• Shari (7/5): Het ideale hotel om als een echte Japanner te overnachten. - Het hotel ziet er langs de buitenkant echt typisch Japans uit. Ook vanbinnen is het hotel traditioneel ingericht en dit wordt doorgetrokken naar de hotelkamers. Als je zoals wij kiest voor een kamer met futonbedden, slaap je zoals een echte Japanner dat doet met een dun matrasje op de grond. Ik was om eerlijk te zijn wel bang voor hoe dat ging meevallen, maar het was een heel fijne ervaring. Zowel ik als mijn gezinsleden hebben heel goed geslapen en geen last gehad van onze rug (ik moet er wel bij zeggen dat ik sowieso meer fan ben van harde matrassen dus die ervaring verschilt van persoon tot persoon). Het personeel in het hotel is super vriendelijk, behulpzaam en ze spreken ook allemaal perfect Engels (wat niet evident is in Japan). Wat ook heel fijn was waren de grote paraplu's die voorzien zijn aan de ingang van het hotel; deze kan je vrij nemen indien het regent. Het raam op de slaapkamer kon tevens geopend worden voor wat frisse lucht en dit was wel fijn (het enige hotel dat wij hebben bezocht waar dit kon!) De badkamer zelf was een tegenvaller. Op zich was deze groot genoeg (voor Japanse standaarden dan), maar de douche kon een extra poetsbeurt gebruiken; er waren nog verschillende haren op de muur terug te vinden van de vorige gasten. Ook de douchekop viel enorm hard tegen; de waterstraal was miniem en niet echt krachtig, wat ervoor zorgde dat je haren wassen als vrouw behoorlijk traag verliep. Op de tatamimatten mag je niet lopen met je schoenen en je mag ook geen koffers hierop rollen of openen. Dit zorgde er bijgevolg voor dat er nog maar weinig ruimte overbleef waar je je koffers kon openleggen om ze uit te pakken. Iets anders dat wij heel ergerlijk vonden: het opmaken van de bedden. De eerste keer op de kamer krijg je eerst de 'ruimte' om alles uit te pakken en dan daarna maak je je bed op (hiervoor is een handleiding voorzien). Dit was op zich geen probleem! Maar de dag erna zijn we 's ochtends heel vroeg vertrokken om de stad te verkennen en zijn we pas in de vroege avond teruggekeerd. We waren alle 3 redelijk moe en toen we aankwamen zagen we dat ze onze bedden opnieuw hadden opgeruimd. Het laatste dat je wilt doen na een vermoeiende dag sightseeing is opnieuw 3 bedden moeten opmaken. En dit gebeurde dus elke dag van ons verblijf, dus dit was vervelend. Een laatste minpuntje voor ons was dat er geen water was voorzien op de slaapkamer. In de gemeenschappelijke ruimte kon je dit wel gratis terugvinden, maar voor ons is het een meerwaarde als het sowieso al aanwezig is op de slaapkamer.
• Robert (9/5): Very good place to stay in koyto - Good location, excellent staff Nothing
• Marley (9/5): -
• gwendolyne (8/5): - L'emplacement était idéal pour visiter Kyoto. La disponibilité du personnel pour répondre à nos questions et les services proposés. La décoration de l'hôtel. La chambre disposait d'une fenêtre basse et petite au sol et d'une autre plus grande mais ne s'ouvrant que très peu.
• Francesca (8/5): Ryokan confortevole e comodo. - Lo staff davvero disponibile ed efficiente. Esperienza in kimono davvero bella!! Doccia enorme e comodissima. Ci sarebbe piaciuto qualche confort aggiuntivo in più, tipo la possibilità di bere una tisana invece del solo tè.
• Russell (6/5): Uncomfortably Cramped Bedroom - The staff were very welcoming and cordial, making efforts to be of assistance. The property was located within walking distance of several attractions and a short cab ride from others. The kitchen staff promptly served us breakfast each day and put fresh ice in our water bottles. The room was barely larger than the bed, which made it very awkward to move around with our luggage on the floor. My wife and I had to coordinate our movements in the room in order for the other to reach the closet or the bathroom. Also, the general atmosphere around the property seemed more like a youth hostel than a mid-priced hotel.
• Marion (9/5): -
• Ijaz (10/5): -
• Mihaela (9/5): - Excellent location and facilities! Beautiful room and staff very helpful. We enjoyed being out on the roof top terrace every evening!
• Shing Fung Alvern (10/5): -
• miranda (10/5): Stupendo, soprattutto il food tour tasting - Abbiamo adorato la stanza, la pulizia e i servizi (soprattutto il private Bath la sera). Lo staff gentile e disponibile, rispondono subito alle mail. Ci hanno organizzato il transfer delle valigie grandi a Tokyo e parlano bene inglese. Menzione d'onore per il food tour guidato con Jason, americano che vive in Giappone da 30 anni: è stata la vera "Kyoto experience", ci ha fatto assaggiare tante pietanze che mai avremmo provato e ci ha spiegato le tradizioni e usanze giapponesi. Se alloggiate qui di giovedì, prenotate assolutamente questo tour!
