What an amazing stay. Every thing was thought out and detailed out for the most amazing stay. The bathroom and room were wonderful. Close to subway and close to restaurants and a wonderful coffee shop across the canal. The staff went above and beyond for us and we even used the laundry service.

It’s a little further out the main town, but it’s really peaceful.

The staff were lovely, our room was very nice and clean.

I saw someone comment about a smell in the room. I think this comes from the cedar bath in the bathroom and so is a natural odour.

Everything! The staff were polite and helpful and even dried a couple of items of washing for us even though their service was closed.

Beautiful traditional bath with cypress tub. (Not hot spring water) We really enjoyed the traditional bamboo floors and friendly staff. This is also a great location with restaurants nearby and easy train access.

We chose this hotel because we wanted to experience staying in a Ryokan. Loved the traditional Japanese ambiance with a modern twist. Room was very spacious and equipped with window blinds that blocks out the light in the morning. We also loved the wooden bathroom and tub.

Lovely hotel in a nice location in Kyoto, walking distance from Kyoto Station and some of the temples /sights nearby. Staff were very nice and helpful and even gave us hand warmers and umbrellas (it was cold /rainy when we went in Feb). Room was very nice and comfortable and the traditional breakfast (veg option available) was excellent!

Upon arrival and every time you enter and leave hotel "lobby", you need a bit more room in order to chance from street shoes to hotel shoes. I guess another bench or little extra sitting area to change your shoes would be appreciated, but other then that it was a perfect stay!!

The hotel gives a very Japanese-modern experience - room style, hotel entrance, staff appearance etc. we loved the room, the Yokattas, and the special wooden bathroom. Location was very comfortable for us. Cheap if you want to arrive with taxi on a night out, and pretty easy if you use the subway. Also it's a walking distace to Kyoto Shinkansen station, and if you prefer taxi its about 1000 ¥. You enter the hotel and your room with an electronic keypad code which was very easy and comfortable. about 50 meters from hotel you have a seven-11, which we found very comfy. also a very recommended place with nice food, atmosphere and beer is just across the seven-11, called CRAFT-KYOTO, they have their own brewery called Nude beer, we really loved. Much better on all counts from the little beer place you have a side from the hotel entrance (this one is nice, but very loud and touristy, so if you want something more saddle go to Craft Kyoto across the 7-11).

Nothing. This place was indeed a big contribution towards the full Kyoto experience. We have nothing but good words for this place. Worth the visit.

Amazing place located just few minutes away from the Kyoto Station, on the east part of the city with easy access to the underground, and walking distance to some of the major attractions in Kyoto like Fushimi Inari, Gion, or the Imperial Palace. The neighbourhood is very quiet and calm with nice restaurants nearby (check the Tokyo Beer Bar just next door!) The staff members are amazing and welcoming, the room is spacious, traditional and comfy (see the pics!). They have a laundry system that is very nice too and helped us quite a lot. Very happy with the experience.

We stayed in this beautiful Ryokan as part of our honeymoon trip to Japan. The staff were incredibly kind to give us a small gift to mark the occasion. The accommodation was beautiful, clean, and calming. It is an absolutely ideal place to stay, and you shouldn't think twice about booking.

Accommodating staff who cared about guests' comfort, the cleanliness of the room was beyond any expectations, the wooden bath was exceptional, and the Japanese breakfast was very delicious.

I have no complaints!

The whole experience was wonderful. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and offered us umbrellas on the rainy day. The whole experience was great and we want to come back.

A beautiful room with a lot of space. The bathroom was particularly nice, with a cedar wood bath that felt very luxurious. Breakfast was also good, we had the western style breakfast. In a good location to get over to Gion district.

No restaurant meant we couldn’t have breakfast with our friends but that’s being really picky as hotel really is amazing.

Amazing traditional inn in the heart of Kyoto, alongside a little idyllic river, minutes from the food and bar street and about 15 minutes walk from the station and Kyoto tower. The room are amazing. Spacious. With a table for your breakfast as unfortunately there’s no restaurant so breakfast has to be served in the room. Very hearty breakfast by the way. There’s a kimono and slippers in the room. The cedar bath is incredible. So fragrant. All singing all dancing toilet as is the custom in Japan. You can walk to the narrow street (no idea of the name) that has all the restaurants and bars and it’s also about 20 minute walk to the main shopping area. The temples are a pleasant half hour walk away and Gion is just the other side of the river.

I really liked the friendliness of the staff. They were helpful and very concerned about making our stay more pleasant. The tea set in the room was very nice and I enjoyed making my morning tea and sitting and enjoying the Zen garden every morning. I also liked the security of the building in the evening and the passcode required to gain entrance.

A better choice of bread would have been nice. We did not get to interact with the other guests, so there is lack of community on the compound.

The all automatic toilet!! The pillows, the tatamis and the very friendly and kind staff. Great location too, walkable distances to a lot of places.

Traditional Kyoto met with all the modern comforts. We adored the staff, location and all amenities. A traditional bath & view of a calming garden. All secure with both front gate, room & lobby security

This ryokan is a blend of traditional and modern comforts. Japanese breakfast was fantastic. Room was very large compared to where we stayed in Tokyo. Staff were incredibly helpful and pleasant. The cypress tub was nice to soak in. Coffee and tea was made available in the room, with very nice cups and settings. Probably one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in.. They also provide yukatas (casual kimonos) that you can wear both in and out of the hotel. Free of charge. We liked them so much we purchased two when we left from them.

Was a bit further situated from ideal locations than I would have liked, but did have conveniently located metro stops nearby.

Staff was extremely polite and kind when we checked in, though we did not significantly interact with them otherwise throughout our stay. Rooms were clean and as anticipated. Bath was fantastic and filled up in a timely fashion.

The proximity to the Keihan line was very beneficial as my wife and I would be active everyday. The greatest benefit to this location in addition to the room amenities, proximity, cleanliness was the staff. This is what made us choose this location again for Kyoto and will always in the future. The staff was incredibly accommodating to any and all requests we may have had, immensely considerate to us, and went above on all requests to call or book appointments or even just inquiries.

Internet wasn't super, but this is a rather minor point (the room was fantastic overall!).

Lovely and quiet area, exquisite staff, wonderful bathtub in a spacious room.
