For the price this is an incredible steal. Conveniently located, clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. The only downsides are that the key system is a little outdated, there’s a midnight curfew, and the western beds are kind of stiff. But it’s also super peaceful and had a lot of privacy

Ryokan experience

This is a place for people looking for a Japanese Ryokan experience. You sleep on a thin futon on a tatami mat floor, and the room is pretty spartan. That said, the staff is very helpful and kind and while the place could use some updating (especially the door & lock to the rooms and the number and location of plugs), this was a very pleasant stay.

We were so close to transport, dining and shopping yet we felt like we were a world away in a traditional ryokan with beautiful breakfasts and futon bedding with rice paper walls blocking out the cold and street traffic noise. Front desk assistance was kind, friendly and helpful. The onsen experience was very clean and relaxing.

Great little ryokan steps away from Kyoto Station

It was so nice to only have to walk across the street from Kyoto Station to get to the ryokan hotel. Enjoyed the traditional hot springs baths and the free hot drinks vending machine in the lobby. Rooms were dated but clean and cosy. Staff were attentive and friendly. I'm not a fan of sleeping on futons, but my family loved it. Perfect spot for people to explore Kyoto all day, and have a hot soak in the traditional (naked) hot springs at night. Would stay there again, as it was quite affortable.
