Superb service. Convenient location (close to nishiki market, hankyu line stations, Gion area, Shijo karamachi etc)
Xiaodong, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Basic ryokan situated in the heart of Kyoto, perfect location with lots around. However, the room was not the cleanest. We found a messy, unfolded duvet thrown in the closet and a few strands of hair in the bedding. Assuming the duvet was used by the previous guest and not folded by housekeeping after guests checked out.

A Must
Amazing hotel, warm staff, a great way to enrich yourself with Japanese customs. Had the breakfast each morning. It was fresh, presented beautifully & a fun treat. Kyoto is so lovely, this hotel was perfect walking distance to many shops & restaurants. Highly recommend.

Lovely Ryokan hotel. We spent 2 nights and could enjoy great and unforgettable experiences. Room with Tatami floor was spacious and clean and we had slept perfectly well. Hotel staff was lovely and friendly. Thank you very much. Food was brilliant. Hot bathroom in the basement used to refresh and relax. Great location to discover Kyoto. We were totally happy for such fantastic experience.

Very traditional ryokan. Futons and low tables. If you are there for a couple of nights its fine. Not much storage space if you need to unpack. Staff are lovely and friendly and helpful. Proper old style japan experience
Paul, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Probably one of my best hospitality experiences ever. The service was excellent and the room was bigger than I thought, as well as very clean. They prepared some small care packages for every guest of our group with hygiene and care products, which i thought very thoughtful. Our room had extra blankets and pillows, which was practical. The breakfast is beyond amazing - as beautiful as it is delicious. The only thing is regret is that although we turned off the heating system, the room was still very hot and dry during the night (outside was cold), to the point that we had trouble sleeping.

Accueil extraordinaire! Chambre de type japonaise très confortable pour une famille de quatre. Déjeuners incroyables servis à la chambre. Nous avons profité de la proximité du quartier de Gion où nous sommes allés tous les jours à pied. Également à deux pas du marché Nishiki. Nous avons hâte à notre prochain séjour au Matsui Honkan!

房間大， 整潔， 早晚餐豐富， 職員十分有禮， 住了兩個晩上， 非常享受。 唯一溫泉比較少， 幸好每次也不超過4 人； 另外比較適合自駕人士，但旅館沒有停車場， 要泊在隔離的停車場， JPY1900 24 小時， 划算。
