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!

The staff was simply amazing! They were so kind and helpful. Sleeping on the traditional tatami floors was a cool experience. Trying the traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner was also an experience that everyone should try. The Onsen was great, it was on the 6th floor and you have a great view of Kyoto at night. We definitely recommend staying at this wonderful Ryokan.

Staff was over the top friendly and helpful. They allowed us to store our bags before and after check in/check out so that we could go explore Kyoto without having to haul our stuff around. They were also very helpful to help us acquire a taxi big enough for 6 and provide local restaurant recommendations. We were on the road side and so the rooms had quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that everything was great.

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!

It was an experience I enjoyed, but I can't say I got the best sleep on the tatamis. The floor layout was inconvenient, how from the toilet you had to walk across the whole room to then wash your hands. The room was extremely tidy and i loved the seating overlooking the window. The public bathhouse, in the hotel, was amazing and while I'm not eager to sleep on the floor again, I'm forever going to be on the lookout for sentos and onsens.
