  My wife and i spent 3 nights here. Super friendly staff. I love the breakfast setting. In addition, interesting rules and experience in the hotel. One thing I'd suggest to improve is that the mirror and shower head in the washroom are too low. I'm average height but i can't see above my neck when standing in front of the mirror. Room 3, staff 6, location 5, therefore on average rounded up to 5 for total score.

  Loved the ryokan experience. We stayed in a traditional room. I woke up with a sore back, sore ribs, and a sore many other things, which was probably a combination of the hard floor and the fact that I move around too much in my sleep, but otherwise, I loved sleeping on the futon. I liked the small Mitsubishi TV. I didn't know Mitsubishi TVs existed. And as an American, the coffee machine made me laugh! If you can read Japanese, you'll see what I mean. I love it. The view from the ryokan was also nice in the room we got. We had an awesome traditional breakfast in the ryokan, too. We were served delicious food. I remember the Miso, egg juice in a bowl (wish I knew what it was called), pickled plum, green tea... Unfortunately I forgot the rest, but I remember it tasted delicious! It was in a great location, too. I loved walking around nearby. Walked past many small ramen shops and cafes that I would have loved to go to if I had the time. Many great places within walking distance. There is a big, beautiful temple close by with lots of big koi fish and lilies in the surrounding moat.

  Locking the doors at midnight and opening at 6AM is such a bad rule. Failed to let me know that the extra charge I paid to extend my friend and my stay for an extra night was only for one person. Such an expensive charge for an old-smelling (not sure how else to explain it) hotel thats not even full?? Otherwise service was really nice and the room is pretty spacious.

  The location of this hotel is excellent. It has the old-fashioned style inside which u could hardly experienced in other hotels, but they couldn't provide free bottle water for guests (all others provided in my ttrip. btw, the breakfast is ok since it is japanese traditional style, it would not so good if u wanna enjoy western breakfast.

  This was a great little ryokan. It was extremely convenient to Kyoto station being directly across the street. This allows you to easily access trains, subways, and buses. The staff was extremely nice and helpful as well. They received my wife's luggage that was sent from the airport and the staff delivered it to our room. They would call the room to make sure it was vacant or to see if we wanted the room cleaned. They also double checked to see when we wanted the futons put down. This place is also very affordable. You can opt out of the food which keeps prices down. The only major draw back was the 12am curfew.
