Cozy rooms and convenient location. The hotel is situated in top of a bar but we did not hear any noise.Staff were super friendly. Good location for exploring the Gion area.

Great location for my needs. The place is almost like self serve place. No 24/7 desk and you use own key pads to get in and out. They take cash only.

10/10 Exceptional

Cute room, I loved the soft ambience from the paper lantern lighting in the room. The bathroom was nice, especially the spacious bathtub. The view is of the alley so it is fairly quiet. It's located above a cafe (you have to take stairs to get up to your room), so there is some soft jazz music you can here in the evening, but they close at 10 or 11, i believe so it wasn't bothersome when sleeping. I didn't get a chance to eat at the cafe, but you get a discount there if you are staying in one of their 5 rooms. For check in, I just talked to the staff while the cafe was open and they checked me in, the description says there's no reception, but they do have a desk although it might be un-manned sometimes. They speak limited english, but i got by just fine. The staff doesn't enter your room at all, so if you're used to room keeping, you have to explicitly asks for that and it costs extra. There's also a laundry machine available that you need to ask to use. Besides the amenities, this place is located within walking distance to Nishiki Market which is a great place to grab some street food, it's also walking distance to the train and the teramachi shopping arcade which i recommend you visit and pick yourself up some woodblock paintings and a yukata or kimono for gifts. One other thing, there is a 7/11 at the end of the block so it's easy to grab replenish your cash at the atm or just grab some last minute snacks.

Good location, friendly staff, laundry facilities. A gentle introduction to more traditional Japanese style accommodations. They don’t enter your room during your stay, consequences are, if you want a towel change you have to ask... if you want your room cleaned (because you messed it up) you have to ask and have to pay extra. If you generate a lot of garbage you have to take care of it. Rooms are on top of a functioning cafe, so there is low level background music ... I think until 22:00hrs, it was NOT disturbing. Cafe food is just OK but lots of options immediately around that location. I spent 8 nights, it was easy to adjust to. Highly recommended

Good room and great food in the cafe
The room was lovely only marred by the cafe downstairs having music on a 30 minute loop. The cafe food was very good.

Great accommodation. Bed was pretty hard, but I think that is pretty normal in Japan. They don’t clean your room unless you ask, and they charge a small fee. Room was near spotless when we first got there so we never needed it cleaned. Awesome location too!

Great location and experience - hard to locate.
Loved the room and the location. Good value. Traditional feel but modern facilities. The booking confirmation requires that you contact the ryokan before arriving for access details, but there is no email address/phone number on the confirmation or the ryokan web site. In fact, it operates as a cafe between 4-10 pm so check in then is easy. The given street address exists on Google maps, but cannot actually be accessed on foot. The street address is on Gokomachi dori. Also, the signage is for Cafe Cinq 5, with Ryokan Machiya in Japanese. Makes it hard to find.

アメニティの置き忘れがあったり、部屋が少し埃っぽかったり、お風呂のカビが気になりました。パジャマが無いことを記載して有れば良かったです。 お風呂の排水口の臭いなのか、トイレの臭いなのか、部屋の臭いが結構気になりました。後は車の音が結構気になりました。 立地は言う事なしに良かったです。

非常に気に入りました。
部屋の雰囲気が良く、階下の賑わいさえも中世の宿屋に泊まっているかのようで心地よいです。 無駄を省いた設備・サービスも好みでした。 水回りのカビなど、清潔さは微妙だったり 従業員さんによって対応の良し悪しが全然違ったりはしますが、 遅くに着いても美味しいご飯が階下ですぐ食べられて(翌朝にはランチも)、場所も三条河原町近辺で、これだけ使い勝手の良い宿はそうそう無いと思います。 こだわりの寝具が揃っていることも、嬉しい驚きでした。
