Ine Hotels

Stayed here back in February for one night and it was a phenomenal stay.

Beautiful hotel with a great service.
Every morning you can go to see the Buddhist ceremony which I recommend to do at least once.

What a wonderful stay and experience. I've stayed in Kyoto many times, but this was the first time we decided to stay at Watazen Ryokan for a different experience from a typical hotel.

This property was wonderful and enabled me to be relaxed during my stay. Solo travel or in a group. The facility is very well located.

Small, Intimate, and Cozy Hotel Stay!
We have made an excellent choice in staying here. Booked at the last minute late November 2025 (due to a failed no-show from a ryokan booking).

Small hotel on a quiet street about 600m from the subway. Great water pressure, comfortable beds and just large enough for 2 people and a few suitcases. Kitchen with fridge, microwave and cook top.

What a beautiful stay—easily our best accommodation in Japan so far! It offered a wonderful traditional ryokan experience with exceptional hospitality.

We spent one night at this Ryokan and our experience couldn't have been better. The room is extremely comfortable, the ofuro is made of wood and provides a truly sensational experience.

The room had a very distinctive Kyoto charm, and the kitchen was fully equipped—it was delightful to cook and eat together with my family.

100% recommend. Walking distance to Gion, Nishiki market (both must dos), as well as Kyoto station (if you're not carrying luggage).

This wonderful Ryokan is surrounded by spectacular forests and beautiful temples. The Ryokan was beautifully laid out and very comfortable and calming.

This ryokan is a quiet retreat away from the busy-ness of Kyoto. Seryo's owners and staff are very welcoming, professional, and helpful. The meals were excellently crafted with fresh ingredients.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this ryokan. The setting is charming, peaceful, and wonderfully immersive, making it easy to disconnect and relax.

Beautiful ryokan and traditional rooms with super convenient location to central Kyoto! The owner was so sweet and kind and the room was beautiful!

This is a great location if you want to get away but still be close to the action.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. The location is fantastic, close to restaurants the nishiki markets and all public transport. The rooms are large clean and comfortable.

It was an interesting experience. For reference I’ve only stayed at one capsule hotel before.

The facility is so clean, well maintained, friendly staffs, the breakfast is very good, unlimited rice and toppings are plus points.

Garden Villa Denshin An is a place of serenity, thoughtfully designed with lots of attention to details. Yu and the staff were genuine, kind and attentive, making us feel welcome from the start.

This place is absolutely perfect. We will stay here again if we return to Kyoto.
It is not in the main downtown area.

Positives:
-We had a whole apartment to ourselves — it was nice having 2 separate rooms, one western style, one Japanese style.

Fantastic service with very friendly staff. Super clean, great public transport via bus and train 👌🏽 would stay again.

The location is great near to Kyoto station and on the main road.

Absolutely loved our stay!

Absolutely stunning Ryokan in the mountains of Kyoto. Beautiful and traditional stay. We used the shuttlebus from Hanazono which was really convenient.

It is a little dated but that added to the charm for me. The staff was wonderful. The food was delicious. The setting was magical. I really liked having a private outside hot tub.

Amazing stay, and one of the cheaper options. The hosts were very kind and met us at the property, explaining everything in detail.

It's honestly amazing. I haven't felt so welcome in years. The owners are absolutely amazing. Definitely stay here! The house is beautiful and so comfortable. Thank you so much for the great time.

We were allowed to check in two hours earlier than our check-in time which was greatly appreciated after a tiring travel day. The rooms were very tidy and the service was quick and professional.

Cute small family friendly hotel with very friendly staff. Our room was beautifully designed with cosy double beds in front of a circle shaped window. Well equipped and very clean.

I’m so grateful for all the lovely amenities. The rooms were so cool! I’d love to stay here longer. Water pressure was crazy high (a good thing), and sitting shower setup was so relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay, the rooms were very spacious and they gave us a river view upon request. Service was fantastic, great English speaking staff members. Location was perfect in the Gion area.

Recently stayed at the KéFU stay and lounge for my short stay in Kyoto, and I only have positive things to say.

I stayed at KéFU stay & lounge, for a short duration. However during my 4 days I was able to throughly enjoy my time.
The service was incredible and the food was amazing.

The exact ryokan experience we were hoping to get in Kyoto. Beautiful, traditional building and rooms, absolutely incredible Japanese breakfast each morning, and comfortable futons.

I stayed in the single room at Inn Kawashima for 7 nights. It’s a quiet place to rest and recharge after going out for the day.

I stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment at Kyoto 4 sisters. We were a group of 6 including a baby. The apartment complex is very spacious and well maintained.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The staff were pleasant and eager to help. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The Residence is well placed for visiting Kyoto on foot or by metro.

Such a great place to stay! Big thanks to the owners who dropped us off the train station after check out. A really wonderful experience in kyoto!

We went a few days ago with my partner, we stayed 4 nights since we wanted to live the experience of a typical house and it was beautiful!

The service here was wonderful, the food was great, the location is phenomenal. The traditional room & yuzu bath were a nice respite after a long day of exploring Kyoto.

Incredible experience all around. Some of the best breakfasts we’ve had anywhere either beautiful presentation and attentive to our dietary restrictions.

Beautiful Japanese traditional style accommodation with 7 guest rooms.
The signs and info sheets are beautifully drawn by the owner. Various items can be borrowed for free (ie.

The photos do not mislead! This guesthouse is very special: The owner, Yuki, and her daughter and staff were so kind, generous and patient.

We stayed at the Shinmonzen for two nights while on a trip to Japan for our honeymoon. They went above and beyond in absolutely every way.

I have been fortunate to stay at some of the top hotels in the world, and no where have I had a more meaningful stay than at the Shinmonzen.

I booked Japanese Style room. The room is spacious. With plenty of space for our 4 luggages. The futons is very comfy.

Stay here if you want to experience culture while staying at an excellent Kyoto location. My husband and I stayed on here on our first trip to Japan in a tatami room.

I was a bit worried seeing some negative reviews but I can confidently say that those must be from troll accounts as this was probably our favorite stay we have ever been to. Extremely kind and

This was definitely a very traditional experience my boyfriend and I loved every moment the staff were always so kind an welcoming.
