Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 213 reviews
Izumiya Ryokan is a traditional ryokan in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto. Guest reviews frequently mention the staff's kindness and the basement public bath.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise the 'extremely friendly staff.' The basement bath is popular for relieving fatigue, and tatami rooms with fluffy bedding offer a Japanese atmosphere. It's conveniently 10 minutes by taxi or bus from Kyoto Station.
However, some complaints note the old building with worn facilities. There are mentions of weak air conditioning or no room Wi-Fi. Breakfast has good views but is uncomfortably hot.
Suits families or groups seeking traditional ryokan vibes.
