Rakucho Ryokan provided a comfortable stay with immaculate shared facilities, including modern showers and helpful laundry options. I appreciated the peaceful surroundings and the engaging conversations with the friendly host, making it a special experience.

Positive, I had a great stay! The owner was super helpful, giving us a local map right at check-in. Our room had a lovely view of the garden and is spacious. It's a treat to sleep on tatami mats. Everything was spotless and the shared bathrooms were well-maintained.

Clean rooms and a relaxing hot tub were nice, but the perfume lingered too long.

Spacious room with garden view

Super cozy stay with charm!

Really enjoyed our time here! The owner is super friendly and gave us great dining recs. The shared baths were always clean, and we loved the hot tub after long days exploring. Only bummer was the Wi-Fi signal could be a bit weak in the room. Overall, felt like a real home away from home!

This place suits me perfectly with free Wi-Fi in rooms, laundry facilities, and air conditioning. The staff helped me find my lost wallet, and they are always friendly. I highly recommend staying here, and I'm coming back for a holiday.

i was so close to giving a decent review, but the smell of strong cologne in my room was unbearable. and, can we just talk about the fact that i didn't even get daily towels until i complained? '

great experience but a few things to fix

The place was exceptionally clean! I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and felt completely safe. The outdoor garden was a beautiful escape right in the hotel, enhancing my relaxation during the stay. Additionally, the host went above and beyond with recommendations, ensuring I made the most of my visit.

However, the Wi-Fi in my room was a bit spotty, which was inconvenient at times.

The place was perfect for our family with two babies. The owner was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The helpful recommendations for local dining made our stay even more enjoyable. The quiet surroundings were a blessing after a day of exploring Kyoto.

For dads, it would be great to have a more spacious changing area for babies.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Rakucho Ryokan, where the cozy atmosphere and well-maintained communal facilities made me feel right at home. The host provided excellent dining recommendations and the tatami mats in my room were a comforting touch.

No hand wash soap in showers.

The owner’s hospitality truly stands out, providing helpful recommendations and a warm atmosphere. Clean facilities, including the shared showers, were well-maintained and the perfect spot to unwind after long days. A significant plus was the property's location, making it easy to access various bus lines and nearby attractions. However, the futon, while comfortable, could benefit from an upgrade as it felt a bit thin at times. Also, quietness was sometimes disturbed by the noise from other guests.
