SPA Hotels in Kyoto near Old Rissei Elementary School

This hotel is truly amazing. The hospitality here is perfect. The staff super friendly, everything was cleaned, the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, hotel location for me was good too.

Stayed here for 3 nights and was very happy with the overall experience. The hotel room is beautifully designed, and the toilet came with a jacuzzi tub as well which was an unexpected surprise.

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.

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.

I have nothing but praise for this hotel. My friend got very sick right before we had to leave.

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

So happy with the stay, two large double beds for a fantastic price. Quite sizeable as bathroom and bedroom have a joining little hall.

I stayed here, mid November for 6 nights. It was wonderful. Due to jetlag I had to check in a day late. I notified the hotel staff via email and they were very understanding and responsive.

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!

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.

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.

We had 4 nights at this hotel and found it very comfortable. Great location within 5 minutes of the covered market streets and Nishiki market.

Well situated: near the famous market, great restaurants in the area and not far to a metro station to get to the shrines and temples on the eastern side of Kyoto.

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.

Stayed here for only a night. The room was spacious and it was my first time staying in a traditional room. Fit 4 people into one room. Also my first experience in onsen.

A brilliant location, just a short walk from the station, and the heart of Kyoto and Gion.
I particularly loved the Onsen here.

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.

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.

First time traveling to Japan, we found out this place to practice traditional Japanese archery. Really kind people working in there and amazingly friendly people.

The location is great. Literally on the street with many stores, restaurants and activities.
The room is large, no huge. It has both a traditional living room with tatami and a modern living room.

Typical Japanese experience. The room is spacious, we slept on the tatames/futons which the staff makes for you. And kudos to the staff that are beyond helpful and gentle.

It was good to experience a Japanese ryokan. The room was fairly big as compared to other Japanese hotels we stayed in. The Wi-Fi was very bad in the rooms though.

Fantastic experience staying at this traditional ryokan just down the road from the iconic Kiyomizu Dera.

Had a super nice first ryokan experience here!

I LOVED my stay here. The staff was so kind and always did their best to communicate with me even though I don’t speak Japanese. They even showed me the proper way to enjoy my meals.

Clean, quiet, stylish in the center of Gion and everything is within walking distance. The staff was very helpful and respond via the chat almost instantly.

I had a really lovely stay here, the place feels super peaceful and traditional.
It’s in the heart of Gion however it is very quiet and private. Perfect if you want.

Ayame-an was the perfect home base for our time in Kyoto! We felt centrally located to the touristy walking area and the trains to get farther afield, yet the block was super quiet and felt homey.

This place was very special. The staff was so nice and flexible, we could also check out later than usual after we arranged with them.
The place is so nice, much better than most hotels.
