Guest Houses in Kyoto near Old Rissei Elementary SchoolGuesthouse

We had a lovely stay at Matsui Honkan in a Japanese style room. There was plenty of space for the family (4 of us) and the Japanese breakfasts served in the room were very good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Matsui Honkan. We stayed in a traditional room, which was very spacious and quiet.

I read some of the cleanliness reviews prior and had none of those issues, we stayed here for 4-5 days and of all the hotels we stayed in, more and less expensive, this was all in all the cleanest.

This is a nice place to stay if you want to experience an authentic and traditional ryokan an amazing Japanese experience you would want to know/live at least once, staff was friendly and room was

I stayed here for almost a week and I really enjoyed my stay. It’s a family run ryokan and the family is very hospitable and friendly. They made me feel very welcome.

Coming back to Gion Sano feels like coming home, they have four big friendly dogs which slowly walk around in the day and are very calm.

They’re so nice and the room was quiet, cozy, and comfortable. The onsen on the 2nd floor is small but tattoos are okay. Traditional breakfast in a private room was perfect.

We had such a wonderful experience at Kagihei. We wish we stayed longer. What a lovely surprise to find such peace and tranquility so close to the busy Nishiki market.

My partner and I had an incredible stay at Nishiyama Ryokan.

Loved that I stayed here! From checkin to checkout… everything was smooth. Welcomed with tea and a hot towel and someone personally escorted me to my room and explained everything.

The service here is really great, the front desk staff and all are friendly, polite and helpful, beyond the 3 star designation that it has (I think that's to do with the facilities, but I digress).

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.

We have a lovely time staying in Kamuroan. Even though we weren't the best house guests (coming home almost exactly at the curfew, leaving very early, being forgetful and clumsy). Ookini Okami-san!

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

The Rinn Miyagawacho Grande provided amazing service from a hardworking and gracious team!

We had a great stay. At one point, we put in our laundry but didn’t realise it would take 2 hours and we had to leave for the day.

Very clean. Centrally located. Rooms bright and airy. Bunch bed style.
Towels are 300 yen. And then there is 200 yen per day tax. Did not see this info on booking page.

Jam is wonderful! I have stayed there a few times, and would absolutely go back. The owners are incredibly friendly and kind, with great English.

I stayed at Motonago with a friend for 4 days, and the overall experience was meh. While the location is great, the room is kind of old (and not bc it is an antique house).

Great Grea Great time at Motonago! The staff, the food and the recommendations were amazing and we got welcome tea and sweets when we arrived which was really special. Big rooms and Great facilities.

This would be a 4.5 star review if it was possible. I left 5 stars for the wonderful service and attention to detail of the workers at the Yoshi Ima Ryokan.

The traditional rooms are a once in a lifetime experience, especially with the keseiki dinner served privately in the room.

I had an excelent solo stay at the yuzuya ryokan. The location is awesome, right next to Yasaka Shrine. It is still quiet inside the ryokan, though.

This hotel was a great experience and immersive in the Japanese culture. My boyfriend and I felt the staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and kind. They went above and beyond expectations.

If you want to experience traditional Japanese room and service then book this hotel. But I recommend staying for just 1 night. I feel like the room needs some cleaning and updating.

The location, staff, atmosphere, experiences were all exceptional.
We had a sukiyaki dinner in our room one night. It was delicious and unforgettable.

There is not enough room to sing the praises of this place. The staff was attentive and forgiving (of the dumb Americans making an effort), and the food was amazing.

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.

If you don’t mind something a little more quaint, it’s very cozy and the price is unbeatable especially for the location which is outstanding.

Great Inn to stay at when in Kyoto.
Location is perfect, being at walking distance to most of the most important spots in Kyoto.
The host is awesome, cheerful and very helpfull in general.

Beds are really comfy and spacious, nice black out curtains and clean. Small lock boxes at the entrance and they give you storage if you want to buy groceries.

Haven't been in hostels in a while as there not as common in japan as in other country traveled in.
Dormitory was great big bed usb plug and lights curtains on the bed side.

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.

Yuko was very helpful and spoke great English. So getting settled in was a breeze. Also very helpful giving directions and a quick run down of everything the neighborhood had to offer.

Yuko-san was kind, knowledgeable and made herself very available for questions. Very friendly and perfect English.

Lovely place with charming old ladies running it. Their English is not great but somehow you manage to understand them. Curfew at 23:00 and closed until 07:00.

A lovely Royokan just off the main strip in Kyoto, super close to nishiki market. The lady that runs it is super nice and helpful.

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 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.

Our experience was simply wonderful.

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

This hotel is for those that want a more traditional elegant Japanese experience. Our room was large with a sitting area with complementary sake and a few beers in the refrigerator.

What a lovely stay, super service and a peaceful Ryokan in the heart of Kyoto. Rooms have all the amenities you need. You can book your own onsen bath for extra relaxation.

I have to say that I don't know the low review. It's a very good place. Food is great, service is great. It's very spacious.
Price range is also normal.
I had a very good experience these 3 days.

We had a wonderful stay at this ryokan and would absolutely recommend it. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome and took the time to show us around and explain everything.

We stayed at the Kaikoan for four nights and we absolutely loved it!
When we arrived we were greeted by Sumi-san and Chie who made us feel very welcome.

Couldn’t recommend Kaikoan enough. The hosts were so lovely and helpful.
