"The shuttle to pickup/drop off to and from Ogoto Onsen Station was great; otherwise, it would be a 10 minutes walk with luggage! Our tatami room was very traditional and offered a great view of the lake. Only downside is no blackout curtain so the room is nice and BRIGHT at 6 o'clock in the morning! The 10-course (I think) dinner was interesting and filling; it took us 2 1/2 hours to finish. One note though, the massage was not very pleasant but then again, the appointment was 10pm so I wasn't expecting a great masseuse at that time. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience."

"We enjoyed very much! For sure we will visit again and will recommend to our friends. Thank the staff - they were all very professional and friendly."

"It was my first time visiting Kyoto and I picked this hotel due to its great reviews. The staff was so kind -always attentive and helpful regarding any needs that I had. I was always greeted the second I entered the lobby as well as around the hotel. I booked the garden view room -it was amazing. It had a large balcony that opened up into the Japanese garden that the hotel perfected! There was so much space -two bathrooms, a living room, a tatami mat area, and a double bed. I am a clean freak, and I don't think I've seen a cleaner hotel room in my life. They also offered great pajamas. I utilized the sauna Cypress room -it was essentially your own private spa. Make sure to book their saunas in advance as their reservations do fill up. Breakfast was included every day. The food was good (they had American options and Japanese options). The restaurant overlooked the Japanese garden. I could sit there forever. The only downside of the hotel is that it is a bit far from the downtown area. I utilized Uber and there was one night that I couldn't get a car for so long (I tried for hours) that I ended up missing my dinner reservation. There is a train close-by however you do have to trek uphill a bit to and from the train. I was also with my mother who couldn't do hilly walks so the train wasn't an option. The car ride to the downtown area was about 30 minutes with traffic. Sometimes more or less. I still think the hotel was worth it and would stay again despite the location. "

"Wonderful night in an authentic Ryokan"

"Good location. Just beside the train station. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good."

"Very nice quite heritage area surrounded by trees and heritage properties as well as river flowing through. The property is the best value for money authentic Japanese Onsen stays we have come across. Very nice and helpful staff. "

"The dinner offered was scant and of very poor quality. The view was more of road than lake"

"Home style Japanese dinner and breakfast was delicious. The premise and surroundings were very quiet—a nice getaway from the bustling city. A home-like coziness. Family staff were most cordial and accommodating. Had fun riding the complementary bicycles. Only visited one temple site 15 minutes walk away, but what a gem! Ohara Sanzenin is a beauty—and we saw it at the tail end of Winter when one wouldn’t expect much to see. The temple and garden capture much of the essence that is Kyoto. Was very impressive. Surely, will plan a stay at Ryoso Chatani Ryokan in the future. "
