no hemos venido al hotel por el coronavirus ya que el vuelo se anuló.
Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el hotel i NO nos han dicho nada. Además No nos devuelven el dinero
Muy MAL
The room was clean and big and the staff were courteous.
We were just wondering why the television turns on in the middle of the night. We stayed there for 2 nights and the TV just turned on. We did not use the timer.
Excellent hotel! The bed was small for our size and family. We were 4 of us..

A local gem
I spent three nights at Rakurakuan with a friend in October. We agreed that if we're fortunate enough to return to Kyoto, we will definitely stay there again. The hotel was excellent value for money. It had spacious (by local standards) rooms that were spotless and stylish, comfortable beds, and a great shower.
We loved the location on a quiet and atmospheric street. Buses and the subway were nearby and it was an easy walk to the train station and to the historic part of the city.
The staff were absolutely wonderful. They were polite, friendly, and very helpful. On our last day we were able to leave our luggage with them all day as we continued exploring the city. They made a wonderful restaurant recommendation that was a local favourite (delicious) and they helped us call a taxi on our last day. I would love to stay here again any time!

Size of the room is good and not cramp. Very spacious. The staff are very helpful even to the point of helping my daughter wear her kimono. :)
Hotel is one station away from Kyoto station. We recommend this for anyone visiting Kyoto.

Fantastic Accomodation not to be missed.
Beautiful, spacious, clean and view of tower. Decor splendid. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Very big room with plenty of storage, fridge and bathroom spotless with toiletries. Quiet and excellent location with supermarket close by. Walking towards the hotel the streets are full of traditional homes you just can't stop taking photos. This accommodation is faultless you get more space, value for money and tradition compared to big chain hotels.

The room size was great and we enjoyed our 3 nights here. The staff could not have been more helpful. They sorted out an issue with another hotel we couldn’t get to because of the typhoon for which we were really grateful. We were waved off like friends when we left.

Nice, small property not too far from the station. Room was massive for Japan hotels, extremely clean and well equipped. Staff were great and very helpful.
Hotel in una zona della città priva completamente di attrazioni e servizi. Taxi o bus necessari x raggiungere i quartieri interessanti.
Hotel piccolissimo con staff scadente. Pulizie delle camere mal effettuate o non fatte per niente
Colazione scadente servita in ingresso a turno su un unico tavolo per tutta la decina di camere.
Letti piccoli quasi impossibili per due persone nonostante la camera con due letti venga assegnata anche a quattro persone.
Il prezzo tuttavia è lo stesso degli altri hotel di standard internazionale della zona.
Sconsiglio questo hotel.
