Its a great location for the price. Get to be close to Kyoto station without paying for any frills. Size of the room is adequate for two people. Plenty of eateries close by. Towels changed and bins emptied daily.

Unable to do laundry except during day time. The size of the room is adequate for two people, but a bit of a squeeze with two large suitcases. Felt unwell drinking the tap water, but travelling partner was fine.

I had a wonderful stay at Ebisu Ryokan! The location is incredibly strategic, with easy access to the train station, making it convenient for exploring the city. The ryokan itself is impeccably clean, providing a comfortable and pleasant environment throughout my stay. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

I was surprised to find that the bathroom facilities were shared among all the guests, which posed some privacy concerns. Additionally, the mezzanine in my room had a steep, detachable ladder that seemed quite precarious, especially for elderly guests. While the ryokan has many positives, these aspects could be improved for a better overall experience.

The establishment was just 10 minute walk to the Kyoto station. It was traditional just like advertised. Compact, clean, with everything one needs for a short overnight stays. The staff was fluent in English and responded properly via Booking.com messaging. One could leave luggage in the front desk area but only during staff working hours (9AM - 8 PM), otherwise it'd be unattended. Alternative is to leave luggage at the train station's lockers which are very chepa (about 100 Yen).

Nothing to complain about. All was great. Just like advertised.

It was amazing and traditional stay. The room was big and we loved the design of the room. I was scared how the futon bed can be comfy but dont worry actually its better then normal bed :)!! I loved the shower room its so big and smart to make it like this.!! We really wanna thanks Jacob for warm welcome and great communication - he helped us with all our question about Japan - thank you really much and we love to go here again in future :)!!

Great experience with living in a traditional Japanese home within a Japanese community. It is a walking distance to the bus, subway and Kyoto station. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Jacob, the operational manager, was very friendly and helpful. He was fluent on both English and Japanese. He provided guidance on places to see in Kyoto. Best part is they can store your luggage after checking out. Thanks and hope to be back again.

None, all great.

It liked that I was able to experience how locals stay (as close as possible for a foreigner who has constraints.)

The walls and doors were thin. Though I understand it is part of the design of the house, this may have caused disturbances to other guests especially when my young child was having a tantrum. The window shields do not block the sunlight enough in the morning. Please add thicker shades. Staff was not available for queries most of the time, and I saw guests waiting for someone to help them out at multiple times near the reception. Maybe a phone no to reach them and a phone line in room will help. The bathroom was too small and my body was hitting against the walls whenever I try to move. For context, I am not the biggest in a room. Also the rooms was small and difficult to accommodate 3 people(2 adults and 1 kid).

Our room was surprisingly spacious (for Japan standards) for 2 adults and 2 children, with space for luggage and lounging. Tatami was comfortable. Within short walking distance from Kyoto station. Our staff was friendly and spoke fluent english.

It’s in a quiet suburb with limited food options. nearest convenient stores are ~5min walk away.

This hotel was amazing. Location was good, plenty of restaurants and convenience stores around and a short walk to many subway stations. The room was okay, could have perhaps been a little cleaner,, comfortable and had everything I needed. The staff were super friendly, and really appreciated the chocolate snacks I brought back every evening. Low cost laundry facilities nearby too.

Good location close to Main station, great greeting from Jacob, other recptionist not quite so friendly. Comfortable quiet room. Local sento just around corner for public bath. Nom nom 2 doors up for a quick breakfast.

Booking.com is incorrect. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS its strictly cash or paypay. Could catch some people out. Sink in shower not a big deal BUT same tap works tap and shower, turn sink off too far and you may get unexpected shower-beware. They offer complimentary bikes, but its impossible these days to park them anywhere near the main attractions. Making them useless.

It was close to Kyoto Station, so easy to access transportation to all major attractions and close to Aeon Mall which had lots of shopping options and a food court. The room was clean and comfortable and staff was kind and helpful.

Since you have to insert your key into the slot to start the power when you arrive in your room, it was very hot until the AC was able to cool it down which took a little while. But this seemed common as another hotel of ours had a key slot for power too.
