Good location but poor quality.

The bed is old and not so clean. The quality of hotel is not worth to pay so much.

とても良い宿です。

親戚の結婚式の為、四世代でお世話になりました。スタッフの方々が大変親切で温かく、また宿泊したい宿でした。大浴場もゆっくり入ることができました。朝ごはんもおいしかったです。 有難うございました。

Ett ställe för natten

Hotellet var lite märkligt, mottagandet när man kom var väldigt personligt men sedan kändes resten av hotellet väldigt opersonligt. Rummet var ett stort rektangulärt rum som kändes väldigt spartanskt, även för att vara ett Ryokan. Det fanns TV och kylskåp men rummet saknade helt atmosfär och kändes nästan lite läskigt. Vi bodde på ett annat Ryokan under samma resa som var betydligt mysigare och exklusivare utan att vara dyrare. Det här stället skulle jag bara rekommendera som en nödlösning om man behöver någonstans att sova för natten. Det ska dock sägas att deras Onsen-bad var väldigt fräscht och verkade nytt/nyrenoverat, även om det var litet. Även läget var otroligt bra, mycket nära till Kyoto Station.
