Guest Reviews

• Shigeko (8/5): - noise from traffic
• Javier (8/5): - Even though is an old hotel you really feel the Japanese immersion, we slept on tatami mat and they gave us Yukatas, Kyoto station is just 15 min away.
• Nolen (10/5): - Lovely traditional style hotel! The room has a very nice homely feeling and the beds are very comfortable. The location is also 15 minutes walking distance from Kyoto Station and is right across the road from the serene Nishi Hongan-ji Temple.
• Kari-Anne (4/5): - We had rooms facing the 6 lane highway so loud and dirty. Everything felt dingy and not cared for. I have stayed at multiple ryokans earlier
• John (10/5): - It felt like home
• Marcel (8/5): - Sehr schönes traditionelles Hostel mit einem Onsen.
• Nicole (10/5): - Me encantó, definitivamente regresaría y lo recomiendo ampliamente
• Rebekah (10/5): - I enjoyed staying in this ryokan, with tatami flooring and futon bed. There was a small private bathroom with bath/shower as well as a larger communal bathroom. The room had everything I needed and even a view of the amazing shrine next door.
• Alexander (8/5): - Eine alte Unterkunft mit dünnen Wänden und zentraler Lage. Hatte auch wenig Probleme mit der Sauberkeit die von anderen Besuchern strak kritisiert wurde.
• Dylan (10/5): - The place has a bath house! A ton of amenities available and good service.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good Ryokan, but... - Very warm welcome and impeccable service. On the other hand, the soundproofing is very poor and we could hear everything that was going on in the street (lots of passing cars and motorcyclists taking advantage of the straight line to accelerate). Apart from that, our room would have deserved to be renovated.
• Andreas (6/5): - Old
• seyedmohammadbagher (2/5): - I refused to stay. It was a disaster. I don’t recommend it to anyone
• Rebecca (8/5): - Traditional sleeping room
• Joachim (6/5): - Walls and windows are not soundproof and you can hear the traffic sounds.
• V9718DWbetha (10/5): Great place to stay in Kyoto - Great place and great service! If you want to experience a Japanese hotel - go for Azumaya. The hotel offers a nice rooftop for a great view of Kyoto Tower, Temple and the mountains! Very near to Shinkansen Station!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - とても充実した施設でお手頃で宿泊出来て大変満足！ お風呂も大きくて最高！
• Verified traveler (6/5): まぁまぁ。 - 私はそこまで潔癖症ではないのですが、部屋の畳には髪の毛が落ちていたり、襖などの溝にホコリがたまっているのがきになりました。 ゴールデンウィークに7名で宿泊できる施設もないと思うので、泊まることができて良かったです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 価格にしてはかなりよいと思った。機会があればまた利用したい
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 超格安で京都の和室旅館に泊まれる。決して新しくはないが不都合はない。中浴場もある。西本願寺の真向かい。共同便所(男女別)が苦にならなければ。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 一人旅 - 朝、5時半ごろ、西本願寺の鐘の音を聞けました。寺の鐘の音を聞くことがめったにありませんので、門前のお宿としての雰囲気があって、よかったです。
• CHI KEUNG (6/5): - 服務好，但地點離車站頗遠
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Dejligt fællesbad og god beliggenhed lige ved et stort tempel
• Rick (8/5): 西本願寺目の前のホテル - 部屋から西本願寺が望めるとても良い立地にあるホテルです。 前日予約だったので安く泊まることができました。 ホテル内は清掃が行き届いており、とても快適に過ごすことができました。 有難うございました。
• MEI LING (8/5): Well & Nice Hostel - Good experience and the staff can speak English & Mandarin, the service is very good and can help you to solve problem. The traffic, can get on the bus no.9 at Kyoto station and get down at 2 nos. of bus stop. After get down the bus and walk back the direction and cross the road to opposite side and turn left side. Walk in through 6 & 7 nos. of house and arrived. In other way by walk from Kyoto station to Hostel are 10-15 minute. So it is accept by us. Overall is good for me.
• singthunder (2/5): noisy hotel - The hotel is next to the big main street. The whole night I cannot sleep due to non-stop street car driving by noise. The window does not insulate the sound at all. The traffic noise is loud. The bathroom is very small. The room is small too with a bit of old room smell when we walk in. There are many sticker patches on the wall. The room needs renovate. The tatami pad is thin. I feel the back is very hard when I sleep. I paid about $350 for one night but was not comfortable
• JOENGHUI (6/5): 직원 매우 친절 시설이 ...좀... - 직원은 친절한데 너무 낡았어요. 조금 돈 더 주고 좋은 곳 예약할걸.... 가격이 싸니까 뭐.. OK .
