Highly recommended.
1. The breakfasts are amazing. Looked forward to it every morning during the trip.
2. The room we booked includes 2 beds and 2 futons, I like that combination, suitable for the elderly who may have problems sleeping on the floor.
My kids also said the futon is super comfy.
3. The location is very convenient too, within walking distance to many places of interest.
4. If you prefer to have no room service during the stay, you can also opt out of room service, and the hotel will gift you a box of cookies as a replacement for that option. I like that.
5. We booked a Kaiseiki dinner one day in advance during our stay, a bit expensive, but the experience was amazing, and we had the entire restaurant for ourselves for that dinner.
But, I won't recommend booking all dinners (with the room) though, there are a lot of good meal options around the area. So definitely should explore more; must try more options in Gion as there are many amazing Japanese places within walking distance.
Overall a really good experience. Thank you.

Very good experience! At first, I chose the Hana Ryokan to experience the Japanese tradition, and it didn't disappoint.
The tatami room is large and clean, the bedding is very comfortable, and the sleep is very comfortable.
Although it is winter, the air conditioning in the room is great, and you won't feel cold sleeping directly on the tatami.
The toilet and shower are separate, both are very clean, and the Japanese-style bathroom is also unique. There is plenty of hot water, but it took a little time to figure out the shower when I debugged it at the beginning.
The location of the hotel is very good. It takes only three minutes to walk to Yasaka Shrine, less than 20 minutes to walk to the main street of Kawaramachi, and about 20 minutes to Kiyomizu Temple. There are a lot of food and shopping on the way, which will not make people feel tired of rushing. It is just that eating and shopping will indefinitely extend the time to the destination haha.
Kyoto is beautiful. I was very happy every day in Kyoto. After the daytime tour experience, returning to the hotel is a new enjoyment. Thank you Hana Ryo for giving us such a great experience, looking forward to seeing you next time!

The location is first-rate, very close to Yasaka, Shimizu and other places, and you can learn more about geisha, 30 meters away from the hotel in the alley on the side. The room is generally livable, neither good nor bad, livable, convenient to go anywhere, and there are many Michelin restaurants nearby.

It was beyond expectation. It was great because we stayed in the Huale Suite with 2 adults and 1 child. It was spacious enough. The hotel service was good. It was very close to Kiyomizu Temple and it only took more than 10 minutes to walk. There were beautiful scenery along the way.

The location is very good, right next to Hachiman Shrine, and there is a tower further ahead, and Kiyomizu Temple is also within walking distance.
The most commendable thing about this restaurant is of course its cuisine.

Hotel service: very good, the front desk staff are very polite, they will help you with your luggage.
Hotel facilities: The environment is clean and hygienic.
Location:
Advantages: Very close to Yasaka Shrine.
Disadvantages: It is a 5-minute walk from the convenience store. It is troublesome to carry large luggage because you have to push the luggage up a diagonal path of about 40 meters.
Summary: It is a good choice to come and experience the traditional Japanese hotel culture. If it is a business or family trip, there are better choices at this price.

A hotel with an excellent location, just a stone's throw away from Kodaiji Entokuin Temple Ninnizaka to the south, and only a few minutes' walk from Shijo Street to the north. The key is that the hotel and Oda Nobunaga live next to each other, really only separated by a wall.