• alyla (8/5): Esperienza autetica a Kyoto - La struttura è molto bella e autentica, il personale è molto attento e disponibile. Abbiamo fatto la colazione che consiglio come esperienza. Dormire sul futon e quindi sul tatami non è l'esperienza di comfort migliore della mia vita ma comunque è un'esperienza autentica giapponese che andava vissuta ma suppongo ci siano futon più comodi di quelli in dotazione. Andava tutto bene.
• Daniela (10/5): -
• Agripina (10/5): Worthy of stay and experience - Everything. Their ryokan feel vibe was very satisfying. The amenities, i hope they have soft bristle toothbrush
• Kelly-Anne (10/5): -
• Katharina (10/5): - A beautiful traditional room – we felt very much at home here! Good size, cosy lighting. Excellent location
• Vincent (8/5): Bon hôtel - Personnel sympa et aux petits soins, emplacement parfait. Décor authentique. Chambre un peu vieillotte, pas aussi récente que ce que ce que montraient les photos, lits futons pour les enfants basiques, ambiance d’un Ryokan est sympa mais inconvénient du bruit interne et externe qui peut déranger.
• Donna (5/5): Clean rooms with good location, Unfortunately is was the noise each night that let this place down - Location noise level. We had to ask to move rooms, due to the owner living above our room, making loud noise at 1am every night waking us up.
• KALLIOPI (10/5): - We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this traditional ryokan. The staff were truly exceptional—attentive, kind, and made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The atmosphere was simply magical, offering an authentic and peaceful Japanese experience that we will never forget. Our only regret is that we booked just one night—we would have loved to stay longer! Without a doubt, we would choose this place again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable stay in Japan.

• FREDERIC (10/5): -
• SO YOON (9/5): -
• kirsten (9/5): Super - Wat een lief personeel! Eigenlijk viel niks ons tegen, maar let op de futons zijn vrij dun. Dus ligt op een dun matje op de grond, maar dat hoort een beetje bij de ervaring.
• Nguyen (10/5): -
• Sara (10/5): Highly recommend starting here! Great experience!! - Clean, great location, fabulous staff, very cozy. Can’t think of anything.
• Darryn (9/5): -
• Alexis (8/5): - La ubicación está muy bien Las habitaciones son muy rudimentarias y me he dado cuenta que no puedo dormir en un futón japonés...
• Jane (9/5): - The Staff were super friendly, the location to Gion was great, was a lovely traditional ryokan. Nothing
• Skylar (10/5): -
• MIN CHANG (8/5): -
• Neil (10/5): Will definitely stay here when visiting Kyoto soon. Have recommended this place to our friends who plan to visit this w - The staff were so nice and helpful and willing to listen. The room and facilities were very clean. Location is near the heart of Kyoto and very quiet and safe at night. None
• jessica (9/5): - La chambre était propre ainsi que l ensemble du bâtiment. Deux membres du personnel, Pierre et Hugo, parlaient le français ce qui a facilité les choses, notrmment pour le transport de nos bagages à l hôtel suivant qui d ailleurs a été un service parfait. Merci, pour la liste des restaurants donnée lors du check in, nous en avons choisit trois où nous avons très très bien mangé. La dégustation de thé était une très belle expérience.
• Nicola (9/5): -
• Christine (10/5): -
• Helene (8/5): Traditional Ryokan stay - Very traditional and felt very calm Staff were very helpful and welcoming Felt a bit pricy. Location wasn’t as central as thought so walked a lot more to get to places
• Diana Rosa (10/5): Excelente estancia !!!!! - Primeramente dar las gracias a todo el staff, principalmente a Pierre, que nos aconsejó excelentes sake y cervezas de Kioto y a las chicas en recepcion, muy amables, nos recomendaron sitios, incluso avisaron a mi sgte hotel de que había olvidado un bolso, a todos, muchas gracias por la excelente estancia. La ubicación está bien, a 10mn de la estación de metro, con Lauwson justo a 2mn. Habitación espaciosa, muy limpia, tal cuál el las fotos. Tiene servicio de laundry por ellos mismos, lo que es un puntazo para aprovechar todo el tiempo posible . El desayuno esta muy rico, te dan 3 opciones, nosotros escogimos siempre el americano,delicioso, es con reserva previa y hay que elegir el rango de hora en que se hará. La almohada, un poco dura y muy elevada. Tengo problemas de cervicales y esa me fué fatal.
• Cris (10/5): - El personal era superamable. Todo el hotel era precioso. Dormimos en una habitación tradicional y nos encantó, los futones eran muy cómodos. El baño privado es pequeñito, pero está muy bien para un momento de relax.

