It was a very unique experience. They were agreeable, and when language was a barrier, even those who didn't know English, they were fluent enough to understand what you were saying and what you wanted/needed and delivered promptly. While I did attempt to use my limited Japanese, it was just that, limited. Whenever I'm in Kyoto again, I would likely come back to this Inn.

Fue una buena experiencia hospedarnos en un Ryokan, sin embargo, el hotel ya está viejito. El baño terminal está excelente! El personal súper amable, siempre atendiendo con una sonrisa!

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
駅から離れているため、徒歩で観光してる場合は、不便です。バスは近くから出でますが、夜に出歩く際は、人通りも少ないので少し不安になります。 夜の飲食店も徒歩圏内には少ないので、当館で晩御飯食べてゆっくりするのが良いかと思います。 ベッドがスプリングが肌身に感じ、温泉の塩素によるものなのか、寝る時は肌があちこち痒くなってしまいました。 枕はカバーは洗ってありますが、枕自体が古く、加齢臭がカバーを通してして気持ち悪くなり使えず、代わりにクローゼットにある柔らかい枕に手を伸ばしたところ、黄色のシミだらけで、ゾッとしました…。また、部屋の空調なのか、止めてもずっと音がしていて、なかなか寝付けず、朝ぐったり。 温泉があるから、まだそこは良しですが、衛生面気にされる方には不向きかと思います。
