You will never guest that the ryokan room available on top on the floor of this hotel. Located of this hotel really far away from Kyoto Station. You might be have little bit difficulty to find this hotel. So, before you attend this hotel it must to do is searching the route in google map and print on the paper.... More

There are tons of place to stay in Kyoto & this is a good place for the price, but pretty basic. We had a triple room which was littered with old souvenirs- quaint, in an odd way. There's no bath, and other places that don't cost much more often have a nice hot Japanese bath. However, there is a sento... More

Visited here for several nights in Oct 2011, only saw the owner once to get the keys - doesn't bother me i'm quite alright finding things out for myself in the city. Easy access to Transport links. Room was nice and big for the two of us, yes the beds are on the floor but also very comfy. The weather... More

I understand that you get what you pay for but despite the comparative budget cost for Japan you would expect a clean room, clean bedding and helpful staff. Compared to other places we have stayed, this was lacking which is a shame because it has the potential to be a traditional Japanese homely guesthouse. The website is misleading - it... More

I was actually very pleased with my experience at this guesthouse. Riverside Takase helped to make our time in Kyoto convenient, comfortable, and affordable. The value is absolutely unbeatable - you get a large, clean room all laid out in the traditional way a mere ~15 minutes walk from the train station. It's like a ryokan experience minus the extras...

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon travelling round Japan. To be honest we didn't think much of Kyoto at all & wished we had visited Osaka instead. Eventually, after walking for hours & asking locals, who had no idea where it was, we finally found the guest house after getting a taxi. It's situated next... More

Pleasantly surprised by our stay here, as the reviews I had read before we went to Kyoto led me to believe the accommodation would be sub-par. While the outside of the building may not be much to look at, the rooms inside were clean, comfortable, well-equipped and spacious. I was impressed by the clever use of the small amount of... More

We were a bit disappointed. The owner was very curt and now welcoming when we arrived. It looked like he was not happy that we were using his business. The rooms were tidy, but the beds not very clean. There were the random hairs on the pillows and the bedding was very old and worn out. I had to inquire... More

Cheap backpacker-style accomodation in a very good location in Kyoto (albeit a little difficult to locate initially). The rooms are minimal, but comfortable enough, though the bedding wasn't as spotless as I would have hoped. The owner is somewhat snappy and was the only rude person I encountered throughout my entire stay in Japan. Overall, an entirely average experience, but... More
