the breakfast was really good the staff mainly spoke japanese but wrre still very friendly and helpful but the building is pretty old som walls have stains it wasnt really the ryukon experience i was looking for just because it was more of a hotel then small Japanese house but i feel like if your not expecting that and just want a hotel thats classic on the inside in kyoto this isnt a bad choice

Kyoto Ryokan Hirashin's best feature is its excellent location that allows walkable access to just about every magical aspects of Kyoto: Outrageously fun shopping options, unmatched food choices, outstanding ease to public transportation, awe-inspiring visitation to world-famous temples/shires/palaces/castles/landmarks, etc. Additionally, staff members were superbly attentive to guests' needs, quick to help, and made my 18-day stay an absolute joy.

A lovely gem in a very central and safe location in Kyoto. The staff knew what I wanted and even took extra steps to help me maximize my stay, like calling my room when I'd forgotten about the breakfast I'd booked. It's a quick bus or subway ride from Kyoto Station, and I will certainly come back for another stay.
