Hotels in Kyoto with Breakfast near Old Rissei Elementary School

One of the most memorable places in the time I was living in Japan, just because it is raw traditional and hidden gem, doing this review just to find it later when I go back.

My friend and I were wandering around Sannenzaka when we stumbed upon this place. There was a sign for Obanzai and the entrance tunnel kind of reminds me of the one Chihiro walked through.

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.

Very well managed hotel with gorgeous views from the rooftop bar and complimentary coffee and ice cream at their reception desk.

Staying at this hotel in Kyoto felt like a perfect harmony of tradition and modern elegance.

The rooms are clean and this hotel has some super fun amenities.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived earlier than check in, and the hotel allowed us to store our luggage. Having laundry was great.

The host is very friendly, providing personalized sightseeing recommendations on hand-drawn notes that are both cute and detailed. The location is excellent! The house is clean and well-maintained!

Amazing location and perfect place to experience the real Japanese life! Walking distance to many places, the owner is super friendly and supportive! I recommend staying here!

This ryokan is superb. They were very welcoming for American tourists. We stayed a full week, which is unusual for them. But we wanted to explore the Kyoto area. The meals were fantastic.

Great location, the staff was really helpful and anticipated our needs even before we could ask. Other reviews that called the staff rude but it was not the case. They were friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay at Campton Kiyomizu.

This is a beautiful old style hotel in the heart of the old touristy area of Kyoto. The place was huge by Japan standards. Two big bedroom and a large common living area for TV and eating.

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.

Great Staff and big rooms.

Our stay at Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi exceeded expectations. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully traditional while still offering modern comfort.

Absolutely amazing!

Excellent Ryokan at an amazing location. The staff were very helpful and eager to assist. The room was traditional tatami mat. Excellent place to enjoy the traditional Japanese experience.

This a really great option for travelers looking to stay in a ryokan without spending too much money! The location is good, in walking distance of Shijo Dori, Gion Corner, and the Kiyomizu Dera.

Excellent Stay!
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive from the moment I checked in. My room was spotlessly clean.

Super central traditional Hotel in Kyoto.
Room was super big, bathroom as well super big and clean!

Dimly lit room, no good lighting anywhere, average service and amenities at the place, location not the best. Does the job but I personally would spend more for somewhere more convenient.

Excellent hotel centrally located in Gion, highly walkable to top sights, restaurants, small local shops and massive shopping malls. The staff is great, friendly and efficient.

Excellent hotel. Amazing staff. Good coffee 24/7 in the lobby.

This was our favourite hotel on our Japan trip, and the most expensive of our selections.

Okami was a fabulous and generous host! We had an amazing stay and felt so welcomed and cared for.

An amazing experience, lovely room and Okami-San was such a nice host. If you want a full Kyoto experience this is definitely a great place to stay!

Absolutely incredible! The room was amazing, with a room-sized shower and separate hot tub/private onsen. The breakfast is both traditional Japanese and Western in style, and it's absolute delicious.

Cannot stress how great it was. Authentic place perfectly located, and each and every staff member went above and beyond for anything at anytime.

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful 3 night stay here at Yadoya Manjiro. Upon walking in through the gate the stone path was well manicured, lush, and inviting.

Probably the best hotel experience I‘ve ever had. The rooms are beautiful, the location is amazing and the service and hospitality is the best I have ever seen.

Traditional room and experience. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The traditional breakfast was amazing — tip: order less than you would otherwise because it is a lot of food.

You get what you pay for considering the look and the bathrooms in the rooms.

The bestest hostel I have ever stayed in my years of backpacking life!

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed!
I was supposed to stay in another place that was terrible so I found Ryokan hostel last minute and it was FANTASTIC!

The location was right off of busy area of Gion, super convenient yet quiet. The rooms are sooo spacious with the biggest and comfiest bed!

Art Mon Zen Kyoto is as close to perfection as any hotel I’ve ever experienced.

I loved my stay here. The room was comfy and bright, and easy walking distance to what is the beautiful city of Kyoto! Highly recommended.

The location is near most iconic spots in Kyoto, very convenient, and the room is just perfectly comfortable after a long day of strolling around the city.

The best hospitality in Kyoto! The entire staff was super welcoming and friendly, and we were well taken care of throughout the stay. The room was very spacious and the onsen was relaxing.

This hotel delivers an amazing experience, blending aesthetic beauty, Japanese tradition, comfort, and warm hospitality.

Totally loved it! We stayed here for a few nights. We had to do the bedding but it was worth experiencing the traditional Japanese room space.

Lovely hotel! However while service was generally acceptable in the beginning. We booked a room for five people including two children.

Wonderful experience here. I stayed for 2 nights and it is very traditional and very immersive. The staff are INCREDIBLY friendly and helpful.

I love this traditional Japanese hotel! It was perfect. Staff was incredibly friendly, hotel itself is easily accessible in Kyoto, about 5-10min walk from Nishiki Fish Market.
