The staff people were especially helpful ..and fun…especially the woman who showed us how to put on the yukata correctly. The bath was exceptionally clean and lovely .and just the right temperature. Only disappointment was that check in was at 4:00 …and by most properties allow check in at 3:00. Overall, a lovely experience!

We loved our stay at Ryokufuso! The bus took us straight from Kyoto Station to the front of the building, and the other bus stops that take you to the tourist hotspots were a <10 minute walk away. Despite being a small ryokan, our room was very spacious and the staff were super sweet and friendly. When we arrived one of them (I wish I remembered his name!) gave us a quick tour of our suite and how to use the amenities. They also have an onsen to enjoy even if you have tattoos or piercings, which we really appreciated. The next time I’m in Kyoto I’m for sure staying here!

Great Hotel

The Japanese style breakfast were so good, we decided to have dinner with them, they have multiple courses to chose from, very traditional and delicious, competitive prices as well, highly recommend (since there has no many options of traditional Japanese dinner without reservations, and it’s not easy to make a reservation the same day in Kyoto).

Excellent hotel

Stayed for one night here. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and had good amenities. The onsen (bath) at the 6th floor was very nice and had good water temperature, not too hot but pleasantly warm. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast chef was super friendly and spoke good English too - he explained what each dish was clearly. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Kyoto.

Fantastic ryokan. The staff has a really good English and everyone was nice to us. There is a little shop in front of the front desk and free coffee (If my mind is not fooling me). The room was exceptional, had a nice view and futons. Bathroom was great and separated from toilets. There is a tatoo friendly onsen on top floor open until 12 am. The gaiseki was amazing, the chef explained to us how to eat every dish in English and was fun.

Incredible Stay

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful my stay at Ryokufuso was!! The staff are all extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming. In all my years of traveling, this hotel was undoubtedly the most impressive. On top of the wonderful staff, the accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. I also decided to do the dining experience and it was a delicious 5-course meal served in a lovely private room. Every part of my stay was the best I've ever experienced. I don't often leave reviews, but felt that I needed to let the world know just how much I enjoyed and appreciated my stay at Ryokufuso! I recommend it with my fullest confidence!

Good place!

Very friendly, helpful, and solicitous staff throughout the whole stay. The hotel is not really walking distance from the train station if you have any baggage. The sidewalks are asphalt and we both broke luggage wheels on the walk. The ryokan is in a quieter part of town, which can be good or bad depending on your desires. The facility itself is a little dated but clean and the staff is really so kind. The rooms were well-sized and the amenities sufficient. The tatami mats smell amazing, which is something I hadn't considered! We had the kaiseki dinner and also breakfast which were elaborate and full of interesting and new food items we hadn't had before. Again, this can be good or bad depending on your spirit of adventure. We utilized the onsen, which was clean and useful. If you are seeking a ryokan in Kyoto, I would recommend this one.

Our stay at this beautiful Japanese-style hotel was outstanding. The breakfast alone is worth the trip and the stay – lovingly prepared with great attention to detail, offering a changing menu each day. Guests can choose between a Japanese or Western breakfast; we opted for the Japanese one and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are charmingly decorated, and we also chose a Japanese-style interior, which was spotlessly clean. The hotel owner and the staff were all incredibly kind, attentive, and warm-hearted, creating a very welcoming and familiar atmosphere. Thank you so much for this heartfelt hospitality and for an unforgettable stay!
