Absolutely wonderful people at SAKANOUE, made me feel so welcome and special. I loved the unique, traditional vibe and peaceful atmosphere here. Only slight downside is outdated bathroom, and there is only an AC unit on the wall which isn’t very powerful so the room is quite stuffy at night (in here in September so it’s hot & humid).

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
We stayed 5 nights. We had to stay here as it was prebooked and we would not get a refund. This place is too expensive. There are better places available at this price. There are no amenities. The breakfast is same everyday. The breakfast is not freshly prepared and everything is purchased from outside or food is made from pre packaged. The staff are nice but do not speak in English and it is difficult. The staff is also on rotation and shared with other hotel. The onsen is just a hot tub in the basement.

Friendliest people ever! Our stay was special from the moment we walked in, until the very last part when we left. It was conveniently located where everything was a perfect walking distance. I was sad to leave, but hope to come back many more times ❤️

Staffs in Sakanoue are very nice. Room is a bit old but clean, very spacious compare to hotels. Location wise, the ryokan is located in Gion, right by Yakasa shrine. Gion is very pretty but it does take around 15 mins walk to all the shops in the CBD area of Kyoto. And FYI there is 12am curfew at sakanoue! They alsoprovide variety of free food (curry, Chaka and some western food options) for breakfasts, we ordered the Japanese breakfast and it was a bit disappointed tbh considering the price :( but overall very good experience and definitely will come back

We loved staying at Sakanoue. It is in the heart of Kyoto, which was very convient and perfect to wake up early to get beautiful pictures in the empty streets. The temples were a walking distance. Lots of good cafes and restaurants around. The floor bed was very comfortable, only pillows were a bit hard to sleep on. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would love to go back to this hotel!

Great place to experience an authentic Ryokan stay at the heart of Kyoto. Quite walkable to public transportation and sightseeing places such as Kiyomizu-dera and Kodaiji. Night visits to Yasaka shrine were great - just a 2 min walk from the Ryokan. I did not like that there were no vegetarian options provided for breakfast. Breakfast is a traditional egg, fish, vegetables and rice. Even the vegetables and rice are cooked with fish broth and hence cannot be consumed by vegetarians. I feel the meals can be made vegetarian friendly - at least the rice and vegetables.
