Book a real hotel if you want to sleep
Tired building with paper walls, clean, friendly staff, NOT recommended if you are intending to sleep.
If you need to sleep, bring professional earplugs, normal ones won't work. You will hear absolutely everything going on in the rooms beside you. I had a horrible night.

Cozy traditional place
Hotel is both beautify and cozy and the staff was always extremely helpful. Their mastery of English for international travelers was very good and there were few times when something had to be explained differently. Hotel is located about 10-15 minutes walk North of the JR station near the center of Kyoto where the two Buddhist temples are located (free to enter).
PROS
Close to the center of town near and between the two central Buddhist temples.
Inexpensive bicycle rental (600 yen a day) with rear wheel bike lock.
Small but well maintained traditional rooms.
Quiet neighborhood.
Laundry and kitchen areas are available outside of the original hotel area (Ryokan has about 3-4 buildings total).
Traditional breakfast and other meals are made in the morning and served in the bar area downstairs.
Cons.
Rooms are small so groups of 4 or more might find them cramped.
No chairs in rooms, floor and mattress seating only.
Closet shower only and changing clothes in main room.
Not a lot of restaurants nearby so you might want to hit a convenience store to stock up the rooms refrigerator.

I made a reservation in April 2016 for August. After two months the hotel contacted me saying they did not have quadruple rooms and therefore if I wanted to add a second room. We are a family of four and my kids are 7 and 9 yrs old. I did not want an extra room so we managed to stay for 4 nights in a very small room. The worst was not space although. There was no isolation and I could hear my neighbors coughing. The toilet had no sufficient air extraction. The Ryokan itself is well decorated and new but space is scarce and isolation non existent.

Nice location, but noisy rooms
Despite the beautiful location and the very professional and friendly staff, our experience in this guest house was disappointing. Perhaps the main problem with it is that the room was extremely noisy: windows and doors made of paper (!!) and thin walls don't help blocking the noise, as you can hear in your room a person talking few rooms down the hall. For the two days we spent there, we experienced noise both late at night and in early mornings. The staff gave us some ear plugs to shield from other noisy customers (and believe me, there are many!), but this is not the kind of service you are expecting for room that costs about 200 US$ a night. Rather than enjoying the experience of a traditional Japanese house, we felt more like undergrads in a cheap but overpriced youth hostel. For the same price, you can get a real hotel room in another hotel nearby, which explains why the staff asked us to pay for the full duration of our staying at at check-in rather than charging our card on the check-out day: we probably would have left on the first day.

잠 자리 이불이 너무 좋앗던 숙소! 꿀잠잣네요^^
사용리뷰가 별로 없엇어서 걱정햇는데 걱정과 달리 매우 만족햇던 숙소엿어요~ 4명이서 묵엇는데 복층? 으로 된 방이여서 매우 넓게 잣습니다^^
근데 수건이런건 기본으로 주지 않아서 이 숙소로 가실려면 하나 정도 챙겨가는게 좋을거같네요~ 또 바로 한블럭 지나면 목욕탕이 잇는데 가격도 저렴하고 미니 야외 온천장도 잇어서 매우 기분 좋게 다녀왓네요~ ㅎㅎㅎ
아 특히! 이불이 너무 좋앗어요! 너무 오래 걸어서 온몸이 너무 아팟는데 이불이 매우 폭신해서 너무너무 개운하게 잘 잣네요~
교통편도 좋앗어요^^ 정류장이랑 가까워서 ㅎ
교토역에서 걸어서 10-15분 정도
자전거를 빌릴 수 있음 (600엔)
세면 용품은 타올, 샴푸, 바디 클렌저만 준비되어 있고 그 외의 용품(칫솔, 치약, 면도기)은 별도 구매 (50엔)
유카타가 준비되어 있음
1층에 카페 겸 식당 겸 바가 있음
신발을 신발장에 넣어야 하며 엘레베이터가 없어서 짐을 직접 들고 올라가야 함 (물론 직원이 함께 들어주긴 함)
방은 딱 2명이 누워서 잘 수 있는 정도의 크기
세이프티 금고 없음
샤워할 때 옷을 걸어놓을 만한 곳이 없어서 조금 불편
주변 경관은 매우 고즈넉함

Very clean and traditional Japanese style
-Not suitable for family~actually hostel style
-Nice & helpful staff with fluently English speaking
-location is nearby bus stop & subway station, better use the address provided by hostel to search for
I think it is a very good Japanese Style hotel but I suggest young traveler who is going the Kyoto alone to stay in this hotel because it is a very good experience. I am going to mother and aunt, so they prefer some where bigger.
