Lovely traditional style hotel! The room has a very nice homely feeling and the beds are very comfortable. The location is also 15 minutes walking distance from Kyoto Station and is right across the road from the serene Nishi Hongan-ji Temple.

It's Kyoto, you're going to walk regardless. My room was close to the smoking balcony, so you can catch a whip because it can go through the aircon vent. Free coffee, tea, and hot water. Great curry and ramen restaurants a few blocks away. Overall 10/10

I enjoyed staying in this ryokan, with tatami flooring and futon bed. There was a small private bathroom with bath/shower as well as a larger communal bathroom. The room had everything I needed and even a view of the amazing shrine next door.

Traditional ryokan older style hotel.

Only stayed 1 night and wanted the ryokan experience. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful plus the hotel was in a great location. The hotel hasn't been updated in a while but was clean and comfortable for a short visit.

Good Ryokan, but...

Very warm welcome and impeccable service. On the other hand, the soundproofing is very poor and we could hear everything that was going on in the street (lots of passing cars and motorcyclists taking advantage of the straight line to accelerate). Apart from that, our room would have deserved to be renovated.

Bare Minimum

We wanted a traditional ryokan experience without spending a lot of money. We booked one night for $155 which was a lot compared to our other AirBnB experiences. The staff were very friendly and professional, check in was very easy. However the facilities are very very old and minimal. The walls of our room were worn and stained. Our bathroom was decently clean but had many hairs on the floor. They did have a small common bath that my companion enjoyed. Overall I was very disappointed in our stay and would jot recommend this area to anyone as I assume the hostels in the area would be much more comfortable.

Given what I paid per night, I felt it was definitely worth it. First of all, the location is excellent. It put me at ease that I could simply walk to Kyoto station and without worry that a delayed bus might disrupt my travel timing. They make tea available plus have a really nice coffee machine guests can freely use. Borrowing a yukata at no extra charge is great with the public bath (included with stay). There is a rooftop patio that is beautiful at night time - I really love their set up with the softly glowing lights and patio furniture. They also have a little café with mini retro games, though I didn't try them. I did end up buying an extremely cute fox stress ball from their gift shop (I never saw this fox ball anywhere else)! The rooms are not updated, yet have air conditioning, mini fridge, a strong safe, and good racks for storage/hanging. It is an old establishment, so of course there is visible wear and tear, but given the price point, it is in reasonable condition. I actually had a more comfortable sleep on the futon at this ryokan than a different expensive one. The staff are extremely kind and accommodating - I arrived 2 hours before check-in thinking to just leave my luggage, but they instead got my room ready in just a few minutes! I asked for a towel to wipe off the rain from my luggage and they did it for me!! Plus they are very responsive to feedback - I wrote in about a couple issues, and by the next day they were all addressed. The staff are the best!!

lacking charm of a traditional ryokan

I wouldn't really call this a traditional ryokan. From what I understand, those typically provide meals, or at least breakfast; this does not. The room itself was fine, and as expected, though there was a large, unsightly stain on the floor mat. The bathroom was extremely tiny - felt like a cruise ship bathroom. While it was an easy 15 minute walk from the Kyoto train station, there wasn't much else around and it felt very deserted at night - had to walk 20 minutes to find breakfast each day. Fine, but wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a traditional ryokan experience.
