Ryokan in Funai District

"Everything about the Rhino Hotel was seemingly so unsettling underrated by many reviewers that it received only a 2-star rating on the online websites. The amenities such as the gym has a an open studio schedule open to the general public also, offering daily group classes and activities weekly. The gym + spa areas for hotel guests are highly recommended, with a full range of aerobic fitness machines available, free weights, to fitness equipment. The swimming pool is also a great option for guests alike, and has daily activities scheduled for groups workouts. The rooms themselves are very ample for single use and designed for business travelers. Though the brand used for bathing and showering is pleasantly too feminine for the most, compared to scents or fragrances which have a more masculine feel and appeal. One would recommend selecting their own body shampoo fragrance. Otherwise, an array of free products are available within the room stay. The only thing which was a bit off, was the Front Desk Reception staff. Males who often were terribly abrupt and rather attentive but annoyingly ruder than the females or makes in more upscaled hotels, (e.g., Metropolitan Hotel Tokyo Ikebukuro, Hotel Fukuracia Osaka, APA Hotel Nagoya Sakae Ekimae Excellent). An insensitive rapport to others especially if one is a non-native Japanese speaker. Finding the attitude rather stiff and dismissive. An outstanding location next to a major transit hub—highly recommended nonetheless."

"Our stay was magical! This was our first experience with a ryokan and also our first night in Kyoto. The staff were very nice & helpful. The shared living space was quiet and clean. The gardens were gorgeous and the food was good. The japanese breakfast was delicious!!!"

"The staff were polite and friendly. Guided us through the process of taking a Yakuta and how to use the private onsens. Very nice to stay in a traditional ryokan."

"Good room, everything worked as needed."

"Good, clean hotel in convenient location. Has it's own public bath/onsen on site which was a great at the end of a long day."

"Kyoto is probably one of the loveliest cities in the world, but one drawback is the limited number of hot springs (onsen). Eminence Hotel is a wonderful exception, offering both indoor and outdoor onsen. The hotel is located in the Ōharano area of Rakusai New Town, surrounded by beautiful nature. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay in a peaceful, scenic setting, I would definitely recommend Eminence Hotel."

"It’s a nice cozy clean place and budgeted place."

"It was very nice! Staff was great"

"Great staff. budget accommodations . Loved the small town vibe. Some temples close by. Walkable not central."
