This is a simple but tidy and welcoming hotel great for anyone wanting to experience a bit of traditional Kyoto. Its traditional roots give it real charm, but this should not be mistaken for luxury. Accommodations are modest but welcoming. Great for those interested in Kyoto's history but on a budget and looking for a unique experience.

Relaxing and Comfortable Stay
Kyoto Machiya SHOUAN is a clean and well-kept secret charm in Kyoto, nestled in a quiet neighborhood and yet not too far away from public transportation. It is a small four-room ryokan which is extremely clean and quiet. Even though you have to share bathroom and restrooms, there is never a line and the facilities are very clean. It has a nice bath which you will enjoy the soak.

Sweet lovely historical building
Good place. It is very old and made in traditional ways, so they're getting used to hotels.com booking in a cash based world. But super friendly and close to a supermarket for food. If you hate street noise bring ear plugs and you'll be fine. These are tatami rooms with paper doors. The wifi was the best. Most of Japan makes you sign in, these guys have it like you would at home. Everyone was super sweet there and for the price you really can't beat it in kyoto which was surprisingly expensive to book last minute.

The location is not convenient, and they never serve meals like I expected, i was expecting it to be like a ryokan thats why i booked it and checked out early from gion weekly apartment, me and my friend was so dissatisfied, after realizing is not a ryokan. We'll its lessons learned...

Nice Japanese experience
Hotel itself was nice. We arrived around 9pm and the owner was just about to lock the door. Thankfully we got there in time. We stayed upstairs and were taught how to make beds. Good experience but could be tiring if it's towards the end of a long day. Had to go downstairs for shower and toilet. but the deco is nice. Close to nijo castle, but otherwise far from everything else, but the bus line can take us to places. Nice to live far away from commercial district, but hope the location is more convenient.
