Luck You Kyoto — Local services in Kyoto

Luck You Kyoto is an epitome of Japan - efficient, systematic, clean. Every aspect of our stay is of good quality, esp the futon that gave us a good night sleep.

We are 3 adults in a triple room. Although the room does not have a luxury of space, every inch is meticulously designed to achieve its best use. And facilities in the bathroom and toilet are top notch (Grohe shower w good water pressure).

Breakfast is basic but homely, and comprises of a simple Japanese and Western fare. From late afternoons to 10pm, crackers and cookies are served, togther w coffee and tea that are available throughout the day.

Luck You Ryokan is close to the main sight and sound district of Gion, yet far from the hustle and bustle of it. Direct bus to Gion is just less than 200m away. And along the way, there is a Family Mart convenient store and some eateries.

The public bath experience that comes complimentary with the room is an must-have experience w the locals! Do not be daunted with the fact that you have to be remove all clothes in the bath, frankly, no one cares! Everyone is just enjoying their private time in the bath. Must do!

kyoto Bus Day Pass 700Yen is available for sale for the reception. Complimentary amenities and heat pads are available too!

The diligent staff has taken such good care of their customers and property alike. Hospitality is hard work and i truly respect their dedication.

This is my 2nd day at Luck You Ryokan and I cannot wait to share my fabulous experience. I am so glad I hv 1 more night of stay here!

Thank you Luck You Ryokan for the unforgetable experience, and big thanks to the warm staff for making us...

We stayed here for three nights in February in order to experience a traditional ryokan and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by some very friendly staff upon arrival and were served tea and traditional cakes/sweets whilst completing the formalities before being shown to our room, which was on the ground floor.| |The accommodation was a very quaint and a modestly decorated room with a table and chairs on a rattan floor. I did wonder how we would cope with getting up and down from the floor (being of a certain age!) but we got used to it. Upon request we were shown how to make up the futon beds and these were surprisingly comfortable, there was also underfloor heating. The room was cleaned daily and beds put away for space, which we had to make up each night but that was fine and all added to the experience! Fresh bedding and towels were provided each day as well as pyjamas and slippers, should we wish to wear them.||The bathroom was very small. My husband and I aren't very large people and even we felt a bit restricted whilst washing but again, we got by. However a larger and taller person might be struggling. There is the option of an onsen opposite although we didn't use this.|There was a plentiful choice of Japanese or continental style for breakfast in a cosy dining area. Also they operated a "happy hour" each evening with refreshments and cakes/biscuits in reception for guests to partake in.||All in all, a lovely place to stay and we would have no hesitation in recommending this ryokan. We had a very...

This is being reviewed from the words and thoughts of my daughter whose dream trip to visit Japan: Its a cozy hotel on a little side street but very close to public transit. When you walk in you are greeted by the friendly staff and told all about the place. They were very accommodating to us in our stay, giving extra futons for my older mother and father who needed the support. There are no traditional beds, you sleep on the floor on a futon mattress but that's not a problem with the extra cushion they offer should you also need it. They even got soy milk to accommodate my mothers dietary needs so she could have coffee in the morning. The breakfast was a traditional Japanese breakfast with miso soup and rice, but they also had sweet and savory sandwiches as well. At night they had a small happy hour with little sweets and tea which was pleasant. There is also an onsen right across which you get free access to as part of your stay for those that want to experience it. I highly recommend staying there if you can book a room. It has limited rooms so be sure to book around a year in advance. Overall we had a great stay there and would encourage anyone who wants a traditional homely feeling ryokan to...