• Verified traveler (10/5): 還不錯的住宿經驗 - 因為我們在京都旅遊淡季入住，因此住宿的人似乎很少，附近周遭人不像車站那樣繁忙。我們這次是訂沒有配置廁所的禁菸房(房號是203)，入住前看網路上的評價，本來有點擔心在大馬路旁邊會有點吵，不過我們運氣很好203不是靠著馬路所以很安靜。沒有配置廁所(房間內只有一個洗手台)，因此去公共澡堂(分男女 大家都坐著洗 洗完還有一池熱水可以泡)洗澡，也是因為住宿的人不多，蠻乾淨的，很貼近日本當地的體驗，入住時還可以免費借用日式浴衣。櫃檯的服務人員(我們只遇到其中一個)，很親切，英語溝通很容易。房間內就是整間榻榻米、一張桌子、好幾張和室椅、床墊棉被枕頭，什麼東西要放哪睡哪自己決定。一樓的公共空間有飲水機、熱水壺、免費茶包咖啡。盥洗用具(毛巾牙刷牙膏shampoo bodysoap facewashingfoam 澡堂或房間裡都有提供。有電梯。 整體而言這個價錢能買到這樣的住宿經驗還不錯。 只是在住和室就是什麼事都坐在地板上，起身不方便的人可能會有點辛苦。 交通方面，離京都車站不遠，但就是大概要走個八九分鐘；要搭公車的話也是大概要走八九分鐘，比較近的205也是要走個五分鐘，門口那條路有兩線公車經過但是我旅遊兩天都用不上，走遠一點去別站比較實在。附近有Family還有一家超市，附近的七條路上也有一些吃的。對面西本願寺早上起來也能逛逛。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 가격대비 좋은 숙소 - 후기가 별로 없어서 걱정했는데 넘 좋았어요! 조용한동네라 좋았고 사람도 많이없어서 더좋았구요 교토역에서 좀 걷긴하지만 힘든정도는 아니구 직원분이 한국말을 잘하셔서 대화도 나눌정도였어요 너무 친절하심 ㅋㅋ 숙소는 겨울엔 조금 춥지만 일본분위기에 1층 대중목욕탕이있어요 이용시간도 넉넉하고 저희방에 개인욕실이 있었지만 1층 사용했어요 보안이 약간 허술?한 느낌이지만 하루정도는 저렴한가격에 좋은곳이에요
• YUMI (8/5): 必要最小限にシンプルでいいお宿です。 - 8畳の畳の部屋でしたが、このお値段で個室で泊まれたのはよかったです。建物は古いですが、静かでぐっすり眠れました。お風呂も入れて快適でした。京都駅からも徒歩で行けるので便利です。寒い日でしたので、お布団が薄くて、2人分使わせていただきました。
• alex (8/5): 富很濃厚的日本風酒店 - 一直很喜歡這樣的日本風濃厚酒店，員工們很有禮貌，而且部份亦會國語，英語，容易溝通，門口附近有巴士站往來京都及各地方方便！
• Angel Gonzalo (6/5): The hotel's rooms are traditionally japonese - There is only one japonese washroom for the whole building.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - In the peak season, the rate is a bit higher tha usual but it's worthy. The staffs are helpful as well.
• Dani Seattle (6/5): Bare Minimum - We wanted a traditional ryokan experience without spending a lot of money. We booked one night for $155 which was a lot compared to our other AirBnB experiences. The staff were very friendly and professional, check in was very easy. However the facilities are very very old and minimal. The walls of our room were worn and stained. Our bathroom was decently clean but had many hairs on the floor. They did have a small common bath that my companion enjoyed. Overall I was very disappointed in our stay and would jot recommend this area to anyone as I assume the hostels in the area would be much more comfortable.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 窗外的西本願寺景真的很漂亮！ - 職員可以簡單英語溝通，住在8帖非共用浴室房，充滿日式風情，窗外可見到西本願寺的景觀真的十分漂亮，還可以到天台飽覽360度京都全景，共用浴室也不錯。
• MinRui (10/5): 日式风情，舒适愉快 - 酒店位于著名的西本愿寺对面，参访非常便利，周边交通也很方便。酒店提供日式澡堂、以及日式的澡堂用服，外国人也可以体验典型的日式澡堂风情；同时，房间为日式房间。酒店整体可以让外国人体验日式住宿的风情，和京都十分相配
• Monique1794 (8/5): This place got one great thing, other Kyoto hotels don't. - Locate in front of Nishi Honganji, close to Kyoto station, No parking lot. No food provided. Facility is old, not very maintenanced. You can smoke balcony of hollway. Typical school trip hotel for kids. Price is resonable, I know much worth place but pricy. One thing, I loved this place is They let us walk in rooftop. Most of place lock the dorr for rooftop for secury and safety reason. Here, free to walk in. The view is great. Please enjoy Kyoto Tower light up and Dawn of Nishi-honganji.
