Very good
Nice, if expensive, ryokan in great location
Great location, pleasant accommodations, great English-speaking staff. It‘s a little expensive for an older (ie slightly run down) Ryokan, but it was a very nice experience. You are definitely paying for the location, which is fantastic if you want easy access to the Gion area and Kawaramachi. Not sure if the Ryokan was just incredibly quiet or if it was empty during our stay in late January. We had the Kaiseki dinner one night and enjoyed it. Largely seafood, so if that isn’t your cup of tea it might not suit you. The public bath was also very nice.

Everything was done with perfection and with a warm heart. It was a most restorative experience. Highly recommend it.

A beautiful experience of Japanese culture. Our room attendant (Kumon) was exceptional. we were taken care of beyond our expectation!!

Our first impression of this ryokan was not very good. When we arrived we were told quite curtly that check in time was 3 PM. Of course we were fine with that, but the woman’s manner was not representative of the warm receptions we received in other hotels and ryokans we stayed in throughout our two weeks in Japan, even when we arrived early at our other accommodations. Other than this woman, the staff was wonderful. We had Yuka for the first two nights and another woman for the last night as our servers and both were very lovely. This is a very, very traditional ryokan. You sleep on futons and are served meals on the floor at low tables. As a western traveler, I think it is nice to experience this for a night or two, but not more at this ryokan. The others that we visited were more of a mix of western and Japanese style. You still had a very Japanese experience, but with some added western comforts.

Friendly staff, Great location to explore some of the attractions.

Nice ryokan, but Front desk staff were a little too business-like. We stayed at two small ryokans in the Japan Alps that had much more warm and friendly staff. Gion Hatanaka is expensive, too. I would go for a smaller, less expensive place the next time I’m in Kyoto. That said, our room was huge (though we weren’t allowed to move our suitcases out of one corner of the room), and we had a cedar tub! The kaiseki dinner was very good.

Wonderful ryokan with very traditional feeling but modern utilities. Quiet street but steps away from Yasaka Shrine and easy walk to Gion, Ninezaka and Kiyomizu-dera. Great service especially in room dinners and breakfasts.

Great value, not a fan of the food
Phenomenal value and experience. Significantly exceeded expectations. I don’t think I could do a ryokan for my entire trip but highly recommend for a couple nights. Comes with what seems like a 10 course traditional Japanese meal. I personally, did not enjoy most of the dishes but it was quite the experience

Massively overpriced compared to other ryokan in Kyoto
