10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for three nights with our 12 and 9 year old. Room comfortable - double bed under bunks for children. Clean, friendly. Breakfast available bread/toast jam , boiled eggs, orange juice. Very easy for laundry - washing machine and dryer in bathroom - 200 yen for washing machine - drying room on our balcony and roof. Dryer 100yen for 20 minutes - fine to finish drying off after being on balcony. Common room area downstairs with cooking facilities and glasses etc. - we had great fun socialising with a very international group. Happily stay here again - 15 minute walk from Kyoto station, 20 minute walk from Fushimi Inari. Family mart combini 100m away.

Pleasant stay
The hostel is located near subway, it is very convenient. The host is nice, she cooked breakfast for all, and helped to take care of our lugguges after check-out. There's nothing else to ask for.

Comfortable Stay
Stayed for 5 nights in a family room for 4. The room is very small and there's hardly any space to move around. Otherwise the stay was very comfortable. Common areas are very clean and neat. Breakfast is simple and on certain days very delicious Japanese tea rice is also served. The manager is very friendly.

We loved this hotel! Clean, modern and yummy breakfast! Anzy put on a great spread. About 15mins walk from Kyoto station but worth it! The hotel staff were fantastic and we were very happy with their service and how they allowed us a stress free stay! We were also able to park our bikes at hostel, nice and quiet hostel, calming music. My two sons n i will be back again. Thank you for a lovely stay 😍

Small hostel outside the downtown with HEART!
So, over all, Hostel Ryokan was amazing. Going down the list: The service was phenominal. My friend got sick while there and Chika, the owner, made him soup. Over all, Chika is amazing. She is so warm and kind and makes you feel welcome. We were allowed to check in early and check out late, which was supremely generous of her. So 10/10 for Service. Cleanliness was top notch. The main room was a bit cluttered, but everything was spotless. 10/10 for Cleanliness. The beds in the hostel were great. Long enough to accommodate my tall friend, warm enough for my chilly self, and very comfortable. We did rent a private room, so I cannot speak to how sharing the common bedrooms were, but we never heard a peep from them, so I suspect they were quite peaceful as well. 10/10 for Comfort. As I mentioned earlier, the common room was a bit cluttered, and the building was certainly nothing to look twice at from the outside, but overall the condition was very satisfactory for the price-point. 8/10 for Condition. So, the one poor point is the location. You are way outside of downtown Kyoto (though you are quite close to the Thousand Gates hike), but the good news is that you are only two blocks from the subway station, so getting around is a breeze. We did not mind having to take the subway into the downtown (only two stops), but the area still is not that scenic. 6/10 for Local Area. I hope to stay here again when I next visit. 10/10.

“Convenient, clean and affordable”
Found this place in a quick search and with its affordable pricing, booked and was not disappointed. Its easy to find from Kyoto's main railway station and about a kilometre from it. On arrival, we were met by the friendly staff who knew who we were. They even carried our luggage to the 2nd floor room - and it was heavy. The ryokan has been operating since March 2015 and is new and clean. The communal bathrooms were right by our room door so that was just great. It was clean and spotless with the showers having both liquid soap and shampoo. Getting hot water was kinda tricky as on two occasions I only got cold - brrr. We had a four bunk room - rather small but as we spent very little time in the room itself, it was not a bother. Our first night we returned late, but was given access via the back door which was cool. Downstairs is a small lounge area/dining with a small kitchenette. Breakfast is offered, but that's basically tea/coffee and toast. A washing machine and dryer was available for those in need of using such as minimal charge. Bedding is clean and room service comes to clean up daily. An affordable place to be used.

Spartan, crowded, clean, functional
If you are on a budget and want a clean, Spartan, safe place to rest at night about 15 min walk south of Kyoto station, this place is fine. The rooms are super crowded with bunkbeds and literally no space to move, no amenities such as TV etc. Toilet and showers down the hall are clean and work well. Rules include no eating or drinking in your room, and you strip your bed when you leave. Again, Spartan but functional if you plan to only wash and sleep there at night.
