The traditional and historical design of the house was a pleasure to stay in and appreciate, and the host has a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Additionally, the area surrounding the hotel has much to see, and most places of interest are either within walking distance or from the nearby bus stop.
In winter/fall, the house does get colder due to its age and open concept. We found that our room held heat well once we turned on the heater and let it run on automatic for a while, but we would have to go through that process each time we came back. As the toilets and

This is about an authentic a stay as it can come, and I loved every minute of my time at the hotel. While not exactly sound proofed as others had mentioned I think that was part of the charm, it was like staying at someone’s house. I also think the property is just beautiful, and the owner is so kind (and her dog is so cute!!!🥺). The room was small but that was expected, especially since I’m like 195 cm / 6’5” so I already expected to be bumping my head into things. The toilets are very modern, the showers are nice, and the entire inside is very cozy. I can imagine how it might be a bit cold in the winter as other reviewers had mentioned but I had no problems being here at the end of summer/start of autumn. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Kyoto!!
My only real complaint is I think the 4 PM check in time and 10 AM check out time are a little strange. I would’ve liked to have gotten breakfast the morning of my checkout since basically nothing opens before 9:30 which wasn’t really possible. I also arrived in Kyoto around 12 after arriving by plane at 8 AM so I basically had to wander aimlessly around the train terminal for 4 hours 😓.

It locate very close to a lot of major sites to visit. The rustic feels is as if visiting grandma. great value for budget travel. and your can experience old style Japanese home. you get plenty of hot water in the shower. Friendly staffs
The house was cold. it took a while for our room to heat up. Then when you leave your room for shared bathroom, it feels like you are going outside. we needed to make our own bed with futon. Shower stall is so tiny. big person might have a hard time turn around in it.

Very nice and affordable place to stay in Kyoto. Great location in Gion. The host is very friendly and welcoming which made the little hotel/Ryokan feel like home. Cosy blankets and everything was very clean. We recommend to stay at Hotel Lantern Gion when you are in Kyoto.
You can hear everything through the walls but earplugs are provided

The location is fantastic! A very beautiful neighbourhood. The Lady that works there is so nice and cute and tried to Help us with everything :) the futon and cushion were very comfortable. But the Walls are rather thin so be warned.

The cutest place to stay in Kyoto. The owner of this little hotel is so sweet and friendly, with great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The space is so clean and the host clearly works very hard to make it a great space for visitors.
Everything was perfect! It is an old house, but the owner takes much pride in it and it is super clean.

If you want to practice your Japanese, the lady who runs the place is very willing to help you, we had quite a good talk, also she speaks Chinese
Once you get use to the coded locks it's ok but a bit frustrating trying to upload passport details and stuff, via the internet

Excellent location and the hotel was quite secure. We basically had the place to ourselves so it was quite peaceful. Was great to be able to hire biked so easily.
A few more amenities in the room would be useful - somewhere to hang towels, only one powerpoint, no bin. But the accommodation was simple and cosy which is what we expected.

Our host was such a delight. She was so wonderful and helpful. My sister needed a massage from all the walking we've done, and our host gave a wonderful recommendation. All the rooms we booked were comfortable
In this tech world, would be nice to have more plugs beside the futon (but that's not a deal breaker)

Great value for money. Shared bathroom, but this was what we expected. Location was very central to everything, easy to walk to main attractions.
A bit dusty! But we were comfortable and at this price point it was still great value.
