This place was ok. Nothing special. The desk staff was helpful. The elevator was dirty, obviously not cleaned very often. Take note, you’re sleeping on the floor.

The water leaked from the ceiling while we booked the traditional Japanese Roman experience. We could not sleep all night, kept moving the bed around the room to avoid water drops and the staff was not empathetic about it at all on reporting the incident.

I loved the people in this ryokan, just please do something about the smell and windows cleanliness, I understand the property is very traditional but, a little improvement on the general state would be fantastic, the first floor is all impregnated with cigarette smell due to the smoke room, and the upper floors smelled like rust and fish.

Solid property in a great and convenient area. The rooms are quite dated and a little dirty but it's also the cheapest place around, didn't bother us much. Staff was really friendly and the traditional breakfast (paid) was great. They offer a free luggage keep that was super convenient as well.

Not a good traditional Ryokan experience
I was looking forward to staying in a traditional Japanese inn as described in previous reviews and YouTube but was disappointed on all counts. There was no personal greeting or attendant assigned to us, no tea on arrival. Kaiseki dinner was not served in our room. Kaiseki dinner items did not match the description on menu & not great. Both meals were in the dining room. Breakfast choices were either Japanese or Western but had to be ordered before 8pm the night before. Western breakfast was mediocre-no choice of eggs. The takoyaki experience was a joke. We were given an electric griddle,plain batter, frozen shrimp & octopus with directions but no pickled red ginger or green onions provided as described. We cooked our own without help. Kimonos were in room but no directions. Two thin towels per person & charge 300 yen for ice or extra towels. All of the other 6 Japan hotels we stayed in also had a public bath or onsen so no need to stay in a Ryokan like this one for that experience. Don't stay here if you are hoping for a traditional Japanese inn. It's basically a 2 star hotel with futons to sleep on. We stayed extra day(s) for this Ryokan experience. It cost us more than the regular hotels but was my least favorite Japan hotel. One lady on staff was helpful with directions on how to catch the airport bus. Location was good for Dontonburi.
