Kyoto style small inn Iru

新しくて清潔。リフォームのセンスがよい。水回りは外にあったけど、バリのホテルぽくて逆にワクワク新鮮だった。目の前に銭湯もあり、ゆっくり寛げるのも◎。

立地は必ずしも便利とは言えないが、逆に京都に住んでる気持ちになれた。

京都大学まで歩いていける距離の宿泊施設は希少です。周囲に食事処も多数あります。余計なサービスが無い一方で、シャワーや洗濯や自炊などが利用でき、出張にちょうどよかったです。

階段が急でやや危険に思います。部屋にエアコンもあり、初夏で気候がよかったので快適でしたが、冬季はすきま風で寒そうですし、夏季は暑そうに思いました。

部屋から見える庭や建物の感じがとても良かったです。

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).
