Absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were so helpful and spoke English really well which we really appreciated. We also really enjoyed the welcome tea and sweet treat.
The room itself was so clean and had great amenities- I was very excited to wear the yukata! I love the authenticity of the room it was truely a great stay and I wish we had booked longer.
I was also looking forward to trying the onsen but was very nervous because of the nudity, so I was very pleased to try the private bath option to be able to have this experience before becoming comfortable with the public bath.
I loved how nice the staff were. They helped store luggage before checking in, they helped me with a recommendation, and assisted with a request very nicely. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would stay again!
We experienced a luxurious ryokan stay. The onsen was very nice, and we got it all to ourselves. We slept on futons and had a great nights sleep. Highly recommend!
Really pretty ryokan, in a central location and within a couple of minutes from Kyoto station. The staff is very helpful and friendly and it was lovely to stay there. Thank you.
Ryokan Ginkaku offered a fantastic experience living in a traditional Japanese room but in a new building. It is very clean and spacious. We chose the wide room with private bath, which is very enjoyable. The traditional breakfast is fantastic (but for those who do not like fish for breakfast, perhaps better to skip this option). Locationwise, it is very close to Kyoto central station. Plenty of foods in the station Porta Dining. Close to bus stops too. Highly recommended.
This was my first time staying at a Ryokan and I was very pleasantly surprised. The renovated facilities are definitely worth the hype. Distance from Kyoto station is ideal and I suppose having a room with no balcony of a view was offset by it being very quiet. The onsen was great, much more private than I expected. The only minor issue was the understaffed reception at check out time. Other than that staff were great.
