Kyoto style small inn Iru

Love the aesthetics and it’s a super convenient location in walking distance of the university and many restaurants. Great for kids and the owner is very child conscious, was so nice to have this feeling while traveling with a young kid.

It was perfect

Nothing everything was great

La taille de l'hébergement L'authenticité d’un logement japonais La gentillesse du jeune homme qui nous a accueilli dans un bel anglais (malgré ce qu’il pensait de son niveau!) La présence salvatrice de la climatisation dans la chambre Quartier très calme

Une seule douche pour tout l'établissement, c’est peu Les toilettes qui surchauffent suite à leur exposition au soleil Petit déjeuner inclus, c’est bien mais il est très sommaire L'entrée (très discrète) de l'hébergement est obstruée par des vélos, ce n’est pas évident quand on a des bagages Un peu éloigné des transports (il faut marcher 10 minutes pour un arrêt de bus)

The ryokan style accommodation facilities were nice. Western toilets were great. Lovely shared kitchen with breakfast (breads, juice, tea & coffee). A number of small style Japanese resturants /bar and 2 excellent bath houses - 550Y close by. Also 7/11 convenience store (food, cooking supplies, alcohol and atm) only a short walk away.

The futon matress was very thin which resulted in this Westener having uncomfortable sleeps (despite tatami mats). The bath is only suitable for a child so go to the amazing bath houses (one litterally across the road). Pushbikes were available for 500Y per day but you needed to prebook. In Kyoto (Japan) it rains frequently (October) so I checked the weather each day before deciding what I was doing. As there was no staff around, I tryed to take a bike (pay later) but all the bikes were locked. Hardly ever saw staff - In my 8 day stay: I was checked in (despite being there most nights).
