The beds were uncomfortable. The staff were nice but very limited English. Breakfast was ok.

The location was excellent. Nearby train station and lots of fun areas to walk at night.

Our room felt a little bit old, there was a spot where the wallpaper was coming off or was stained, I forgot. We paid 380 Canadian dollars (1 night, 2 meals) which is more than the Japanese style room we had in Fujikawaguchiko with view on the Mont Fuji. Fortunately, the meal experience and the staff made up for it

The service is top notch. It's what you expect from Japan staff. This place will give immerse five you a full immersion. We had 2 meals, dinner and breakfast. All very Japanese. "what are we eating" and "it's beautiful and yummy". The diner room was very lively during our stay and the other guests were all speaking (loudly) Japanese.

The staff were fantastic. We made a mistake regarding what train we had to catch on the day we had to check out. We were confused by the train website and transfer times. We rang and the staff kindly let us check out earlier than we had intended. Thank you very much for your flexibility and accommodating our schedule so last minute. You made our trip much less stressful and we were able to make our train and transfers as a result. We greatly appreciate it and apologise for any inconvenience we caused. Thank you very much. The hotel is lovely, quiet, and clean. We highly recommend staying here.

Property a bit dated. Hallway carpets can use a deep cleaning or replacement.

Very nice stay. Enjoyed the traditional tatami room. Tea set and hot thermos provided. Yukata provided. Nice location on a peaceful street with nice atmosphere; easy to walk to the historic center as well as the modern busy shopping street.

Uncomfortable pillows Rooms are a little dated and need some updates

I chose this property as I read a lot about getting a ryokan when visiting Kyoto. The location is fantastic, the big room overlooked the river and had a nice terrace with plenty of storage space and a large bathroom.

Loved the location, on the river.Loved the traditional breakfast. It was varied and delicious. We felt pampered. The property was close to Gion District and Pontocho Alley.

The facilities were a little old, but still clean and well kept.

Location was amazing - in front of a quiet street with a beautiful canal with cherry blossoms, and close to a river.

Rather worn property. There were 2 futons each, but pretty hard...to be expected in ryokan, but one and done for me.

Excellent dinner and breakfast. Different meal each time. Lovely view of the river from the restaurant. This staff was wonderful. Felt well taken care of. Nice to stay in traditional room. Sitting area in the room was comfortable with nice view of cherry blossoms. Very convenient to all of east side of town.

It's unfortunate that there was no onsen to completely enjoy the ryokan experience.

The room was bright and spacious. Theres just something comforting about the traditional rooms that you can't get from a modern hotel. There is also green tea available in the room to rest and relax after a long day visiting shrines. The breakfast was tasty and had a wide array of food cooked Japanese style. It was also overlooking the river that allows for a good view while enjoying our meals.

Temperature conditioning , the room was a little cold with only one airco in the corner of the room.

Fantastic experience of the Japanese hostel culture and comfort.

sleeping on the thin mats for 3 nights was a little uncomfortable but I doubled up two mats to have more comfort on the last night

such a peaceful stay, the decor is traditional and minimalistic. lovely area and view over the river. the kaiseki dinner and breakfast were exquisite - each dish like a work of art and perfectly balanced.

Could do with a couple more hooks/shelves but I understand that that might compromise the traditional aesthetic.

Great location and the tradition decor. Staff were very polite and helpful. They even have a closet for your luggage.

Slightly older hotel, but still nice.

Slightly old hotel with rooms that are ryokan themed. Large rooms with plenty of space. River view was nice too and staff was friendly and patient.
