My husband and I visited as a present from our son and stayed in room 203, Mai. From the time you make your reservation over the phone, you will be attended to by a foreign employee, but it is okay to speak Japanese. There are 6 rooms, all of which are suites, in a well-maintained old private house. When we made a reservation for dinner, we were asked to go to a nearby Kyoto restaurant, and we had a course for 15,000 yen per person, which was exquisite. I lived in Sakyo Ward during my university days. I used to ride around in cars and motorcycles, but I didn't have this luxury because I used money differently than I do now.

Located in Kamishichiken, this is an inn that has an appearance that can be described as typical of Kyoto.On the day, I was assisted by Nepali staff, and I felt they were very enthusiastic and hospitable.I felt that they were working much harder than the strange Japanese people.The room is clean and the breakfast is of high quality and I am very satisfied.thank you very much.

The people at the front desk were also very kind and nice.The location is Kamishichiken, so it's not a busy place, so it's suitable for people who want to spend a quiet time.I feel like there aren't many restaurants around, so I thought it would be a good idea to finish somewhere and then go back to the hotel.

Amazing room with huge comfortable bed and baths. We had one open air bath and one indoors and both were amazing. Only stayed one night but wish we stayed longer. Location isn't great since it's far from the center and we had issues with finding restaurants that didn't need reservations. So I recommend booking a restaurant reservation ahead of time, or eating at the hotel. Unfortunately for us the hotel didn't have food when we visited on a Wednesday. And lots of places are closed on Wednesdays! So keep that in mind when booking.

I do not recommend you stay here.Here is a detailed review of our one night stay:When we arrived, check-in process was quite smooth and they explained all the features of our room. It was evident right away that this is NOT a ryokan. We booked the room with the private onsen and private Japanese garden and paid $694.00 CAD fees included for one night.Pros:- the staff were eager to please. We had a few requests upon arrival and they were right on top of them.- the ‘onsen’ which was just an outdoor bathtub was quite nice and relaxing.- the room was not bad. Not worth what we paid but not terrible.Cons:- we paid $694CAD for a PRIVATE Japanese ryokan… this was not it. This is a hotel straight up. Our ‘privacy’ was cut out from the PUBLIC garden area. While there was a bamboo screen which you could not see through, this was a far cry from private. This alone is a deal breaker.- all night, we could hear every noise the guests above us made. For a private experience that you pay near $700 CAD for (approx 75000¥), this is unacceptable.- they have an indoor/outdoor bath which is nice when 2 people want to bathe at the same time except for the fact that we found BLACK MOLD in the corners of the inside bathroom. This poses a major health risk.- this place has a cheap attempt to incorporate modern fixtures with traditional Japanese looks. Some of the doors are glass sliding doors, there is a tv, a keurig (ew), and each room has its own AC. The living room AC is good and works great. The bedroom AC took a lot of figuring out. We ended up asking the staff for help and they pointed out that the lowest temperature possible for the unit to function is 23 degrees Celsius. This is not cold enough for a good night sleep. My point is, if you are going to include modern fixtures, do it right. I would have preferred that they keep it traditional.- room also smells and feels very musty and damp all the time. They have a dehumidifier but it doesn’t seem to help.- room was clean but there were scuff marks everywhere and signs of wear everywhere. I’m not sure if this is the look they are going for but Japanese people are known for being clean and caring for their things. This was not a representation of that.- in their guide booklet, most of their recommendations are closed.- some hotel staff are Japanese, some are not. The ones that are not neither speak English well (to be expected) NOR JAPANESE!Recap: DO NOT STAY HERE. This place is barely worth $100CAD per night. This is NOT a ryokan. If you want that, I think you have to completely leave the city. This is NOT PRIVATE. There is some MAJOR FALSE ADVERTISING.

