middle of kyoto”

big room with nice toilet and bath

lobby area is quite dark and full of cigarett smell, no onsen

Hirashin is a nice ryokan which located in the middle of kyoto. Very easy to go to tourist spots, temple and many bus pass this area. Only 10 mins walk from the train station and bus stop with department store, covenient store and public trasportation ticket box. The room itself is great, bigger than what i imagine, clean bed sheet, toilet and bath but overall atmostphere of hotel is quite dark.

A Traditional Japanese Home”

Courtesy of Staff, Quietness of Reception, Spaciousness of Rooms,Excellence of English spoken, Location.

Furnishings are a little old.

Easy to find. Interesting walk from Kyoto station along main street and interesting walk along side streets returning to station. Staff spoken excellent English, were courteous and quiet. The room was surprising for the amount of space available and so quiet at all times. Sleeping is perfect. Access to transportation and interesting destinations were excellent. The traditional breakfast was very generous and of excellent quality. I would be happy to stay there again and again when I return to Kyoto and will recommend it to all my friends. I liked it so much I took many photographs of the interior of my room.

Traditional Japanese Ryokan”

Traditional tatami room. Attentive reception staff, with good english. Great location.

Hallway carpets a little faded.

Very nice traditional tatami room. En-suite bathhroom was nice. Clean. Futon bed was set up for me while I was out for the evening. Attentive reception staff, with good english. Great location about 20 minutes walk from Kyoto station or just 3 minutes from the subway stop. It is on a quiet street with a convenience store almost next door. The street though quiet, has some cool looking restaurants and shops and leads almost to Pontocho Alley then you cross the river into the Gion District, all easily walkable. Breakfast is traditional Japanese style.

Highly Recommended”

Very convenient location Clean rooms Friendly staff

None

The Hirashin Ryokan is perfectly located for exploring central Kyoto on foot and is very close to transport links for longer trips. A Japanese-style room with bathroom but also with the option of using the large Japanese style bath gives the best of both worlds. The Japanese breakfast is superb - much better than the western one.

Hirashin Ryokan”

A very nice ambiente in a clean hotel environment. Helpful employees, who can speak english. Beverages on every floor. Low cost for good central location in Kyoto.

None

The Hiromin Ryokan in Kyoto City provided me with a cheap Stay in a typical Ryokan room ambiente. The hotel is centrally located near Between Sanji and Shijo Street. Within a 3 minutes walk you can take the metro directly at the crossing of the 2 metro lines at Karasuma Oike Station. The breakfast as well was served in typical Ryokan style, eating sitting on tatami flooring. I would highly recommend this hotel. Two thumbs up.

A good base to explore Kyoto from”

- good position, close to castle, market, some temples and subway station - friendly English speaking staff at reception - huge breakfast - clean rooms - enjoyable hot bath in basement, great relaxation after a long day of walking

- building (outside, hallways) do not create a special "Japanese" atmosphere - circades in the small park can be very noisy and they start as soon as the sun comes out!

We enjoyed our stay and the Ryokan was thanks to it's great location a good base for our day trips. We will recommend the place to other tourists. The rooms are clean and feature a separate toilett which is handy if you are a group of people. We have not used the bath tub in the room as there is a very nice hot bath in the basement (ladies and men separately). Green tee was served daily and the typical Japanese breakfast was big and varied slightly every day.

Japanese style room...”

the best advantage of the hotel i think its location. it is really in the center of the city so anywhere is quite easily accessible.

The room was disappointing, not because of the comfort, but because of the style it had. May be i was expecting too much, but i didn't have the taste of a Japanese room, like in the movies.

To be honest, from the very little pictures i saw in the site, i was expecting a really old fashion building where everything is like in "edo" period. But when i found the hotel, it was an ordinary building, which was quite disappointing. But the location of the hotel was very good and it is really easy to find, considering in a city where there isn't much English. It is absolutely in the center and you can easily access anywhere. The staff was very polite and hospitable, but this is valid for all Japanese people and i appreciated it a lot considering i have no Japanese. The most appealing part for me should be the Japanese style room, but i didn't find what i expected. Because in the very beginning, i was expecting an old style building and a room in third floor is far from an old style! Also, honestly i don't know what i was expecting but it was surely not the one i found. Room was too empty and a bed on the ground, a table where you are sitting to the ground and wooden coverage were not enough for that Japanese feeling. OK, you got the point) I saw a computer in the lobby for internet and telephones, but personally i didn't use them. In fact, i was only sleeping in the room, so i can't make a judgment about its Japanese style public bath and overall facilities, if any exists. As i saw, there was a laundry but it was like self service. Again, i didn't personally use it, but i saw some people with clothes going there. Also, i was expecting a Japanese style garden, but i think there was no garden like that in the hotel. For me, because of the location and cleanness, it was okay to stay, but if you will spend some time in the hotel, you don't have much option. Because i like the staff there, it is difficult to say this, but if you are really looking for a Japanese style hotel, there were much better hotels, especially located in Ginza district, with really nice gardens and buildings. But if you are not very into that, it is satisfactory.

A Close Walk to Everywhere”

There's a wonderful little coffee house less than a block away with a college/jazz vibe and great cappucinos, and there's also a nice Boulangerie (pastry shop) around the other corner in case you're not into the provided traditional Japanese breakfast.

Perhaps that traditional Japanese breakfast could offer a little more variety or some alternate choices - just in case.

The hotel staff is friendly, and there's usually one person who speaks enough English to assist you. You're also just three blocks away from a major shopping district and four blocks away from the huge outdoor marketplace. The business center is only one computer, but folks are very sensitive to those waitng in line. Better plan on doing laundry during the daytime becasue there's only one washer/dryer for the hotel.

Ryokan in good location”

- Good Location

- Lower than japanese standard cleanliness

This is a first time for us in japanese ryokan, we choosed hirashin ryokan based on location and competitive price. Then we got what we want (good location ryokan and competitive price ryokan. However we are quite disappointed on cleanliness of the room, cleanliness of bed sheet. Room is not well maintained and Cigarette smell is everywhere. If u want a high standard room for ryokan, we might not recommend this hotel.
