    The water is very!!! Hot in the bath. Dont make the mistake of messing up the mixing. Burnt myself ever so slightly when a few drops hit my leg. Its an old manual mix so if you forget to turn on the cold water you risk scalding yourself

    Great location 5 minutes from the train station. Excellent service and the staff were friendly

    Public bathroom with limited opening hours and no clothes was something we could not get used to. The amount of food during dinner was too much, could serve less for a lower cost.

    Authentic ryokan experience. Very good dinner service.

    Wonderful Family Vacation at Hifumi Ryokan!

    There isn't any particular aspect we disliked about the hotel, although the bathroom in our room was slightly outdated.

    The location was great, as it was very close to Kyoto station. Our family of four, including children, had a great time. The breakfast was delicious and presented very well. Family mart, Starbucks, other coffee shops, restaurants, and even a kids’ play area around the Ryokan made the location perfect for us. We highly recommend it! convenient mark

    The Japanese set meals were a bit bland for our Indian palates used to fiery spice. But looked beautiful and it was indeed a different experience

    The responses to messages were prompt. We ended up reaching very late by 11 pm; but the host very graciously stayed up to let us in and furthermore, kept our dinner warm and ready even though the service staff had left.

    There's no washing machine. While the water temperature of the public bath was a bit too hot.

    Lovely ryokan, traditional style offering 2 meals. We love the room, the bedding was set up as we arrived late in the evening, otherwise they would have done that while we're having dinner. All was well set up. There's a small welcome dessert, while staffs are helpful and speaks English well. They also helped us to arrange for a birthday cake in advance per special request via email. They're super thoughtful. Talking with the front desk, we found out it's a family run business for 4 generations.

    I didn’t like the facilities of the public bath - some showers were a little dirty by and the temperature of the bath was too hot; reaching the point that it was unenjoyable for use. Furthermore, there was very limited skincare supplies as most had run out.

    I loved the customer service - it was far beyond my expectations! The property’s close proximity to different stores and restaurants was another benefit!

    The lack of an ice machine thus having to ask staff for ice; but this was very minor.

    Location: walking distance to Kyoto Station & restaurants & convenience stores & easy access to transportation to tourist attractions. The ability to check your luggage if you arrive early and for the staff to have it in your room when you check in, the small onsen & the 24 hour front desk were huge bonuses. The room’s full bathroom was unexpected & welcomed. Finally, the friendly staff and cleanliness of this ryokan were greatly appreciated. Yes, I would stay here again. David.
