I stayed at the Ryokan Budget Inn in a capsule. It is very comfortable and affordable. The staff was particularly very helpful. They explained me everything about the city. The bathrooms are spotless and neat. Very good experience.

Excellent ryokan, split in two different building (the Capsule Ryokan and the Budget Inn) and both seemed very good. We got a triple room in Japanese style in the Budget Inn and it was big enough and very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location is good (less than 10 minutes walk from Kyoto railway station). Not so many... More

My three kids and I stayed here for four nights and had a great visit. The room was very comfortable and we slept well on the traditional bedding. The Budget Inn has thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay convenient. They had plug adaptors, laundry detergent, shampoo and soap, a place to cook and room to hang out. They provide... More

I went there just 2 weeks ago with my sister & my friend..it's situated near the main kyoto station..so it's very good for us ..the room is very efficient..although it's not a big room, but I felt comfortable staying there..you could do your own laundry, get your own towels, and do your own cleaning for the room, which they provided...

We stayed in this hotel in a 4 beds room for 4 nights. The rooms are japanse style with tatami floors and futons. In the room there's a small kitchen sink with fridge tea facilities. On the downside of this hotel I must say that the AC makes the room a little bit dusty, but otherwise the rooms are clean.... More

We had a nice stay at this ryokan. Room spacious enough for 4 adults. Restaurant,convenience stores and Yodabashi shopping mall you can easily find here. Easy access to Kyoto station, even you can take bus number 205 to reach the ryokan (bus no. 205 route to Kinkakuji). Front desk staffs are very helpful and english savvy. Highly recommended.

Check in has to be done at Capsule ryokan and you can leave your luggage there if you are too early for check in. Guesthouse is 10 to 15 mins away from Kyoto Station and bus terminal. Throughout my stay I did not see any staff at budget inn, but it was okay. We had tatami ensuite room for 3... More

Lovely place and lovely, helpful people. Everything was great. Easy access from Kyoto station and other transport. Wanted to stay longer. Even with our family of 4 adults we found the room comfortable and very cosy. Definitely want to return one day. Highly recommended.

Forget about X stars hotel services, this budget inn offer you a different type of experiences you ever had. Firstly, the location is ok, not for from Kyoto station, just within 10mins walk. Check in/out and other services located at Capsule Ryokan which is just further a few steps from budget inn. The staff there is very very friendly and... More

The ryokan is located at the opposite side of the main tourist areas which I thought why the price was not as exorbitant as the ones in the more prime area. However it is still close to the Kyoto Train Station and the Kyoto Tower. We arrived earlier than the check in time (4pm) but was allowed to check in... More
