Beautiful Ryokan in the middle of Kyoto, walking distance to popular districts while having a relaxing location. The staff were beyond welcoming and made us feel at home. They provided traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner which was delicious. Sleeping in the traditional Japanese tatami beds was one of the best sleeps I've had, they provided pyjamas and yakata/robes to wear around the hotel. It was like a well serviced and welcoming BnB. I definitely would stay here again and wish I had stayed longer than 2 days.

If you are a larger foreigner, this place may not be for you as it's traditional and low set furniture and smaller doors. I can not fault a single thing about this Ryokan at all.

The room was quite spacious! The staff were very friendly. They spoke very little english, but that did not matter at all. It was evident that they love their business and care deeply about their guests. The spa is not a traditional "onsen," but a large hot tub. It was rainy and cold when I visited so being able to slip in there at the end of the day was fantastic.

I did three breakfasts with the hotel, and on the third day, I did not get a traditional Japanese breakfast. Instead I got a western style basket of baked goods with two eggs. I would have preferred a repeat of a prior meal or to know that the third day would be western so I could avoid paying so much for a doughnut and eggs.

We stayed in the twin room with garden view - it was absolutely stunning, and will be hard to beat for the rest of our trip! The concierges were very helpful, and loved to help - in fact, it sometimes seemed an affront if I picked up my own shoes - truly lovely people who really care about the ryokan and your time in it.

We had the traditional ryokan breakfast for both the nights we stayed - it was really interesting! The first day we liked 80% of the food, and the second day slightly less... there was an instruction card as to what all the different dishes were, but it did say in the corner, dishes may differ - had no idea what the different dishes were, but that is all. It was worth it for the experience!

Charming little ryokan. Staff could not have been nicer. English is limited, but we were able to communicate effectively. Location was convenient to the train and sites. This is what I'd call a bare-bones ryokan. If you're looking for a large onsen and higher end experience, this is not the one for you. This is small and somewhat dated, but that's oddly part of its charm. It served our purposes nicely for a short stay

Common areas could use some updating, but the staff was so charming and our private space was pleasant.

Centrally located, this ryokan was great for a traditional Japanese experience. The staff/owners were so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was interesting as well as the shared bathroom, but it does include an onsen bath which is nice to use at end of day. Only a short walk to the Nishki markets as well as shops and plenty of food options to eat out

As it is an old building the musty smell of the rooms was a bit over bearing but the humidifier does help in the rooms. The shared bathrooms are also only open from 4pm-11pm which might be annoying if you wanted to have a shower in the morning but overall not too much of a bother.

A very cute traditional inn in Kyoto. It's 150 years old, so there are aspects of the ryokan that do reflect that. Our room was spacious, but the showers are in a separate area and are shared (separated by men/women, but no private shower partitions), so something to keep in mind. The hot tub in the shower area was really nice. Great for soaking after a long day of sightseeing. The staff was super friendly and hospitable and the breakfast was delicious and totally worth it in my opinion. There's wifi in the room and air conditioning.

There were a few stains in the carpet here and there and a few areas that smelled a little musty (mainly the bathroom), but overall enjoyed our stay.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Ryokan Sanga since I had read some poor reviews since booking. The location is close to the local market but some distance from the nearest subway. We took taxi to and from the railway station because of luggage The Ryokan Sanga is styled as a traditional Japanese inn although this sieems to be within a more modern structure. We were made welcome by the owner on arrival. Our room was comfortable and warm with 2 Futons laid on the mat. There was en-suite toilet and wash basin. Shower and bath was at the traditional communal Japanese bath which is only available in the late afternoon and evening.. A good traditional Japanese breakfast was served which varied over the time we stayed.

Morning bath session would be nice.

My stay in Ryokan Sanga was really nice. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Booking, payment and any other communication went smoothly. You can also use a TaQbin from the accommodation to your next stay. It is a good area to stay at in kyoto, many things are in walking distance and you are close to any common bus line. The room itself was super pretty, and the futon comfortable. The onsen was really nice and you get a yukatta to use. The breakfast is extraordinary good if you like Japanese Breakfast, and I would recommend to book it. If you stay several days the breakfast will change slightly from day to day. I would definitely like to stay here again and would recommend the place to anyone that wants to stay in Kyoto!

You have to stay here to experience a full Ryokan experience! Make sure to do the breakfast! They offer an 8 or 8:30am meal. I didn’t expect it to be that fancy. I’m glad it got me to try new things that I wouldn’t have necessarily ordered at a restaurant because I would have been nervous. I also liked that it was a few blocks away from the shopping district, which was closed around 8:30-9pm so the area got quiet at night. It’s an amazing spot for tourists to stay. The owner was super sweet, tended to us at the door every time was came in and left for the day. The staff was all sweet and attentive, I wasn’t expecting such service.

Only thing is our bedroom had a smell when you walked in. It smelled musty or like a hamster cage. But we just opened the windows to air it out and then it was fine. I would stay again though, it wasn’t a big deal compared to everything else that was great.

The place was amazing, it was our first time staying in a traditional Japanese Ryokan. The tatami mats, public baths, futons, and all the traditional decor was very beautiful. Staff were very accommodating. The two men running the place tried their hardest to communicate with us in English (they're learning! Very cute). Breakfast was so beautiful, was an amazing start to the day. The baths were INCREDIBLE. The best bath I've ever had. Perfect temperature, so clean, the tub was massive. Toiletries and all the amenities were lovely, too.

The pillows they supplied with the futons were very flat. They need to supply XXL size slippers for non-Asian guests with larger feet (they have L slippers, but even those were small). It would also be helpful if they had a sign near the front of the entrance to indicate how to properly enter a Japanese ryokan (etiquette about taking shoes off, etc).