• Crystal (9/5): - Loved the Japanese style room - the futon was comfortable
• Anthony (10/5): Emplacement top et hôtel superbe - Franchement rien à dire la chambre japonaise superbe et confortable. L’emplacement top Le personnel très sympathique Ça aurait été bien d’inclure le petit déjeuner au moment de la réservation ou en tous cas de le proposer. Mais c’est un détail.
• Gorka (9/5): -
• Ashley (8/5): Modern, clean, convenient Ryokan - The room was very large and the staff were very friendly. The location was walkable to multiple points of interest in Kyoto. It provided a good atmosphere of a traditional ryokan but with modern amenities. Honestly, it was significantly more modern than I was expecting, and I was hoping for something more traditional as an experience. This modernness could be a pro for other travelers.
• Nicola (10/5): -
• Hervé (9/5): - Cet hôtel très bien placé nous a beaucoup plu pour son aspect traditionnel et confortable. De plus, le personnel était très compétent et aimable.
• Vicki (10/5): A great traditional Japanese stay. - This ryokan not only offers traditional Japanese style accommodation but also a range of cultural experiences which added to the stay. It is easy walking to Nikishi Markets and subway. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Alexander (10/5): -

• Lucja (10/5): Great location and traditional atmosphere. - Traditional Japanese hotel - very quiet although in the city center. The hotel charges for keeping the luggage after the checkout l.
• Kirsten (8/5): -
• azucena (7/5): Buena ubicación - La ubicación está perfecta y el personal es super amable El onsen en mi opinión no merece la pena es una bañera pequeña. Además, al llegar sin preguntar, nos dijeron que nos habían hecho upgrade de la habitación y al llegar no era cierto, no nos gustó ese detalle.
• Gabriela (10/5): It was what I was looking for! - The location. It’s walkable to most of the tourists attractions. 10-15 min walk to pontocho alley and Kamo River area.
• Susana (9/5): Tradicional. Comodo, bien ubicado. Gran experiencia - Todo Nada
• Hsin Yu (7/5): - 床有點硬 枕頭有點軟,需要自己鋪床

• Celina (10/5): Excellent séjour en famille, parfait et à refaire ! - Excellent emplacement, très agréable, magnifique et calme, proche des commerces et restaurants. Hôtel qui fut parfait en famille, les enfants ont adoré. Le petit-déjeuner était excellent. Nous reviendrons sans aucun doute. Rien. Tout était parfait.
• Andrew (10/5): - The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. The overall quality of the establishment was very good.. Great place to enjoy the serene atmosphere and gorgeous photo opportunities everywhere you looked. We stayed in a Japanese room and found it comfortable. Only downside was the bedding was a little short for a taller person (im 6'1", 184cm). The staff accommodated by supplying extra bedding.
• Otto (9/5): Interesante - Limpieza, experiencia de alojarse en un ryokan Es realmente incómodo dormir en el suelo, podría explicitarse más eso.
• gioele (6/5): - Posizione perfetta, acqua sempre disponibile.
• Amala (6/5): Average - Location was good. Breakfast was average. But if one didnt book the night before one couldn't get the time slot. Or thereby breakfast Room was not as nice as other Ryokans we had stayed in. No real space to
• Remco Eijssen (8/5): - We stayed here as a family of four with two young children. We booked the junior suite with a double bed and two futons. Check-in went very smoothly, with extremely helpful and friendly staff who also gave us great tips about the neighborhood, including restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was not included but could be booked a day in advance, with a choice between continental, Japanese, or American options. We tried it on the first morning and it was good, although with so many options nearby, we didn’t feel the need to repeat it. The breakfast area was spacious and the service was good. Our room was on the second floor and easily accessible by both elevator and stairs. The beds were very comfortable, and there was enough space for our suitcases. The room was cleaned very neatly every day. We did have to make up the futons ourselves each evening, but that was quick and easy. The shower was very luxurious, and the room had fine air conditioning. There was limited closet space to properly unpack for multiple days, so we mostly lived out of our suitcases. There was, however, space for coats near the entrance. The street could be a bit noisy as it’s on a busier road, but the room could be well darkened, and we experienced very little disturbance overall.
• Sorel (7/5): Great location - Great Japanese breakfast, solid location, and nice spacious common areas. This is more a mashup of a hotel w elements of a hostel (common areas where travellers can hang out and share stories) than a ryokan. The only ryokan part of it is being in a tiny room sleeping on the floor. It looks like an investor bought the property and branded it as a “ryokan-style” place to jam in more chargeable rooms than typical hotels w beds would otherwise permit. If you want a ryokan experience, look elsewhere. If you’re ok sleeping on the floor in a solid location with decent amenities and a great Japanese breakfast, this fits the bill.
