Great stay and friendly staff
This is a great location if you want to get away but still be close to the action. Trains and bus routes are all close by which is a huge plus if you're traveling to any of the shrines or bamboo forest. Nikishi market is a 10 min walk and all the hidden gem restaurants are close by. Service and staff was amazing. They went above and beyond with being accomadating and helping us foreigners. Would highly recommended

Great hotel, wish there were more instructions in regards to the hotel stay but overall the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were lovely and the bath was great. They are very accommodating in regard to leaving your luggage whilst you wait for check in since it is a later check in time

Decent hotel with large rooms and a nice public bath but unfortunately lacking any charme. Feels like a faceless Chinese hotel more than a Japanese Ryokan, as which it, at least compared to what a western traveler expects, doesn't classify, despite the Tatami floors and the futon beds. They are child friendly though, so I would recommend it for families like us who share a room with 1 kid.

Japanischer Stil toll, der Kaffee zum Frühstück war allerdings dem Niveau des Hotels nicht angemessen (Nescafé). Dann lieber gar keinen Kaffee
The hotel room is spacious and beautifully decorated. It provides excellent amenities including a public bath, though we didn’t use, and great breakfast. It's located in a quiet part of Kyoto but with easy access to metro and walkable to the busy shopping area, imperial palace and niji castle.
