Being an older style house, there is not a lot of noise insulation. Is a quiet location so nothing much but we did wake occasionally with people walking past during the night.

The bath was superb to sit back in for a relaxing soak.

Loved our stay here, close to many great cafes, the river, beautiful and quiet area but also easily accessible by bus. Loved the spacious and traditional room. Great and friendly staff!

It's in an older building so as expected the noise cancelling is at a zero. I could hear everything from people whispering, to birds on the roof, to other guests using the bathroom. If you can sleep through anything then that's no problem. But if you're a light sleeper then you won't get much sleep.

The owner was very friendly. My room was large and comfortable. The heated flooring was very nice. The decor was great. It was near many nice restaurants and in a great location.

You could say the hotel is quite basic, ie no frills, but it really had everything we needed and was excellent value for money in Kyoto.

We loved Hazuki hotel, it was in the Japanese style situated close to the station but in a quiet spot near a small river, and the stone bath was something else! The proprietor couldn't do enough for us, he was so kind and genial.

Traditional Japanese house with very helpful owner. Sat in the very pretty backstreets of Kyoto and its traditional houses. Futons were comfortable and rooms were tidied daily. Had to be quiet when inside the property but this was fine with us

This place was a wonderful surprise, traditional ryokan-like inn with a big and beautiful room, which felt more like a small museum than a city-centre hotel. Old timber, traditional Japanese tatami, slippers and futon with a view on a pretty little Japanese garden. The owner was extraordinarily kind, and knowledgeable about the area. Offered to help with booking anything we wanted to visit and rushed to the resort to let us in because we showed a bit earlier than expected. This is not a fully-staffed property which makes it more cosy and human. The owner speaks good English which was extremely useful for us. The location is good, a 5 to 10 minute walk from the metro line and close to the river and restaurant. It's situated in a traditional and quiet Kyoto street. This added so much magic to our trip. Strongly recommend!

It wasn't super close to the main area of Kyoto but about 10-15 minute walk. This was fine for us as it was more quiet and closer to the station but I can see some people finding it far

We were greeted by the manager and his dog who was super friendly and showed us to our room at the ryokan. He allowed us to check in early also as we got there before check in time. The place was very clean and full of old artifacts. They even had heated flooring.

This traditional minshuku in the heart of Kyoto was an absolute pleasure to stay at...great location, spotlessly clean and a magnificently restored Architectural masterpiece. Would recommend in a heartbeat! Thanks for having us...

The house has been renovated with great taste in a Japanese traditional style. The private onsen is absolutely lovely and we had a fantastic stay.

Location is in a quieter part, so it’s a good 10-15min walk to the busier areas. Although you’ll have a good nights sleep

Traditional Japanese house feel with modern appliances like heated floors and A/C

Honestly everything. The property and rooms are beautiful, conveniently-located, and quiet. No notes, really.

The room was súper big, and fancy, Japanese style, we enjoyed it a lot. Futons were heated, simply great! The owner, really helpful. He took his time to explain us his recommendations for our 4 days in kyoto, he sent us per WhatsApp places and restaurants and he even called to reserve to one. Last day he offered himself to give our family a ride to the station, carrying all our luggage Location convenient, in a quiet very nice quarter, 5min walking from metro station

English communication is good. The room is big and beautiful. There is a washing machine. Very nice personal, the owner is so kind asking whether we will need a ride to the Kyoto train station. The tatami + floor heating + Japanese floor mat is so comfortable even in winter! I really enjoy the shared bathing. (You still bath privately, no worry.)

This is a traditional Japanese ryokan where most of the living takes place on the tatami floor. For those who are not used to this type of living, it may be hard to get used to. Might be helpful to have a couple benches for people to put stuff on.

Takasen-san, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The heated floor was godsend, especially after coming back from a cold, rainy walk. The Ryokan is located by the Takase river and only a few block away from Kamogawa, and 5 min walk to the Gojo Keihan station. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant.

The only downside we could think of for this place is that due to the style of building sound carries: you can hear other guests. Any place with this kind of design will have the same problem though, so I think you just have to be okay with being quiet and hope other guests show the same respect. As an after thought, it would be nice to have some microwave safe dishes and a tray for the toaster over to make heating up food easier.

The host is extremely friendly and helpful. I'm pretty sure he runs the place by himself and he does a great job. The facilities are beautiful: traditional look, sliding doors, antique furniture and decorations, tatami mats, heated floors, large family bathtub room with auto-filling tub large enough for 2 people (private bathroom in the room too). If you want the traditional feel this place delivers. Great location near transit and many restaurants. Nice riverside walk about 2 minutes away. Lots of supplies in the shared kitchen area: dishes, cutlery, coffee, mineral water, some spices and sauces, even sake you could try. The host provides a little instruction book that answered all the questions we had (for example, translated instructions for remote controls, recommendations for places to go, etc.). As a final note, the host even drove us to the train station when we left! We hope to stay here again!

Gorgeous property, highly recommend staying here on your visit to Kyoto! Beautifully traditional, perfectly located between Gion area and Kyoto station. Takase-san was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us a lift to Kyoto station as well as pontocho alley! He also recommended some great restaurants. We also loved using the traditional Japanese stone bath.

We loved everything about this beautifully restored house, the great interior, the facilities and above all the landlady and landlord who were extremely helpful, be it with getting the laundry done, be it with transport to the station. We got caught by a typhoon with our two kids and we are glad this was the place we got stuck in..

Amazing hospitality and beautiful historic home refuge away from the super bustling areas. Nice taste of quieter residential living close to the river. Our host was amazingly helpful and gracious. We loved the Japanese bath as well. Also happy to meet “shin” 🐕

There was some construction work going on in the street on the opposite side. If you are discovering the city in the daytime, this won’t bother you at all.

We had a lovely stay at this ryokan in Kyoto! It has a long history, and it was a new experience for us to sleep on futon beds in this traditional Japanese setting. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The ryokan is situated in a calm street and on good walking distance to restaurants and the closest subway for visiting attractions of Kyoto. It was also very close to the beautiful riverside. Our host took very good care of us, gave us good recommendations and even drove us to the station on our last day. His English is very good, and he always responded very fast to messages. Thank you so much for these memorable days in Kyoto!
