Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei

The facility was beautiful on the inside and provided refreshments for you in the lobby while we waited to be checked in. They provide a Landry service or the hotel is located next to a coin laundry facility. It's walking distant from all major spots in kyoto such as shrines, river, and shopping district. We had accidentally left money when we checked out in our hotel room and they were so helpful returning it. They sent it overnight postage when we had already left for our Tokyo hotel and the mail arrived on time and their customer service was incredible.

- Location: The Ryokan is located in a relatively central part of Kyoto that's about 10-15 walk from Shijo station with luggage. Around the corner from mini marts and assorted restaurants, the hotel provides a good list of them as some we ha actually tried before on a previous trip. - Short walk to Shijo dori and all the glitz on it - The facilities were nice with the option of a private bath in lieu of a public onsen. - Plenty of common space next to the lobby and it's tastefully done in traditional japanese style, the little gardens that border the accomodation also provide a good sense of atmosphere. - The property has lifts which makes it easier to carry luggage - The terrace on the top floor was open air and we did take advantage by having tea when it wasn't too cold - A few metres from a coin laundry was helpful, their commercial sized machines were much better than most provided by hotels.

It has very nice common areas, the Japanese style room was clean and well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. All staff seemed to know English. The bath is on a reservation system and is perfect for a 1-person soak. The location I a short walk from a subway line and quite a long walk just from Kyoto station if anyone is feeling thrifty. The main road by the property is used by some cars so noise levels pick up a little during the day. The ryokan offers many events for additional charges such as tea ceremonies, renting kimono, or sake tasting. Be sure to check those out.

Room is a modelled after a traditional Ryokan Mattresses and quilts were some of the most comfy of any Ryokan I've ever stayed in before Staff went above and beyond in every area we asked them to help in Amenities like toothbrushes and combs are high quality The location is prefect. Close walking distance to mall and Nishiki markets

The location was great imo, there is a great ramen shop nearby which earn a michelin recognition before. there is a coin laundry shop nearby for you to do your laundry if you need it. I havent tried the private onsen due to tight schedule of mine. The room was sufficient for my stay but not too spacious, the bathroom was clean too. I didn't tried the breakfast as I prefer to have some egg sandwiches from nearby convenience store. The staff help us to arrange luggage delivery to our next hotel and help us to make our futon beds.