• Katherine (4/5): lacking charm of a traditional ryokan - I wouldn't really call this a traditional ryokan. From what I understand, those typically provide meals, or at least breakfast; this does not. The room itself was fine, and as expected, though there was a large, unsightly stain on the floor mat. The bathroom was extremely tiny - felt like a cruise ship bathroom. While it was an easy 15 minute walk from the Kyoto train station, there wasn't much else around and it felt very deserted at night - had to walk 20 minutes to find breakfast each day. Fine, but wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a traditional ryokan experience.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 很不錯的體:) - 房間雖小但設備齊全，旅館的職員也很熱心。 在jr京都駅可搭28號或9號巴士，坐一個站到西本願寺站下車。走路的話則可以從京都駅走大概10分鐘。旅館前也有巴士出入，很方便。
• Oasis (2/5): JR교토역에서 버스로 3번째 정차(니시 혼간지 마에) 근처 료칸 - 허. 정말 제가 무지 참다 이런 후기 남깁니다. 아니 도대체 정말로 이용후기가 이 료칸을 이용해보신 분들이 남겨놓은거 맞나요? 익스피디아는 도대체 뭐하는 겁니까? 이런걸 료칸이라고 소개해요? 이 더운 여름날(2016.7.29. 1박)에 객실에 냉장고가 없습디다. 직원에게 문의결과 없답니다. 냉장고 있는 객실이..자기네 료칸은... 대신에 자기네 냉장고에 넣어놓으라고 합디다... 세상에나... 그리고 이 료칸 사진에 나온 내부사진이 진짜 이 료칸 맞습니까? 눈을 씻고봐도 없던데요... 처음엔 제가 다른델 잘못알고 간줄 알었더니 체크인이 된거보니 정확히는 찾아간곳이던데 도대체 그 내부사진들은 어디 료칸입니까? 이런 료칸을 백만원 넘게 책정하고 세일해서 마치 소비자로 하여금 싼값에 투숙하게 만족감을 심어 줄려는... 진짜 이글 쓰면서도 속에서 올라오는걸 참는다...진짜!!!!
• miryung (8/5): - 교토역에서 도보로 10분 거리로 접근성 나쁘지 않습니다. 주변에 지나가는 버스 노선도 여러개라 편리하고요. 숙소 앞 사찰은 세계문화유산 중에 하나로 풍경이 우수합니다. 그리고, 걸어소 5분 거리에 패밀리 레스토랑도 있고 편의 점도 양 옆으로 두개 정도 있어 간식거리 구매에 어려움이 없습니다. 다만, 숙소가 대로변에 위치하여 차량 소음이 있으나, 가격 대비 만족합니다.
• sheng (8/5): - 公用澡堂不錯
• Shiroll (6/5): Azumaya Ryokan stay experience - Staying here for 2 nights. Unfortunately when the time we stay here, it was raining. And really found tired to walk from the ryokan to JR Kyoto station esp with small kid. Nothing to explore at night the surrounding here. Very quiet and little bit dark but do feel safe walking in out around. There is a family mart (forget is it call family Mart) nearby. That is once out ryokan, turn left and walk straight to the end and cross the road (traffic light) to opposite right side. Coin laundry shop was also at end turn left , yellow color shop. Opp the coin laundry was a capsule hotel or Inn. Cannot see the exact name from opp as raining n dark. The room was not really big but still ok coz I think the hotel or guesthouse here all are mostly smaller side. But the bathroom was really too small. We book Japanese style triple room which have own bathroom. Just taken 1 pic only as a bit too tired after long walk with few heavy luggage. Need remember bring rain coat just in case for self walking traveler. But easy to buy one or umbrella at shop like family mart which around 500yen plus plus. Used taxi service to check in time and it costed 1000yen from Kyoto station to the Ryokan. We met an old uncle taxi driver and he was very friendly and nice. Just unable communicate as we don't speak Japanese and he don't understand any English at all. A must to learn simple Japanese words before come here.
• Ding Yuan (8/5): 事先弄清楚本飯店提供的服務則不會失望 - 此次我們訂的是有衛浴的房間,但小孩卻愛上了他們的公共澡堂。同時一樓共用吧台可以在這邊用早餐, 對於自由行的人來說, 免除了在房間用餐時的擁擠感覺。
• sharon (8/5): Great experience - It was wonderful to share this rare experience with my two children so that they got to know something other that a regular hotel. It was the best two nights sleep we have all had in along time. A must do in Japan!
