5 Stars
This is one of the best places I have ever stayed - business or pleasure. The location was perfect - close to the bridge and to the restaurants - and steps away from the river. The rooms were spacious, so comfortable and we had an ensuite Onzen which was amazing. The team at the Onzen was 5 stars - If I could give more I would. Every need was met - sometimes before we even asked for or realize we needed it. From check in to check out time... they made us feel so special.
We had dinner and breakfast on site, I would highly recommend it!
My only regret - I wish we would have stayed longer.

A gem of a place
From the first moment we arrived we knew it was a special place. We received a warm welcome, got escorted to our room and give welcome drinks and cookies. Our room was immaculate. We had a beautiful view of the river and our own private Japanese garden and inside and outside onsen bath. We were provided with breakfast and dinner in the kaiseki style in our own room. The food was spectacular very fresh and full of local flavours. The service was impeccable, personal and friendly. The location was perfect for local sightseeing.
We absolutely loved our stay and heartily recommend it.

This ryokan is exceptional! The place is beautiful and we were able to have an outdoor furo as well as a cedar wood furo inside the room.
The meals were outstanding as well as the service. We would highly recommend this place.

simply wonderful
We had a magical time at Ryotei Rangetsu. The breakfast was delightful and exquisitely prepared; they accommodated one of our party being vegan. The private outdoor bath attached to our room was wonderful. The staff spoiled us with the epitome of hospitality.

it is located int he most picturesque part of Kyoto-- Just on the river. One can not expect more than that. It far from central districts but it is worth it during very high tourist season.

Our stay in the room with the private hot spring bath was more than just a nights stay but an experience on its own. With the room being at the foot of the mountain overlooking the river, theres no shortage of breaktaking scenery. The unbelievable full service dinner and breakfast served and presented on beautiful tableware was artwork. A quiet, private and relaxing experience that made my wife and I feel like royalty. Walking distance from multiple local shops and other activities, Ryotei Rangetsu is one of the reasons we will be returning to Kyoto.

Highly recommended
Staying here was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. I can't say enough nice things. The location was good. It was a beautiful property with very nice rooms. The service was absolutely outstanding and the food was amazing. Years of travel have made me slightly picky around hotels and this really exceeded my every expectation. We hope to return in the future!

This was the best accommodation we have ever stayed at. The staff is better than ANY 5-star hotel I’ve stayed at, they provide very personal and helpful service. Which is likely easy for them as there are only a few rooms in the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, all amenities are provided and yes, traditional robes are provided as well during the stay. The nearby attractions like the Bamboo walk and Monkey Park are minutes away by foot. There’s great street food nearby, though they do close by 5-6pm. Overall, would highly highly recommend a stay at Ryotei Rangetsu if you are able to get an available room.

The staff were I kind and extremely thoughtful. We went out for a walk in the rain. They gave us umbrellas but our shoes still got wet. They put our shoes in a drying compartment so when we came back down to go to dinner, they were warm and dry. Our rooms was large with a beautiful view. I would stay here again!

Ryotei Rangetsu was excellent! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The property was clean, spacious, and the onsen easily accesible and well kept. The location is also excellent. Right outside of the Main Street, on the river, but quiet. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
