10/10 Excellent
"Oh my God, I am obsessed with the Ryokusuitei! I could not believe such a place existed. Throughout our stay, we felt treated as royalty. The service❤️ Oh, I miss all the hard-working ladies and gentlemen at this hotel - they were so good to us ❤️ The food, the FOOD was so amazing ❤️ The evening kaiseki shabu-shabu, as well as the sprawling Japanese-style breakfast (be aware this is a Japanese breakfast buffet, not an international one, so if you don't like fish or pickles - that's on you). The private onsen on the balcony, with a view of the lake! I could cry just thinking about it. The water was lightly scented 🌺 The hotel is well worth the price, when you are basically getting the royal experience for a short little while. They also have a free shuttle that will pick you up at the nearest train station, which is easily accessible both from Osaka station and from Kyoto. Overall 10/10 highly recommend!"
