comfortable to sleep on than I though they would be, in fact I think it was the best sleep I had the entire trip. The toilet is somewhat outside. Full privacy is still provided, but on a rainy day was a little rough to use.

• Hajar (10/5): - Un véritable havre de paix au cœur de Kyoto. Séjourner ici a ajouté une touche de magie à mon voyage. Le calme du quartier et l'esthétique du logement sont exceptionnels. Très bien situé pour visiter les temples et les jardins. Un immense merci Rien
• Laura (7/5): - Una calle callada y lindisima. Limpio y buenos tatamis. Creo que mi queja seria por la falta de espacio, el espacio en las fotos aparenta ser mas grande de lo que realmente es.
• Claire (7/5): Bien situé ,cérémonie du thé organisée rapidement - L’emplacement proche de la gare La chambre était exiguë et manquait de rangement.
• Sergio (3/5): Non lo consiglio. - La stanza era pulita Lavabo otturato. Foto illusorie, le camera non si affacciano su nessun cortile, noi eravamo vista palazzi al secondo piano. Non abbiamo visto nessun cortile interno né ci è stato indicato dal personale della struttura. Onestamente non lo rifarei.
• Barbora (4/5): - Close to the bus stop, a shop, and a laundromat. If you want to get a good night’s sleep, do not book this accommodation. The noise can be heard all night until morning—especially from outside, from neighbors, and from a room with sliding doors, which is likely occupied by a local who makes noise all night. The windows let in light throughout the night, so the room looks as if it’s already dawn. Everything comes with an extra charge (towel replacement, luggage storage, plus you have to pay an additional tax).
• Marta (8/5): -
• Akseli (10/5): -
• Visar (10/5): - C'était une superbe expérience. L'hôtel a répondu à toutes nos attentes.
• Shannon (10/5): - We stayed in the four-bedroom apartment. The location was excellent and the size of the rooms was good. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
• Sandrine (7/5): - Le style de la chambre Dormir sur le futon. Franchement, autant dormir sur le tatami direct.
• Sephora (10/5): - Ryokan très agréable, avec une ambiance authentique et reposante. Tout était propre et bien entretenu. Le personnel était adorable, accueillant et toujours prêt à aider. Très bien situé pour découvrir Kyoto. Une très belle expérience que je recommande !
• Javier (10/5): -
• Soma (10/5): Älskade Kyoto och vi kommer gärna tillbaka för att besöka bambuskogarna och staden. - Vi älskade att bo på Roman-Kan. Det var mysigt och spännande att bo mer traditionellt japanskt. Personalen var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam med vägbeskrivning för att hitta fram. Det var en mycket enkel väg att gå fastän vi hade mycket bagage och det tog cs 15 min från stationen. Vi hade uppskattat möjligheten att få lämna kvar bagaget några timmar under utcheckningsdagen utan extra kostnad. Den var dock inte överdrivet stor men det hade varit en fin gest.
• Jannis (9/5): - Schöne traditionelle Unterkunft, sehr sauber, freundlicher Empfang, kann man auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
• Melissa (8/5): -
• Neville (8/5): - Very Traditional; good location Having to pay to store luggage on check out.
• Guest (10/5): -
• Russell (4/5): I wouldn't stay here again. - An easy 15-20 minute walk from Kyoto Station. Room was clean. The guy on reception sent us to our room in the annex and we got lost. He should have at least accompanied us to the building. We really didn't feel particularly welcome or that anyone was interested. The desk is closed from 10 pm to 9 am. Even though Japanese style, it would be nice to at least have a stool to sit on and something to block out light overnight. I wouldn't stay here again.
• Ben (7/5): -
• Leonie (5/5): Preis-leistung schlecht. Aber traditionelles Erlebnis - Ist mal ein Erlebnis auf traditioneller Weise zu schlafen. Im Vergleich zu anderen hotels ist hier das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis schlecht.
• Ahmat (10/5): Great stay for family on a budget - The reception staff were excellent - prompt communication via email / Booking.com messages & in person. The family room was lovely - plenty of space, comfy futons & functional bathroom. Bonus to have a kettle, fridge, microwave & sink in the kitchenette! The location was good, located 15mins walk to Kyoto Station ... But closer would have been even better! 😉
• Guest (7/5): -
• Doyle (8/5): Maybe my fault, but wasn’t expecting a mattress on the floor. Room up narrow stairs & no offer to assist my carrying - Location was great! Paper thin walls, so everything could be heard.
• LEE (10/5): -
• Charlotte (10/5): - Pas de rideaux dans la chambre
• Wiktor (8/5): A pleasant stay in traditional style hotel close to the heart of Kyoto - The location was very good, just a walk away from the station. The hotel was traditional style, which we really liked. Although this means that any noise is easily heard, but luckily the other guests were very considerate. The futons were very comfortable and room was quite spacious for two people. It wasn't a big issue but our room was close to another building and the light was shining into our window.
• Jonathan (9/5): Super ! J'y retournerai. - Le côté traditionnel nippon avec futon, tatami et fenetre coulissante Pratiquement aucune insonorisation
• 白石 (10/5): -
• Ander (6/5): -
• Carlos Vinicius (9/5): -
• REO (10/5): 最高だった - 内装など雰囲気がすごい良かった テレビが今回の部屋になかったけれどもよかった

