Go straight to this address to check in: 542 wakamiya-cho; this will take you to the check in office, and they will tell you where to go for your room which is about a block and a half away. This hotel is a solid 3.5\. The adage "you get what you pay for" applies here. My room was upstairs and the stairs were very narrow and steep; lugging one small suitcase up was perilous. The bathrooms are shared but there are three toilets for the 4(?) rooms in the building. There is a shower stall and a soaking tub. The soaking tub would be nice if there were English instructions on using the tankless water heater. This is an old style building so gives you an "authentic" experience for your stay in Kyoto, but in exchange lacks many of the amenities that comes with a standard hotel. There was a small kitchenette though so that is a point in its favor. Check in and check out, once I was provided with the correct address, was pretty simple and easy. I only stayed here one night and it was comfortable for that night, but any longer may be a challenge. ##### Coral Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie-Sarah 8 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good stay!

Have stayed in ryokans our whole trip and this one was the absolute worst. The place itself is fine (same as most of the other typical cheap ryokans) and the staff are lovely and very friendly, however the room we were staying in was terrible. Every time someone moved in the room above us there were terrible squeaks in their floorboards (our ceiling) which were loud enough to wake you and give you a headache. Also the wall to the outside street was literally paper so every car, bike and person going past could be heard. This room was very loud and very distracting. I can usually handle some noise and light during the night but this was ridiculous. I’m glad we only stayed here for one night! ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a really lovely stay at Koto an, the staff and home was lovely. The only down fall was really loud guests arriving at 3:30am on our second night who continued to talk and move around upstairs for another hour into the early morning. The house is very old so the floors creek a lot. I would definitely stay again but would ask the home stay to consider having check in time window boxes as it was really unpleseant to be woken at such an early hour and for the guests to be able to continue loud conversations as they prepared for sleep.

Your neighbor will hear all the noise you make in your room no don't expect privacy. Only one shower and two toilets to share with 4 rooms. The office is about 8 minutes walk from the actual living place, so no staff at where you stay. Ok for one time experience but I would not go back.
