What a great service, what a great place, what a great breakfast 🙏 The room we stayed was Momo It was nice decorated and enough for three The room and bathroom was super clean. The bathroom was little narrow but it is perfectly fine for us. The breakfast was mix of eastern and western and it was fullfilling. By the way the breakfast is a big plus because you dont spend time to go for breakfast and even to think of where to eat. The staff was professional, super kind and lovely. The location is very close to a bus stop where you can easily go to the most common spots by using them. Finally, We loved our stay here and recommend to anyone seeking a japanese ryokan experience and meet with great staff. Life is an experience and this was a great experience for me and my family 🙏

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, 祇園の宿 杏花 is located in Kyoto, 300 metres from Gion Shijo Station and 600 metres from Samurai Kembu Kyoto. Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan features family rooms. The Taisho era building in Gion was a great base for us, a party of 2. The hosts were very polite, they gave fair warning about the lack of soundproofing due to the building's age and materials used. The Hinoki bathtub was a bonus to the trip. Floor heating and ample temperature control were great for winter in Kyoto. The location is amazing, centrally accessible to all major areas, and walking 'home' is part of the experience. Our room had a kitchenette, which was also essential, we like cooking with local fresh ingredients. (Also the soba (buckwheat) pillows are a nice touch!)
