We had a wondeful stay at Luck You Kyoto. The reception was friendly and made us feel wecome from the very beginning. We were offered a welcome tea and local sweets. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was mostly Japanese (while travelling, I like to eat local food even if it is rather unfamiliar). Luck Ypu Kyoto is situated very close to bus stops and relatively close to a railway station We appreciate the possibility to visit the adjacent sento. Moreover, it was much appreciated to leave our bags before check-in. Would visit again any day.

Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

This is a great place to stay for when you want to have your own private quiet space (and a bit more space than a typical hotel room), but still want to be cared for by hotel-like staff. We landed on this place because I wanted to stay in a typical Ryokan, but my husband wanted his own bathroom. It was the best stay of our Japan trip out of 3 hotels that were all far above average. It feels very secluded and private, there are around 10 apartments in total and everyone has their own entrance. There's a coin washing machine as well. There is a small breakfast buffet with really great coffee and they provide some free snacks during the day as well I believe. All in all it feels really kind and caring.

Excellent location, fantastic house. Convenient to everything you want or could need. James, the owner, goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay at the house and time in kyoto. His guidebook on what buses to take to attractions was incredibly helpful, and the wall map to show what attraction is in which direction. The 3 bedrooms upstairs allowed our family of 5 to have space, and the upstairs and downstairs toilet was very helpful. The house is located from the west exit at kyoto station, near JR office and trains.

    The location is brilliant, just a short walk from Kyoto train station and an excellent AEON mall (complete with restaurants, a supermarket, bookshop, Daiso and Village Vanguard). Check-in and check-out was smooth, the complimentary toiletries were generous and the room was cosy, with a very comfortable bed and great view. As usual when it comes to accommodation in Japan, it was clean, felt safe and was highly convenient. We'd definitely come back again!

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    Everything about the property was divine! The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a holiday home and all the appliances and fittings are new and great quality. My family stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments and it felt very spacious. The biggest bonus was having two toilets! Such a luxury! We loved the location which is close to Gion with lots of restaurant options and close to bus routes.
