Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Hongan-G

Staff gives you a map with local bus stops to tourist places. Map also has places for diner. We did not take breakfast because it was to expensive in our opinion. They offered to wash our clothes so that we could go out sightseeing!! Great staff and spoke plenty of english

Nothing

the ryokan has a very pleasant atmosphere and an authentic look. the staff is friendly and helpful with any needs you might have as for the room, the one we had was quite small, but very well divided. they offer a living room which doubles as sleeping space (when laying the futons), an entrance area, baggage storage behind sliding panels and a toilet. futons are confortable and that was the best sleep we had after more than 18 hours on the road. in terms of accesibility, the hotel is 10 mins away from the kyoto station (by foot), in a very charming area of kyoto. we walked almost everywhere, but there are 7-8 bus stops withing 2-3 min walk from the ryokan which can easily take you anywhere in the city. definitely try the tea ceremony (sencha tea). it is not too long, pleasantly casual and well explained. also you get a nice picture as a souvenir at the end of your stay to remind you of it

not necessarily something we did not like, but a bit odd. we did not ask for cleaning in our first 3 nights since it was not needed. on our fourth day though, we did and we expected the sheets to be changed. in truth, we might have created some confusion by making our beds and storing them in the cupboard and not leaving them on the floor.

It was great to experience traditional Japanese accomodation. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Very clean and in a great location. I loved it! My daughter left her umbrella behind on checkout and a lovely member of staff came riding after her, to give her the umbrella....

The location was excellent, and the staff could not have been more friendly, informative and helpful.

Was glad to try the ryokan, the room is spacey. Nice!

Probably the toilet is still old fashioned, and the yukata in my room was too big couldn't wear it for breakfast.
