Traditional room with good location

Lovely traditional Japanese room in a 3 story Ryokan on a quiet street a short walk from the train station. The host was exceptionally welcoming and spoke fluent English and was more than helpful during our stay. Definitely recommend for a few nights authentic Japanese accommodation.

They provided us with a smartphone with 4G for free, it came with the room which is really convenient for using Google maps to get around Kyoto. They also have a washer and dryer guests can use which is nice. Overall the room was pretty average but nice enough for a place to sleep.

Great little Ryokan experience

Had a shortened stay due to a Typhoon. Staff at Ebisu were very communicative re our unexpected change in travel plans. Fab little Ryokan with all the necessities (for first time Ryokan visitors don't expect a lot of furniture) and some good service (spoke very good English). Well located to Kyoto station.

Friendly staff and a comfortable place to stay.

It is a traditional Japanese accomodation. The staff is very nice and friendly. She speaks english quite well and willing to help out. The place is small but comfortable to stay. I actually like it because of its culture and tradition. It is also quite close to a mall and Kyoto station.

Ryokans are not for me, I guess

I don't think Ryokans are for me especially without an Onsen or Sento on site. The rooms were tiny and yet had three mattresses taking up the space. I'm not a fan of sitting on the floor.

Great Staff at a Quaint Ryokan.

This was my first stay at a Ryokan. The room was a little small but all of our basic needs were met. The staff was VERY helpful providing advice on restaurants, shrines and temples. They also offered free use of a mobile hotspot and bicycles. I recommend this ryokan!

Standard Ryokan, nothing stands out

It was a standard ryokan, as far as I know. The walls were quite thin, so it could get noisy in the morning, and there isnt much in terms of help for those staying. On the bright side, it's not too far from Kyoto Station and the beds were surprisingly comfy.

그냥 그래요

교토 료칸 경험해 보고 싶어서 1박 잡았는데 그냥 일반 호텔 가는게 나을거같아요. 그냥 간이 료칸느낌이라.. 방은 호텔보다 훨씬 넓어서 좋았는데 히터가 천장에 있어서 겨울에는 좀 공기가 서늘했어요. 천장만 데워지는 느낌이랄까.. 하루 잠만 자고 갑니다~

Un'ottima base d'appoggio per visitare Kyoto

Ryokan situato in isolato residenziale molto silenzioso ma a due passi dalla stazione centrale di Tokyo, quindi ottimamente collegato. Stanza grande il giusto in stile giapponese con tatami e futon. Come in molte buone strutture giapponesi abbiamo trovato a nostra disposizione un collegamento a Internet tramite wifi, smartphone "di cortesia" e una coppia yukata. Personale estremamente cordiale e disponibile. Unico neo il bagno, decisamente molto piccolo e non riscaldato come il resto della stanza. Tutto sommato un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

A ryokan that is close to malls and public transports makes it an ideal choice for visitors seeking convenience. As it is a ryokan provided at an affordable price, don't expect big space including washroom. You do get private washroom which is already a good thing. It's small but functional. Room is the same as well. But if you are out all day, the room provides the comfort at the end of the day for a good night rest.
