Should not be on your list

Never come back to this property again. The heater is very noisy, couldn't sleep and the public area is so cold. It's not a ryokan , it s should be a motel.

Worst experience I've ever had with a hotel

The woman at the front desk was rude and tried to demand more money. There were no toiletries in the public bathroom and the light in the bathroom didn't work. It was loud and the walls are thin so you can hear all of the other tenants. The room was dirty and had broken furniture and one small pillow for three beds.

Shinichi, NZ

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
We booked two double rooms with a bathroom. But when we arrived we were put in one tiny room (4 people) with no bathroom and two of the walls were sliding doors to other rooms. This was challenging as my son woke up early in the morning and disturbed the people in the room next door. But what could we do? We didn't have any walls for sound insulation. At first it was suggested by the owner that we just use 3 futons because the room was so small. Two of the pillows did not have pillow cases The owner of the hotel did not understand why we were upset and although she offered us a discount, it was not enough compensation for the inconvenience. On the second night we were given two rooms as we had booked, and we were happy with these rooms. Overall our experience was very disappointing.

3 days of stay

It's an affordable choice for those have a limited budget. However, there are few downsides come along with the cheap price. 1. Japanese style bed may not fit everyone. In my first day staying there, I could hardly get asleep before of the bed :( 2. In hotels.com this hotel seems to be quite close with the train, but actually this train line doesn't fit traveller well, as it cannot go to kyoto station directly.

Terrible experience

The hotel was a great disappointment for us. They didn't find our reservation information from scattered paper notes, then the strict curfew at 24:00 come as an unwelcome surprise. The room had absolutely no sound protection and was next to a busy street with cars passing by all the time. Yet the most disturbing thing was that the room next to us and our room had only a thin sliding door in between and could not be locked! Also when going out we had to leave the keys in to a box near the front door where no one was watching. So you could just take your (or anyone's) key from the box and go to your room. The staff was also quite unwelcoming, and seemed to be annoyed by the presence of customers

Only If Desparate

Be warned - this establishment commonly overbooks, and the room you are expecting may not be available when you arrive. We had reserved an 8 tatami mat room with private bath and were put in a 2 mat room with shared facilities; being a weekend, we had no option but to take the tiny room being offered as nothing else was available in the city. The tatami mats were worn and disintegrating, there was a hole in the wall; the futons were worn thin. While we were given clean sheets and pillowcases, the underlying linen was dirty. There was no lock for the door. The second night, we were moved upstairs to our promised room, which was roomier, but still with disintgrating tatami mats and towels worn and thin as sheets. The host/owner was not friendly or helpful, and often difficult to find around the establishment - leaving the basket of room keys unattended and open for the taking. Then, when we went out for breakast on the morning we were leaving, we returned to our room to find our towels had been removed, before we had even checked out! If for some reason (e.g., budget restrictions) you are forced to stay at Ryokan Ohto, please don't don't judge all ryokans by this one; staying in one of these traditional guest houses/inns, can be a wondrful experience, but you are just not going to get that here.

a different room

i booked a room with a bath, i was told it was available when booking. i arrived in the city late, informed them way ahead. there were no one receiving me, i was told to go to a room, it was 1/2 the size, with no bath. the bath is a floor away. i was later charged a reduced rate. i think a hotel should stick with the room you have booked.

Great Place to stay

I love staying at Ryokan Ohto. Had a chance to experience Japan's traditional room. The room was spacious. Comfort bed. The toilet and shower were clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Surrounded by lovely neighbourhood. Close to the subway station and bus stop.

Family run old style ryokan

At first I was put off by the policy of leaving the key with the staff when going out. Then I understood it is run as a home style lodging, and that my things would be safe, and they needed the keys to clean, change linens an air the rooms on a daily basis. The owner and staff worked hard to keep the place clean. There were some minor inconveniences, but overall we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again.

Good Location But Needs Updating & English speaker

Affordable for Kyoto, in a good location. Proprietress had an error with our rsvp which took too long to sort out and we noticed other English speaking guests experienced the same issue. Japanese speaking guests seemed to have no problems, however, without any language barriers. If you are a light sleeper do not sleep on the first floor as the rooms are adjacent to the entry hall where you can hear absolutely everything. Would only recommend to heavy sleepers on a budget.

