Ryokan Sanki

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

First & foremost the bathroom facilities are shared. This needs to be made quite clear, as 'separate' facilities is open to interpretation. PLUS you are sharing the ONE shower & male/female toilets with members of the family. So take that into consideration. The lock on the shower did not work & if you're claustrophobic the toilets will be a challenge ... lol. Bear in mind that this is a house and the stairs to the rooms & bathroom are steep. However, in saying all that, Mamasan, the hostess, was delightful & obliging. The rooms were great & you're located in a quiet neighbourhood. Some good restaurants, a 7-11 & supermarket are close by. As is the Tambaguchi Station, 1 or 2 stops from Kyoto Central & the line for Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Most of the major monuments/sights are easily accessible, either by foot or bus/train. All in all a good choice if you take the above into consideration. I would classify this as more of a home stay or hostel with traditional Japanese accommodation.

Very nice landlady

Located from a 5 minute walk to Tanbaguchi station Ryokan Sanki is a

The owner was amazing and made you feel incredibly welcome!

Quaint, traditional guest house with a very kind host. Room was clean and futon mats were clean and comfortable. Our room had interior facing windows to a lovely garden to let the fresh air in. Made for a great authentic experience in Kyoto. Make sure you arrive within the check in hours; it is a family run establishment so they don’t have someone up 24/7.

Wonderful tatami room in a traditional-style house that feels completely authentic - this is old Japan in all its tranquil beauty. The owner is laid back and vibrant and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. You'll need transport by bus or bike to the center of town, but the guesthouse rewards that extra effort. I would happily stay here again.

The property is a wonderful old building with traditional construction. It is a true old building and is therefore very quirky. My only problem with the property was that the property is mislabeled as private bathroom when it is actually shared. Everything else was as expected and a wonderful experience.

This ryokan is more like a home house than a regular hotel. The manager is a very nice person and it is easy to communicate with her. The whole hotel is filled with Japanese elements and it feels like staying in a Japanese home. Although the restroom and bathroom are shared, they are clean and I don't meet any conflict with other guests when using them. However, the location is less convenient than others. It locates within a historical residential area, nice for experiencing Japanese life, but it takes me about 5 min to walk to JR stations or bus stops, which is bad if you carry heavy luggages. Also it is very hard to drive there or take a taxi since the road is narrow. Overall, I am very pleased and satisfied with my stay here.

Very Nice. The Lady is specially gentle. I will return there when in Kyoto.

Peaceful convenient and comfortable . Good homely customer service
