    Very affordable, extremely well located at walking distance from Kyoto Station and some shoppings and restaurants. Staff very friendly and helpful. Place is old but clean, and gives a really good "traditional" vibe. They kept my stuff safe...

    The Ryokan was old but perfect, located right behind the Kyoto station. I loved the owner attention to the details and really enjoyed the Japanese Bath room. They were really helpful giving me a plate and some soia sauce for a piece of tofu...
