Kyoto Ryokan Hirashin

Kyoto Ryokan Hirashin is an older facility located within walking distance to Nishiki Market. It has large tatami rooms and a public furo/bath downstairs. Great experience but if you are not used to the bed on the floor, it may be hard for you. The shikibutons are hard, although I was fine with it. Think of them as exceptionally FIRM. Rooms had own toilet/tub shower. Good experience for the price. We paid for breakfast which was simple and meatless. Hotel let us keep our luggage there after 10:00 checkout so we could run around Kyoto without having to worry about them.

The room was spacious by Japanese standards, especially for the location. The location was excellent. Close to public transport and many interesting tourist attractions and great restaurants.

This is located very close to the local market. We should have booked a couple of nights here due to its location near the bus stop and Nishiki market.

Perfectly located, very clean Japanese style accommodation. They provided lots of extra bedding and the room was very spacious.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Created a very pleasant experience at the hotel. Location was also top notch in the middle of Kyoto with good access to plenty of places to eat and subway stops. Would definitely stay here again.
