Ryokan Mugen

“Excellent service, the hotel staff was very attentive, helped us with our daily itinerary and recommended good restaurants in the area. They have a good breakfast, either Japanese or Western. The location is ideal, in a non-touristic residential area (quiet at night) but within walking distance to the Imperial Palace and the Nijo castle. There are also subway stops within 10-15min walk. We took the bus from Kyoto train station and it was easy to find. Loved the fact they have bicycles available for guests, this is really the best way to move around the city. They have a terrific private bar where we enjoyed a couple of drinks each night after touring around. And last but not least, the fact it’s an adult only ryokan was a big plus for us (disclaimer: we love kids).”

“The service, friendliness of the staff, quality of the breakfast, location and the overall feel, look and atmosphere of the place were all great and made our stay calming and enjoyable. Definitely would stay again, and recommend to everyone planning to visit Kyoto. P.S: The welcome drink was a pleasant surprise!”

“Service was impeciable and ryokan was really nice to stay in.”

“Wonderful ryokan with lovely staff. They were extremely helpful and assisted with planning itineraries for each day. Each morning we were sent off with water, hand warmers and, when raining, umbrellas. The Japanese breakfast was sublime as was the coffee. A little out of town but easily accessible and in a quiet neighbourhood. Will come back and stay here next time.”

“Great authentic Japanese breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff who gave me some great tips off the beaten path.”
