10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable place to stay with friendly and helpful staff. Dinner and breakfast was also delicious
Angela, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location, just minutes from Kyoto station (although it took us forever to figure out how to get out of the station!) we had a very comfortable one night here in a this traditional ryokan. Very friendly staff and we enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast before checking out. It was located on a side street between other ryokans also. Would recommend for travelers wanting to experience a quieter and traditional and classic ryokan.

We were very warmly welcomed and everyone did the best to make the best of our stay- a pleasant surprise were the bicycles we good use, even free of charge. The japanese breakfast was great.

Humble ryokan in Kyoto. The building and facilities are a bit dated, nothing fancy but does the job. Public bath available until midnight. Breakfast included and it was very good.

Excellent first ryokan experience!

Pros: Walking distance from Kyoto station Breakfast was excellent If you pick the half board option, you will also be served a traditional Japan dinner which is an amazing experience Cons: Shared public bath might come as a cultural shock to some

It was our first time staying at a Ryokan. The room was clean and very comfortable, especially the beds. The dinner and breakfast was phenomenal. Service was smooth and very good. It was an amazing experience. We left feeling well rested.

Extremely convenient location (5min walk from JR Kyoto Station), and they will help to store baggages for you after checkout! Lovely staff. Dinner was also delicious.
Cong, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Comfortable and convenient

This was a great base for visiting Kyoto, near the station and easy to find. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious and had lots of choice. Not all the front desk staff spoke English, but they were friendly and helpful, and we got sorted everything out, including sending our luggage back to Tokyo successfully.

Unforgettable ryokan experience

Convenient location very close to Kyoto station. Staffs are very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast and dinner are unforgettable. We are happy to stay in ryokan instead chain hotel in Kyoto. Unique experience!
2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staying at Hifumi Ryokan was awesome! The staff there was always ready to help out and some even knew some English! The room itself was comfortable and sleeping on the futons was not much different than sleeping on a regular bed. The breakfast was very traditional and has good and bad points to it if you are not used to it. However, the location of Hifumi cannot be understated. It is right next to Kyoto Station so it is very easy to go to places like Osaka or Nara for the day and come back.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The entire time in this ryokan was amazing. such a convenient location to the Kyoto Station - made it easy to travel around. English is somewhat minimal with staff, but they understood us and they were so accommodating. Everyone was so friendly and nice! We had such a great time there. We appreciated the kimonos/yukatas we got to wear. The bath house was great, not too hot. AMAZING! Highly recommend to anyone!
Whitney, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pros and Cons. Pros: The hotel staff is very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. The food is plentiful and they go out of their way to give a full range of traditional Japanese food. Cons: The hotel is dated and while the rooms are clean, they are somewhat worn and run-down. For example, holes in the screens, worn carpet, older fixtures, stains on walls, etc. The location is excellent (5 min walk from Kyoto station and a block away from a convenience store). The food experience was fun for our family of 5. Our only food suggestion would be to have more of an explanation for what we were eating (but it was a bit of an adventure to try new things). Overall, staying here is not a bad choice. It just seems that for the money, it should have been a little better maintained.
Kevin, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I booked the room with board (meals) and emailed them a month early with my food allergies (sesame and nuts) and also provided them a list of my allergies along with the translation of it in Japanese the day I arrived. I asked multiple staff members if they could accommodate my allergies. They assured me yes. I ate their meal and immediately had an allergic reaction. I called the waitress over and said "does this have sesame?!" and she said "oh yes, that food does, don't eat that"! I spent the next 10 hours throwing up in my room and could not enjoy the facilities. This was unbelievable to spend almost $150 on the meal - and to have their staff lie to me after I checked 1 month early, the day of, and even provided them the list in Japanese, and to immediately eat something with sesame in it. They assured me the food was safe and clearly they could have cared less. I wish I could get my money back. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES.
