Awful. Old ryokan, they put us in a small room without a window, and very expensive and we asked to change so as not to be left with such a bad memory of what for us had to be a beautiful experience in a traditional ryokan in Kyoto. In the end they gave us a superior room with windows but we still had to pay a lot more, very expensive and bad accommodation.Very friendly receptionist, comp everyone in Japan.A room without a window and costing more than 200 euros should be prohibited.

A pearl! A welcome that is both professional, very warm and full of little touches. The room is prettier than in the photos, I was pleasantly surprised by its size, and I felt comfortable there immediately. …

had an amazing stay here! arrived at the ryokan early and they were able to accommodate early check in. welcome drink (matcha) was a really nice touch too! staff were really friendly and there was just a very home-ly vibe at the ryokan.room was clean, comfortable and had everything i needed. they even gifted me a ceramic coaster on my second night which was a really pleasant surprise! breakfast was filling and delicious. i opted for their dinner and the experience was great! food were mostly delicious, though i wished they had more premium dishes. but overall, still a lovely experience. public bath was tiny but cozy and comfortable. location wise, about a 8mins walk to most busstops and a 12mins walk to jr kyoto.overall, this stay exceeded my expectations! everything was well thought out and the staff were extremely friendly :) highly recommend to solo travellers.
