Hotel and room were fine. Unfortunately staff did not speak English but were good about translating instructions etc. My complaint is with the public bath. Mold growing in various places aggressively, cracked tiles. Needs to be completed scrubbed down, floor to ceiling and renovated even.

If you want an old old style, real Japanese experience with a lovely tatanmi room with easy access to central Kyoto, then it's great. We loved it. Very little English spoken (not a problem for us), and could be difficult to find if you don't arrive by taxi, but we really enjoyed our stay.

Loved the overall look of the property, with the tatami mats in the rooms, the tea set tables, and the paper sliding windows. The location is very accessible to places like Nijo castle, and Nishiki Market. Would love to stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto.
