“COCKROACHE IN THE ROOM”
+Location
−AVOID THIS PLACE. I choose it because of the overall rating and good comments. Once you get in you see the place is not specially clean and we found a COCKROACHE in the room.

“Very good”
+Beautiful ryokan in the heart of Gion. Expect the traditional setting, with thin walls and futons. Nice shared lounge with a cute small garden. The staff is nice and welcoming!

“Just great!”
+We wanted to experience Japanese type accommodations and selected this property specifically for that reason. It did not disappoint. It’s a 100 year old house, carefully and lovingly maintained with updates you would expect (toilets, AC, etc.). The futons were clean and comfortable. The room was tastefully decorated and the sliding doors and windows opened on a charming Japanese garden. Beautiful. The location in the best part of Gion is a plus. Highly recommend this property if you’re looking for an authentic stay in Kyoto.

“Best staff and beautiful stay”
+The hotel was amazing. Super comfy futons. Clean showers and bathrooms. Ample amenities. Even the best employees (a super sweet dog). Only comment is that you're paying for a historic home. It's over 100 years old and in amazing condition, but the walls are original and thin so it may get noisy. However, the staff and other guests were quiet so noise was never a problem for us!!

+It was a very unique experience, although the walls were thin and we could hear a lot from other individuals, it was not that bad. Loved the hosts they were very nice, especially the old lady at the front she was wonderful! Would recommend to stay in the area if you are looking for something more traditional!

“Awesome staff, very well located. The bike rent is a must.”
+They have electric bikes that you can rent. And the staff were really heplful with everything, they went beyond my requirements. And they are very nice.
−Thin walls and a bit of lack of sunlight, but that is expected on the type of traditional house