• Laura (10/5): Très bon ryokan j’y retournerai. - L’ambiance traditionnelle du Japon.
• . (5/5): -
• davidson (8/5): Excellent traditional Japanese lodging experience - Lovely traditional style accomodation, staff communicative and helpful We tried cooking one day in the kitchen but the pans provided require replacing as they are not in great shape
• Elizabeth Catherine (9/5): -
• tegere (10/5): -
• Diego (8/5): -
• Societe (10/5): Super - Autre mode de vie on est dans le respect et la tradition donc pas de bruit , parfaite immersion de la culture japonaise Gros +++ : le guide dessiné a la main à l’accueil nous a bien aidé, bravo Rien
• Yuen Ting (7/5): 通風不好，隔音一般，環境有點不符預期。 - 地理位置尚算不錯，15分鐘路程可到車站 環境尚算清靜 房間的熱水壺不好使用，容易燙手。 空間太小，空氣不流通。
• Y (10/5): -
• Anne Laure (9/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix - Il est bien placé et au calme
• SANDRINE (10/5): Excellent séjour ! - Le style du bâtiment, le quartier local, calme et central La chambre, jolie et traditionnelle L’accueil du personnel qui était très agréable Le petit déjeuner, excellent et très copieux Peu de lumière du jour mais les éclairages sont très bien
• zihe (10/5): - 感谢老板的照顾 也感谢日本的出租车司机先生，捡到我的钱包并还给我，感谢🙏
• Sarah (10/5): Excellent stay in a convenient neighbourhood - Loved my stay at Roman Kan. Spacious room, comfortable futon, warm, excellent location, really lovely staff (who even took my bags to the stay and upstairs from when I was walking down the street!). I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a ryoken in Kyoto. Nil
• Maria (5/5): Great Ryokan Atmosphere, Terrible Experience with Disruptive Guests - Our stay was decent overall, but a specific incident ruined the experience. We expected the firm bedding common in ryokans, but we did not expect the total lack of noise control. On our second night, we were disturbed by guests several rooms away who were being extremely loud and inappropriate. ​Even with earplugs, I was woken up three times between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM by shouting and other disruptive noises. Both the receptionist and I were ignored when we tried to ask them to be quiet. It wasn't until I had to firmly confront them at the door at 3:00 AM that it finally stopped. The staff's inability to handle this situation was disappointing. A place of rest should never feel this chaotic.
• Maya (9/5): - נקי מאוד, אוטנטי, מיקום נפלא ושקט
• Diego (7/5): -
• Eliza (9/5): Lovely stay! Would recommend if you want to stay at a Ryokan. - Looked like the photos, was very clean and was walking distance to bus stop and metro. It was around 15-20 minute walk to Kyoto main station. The room was bigger than we thought and was very clean. It was near convenience stores and near a delicious restaurant. The walls were very thin but that was expected and did not bother us at all.
• Claire (8/5): Lovely experience for a night or two! - The check-in process was very informative and we really appreciated the additional information shared with us. The building and the room was beautiful - very traditional which is what we wanted. The location is very quiet which was lovely! We found the sleeping arrangements uncomfortable and didn’t sleep very well due to the firmness of the floor/beds. I appreciate this was part of the traditional experience but for us it was a bit too uncomfortable for two nights.
• Melgar (10/5): -
• Jeffrey (10/5): Super and great location - Didn’t have breakfast.
• benoit (8/5): - Le ryokan est petit et discret tres calme Je trouvais un peut dommage.que le restaurant ne soit pas ouvert le soir
• Sean (10/5): - Beautiful traditional hotel No heating in toilet

• Amber (7/5): -
• Clementine (8/5): Japonisant - Le quartier paisible et le style japonais de la chambre Pas de volet pour ne pas avoir de lumière le matin

• Sophia (10/5): - Loved the rooms Nothing
• selina (8/5): -
• Chiara (3/5): -
• rahayu (10/5): Gorgeous little retreat - I loved the feel of the traditional Ryokan from the entrance all the way to the futon beds. The staff was super friendly. We also did the tea ceremony and wore kimonos which they organised for us. Overall our stay was wonderful and we experienced the simplicity and calmness staying here in Kyoto. Nothing
• Beverly (7/5): - The quietness of the location
• KIRRMANN (9/5): - Le cadre est super agréable, calme et bien situé. Les bains publics à proximité sont super aussi. Le personnel étais très gentil. Possibilités de location de Kimono
• Ricardo (8/5): - All the reception and the personal working there
• Morgan (6/5): Too much light - Great location with a lot of local authenticity to the place Next door lights shone into the room all night so it was like daylight - and no way to block. Didn’t get much sleep- awful situation.
• Nguyễn (7/5): -
• mette (2/5): Deprimerende at der ikke var dagslys heledøgnet nødvendigt med elektrisk lys trods solskin udenfor - God beliggenhed Venligt personale Der var intet dagslys . Vinduerne vendte ud til smal skakt direkte til nabohuset
• BRUNO (3/5): -
• Annamaria Bottoni (6/5): -
• Elodie (1/5): il existe bien d'autres ryokan dans le quartier, voyageur passe ton chemin, ici c'est une arnaque! - café hyper cher! Aucun accueil, nous sommes face à un business rien de plus, aucun service tout est payant et pour faire de l'argent, épaisseur matelas insignifiante, on dort avec les voisins, aucun réception, aucun ménage pendant les "jours où nous sommes restés, on ne voit personne!
• Pauline (9/5): Ryokan traditionnel coup de coeur - Le cadre de l'hôtel était magnifique Le quartier était très calme Le personnel très gentil et accueillant La chambre était très propre La fenêtre n'était pas très bien isolée (le froid rentrait facilement) Il n'y a pas d'isolation phonique entre les chambres (on entend très facilement les chambres voisines)
• motorheadbanger (10/5): Perfetta. - La struttura, in stile tradizionale, è molto suggestiva e accogliente, la posizione è ottima tra la stazione e a due passi dalla metro. Molto consigliato. Mancava solo il water giapponese.
• Olivier (8/5): Très bon - L’emplacement au cœur de Kyoto tout proche de la gare L’épaisseur des futons qui méritent d’être un peu plus épais
• ガッチャン (8/5): -
