We LOVED Rakuro Kyoto and would come stay here again! The staff was so nice and helped me book a breakfast while I was there, and were just lovely people. The room was great, and felt slightly bigger than other Japanese hotel rooms. The amenities at this hotel were so nice, and made coming back to the hotel something we looked forward to instead of just being someplace to sleep at night. The location is great, around the corner from a subway stop, right on the main road for the busses, and next to a great park.

We stayed for three nights. Staff were not rude, but not friendly either. The room was more spacious than others in Japan and the shower included a bathtub. The lounge was very nice and relaxing. It's a stone's throw from Kyoto Gyoen National Gardens and Nijo-jo Castle, which was nice. As a minus, there were cobwebs on the ceiling and they clearly don't clean under or on the side of the bed. Additionally, the washing machine has detergent included and it smelled really strange/not clean. It took me a while to get the smell out of our clothes.
