The property was wonderful. It was clean, aesthetically pleasing, and we were provided with all the amenities we needed such as microwave, kettle, toothpaste and toothbrush etc. The reception was close to Kyoto station which was convenient and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They transported our luggage to the house free of charge while we were sightseeing. Additionally, they booked for us a taxi to take us to the train station after we checked out. Overall, I am extremely happy with this booking.

The property is a Japanese style townhouse with bedrooms upstairs but all other amenities downstairs. It worked really well for us as we travelled with an older teenager so were able to have separate bedrooms which are adjacent and separated by a screen door which could be opened to join the two bedrooms together. Downstairs there was a lounge area, kitchen area with fridge, microwave and one cooking hob. The bathroom and toilet were separate, the bathroom had a washing machine which was great as we were mid trip and could wash essential items. In terms of location there are shrines in walking distance and the Gion area too. We were fortunate enough to see a Geisha. The bus stop just up the road also was easy to use for trips. There are also other train lines within walking distance as is the shopping area. Once we had our bearings getting around was really easy. Lots of places to eat close by.

The location of the place is amazing - right in Gion, but in a lovely small alley - so it's quite and nice. But as you get out of your alley, it's close to everything - small restaurants, alleys and a bus station that will take you mostly anywhere. The place was great, with everything we needed.

Such an amazing experience, rather than just being accomodation. It gave a glimpse into another way of life and had lovely moments like staring at the beautiful shadows of the leaves against the windows at night in the bedroom or looking out at the little garden while in the shower.

We had to pick up te key at Hotel Rinn Kyoto station, which is only 10 min. walk from Kyoto station. The reception arranged a taxi for us to the house, so very convenient. The house is a lovely Machiya, a typical small cityhouse from the past. But all modern and comfortably decorated. It is obviously pretty small, with a small living room a small kitchen and bath room. But all very cosy and nice and clean. In a small ( dead end) street and a 2m garden at the back. Very quiet! If you open the windows, a green and relaxed atmosphere pops in from outside. TWo bedroom, one with tatami mat and Futon and the other one with 2 Low beds on the ground. The location is in the heart of Gion, close to supermarket and plenty of temples. Great location!

Very helpful staff, even brought umbrellas we forgot. Great bathroom. Great location even if you want to travel outside Kyoto, the bus stop is about 3 min walk and you can get to the main station in few minutes. Hotel leaves plenty of guides and instructions to make the stay very comfortable.

Lovely Ryokan stay. What you see is what you get. Clean. Functional in a small space. AC worked well. Walking distance to everything. Property owner very responsive. Right next to the beautiful Geisha district. Quiet. NOTE: not for old people because the stairs are very tiny and steep to get up to the bedroom. And bathroom is on the main floor.

Free taxi, and it felt like home. Really comfortable and front desk was very detailed and accommodating. In my accommodating party one of our friends lost his passport on the way to the check in spot but the front desk still called the previous places to ask. They didn’t have to but they still did, which is above and beyond. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

The location was great, right in the traditional area of Kyoto. The street was quiet and safe. We loved the traditional feel of the accomodation.

The vibes were really nice. The place feels just like a traditional Japanese townhouse, and it was a really fresh and enjoyable experience. Of course, some parts (particularly the toilet) were very nicely modernised. It's also really convenient to be within walking distance to attractions such as Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Shrine.
