Everyday new clean towels and every couple of days new yukata (to sleep in: nemaki), clean bathroom. I liked the Japanese style room with tatami and futon (with clean sheets), but that's what I wanted. It's a very low budget accomodation, so it comes with that expectation. I had a TV with Japanese programs in my room and some hangers, a table and two cushions to sit on (I stayed in the old main building). The hosts were very nice and helpful, even driving me to a sento when it was a bit difficult to find in the neighbourhood at night, I had nice chats with them and felt really welcomed. I didn't mind, but be aware: the house is old! It comes with little holes/scratches in the wall and stained paper doors, used furniture/ rusted/calcified tapware/ sinks. It's not like a top-notch ryokan from flashy magazines/guide books about Japan, but more a guesthouse. There is only one toilett for everyone in the main house (but they replaced the broken seat, so it's better now) and a separate shower downstairs, and of course a big Japanese bath, where 2-3 people could wash up at the same time (but it's lockable). I liked the hot tub in the bath, very good to relax, but don't forget to shower and clean up first as it's shared with everyone. Btw, no idea why there are so many pictures of eggs from other travellers (on tripadvisor) ...weird. There is a vending machine next to the bathroom with hot and cold beverages, very good! Also there is a fridge, but I didn't need to use it, as: There is a convenient store just opposite, a kombini, which is great (Family Mart), you get everything there. Overall I'm happy because I didn't expect much more for that good prize and I didn't spend much time except for sleeping there. Just within 5 min. walking I could reach Kyoto station (I walk quickly).

Although I initially didn't know what to expect at first before my arrival, I can say that I had quite the pleasant experience at the Daiya Ryokan. As such if you're looking for a nice and easily accessible place to stay in Kyōto and are looking for a casual Japanese style room hotel experience, the Ryokan may be the place to be. Main pros : - Although fairly compact and humble compared to some other establishments, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the the facilities as well as the Japanese style rooms. - The Ryokan is located nearby Kyōto Station which is quite useful if you're looking to reach some of the city's famous locations using it's public transports, travel to other cities and towns or to simply enjoy a nice meal in the area. - The friendliness of the staff and their helpfulness, as well as the quiet and welcoming atmosphere. - Moreover, the Ryokan also provides free bicycles for it's residents, allowing you to roam the city all the while partaking in the local cycling culture.

Great location, great neighborhood, friendly and helpful staffs, not far from main shrines and tourism spots in Kyoto (walkable distance). Near Kyoto Station, 10 minutes walk. The neighborhood has many konbinis and restaurants. You can also rent a bike to sightseeing around Kyoto. For me personally, I love to wake up early and bike by the river bank. It's such a wonderful experience in Kyoto. Hiroyuki-san and Tanaka-san made our stay memorable as they were really friendly and helpful. It feels like we stayed in our Japanese's family house. The room itself is traditional Japanese style (tatami) with Japanese traditional bed (futon). For me, it was pretty comfortable. My friends and I could rest without any problem.

We had the family room and it had sufficient space for our luggages, our mattresses which were double layered, and our regular bags. The staff were all so lovely. They were moments when people were checking in which might raise the noise levels a little but much quieter than we expected. We enjoyed the privacy of the family room and the convenience of the toilet just across from us. It was well serviced with a washing machine, dryer, hairdryer and large bathrooms with good pressure water showers. The pillows and mattresses provided very good and sweet sleep for us and the pricing is hard to beat. We will be back.

Very good, quiet location, but not in the very center. We walked to Gion, but there is also a bus stop nearby. There is a 24-hour shop next to the ryokan. The room was great, clean. Very nicely decorated. The host was wonderful and very helpful. Our stay was fantastic, the only thing that bothered me was the smell of urine in the upstairs toilet.The duvet cover and pillowcases were clean and fragrant, but the duvets could be washed/refreshed l. The price for the stay is not high, and we do not expect a 5-star hotel, so our rating is still 10/10.
