    No curtains so very bright at sunrise especially at summer which can be around 4-5am.

    The traditional flooring and walls, free yukata, plenty of spare bedding, very close to the bus station and train station

    The bathroom feels a little cramped since the sink is in the shower. Not quite the ryokan we expected but it is fair for the price.

    The location is very convenient, close to Kyoto station. The room has a good size. The staff is very friendly and polite, and speaks english.

    The room was clean but there was quite a bit of dust built up behind the toilet seat. The coin laundry service hours were from the late morning to early evening so we essentially could not use them because we didn't want to spend half a day of our stay doing laundry. There is a great laundromat 2 minutes away though, that is open from early until midnight. The staff forgot to give us towels the day we arrived.

    Great to stay in a traditional Ryokan. Very friendly staff and not many available at this price.

    We had a room on the ground floor. This was ok in april but I would'nt stay in this room in july-august because alle the air conditioning units where outside the room. It would be great if somebody would clean every once in a while the reception room.

    The location was great.

    Have to be very quiet because of older construction and quiet area. A little expensive for me but probably good considering the area.

    Very central but still in a quiet area, close to kyoto station (10-20min walk) Clean, good towels and futons Tiny elevator Older style, plaster walls but no paper windows

    The bathroom was a little small for my tall friend but other than that, it wasn't too bad.

    Great location close to the station. Friendly English speaking staff who are very helpful with suggestions for local spots too. Although it was a small Ryokan, the room was perfect size for the 3 of us. No complaints here as we only stayed for 1 night.