This is no ryokan, just a small house with one room with a garden and every other rooms are just regular "hotel rooms" at tops. Maybe the one room with the garden is worth it, but the others are not. The place is away from everything, super expensive (450 USD a night for a room with windows covered with paper mach), and not even with elevator. Staff is super friendly, but this is a very misguiding advertising. They should only rent the main room with a garden to fulfill what they advertise. Not recommended.

We are satisfied with our stay in this hotel. The hotel is clean, the rooms are huge and beautiful.The staff is helpful and available.However, the price remains high for the hotel's services, its out-of-the-way location and the rustic nature of the hotel (poor soundproofing, noise in the night, TV that turns on by itself)

The rooms were modern in Japanese style and were well-maintained.The location was great as you could walk from the hotel to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in less than 5 minutes.

It was a good experienceIt is easy to stay as a couple as it has a private hot spring bath.Most of the people at the front desk are foreigners, but the customer service is perfect! Increase your likeability!Room 102 had a well on the balcony, so it was a bit scary...you couldn't see to the bottom...There is a 700 yen parking lot for 12 hours about a 2-3 minute walk away, so it's super convenient.

It was a loss for me to stay.When I first opened the door, an old man who looked like a manager in his 50s was sitting at the bar where the customers were sitting, playing with a computer.He didn't even ask me if he was welcome, and asked me, ``What's your name?'' Then please go to the back.'' I was guided. At this point, the tension is dropping. By the way, the foreign female staff is very hardworking and perfect. I feel good about it.When I entered the room, I noticed that there was garbage in the trash can with Hangul characters, probably from the previous Korean customer. Is this a love hotel?The bedside table was covered in dust and exposed wiring. That's terrible.This price is seriously too high for this service.Worst cost performance.When traveling to Kyoto, I recommend paying a little more and staying at Nazuna.Experience the difference in hospitality.

The room was clean and the dinner was delicious. The atmosphere around the accommodation is also good.However, the air conditioner in the room was too noisy. It was like being in the middle of a typhoon. Both have two air conditioners.I can't sleep very well when I put this on. That being said, mornings in Kyoto are cold. As expected, there is a problem with the air conditioning, so it is impossible to visit again.

Food ○, customer service ✕, room ○, service ✕, and the only alcohol available is beer and plum wine. What do you mean? There were various things written on the menu, but they weren't all there, and the staff seemed inexperienced, I wonder if something has warmed up here recently.

The service was terrible. The concierge were foreigners who were not proficient in English Or Japanese. Offered no help with the luggage both during check in and out.Staff were not familiar with the surrounding district and could not offer any useful information besides an info sheet. They did not know the local festival despite the fact that the ryokan was advertising it!Asked us to book and pay for breakfast. Then called 10 minutes later saying we had missed the breakfast booking timing (it was 6pm the previous day).Very very disappointing.100% not worth the price.

Luxury ryokan.It is not in the center, but it is 2 minutes from the bus. So the area is super quiet at night.The room is huge, the bed super comfortable and in the room we stayed we had a shower, bathtub and a bathtub for one outside which gives it a super romantic touch.The room has all the amenities, it also has a closet that not all hotels in Japan have.The staff is excellent and the Japanese breakfast is quite complete. A 10 to go as a couple

We had an excellent stay here! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Our room had a private onsen which was the perfect way unwind after a full day of exploring.

Extremely romantic, peaceful and beautiful hotel. Rooms are clean, well-thought of amenities including bath soak for the soaking tub outside (if you book the downstairs room with soaking tub). Location isn’t central but that means you’re away from the city noise and can experience Kyoto.

Customer service was not customer service. One night and two meals included, but at check-in, I was shown where my room was, how to open and close the door, and was only asked about breakfast time. They didn't tell me if breakfast would be delivered to my room or where to have dinner unless I asked. The place for dinner was a restaurant outside the hotel, but I thought they would direct me to the restaurant, but they just told me the direction and the name of the restaurant. There was no guidance on how to use the open-air bath in the room, and the customer service was comparable to that of an old business hotel. When I checked out, I didn't know about additional drinks at the restaurant, so I had to wait a lot.
