The best value for a hotel and onsen in Kyoto. We loved the restaurant and bathhouse. Nothing better than walking 30k steps and coming back to this hotel to relax in the spacious rooms, hot bath and tea room. Staff is friendly. It's a bit out of the way, and a decent walk from any train station, but the 8 minute walk from station to front door is worth every step.

Such a fun stay. The room was cleaned each day of our stay and the amenities were so wonderful. Not a far walk from a train station and there were a handful of restaurants a short walk away. Staff was very quick and efficient with accommodations and requests and they thoroughly explained all the amenities they had to offer.

Amazing traditional accommodation. The onsen on site is nice, tattoo friendly! Make sure to have dinner there as there is plenty to choose from and great value. We had a massage done on site and it was one of the best ones we’ve ever had. Highly recommend

We were hoping to have a Ryokan living experience instead we got a below average accommodation and service . The place was not very clean . There was limited food options inside the hotel and outside area didnt have much to offer either . We had to walk quite a bit from hotel to take train . Or we had to do uber . This “hotel” is in the middle of residential area . Which is just weird . Limited hours for front desk . Check out was a hard 10 am which was very annoying. They gave us slippers to wear inside the room which is fine but the one for bathroom looked used - Gross! Inside the room for the basic amenities like fridge tea tray all were just old and dilapidated looking . I am all for simple living experience but dirty I cant stand. Shower was another challenge. It was a short length hand shower attached outside fo bathtub . Only my 11 year could use it , rest of us had to bend down in wierd positions to use it . Overall a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone . If you have want to have a pleasant Rykon experience please do your research and find something else . So disappointing!

This was exactly what we wanted. We got the traditional Japanese experience in Kyoto. The transit was a small walk through a quiet and safe neighborhood. They had a restaurant that we ate at and a nice traditional Japanese breakfast. The small beds on the floor were a surprise to us all how comfortable they were. Loved this experience!

A traditional Japanese 'O fulu' bath hotel, you can experience the typical tatami style room and enjoy the public indoor and outdoor public bath. Only problem is the location, a bit far from the transpotation, you might need to call uber every time going out.

My daughter and I stayed here for one night and stayed in the Japanese style room. It was very comfortable and we had the traditional breakfast in the morning. The food was ok it wasn't to my daughters liking, but I enjoyed mine. The only negative I could say is that Expedia did not inform us of the extra $90CAD we had to pay for the Tourist Tax. Apart from that the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and well maintained.
