The mattress of the bed were very hard. This is the last thing we didn't like.

The Ryokan was very beautiful, we liked the Japanese old style. It seemed to be back in samurai era.

The showers were powered by a button you need to press after some seconds which made washing my hair a bit uncomfortable but it’s literally the only con I could find about the place.

We absolutely loved staying at Q-beh Ryokan. It was clean, cosy and well equipped. If you want to live the full experience of sleeping in a ryokan in gorgeous Gion geisha and shrine neighbourhood, definitely choose to stay here. Just 2 blocks from Yasaka shrine and just around the corner of most outstanding lovely streets of Gion. Also 2 blocks from city bus stop to roam around the city easily. I was a bit sceptical about sleeping in a ryokan but honestly my back felt quite relieved after resting there, specially after walking around 10 km per day. The price is also very convenient for a weekend and you can have access to a very nicely equipped kitchen to even cook your own meals- lovely Gion restaurants are also just 10 min walk.

The stay was great, my only issue I had was with the mattress provided. It was fine, but I'm used to cushy European-style bedding. That's not the hotel's fault, if anything it gives you a more authentic ryokan experience.

The location was very clean, had great facilities, wonderful staff, and was very close to many of the major shrines in the area! I was able to walk everywhere I needed to in Gion, plus it isn't far from the train station if you want to venture out.

It felt a lot like our family was staying in a hostel. Loud conversations in the evening right outside of our room.

The view from our window was very serene!

The staff was extremely friendly, the hotel's location is amazing. We were a 10 min walk away from historical sites, temples, and the city center. The hotel itself is an amazing traditional place. 10/10 would recommend, and already planning to stay here the next time!

All was really good, maybe it could be the beds, but they had the option to gave you an extra bed layer, so it's something easy to solve.

It was a very nice and wide room with comodities and an incredible view of a japanese traditional interior garden. It was very nice !

The futons were a bit hard but probably not harder than futons are usually. The staff were very helpful with getting us an extra mattress.

The staff was so kind and helpful. Great location and clean showers and toilet. Coffee and tee provided for free in the kitchen. Would really recommend!

Great location in the Gion district. Not hard to find. About 20mins from the station on bus 206. Great Japanese style interior with sliding doors, tatami mats etc. Staff helpful. You have to take your shoes off

Nothing comes to mind as property was near to most places that I wanted to go. Just that it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest convenient store or bus stop but i think that’s manageable.

It’s near the Gion area (near Ninenzaka and my stay was comfortable. The kitchen and common areas to hang around were clean and the really liked the bed was comfortable and toilets were super clean. Plus point was that I meet and talked to fellow travellers and even made a friend during my stay there.

The shower room is a bit small. The room lock is not very easy to use; you need to press the door inward slightly to lock and unlock it easily.

The front desk staff speaks fluent English, making communication smooth. The dormitory rooms are very comfortable and offer good privacy. The location is near Yasaka Shrine, and it's close to Kiyomizu Temple and Chion-in Temple. It's also conveniently near a bus stop for traveling to other places.

The Ryoken is not for people with back aches and with the amount of walking we did.

I really liked to stay here , perfect location and ultra clean hostel with very polite and helpful staff.

Be aware that the nearest train station is about 15-20 minutes away by foot. Not a big deal but should be considered with heavy luggage. Not the fault of the property! Since it is an traditional ryokan (house), keep in mind that it gets cold at night if the temperatures drop. We visited beginning of May and it was a bit chilly to sleep. Blankets were not that thick.

Beautiful house from the outside as well as the inside. Staff was very friendly and helpful, spoke English well. The location is amazing as it is surrounded by the beautiful houses and streets of Gion. Many famous sightseeing spots are close by. Shared bathrooms were not difficult at all, as there are many separate toilets and showers in good condition. Kitchen area well equipped to prepare food.

No elevator so it can be hard if you have some health issues but the stairs weren't too steep. One problem for me in the girl dormitory was the locking system: to go in and out of the dormitory, you have to use a key every time as there's no automatic locker: it can be a bit noisy so it disturbs people's sleep.

Very cute guesthouse, and good location. It was quiet despite sleeping in a dorm, and the beddings were very clean and comfortable. The capsule size was much bigger than average, which is very convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating too. I ll come again!

Location is convenient. Cosy and friendly environment . The staff and other guests are friendly too. Communal shower and toilets areas are segregated booths and are simple to use.

I don’t have much to say about what I don’t like as the property itself was pretty amazing; we only found that others staying at Q-beh were less respectful of quiet hours/being loud earlier morning and into the evening.

I love that you're in the heart of Gion and there are so many shrines, popular streets and areas to explore. I also really enjoy staying in a single room with a tatami floor and a very comfortable futon and pillow. Facilities are very clean and instructions for everything are very clear. The staff are also great and very helpful if you need anything! Nice to have a communal kitchen as well.

Good location, A fairly comfortable room for two, with a traditional Japanese style at a good price.