• lim (4/5): 관광객 이용편리 - 대체적으로 편안함을 주지못함. 시설이 너무 낡아서 불편함.. . 최저가격. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
• Verified traveler (8/5): 窗外景色太美了 - 大澡堂很棒！～走了一天的路，回到旅館泡澡超舒服， 而且離公車站牌十分近， 雖然房間有點老舊，不過整體來說很滿意！～
• Verified traveler (10/5): 직원분들이친절함 - 교토역까지 걸어서도 금방가고. 편의점도 가까워요. 직원분들도 친절하고 유카타도 무료로 대여해주시네요. 바로 앞에 신사가 있어서 슬슬 주변걸어다니는 것도 괜찬아요.
• Naka (8/5): Old Japanese Style Room, but it's comfortable ! - I had stayed only one night at the holel. The room isn't new, but if you likes Japanese tatami room, it's very good for staying! Reasonable price, and comfortable Japanese stye room.
• Roberto (8/5): Traditional Japanese hotel close to Kyoto station - The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was ok, if you are used to sleep in the floor! The location is very good, you can walk to Kyoto station.
• NAOMI (6/5): 布団もいいね！ - お布団が気持ちよかった。
• tamcgli (6/5): School Trip - This hostel was very accommodating for our group. The 7 and 5 bed private rooms were big enough for 7 and 5 college-aged males to sleep in them. If you do not have a private bathroom in your room, the shower is the shower in the bathhouse. The robes for the bathhouse are free to rent. We were able to store our luggage in the front lobby area for most of the day. However, you should check with the front desk beforehand. Breakfast is not served there. The Kyoto train station is about a 10 minute walk from the Hostel (doable with luggage; great breakfast options at the station). Some rooms have a view, some do not. Overall, a good experience for a few nights.
• Si Myun (4/5): 료칸은 그래도 비싼 곳으로 가세요. - 가족여행으로 교토를 방문하여 자녀들에게 일본 료관을 체험시켜주고자 이 숙소를 선정함. 아침 조식서비스가 없으므로 주변 식당 찾기가 어려워 15분 정도 걸어 교토역까지 가서 식사 가능함 주변에 편의점 및 슈퍼 있음 대로변 차량 소음이 잘 들리는 편. 차라리 바로 옆집 료칸이 가격은 좀 더 비싸보이나 여기보단 좋아보임 가성비 최저... 다시 갈 일은 분명히 없을 것임
• ClementPierart (10/5): Cosy, classic and good value - 10min walk to the train station. Nice and welcoming staff. Clean and comfortable traditional rooms. Nice public bath. It is not the most bustling and exciting neighbourhood but it is easy to access the more lively areas.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Awesome Kyoto hotel - The location is on a main road so it gets noisy at times but honestly that is the only draw back, the staff was extremely nice and spoke English better than most Americans.
• Pochanee (2/5): - ห้องพักเล็ก และสกปรกมาก จองห้องแบบมีห้องน้ำในส่วนตัวในห้อง ห้องน้ำเล็กแทบจะหมุนตัวไม่ได้แล้วยังสกปรก ไม่มีwifi ในห้อง ไม่มีตู้เย็น ไม่คุ้มค่ากับเงินที่จ่ายไป ในราคา ¥59600 / 3คืน / 3 คน
• rikkf (6/5): Reasonable value - Unlike other Ryokons, we were left on our own, with no fresh towels or room cleaning. The public baths were nice but I would have preferred an in-room toilet, sink and other amenities. Had to go to the lobby to use the internet and it was fairly flaky.
• Ryokan Kyoto (6/5): Traditional ryokan older style hotel. - Only stayed 1 night and wanted the ryokan experience. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful plus the hotel was in a great location. The hotel hasn't been updated in a while but was clean and comfortable for a short visit.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 잘다녀왔습니다 - 급한대로 정한 숙소 이지만 전망도 좋고 직원분들이 매우 친절합니다 위치적으로도 아주 좋습니다
• 961kenjic (8/5): 「Cozy & classic Ryokan」 - It was very cozy & classic ryokan where all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Just located in front of the temple & the room where we have stayed had a stunning view. Well recommended. me , my wife and my daughter really enjoy stay in this hotel .
• MathysT (4/5): Basic and too expensive - Due to shortage of hotel rooms at the time we ended up at the Azumaya. We entered sceptically after reading reviews below, and were therefore positively suprised. It is all very basic, but clean (it is after all Japan). The staff was helpful and friendly, and we could leave luggage waiting for the train. It is close to the Nisji Hongan-Ji, but to far from the most attractive areas for tourists. We paid 44.000 yen for two rooms and that was defineatly too much. Lots of traffoc and rather noisy.
• VincentMsika (4/5): All right location but bad personnel - We couldn't stay in the waiting room after check out, simply got kicked out before waiting train. Quite disappointing, especially considering japanese standards. The location is fair, but no view from the rooms that are facing a close wall. There are better options for the same price range
