The stairs were a little daunting but that was all. Everything was emasculate and the staff were very accomodating to requests.

The property is very clean and reflects the traditions of Kyoto. The room was amazing with tatami flooring, futon beds and a genkan to give the unique experience to its customers. I absolutely loved it and its location as it was near the markets and the historical district.

You had to book a specific time for breakfast -- seemed a little constraining. Beds were a little hard but most hotel beds in Japan are harder than the US average.

Lovely front desk service. We did not take advantage of the private onsen service but I wish we had. This is in a very cute neighborhood, lots of interesting things in walking distance. Overall a great place to stay and a nice value.

A wonderful Japanese ryokan-style hotel that is warm, comfortable, friendly & clean. The hotel facilities were great as it has its own private onsen, money changer machine, breakfast service & plenty of family activities to do such as: tea ceremony, kimono rental & origami folding. The breakfast was wonderful too with 5 different sets to choose from. We love the Japanese breakfast set the most & would highly recommend to try it at least once during your stay. The hotel is also quite close to train stations, less than 1km walk away. The hotel staffs were really friendly too & were helpful in answering our queries. Most of them can speak English and therefore, foreigner friendly.

Absolutely lovely ryokan. Fantastic and helpful staff, great location, and has lots of authentic and updated vibes to it. The tatami mats were comfortable, rooms were small but fit our needs. Comfortable onsens, although they are definitely meant for single occupancy, not two - quite small! We really enjoyed this place and would definitely stay here again were we to return to Kyoto.

Amazing experience - Ryokan stay. Proper futon plus tatami sleeping in a large room, especially large when you put aside the tatamis. Makes you wonder why on earth we need the huge useless beds that occupy 60% of a room and make it useless during the day. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The breakfast is a great deal ($8). The only downside was we (believe) we paid the night before each breakfast as that is required and for one of the breakfasts they recorded we didn’t pay. Insist on a receipt for your payment of breakfast (they provide a ticket but not a receipt) and there will be no issue. Try the traditional Japanese breakfast—$8–an amazing value.

Experience a traditional Japanese accommodation. Staff were very helpful. Location was great.

The tub for the bath was kinda small for two people. Maybe if you want a solo bath.

Friendly multilingual staff who didn’t care about tattoos. Clean, cost and great place to stay.

No complaints that I can think of!

It’s more like a hotel than a traditional ryokan but we liked it. Beds on the floor were surprisingly comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. Also one of the nicest western breakfasts we had in Japan - properly cooked scrambled egg! Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great cozy ryokan! Sadly, we only spent one night there, but it was fantastic. We booked a traditional room, and it was certainly a pleasant experience. Everything provided by the hotel made our short stay very comfortable. Futons were nice and soft, and we all slept without any disturbances. Definitely will come back to this ryokan during our next trip to Kyoto!

Not applicable. Our stay was perfect!

Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei exceeded our expectations. This was my family's first time visiting Japan, and it was a great way to introduce them to more traditional Japanese lodgings. We stayed in a tatami room and the futons were lovely and very comfortable. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The staff at Sakura Urushitei were very kind and friendly. Check-in was very easy, breakfast was delicious (with Japanese and Western options), and the facilities were delightful. While there was no bath in the room we booked, there is a private bath you can book during your stay that is on site. The ryokan was also great about organizing and informing guests about kimono dressing experiences as well as tea ceremonies. Highly recommend!!

Great place to stay, everyone there was super friendly and accommodating! The location was also phenomenal and they had a nice list of recommended places to eat nearby. Would definitely stay here again!

Our bathroom smelled a little funky, but everything else was great. I would stay here again. Our room was clean and comfy, and it worked for our family of 4. The staff was very helpful and kind. They brought us extra futons to make the Japanese beds more comfy. They had umbrellas for us to use when it rained.

The Japanese breakfast was yummy

This is just based on my needs, but you only receive one physical key which can be cumbersome if you are traveling with friends and have different schedules.

Very spacious room with a lot of light and also great amenities available at the front desk to pick out as you need. They host a number of events and are extremely welcoming. Highly recommend staying here, especially for any first timers in Japan. About a 10 minute walk from the commonly used bus and train stations and a 25-30 minute walk or 5,000¥ taxi from the Shinkansen station.

They had lots of perks to take advantage of like kimono rental ,sake tasting etc. We rented kimonos at the ryokan which was perfect and good value for money. The breakfast was good too. We took the traditional rooms and enjoyed our stay a lot
