We loved our stay at Luck you Kyoto ! The hotel was comfortable, clean, and welcoming, and the staff was amazing throughout our visit. The location was a little farther from the train stations and center Kyoto than we would have preferred, but it was still manageable with a bit of walking. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Very clean and elegant hotel. The staff were courteous and did an excellent job accommodating our limited language skills. The traditional room was everything I expected. The tatami were new, and the futon was very comfortable.

Okami-san was very kind and caring toward me. She was showing me every traditional manner and usage in the Ryokan. She even suggested me some place to eat. The traditional breakfast was amazing and it was handmade.

I only liked that I got the chance to stay in a ryokan for a very good value of money. The futons were comfortable. It is 8 minutes distance from the Kyoto Station which is convenient.

I liked the feel of the place, very much worth the price. We were in one of the smaller rooms so there is a lot of choice. Really sold the ryokan feeling. Only thing I missed was perhaps an Onsen (but you can get those somewhere else anyway.) For the nights that i stayed i had a great time.

Friendly, helpful staff speaking good english. Spotless cleaning, beautifully arranged rooms with everything necessary. Loved the provided yukata, when I went to the onsen it was empty as well. My room was one of the simpler ones, but had a great view of the Nidec tower. I think my pictures don't do it justice...

It was by far the most authentic and best stay in our whole trip across Japan. Tome and her Partner were amazing hosts who made us feel so welcome. The facilities are brilliant, and the futon beds are very comfy. Tea made for us free of charge and she arranged a taxi for us on our departure. If anyone is visiting Kyoto I recommend experiencing this Ryokan for at least 1 night.
