This hotel was a bargain and was only 2 blocks from the parade site of the Jidai Matsuri (Festival of the Ages) Parade held anually on October 22. The hotel is a bargain for the budget minded, includes a continental breakfast or Japanese Curry dish. The room is spacious and offers the Japanese sleeping experience -- sleeping on a futon... More

If you have budget concern and you just need a simple ryokan stay, then this is for you. It's cheap compare to other ryokan. During our stay, many students staying in this ryokan. But the room is very spacious. However, if you have a sensitive nose, you might find it a bit smelly because of the tatami. There's no wifi... More

Big Room, clean bathroom. Staffs have conversational English & are friendly. They act very fast on customer request. :) Good location for those who don't mind "long hour walking". There's a large partial-indoor shopping area on the other side of the Oike Dori, just opposite. Actually, all the way from the Shiyakusho-mae Station & down to sanjo-dori, are shops &... More

Large though rather basic rooms. The Japanese breakfast is simply great. Staff was very helpful despite their limited English knowledge. Good value overall.

Although a little dated, this hotel offers a good value in Kyoto, which can be extremely busy and expensive at times. The location is not fantastic, but a short walk to 'Shiakusho Mae', where you can catch a bus to many of Kyoto's tourist attractions. We took a taxi to the hotel, so had no problems finding it the first... More

The directions to the ryokan was vague at best and being in a sidestreet make it dfficult to find. So, you must come up from the right exit and it is really 5 minutes walk. The room is big and clean -... More

We stayed 3 nights in this lovely ryokan and it does not disappoint ! Its rather far from Kyoto Station but very close to Imperial palace, Teramachi Street (covered shopping street) and the kyoto International Manga Museum Rooms are very nice, clean, and you will find hair dryer fridge water boiler and green tea for free. The staff is also... More

I stayed at the hotel sugicho in Kyoto for two nights during a trip around japan in July. Before I start my review of the hotel itself I must first comment on the worst aspect of my stay there, which was the location. The hotel guidelines say it is a 5 minute walk from the subway station but there is... More

We had to stay at this ryokan hotel for 1 night as the other ryokan we will be shifting to was full for that day. Hotel was not easy to find and the lobby looked dated. When our room door was opened, a musky smell rushed out to greet us and goose pimples started to appear on my arms. Had... More
