Kyoto Takasegawa Bettei, hotel in Kyoto

Located 1 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple and less than 1 km from TKP Garden City Kyoto in the centre of Kyoto, Kyoto Takasegawa Bettei provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The excellent experience starts the second you walk into the lobby doors. You are greeted by very friendly staff and the atmosphere is very calming. The rooms are stunning and quite spacious. They're very cozy with tatami flooring and of course the cedar bath. We found this stay to be extremely pleasant and would definitely recommend it to others.

Rooms were beautiful and well serviced. The dining room was lovely, as was the guest lounge fit with games, books and snacks. The outdoor garden was so peaceful and created a sense of tradition and beauty. The property as a whole was like its own little world amidst the street life of Kyoto. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and were so kind and hospitable. Couldn’t recommend more.

Toshiharu Ryokan, hotel in Kyoto

Built in the Meiji era and registered as a cultural asset, Toshiharu Ryokan offers traditional accommodation just a 3-minute walk from Gojo Station and 1 subway stop from JR Kyoto Train Station.

We were not disappointed and got the experience we paid for. We were treated with the utmost respect and waited on like VIPs. We stayed in the main downstairs room Satsuki and felt like King and Queen, so much so, we stayed in the Ryokan all day to rejuvenate. All the guests upstairs were so happy to be there too!! The hour long baths were divine. The traditional breakfast was generous. In fact, all of the staff were so serene and traditionally accomodating we couldn't thank them enough for making our romantic stay so special. The rooms were spotless and authentic. The beds were super comfy and our gowns, socks and shoes made us feel like home. Our garden gave me so much joy just looking at it and being in it. Our outside toilet was clean and delightful and we were glad to have it.

Ishibekoji Muan, hotel in Kyoto

I loved this property, everything was so nice, clean, and modern, while still keeping the traditional vibe of Kyoto. I can’t recommend enough this place. The girls at the reception were so nice and helped us with everything that we needed. We even got a bottle of wine as a gift for our honeymoon. I will definitely choose this place again next time. I know it is on the pricy side, but the value you get is simply amazing. You will not be disappointed.

Gion Oyado Kikutani, hotel in Kyoto

Set less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station, Gion Oyado Kikutani offers 3-star accommodation in Kyoto and features a garden.

The room gives you really the touch of a traditional japanese guest room. Nevertheless it's still modern and you have plenty of space.Even so you can only see the neighbors roof when looking outside (which is in the old town Gion common), you had a nice and bloomy aquarium to look at. From this Ryokan you could easily reach the main shrine in Gion by food.

Right in one of the busiest areas in Kyoto, yet so quiet as soon as we stepped into the inn. The rooms are good size and comfortable. Really like the bathtub. Food is fantastic, with a good variety over two nights. Staff are all friendly and helpful. I will not hesitate recommending the inn to everyone I know.

    Simply stunning. Lovely to stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Our lady was exceptional, giving first class treatment in talking us through many dishes she served, constantly topping our water, cleaning our teapot. V filling so be warned and you get to try things you wouldn’t get these days or in chain hotels. The onsen was a relief from the long journey. The futons v comfy. It was so unique to switch off, enjoy tranquility.

    The hosts were extremely gracious, and I love that it’s family-owned, in the building they live in! There is lovely tatami in the rooms and pretty comfy futons, with beautiful, minimalist decoration. Yukata and tea were provided for a full, relaxing ryokan stay.

    An authentic ryokan, in a building that's probably well over 100 years old. The rooms have tatami mats and futons and the onsen is beautiful. It's like staying in someone's home! This is not a super-swish modern hotel, so if that's what you want go elsewhere, but if you want a place with real character, staffed by people who treat you as long-lost friends, then this is the place for you. We will certainly return next time we're in Kyoto.

    It's a ryokan in a high building where you get yukatas, bento breakfast (beef is best), futons on the floor and a wonderful indoor onsen. We lived there for 3 nights and the best time to vizit the onsen was at 4 pm or about midnight. We walked to Gyon and Kiyomizu-dera, it took about 30-40 min.

    This Ryokan is located near several bus stops, perfect to sightsee Kyoto. The JR station is 10 min bus far away. The staff was very kind and warm as a real example of Japanese hospitality. This stay offers also several services like bike rental and onsen free tickets. The location was very relaxfull and quiet. Our room was equipped with tatami floor and futon beds. The room has several amenties, shower and bath tub. It has been a real japanese experience. We loved it!

    If you want to spend a few nights in a real ryokan (not the edulcorated-for-tourist replicas), this might be the real deal. Wooden and paper panels, tatami, futons, internal garden, traditional shower, in-room tea-set, yukatas, and many other details. My kids (14 and 11 y.o) said this was the best hotel in our 3-weeks-trip throughout Japan. The staff is very kind and eager to make your stay great.
