Could be cleaner

Facilities were great and the staff was very helpful. Location was also great - close to the station - Inari is few minutes away

This ryokan Is for travelers Who want to experience the japanese traditional room in a cheap way. The structure itself Is clear enough and the futon Is quite relaxing, in my opinion the bathroom Is a bit narrow. The quality price factor Is however perfect and at this price Is almost impossible to find a spot in a so quiet but at the same time central Place in Kyoto

Other people have commented on the shortcomings of this place (old lady entering your room without permission, a few cockroaches, cat in heat outside meowing all night, and terrible terrible terrible WiFi). Did I say WiFi doesn’t work??!!!

Great location. A short taxi ride away from Tokyo Station or 15 min walk. The price is very good for Kyoto and you get decent value for money. Big room, good aircon and bathroom (heated toilet seat is great).

Clean and spacious.

Since its old building some things were not renewed and broken like hairdryer. Also there was some miscomunication with stuff but perhaps its language barrier

The place was good, you can walk by foot to main station and fushimi inari. Also its authentical old ryokan so of you want to experience it, its worth

There is no elevator to the upper floors. I’ve slept in many Japanese style rooms and I absolutely love them, but this one was not comfortable. The futon was too thin. And although there were many pillows to choose from, they were not clean (everything else was clean though)

The owner was very nice and helpful. The location is great as well! Pretty good for short term stay!

I realise it's a relatively old building, but bathroom facilities could be re-furbished.

Comfortable and in a good location, and ideal for a budget short stay.

The room seemed lived in, there was a small desk with a random laptop on it and sandals outside on the balcony that weren’t ours.

It had a microwave and fridge, more than enough electrical outlets and ample space to chill in. You are able to do your laundry in their washer and dryer (for a small fee)

The receptionist is rude, and he is banging doors every day at the lobby area. Such attitude is inappropriate and unacceptable. He is staying in room 107 while the other guest in room 101 has to face a lot of disturbances because of the in and out at the entrance of every guests days and nights.... I previously asked for a quiet area as possible!

This Ryokan is central and near to all Kyotos'activities. The old lady working hard maintaining yhe cleanness of the Ryokan.

The staff doesn't speak English very well, but the translator helps. There is no elevator and if you have a large or heavy suitcase it will be quite difficult to drag it up. The cleaning in the room is not perfect, the trash was not always taken out.

Great location, close to both subway and bus stations. Also easy to walk to Kyoto main station. Nice room, everything is comfortable, good experience in traditional Japanese environment for little money.

I don't think the staff have enough English to help foreign guests much.

It was fine. Clean and comfortable

The room wasn't what i expected

The bath is really good and the public installations were nice and clean

Stayed in March 2025

the bathroom was very small and difficult to move

We loved the location, and the antiqueness of the house, the tatami floor and the experience of sleeping in futon.

Stayed in March 2025

Sleeping situation was uncomfortable. Found the futons to be extremely firm and I was only given one small pillow. The other pillows in the closet didn't have covers. Wifi was spotty.

Great location. Used the nearby train station to get to Fushimi Inari and Osaka. Walking distance to certain other attractions. They had some umbrellas you can use. Room had balcony, mini fridge, large table, and heater.

I was surprised by the staff who came knocking at 720am and if you dont answer, will unlock the room and come in. This happened 3 time out of my 4 night stay.i have never experience any hotel doing such before, So be prepared if you stay here. The staff need to be responded. Lol. I was also silly to think it has elevator. Having a heavy luggage and being given third floor didnt help the experience.

Superb location, next to bus stop and train station. These 2 will bring you to most places.Tatami Room come with everything you need including a laptop for surfing web. A great japan style experience for a first timer staying at an ryokan.

Stayed in February 2025

The futon was a little uncomfortable compared to others I've slept on, but this isn't too much of an issue if you're used to sleeping in ryokans

It was great for the price. Though the two owners do not speak English they were very helpful and kind. Additionally the single room was exactly what I expected.

not a problem for me at all, and I like narrow stairs and narrow washrooms, but I get wide old style tatami rooms and futons... it is a basic nice place, not for everyone perhaps; those who like it keep coming back, those who dont, have many choices

my favorite simple low price Inn in Kyoto; it has its charms, is narrow, but rooms are old style and fine; bathrooms are very narrow, so not for large foreign guests, but for me it is fine; it is not for eceryone, but it is my style, and I prefer to save a lot of yen and not deal with larger hotels or touristy Inns..

Stayed in January 2025

Room was old, a little bit dusty, there was not replacement of towels, or option to room service.

Amazing location. Everything close and convenient, a well spaced tatami room for 2 people.

No lift and very narrow stairs. Impossible to carry heavy suitcase up three levels. Had to empty my suitcase before bringing it up.

Located near kamo river and shichijo train station. Loved the tatami floor.
