I would only stay in a ryokan if you could get the dinner experience, too. Otherwise, it is just a different room setup, and, for Americans, it is less comfortable.

A wonderful traditional Japanese experience!

We are so glad we stayed here! Staff were just so sweet &very helpful when it came to questions about our plans for the days (helped we know some Japanese as their English is limited). The facade is tiny, so easy to miss, but discovered this inn is much bigger than it appears when we took the lift to our AMAZING trad Japanese breakfast! We booked a family room- 2 adults, 2 teens). Weren't expecting much coz Japanese rooms are notoriously small.We were shown a room with a dining table (with tea& snacks) which we assumed would convert to a bedroom. Our host opened sliding doors (thought it was a cupboard &he was showing us our futons & how to convert the room) -he was actually opening doors into our HUGE main room with futons already made up, TV, another (low) table and balcony area that led to the in-room toilet. Balcony windows slide open to enjoy the peaceful view of the courtyard garden. Toilet had a basin so you could brush teeth/get ready for the day in there but there was also a communal basin in the hall (normal at an inn as showers are in the communal bathhouse downstairs - we used the showers here but it was too hot to bathe!) Everything we could need was provided for in the bathhouse, and rooms had bottled water. Note: if you are over~5'9" careful of your head!This place was built over a century ago when people were smaller. We were warned but hubby still smacked his head! Also the stairs to this room are STEEP! We had to remove slippers to safely navigate the stairs

Hübsch eingerichtetes Ryokan. Nette Leute. Sprechen nicht sehr gut Englisch, man hat sich aber trotzdem irgendwie verstanden. Bei Nachtessen frühzeitig angeben wenn sie nicht Fisch essen. Wir hatten dies zu spät (am gleichen Tag beim einchecken) angegeben, konnte nicht mehr darauf reagiert werden. Ich fand das Essen gut, für meine Partnerin wars nicht so toll.

오래된 곳으로 보여지나 관리가 아주 잘된듯 함. 한국말 서비스는 없음. 그러나 아주 친절함. 카이세키는 4층 식당에서. 6시와 6시반중 택일. 조식도 8시 8시반 택일. 식사는 너~무 맛났음. 대욕장도 있어요 아주 일본 스러운 곳입니다.

Expérience décevante : ce n'est pas un ryokan...

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cet établissement en pensant nous être fait plaisir en réservant une nuit dans un ryokan (300 euros la nuit pour 3 personnes)... L'expérience s'est avérée très décevante. Il s'agit d'un hôtel de moyenne gamme dans un style "ryokan". Le prix (trop élevé) s'explique par la localisation en plein coeur de Kyoto à 2 pas des boutiques chics de Sanjo Dori. Très mauvaise connexion Wi-Fi (réseau public du quartier...). Petit-déjeuner pas terrible. Je ne vous recommande vraiment pas de séjourner ici.

Lovely place

We spent a romantic two days in Kyoto and we stayed in this wonderful ryokan. The staff were absolutely heart warming, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend this place if you want to experience an original Japanese ryokan. Everything worked well and we our room was very cozy, bed was comfortable and the surrounding area was full of small shops and restaurants. We will hopefully visit this ryokan again in the future.

A traditional, comfortable Ryokan

As mentioned in the other reviews, this is a traditional Ryokan. They don't speak much English and you need to respect their rules, but the staff is all very hospitable and gave us a good understanding of how traditional Japanese travel. At the same time, they had most of the amenities of a three-star hotel.

Good location, near the Nishi market

Checked in at 4 pm. Yet, I was able to leave my luggage at reception until 4 pm, and I appreciated that I can leave my luggage for an extra day without fee after checking out. The hotel didn't provide Internet from in-house but told us to use the city free public internet service which is slow and I wasn't able to log in and used.

The staff is great, but the hotel itself was not great. The sleeping mats were inadequate and the bathroom and toilet facilities were tiny even by Japanese hotel standards.
