เรียวคัง เคียว-โนะ-ยาโดะ คากิเฮย์

This is my first long stay in Kyoto. So I want to stay in traditional Japanese style and this Ryokan served me well. Very closed to Nishiki Market that full of Japanese style street food. Even a bit far from train station but it surround by 3 different Line that easy to planning daily travel. Warm welcome from Ryokan owner, friendly and good communication in English. The room is clean, wide space with softly Futon that make me sleep well. I recommended to reserve including breakfast. It is Japanese style with beautiful decorative and fantastic delicious. Served at 7.40AM or 8.00AM in private room that make you privacy from other guests. Public bath is little bit small but good compact functional. At the end of the day when I come back from travel, it feel like a house instead of a hotel. I wish to stay in this Ryokan again when I revisit Kyoto.

The owners were lovely and the hotel was in a very good location. Walkable distance from the station and market.

Lovely bed-and-breakfast inn, with owner staying at one of the units. Convenient location from the main shopping & restaurant area, and also walkable to subway. Hard to hail taxi outside of the hotel when we need to go to the airport. So the hotel calls taxi for us. We waited for about 10 min before the taxi came, which is ok. The room has tatami floor, which is one of the reasons we chose this inn. Room was warm at night, with a temperature control inside the room that we can adjust & turn on/off. The bathroom in our unit was the Japanese type. A little chair was available inside to sit down & take shower. There is a bath tub too. The onsen on 2/F is tiny but comfortable. Can fit 2 people at most, or 3 people who are close to each other, I'd say. Otherwise it would be very crowded to use the onsen. There are only 2 bathing slots at the onsen anyway. The changing room outside the onsen is tiny, which was fine for us 2 people. The breakfast in the morning was filling & look VERY beautiful. It was the reason why my sister chose to stay at this hotel, and it's worth it! :) Hotel can keep our bags at the common area outside of reception after check-out, which is very helpful for us to go around the city on our last day. The only question we have is why the room was only half-cleaned when we went back in the evening. We had 2 beds on the tatami floor, but only 1 bed was nearly tidied up -- the other bed was clearly not tidied up at all. Strange.
