Staff was very helpful. This is a traditional Japanese hotel so read carefully. Bathroom in my room was good enough although a bit budget. Not sure what the basement bath facilities were about but it didn’t matter Slept fairly well. Wanted to see what a ryokan was about. Mission accomplished

Great little ryokan steps away from Kyoto Station

It was so nice to only have to walk across the street from Kyoto Station to get to the ryokan hotel. Enjoyed the traditional hot springs baths and the free hot drinks vending machine in the lobby. Rooms were dated but clean and cosy. Staff were attentive and friendly. I'm not a fan of sleeping on futons, but my family loved it. Perfect spot for people to explore Kyoto all day, and have a hot soak in the traditional (naked) hot springs at night. Would stay there again, as it was quite affortable.

We were so close to transport, dining and shopping yet we felt like we were a world away in a traditional ryokan with beautiful breakfasts and futon bedding with rice paper walls blocking out the cold and street traffic noise. Front desk assistance was kind, friendly and helpful. The onsen experience was very clean and relaxing.

Traditional Interior, Modern Building, Central Loc

Clean, conveniently located ryokan in a modern building across the street from Kyoto station whose interior nonetheless feels like an old-style building due to the way the rooms are constructed with traditional materials. The breakfast was great, the public baths were nice, and while it doesn't quite have the character of a genuine historical ryokan, it has a lot more than any other modern-built ones I've seen, as well all the advantages of a modern building. I would recommend Matsumoto Ryokan to anyone wanting a traditional-style stay with modern convenience in a transit-connected location.

the location was great and the stuff very nice but the rules are too difficult so the check in at 4pm and the check out 10 am so they deduct 6 hours its the longest period I ever seen and also you can't keep your luggage after 3 pm otherwise they will charge per piece.

Very central, but needs better soundproofing

We stayed in a Japanese style room, situated on the train station side. The room was comfortably sized for two, but not a lot of luggage space. Thankfully there were extra futon mattresses in the cupboard as the single layer was a bit thin. The staff were all very polite and willing to help - communications were a bit halting but we got by with our decent (if rudimentary) amount of Japanese. Breakfast was well worth it, and the communal baths were very restorative (if not as hot as we expected). There was significant general noise from the street (people being loud, traffic). We were unfortunate enough to have roadworks directly under our window for two nights (no fault of the property, just a terrible coincidence). No noise issues within the property.

For the price this is an incredible steal. Conveniently located, clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. The only downsides are that the key system is a little outdated, there’s a midnight curfew, and the western beds are kind of stiff. But it’s also super peaceful and had a lot of privacy

スタッフが親切で良かった。古いながらもきれいでした。大浴場も素晴らしかった。しかし大浴場が地下1階にありますが、入り口にセキュリティ的な暗証番号等がなかったのが防犯上不安を覚えました。地下にスタッフがいないので男女となりに大浴場があるので1人でしたのでちょっと心配でした。タオルがかなりパサパサで薄かったのが残念。大浴場があるならタオルは気軽に新しいのを使えたらなお良かったです。立地は最高に良いです。