It is good enough

If you look something japanese and cheap, this hotel is the solution. It is not so far from kyoto station, i had to use google to find it, but is a good option to spend the nigh. You have to remember to arrive early, o maybe there will not be some bosy to receive you.

Don't stay here--I should have listened

Upon arriving at this place, I was shocked to learn that to get to our room, we had to climb up to the roof beyond the 4th floor and exit outside onto the roof. The room was a free-standing makeshift shanty built on top of the roof. The shower was a separate free-standing shanty on the roof. The bed sheets were clearly not washed and had hair on them.

Small hotel, poor location, expensive

Small Japanese-style hotel. Walk up a very narrow staircase. Small room, not all with en-suite facilities. Poor location. Would only consider if the room rate was very competitive (which it wasn't), but it was the only room available for New Year's eve.

Beware!

On arrival we were told that they had double booked our two rooms and they tried to make us leave telling us that they had cancelled our booking. This turned out to be a lie. As we speak some japanese and were very firm about having booked and paid in advance they gave us our rooms. Later when we were out they packed our bags and moved them to another very small room. Fortunately our daughter who had decided to stay in for the day caught them and told them to return the bags. Maybe this was a one off, but can i recommend this hard to find place. No no no!

老闆完全沒有站在住宿者的立場去經營民宿，牙刷沒有牙膏，只給看起來有點髒的薄浴巾而且沒有洗臉毛巾，沐浴乳和洗髮精還加水稀釋，真是糟透了。 第一天提早到飯店想說先寄放行李，老闆竟然還要收寄放費1000日幣，更誇張還多算我住宿費用，後來拿預定的電腦單才退我錢，非常不愉快的住宿~

struttura carina ma gestione pessima

Posizione ottima e camere tradizionali molto carine. Purtroppo molte note negative: - mi hanno chiesto il pagamento in contanti anche se da sito accettavano carta di credito. Ho dovuto insistere per poter utilizzare la carta - questo potrebbe essere un misunderstanding: avevo richiesto una camera con bagno e mi hanno dato una camera con bagno comune (per le altri camere era indicato il fatto che fosse condiviso, io avevo scelto questo ryokan proprio per il bagno privato) - ho pagato più di quanto scritto sulla prenotazione e non sono stata l'unica: altri ospiti hanno avuto lo stesso problema e la responsabile alla richiesta di spiegazioni ha messo le scarpe ed è uscita... - ci siamo fermati più di una settimana e non ci sono stati dati nè lenzuola pulite (ovviamente non ci aspettavamo di averle pulite tutti i giorni ma almeno un cambio...) nè asciugamani nuovi (qua un po' più problematico, ho dovuto cercare io dove erano tenuti quelli puliti) - l'armadio porta-futon era zeppo di roba vecchia di proprietà del ryokan: per noi nessun problema ma non abbiamo trovato molto corretto che le camere degli ospiti venissero usate come magazzino, soprattutto per il prezzo pagato Il ryokan non è male nè come posizione nè come struttur,a ma abbiamo trovato la responsabile molto scortese

Déception

La propriétaire n'est pas accueillante, pas d'explications, une erreur involontaire (j'ose le croire)sur le prix à payer, pas de taie d'oreiller, pas de thé, quatre nuits et pas de dialogue avec cette dame. Nous sommes restés 18 jours au Japon, c'est la première fois qu'on est reçu de cette façon. Nous y avions été il y a six ans, le ryokan était tenu pas son fils, c'était plus accueillant et plus chaleureux, d'où cette nouvelle réservation....Mais quelle déception.

交通の便がよい和風旅館

京阪本線七条大橋駅から至近の宿。京都駅へのバスの停留所にも近い。私が泊まったのは、古い和室で、非常に狭いトイレ・バスのユニットがついていた。布団は粗末だが、寝るだけならば十分だ。　エアコンもついている。　　部屋の鍵はかかるが、外出時に鍵を箱の中に入れさせるのだが、他の宿泊者の鍵を取っていくことができる情況でセキュリティ上、不安になる。
