The staff were very friendly and it is very well located right next to Nishiki market. The breakfast was incredibly good. This was my first ryokan experience and I loved it. My only complaint is that there was a bit of noise outside early in the morning.
Very friendly and sweet couple running the ryokan. The made you feel like you were home. The ryokan was very clean and the rooms were spacious. We appreciated the private bathroom and also used the public bath. They provided hot water and tea along with wonderful cookies. We really like the location which was adjacent to Nishiki Market. We would definitely stay here again.
It was so nice. I went with 4 of my friends (5 including me). The place wasnât so big, pretty small inn. The old man and old lady welcomed us extremely kindly and were engaging in conversations. They try their very best speaking English so they can appeal to the foreigners and I thought that was very nice. The public bath was also small, but was well taken care of, I had a nice bath and well rested sleep. Inside the rooms we were provided with Yukata, very comfortable to sleep in. They even offer snacks as a freebie on the table inside the room. Next to the Nishiki Market. Overall, such an amazing place. I would definitely book again if I ever go back to Kyoto!
Lovely bed-and-breakfast inn, with owner staying at one of the units.
Convenient location from the main shopping & restaurant area, and also walkable to subway.
Hard to hail taxi outside of the hotel when we need to go to the airport. So the hotel calls taxi for us. We waited for about 10 min before the taxi came, which is ok.
The room has tatami floor, which is one of the reasons we chose this inn. Room was warm at night, with a temperature control inside the room that we can adjust & turn on/off.
The bathroom in our unit was the Japanese type. A little chair was available inside to sit down & take shower. There is a bath tub too.
The onsen on 2/F is tiny but comfortable. Can fit 2 people at most, or 3 people who are close to each other, I'd say. Otherwise it would be very crowded to use the onsen. There are only 2 bathing slots at the onsen anyway. The changing room outside the onsen is tiny, which was fine for us 2 people.
The breakfast in the morning was filling & look VERY beautiful. It was the reason why my sister chose to stay at this hotel, and it's worth it! :)
Hotel can keep our bags at the common area outside of reception after check-out, which is very helpful for us to go around the city on our last day.
The only question we have is why the room was only half-cleaned when we went back in the evening. We had 2 beds on the tatami floor, but only 1 bed was nearly tidied up -- the other bed was clearly not tidied up at all. Strange.
