Loved our tatami room, the impressive and traditional breakfast buffet, and all staff were kind and helpful. Highlight for me was their bathhouse, such a relaxing experience. ##### J Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me and a friend stayed for two nights as we wanted to explore areas of the Kansai region. It was such a nice experience! We didn’t end up trying the public baths, so I can’t comment on that, but the room itself and the futons were great ^^ When I think walkable, it may be different to someone else’s walkable, but transport (bus) is okay to get around— it is pretty busy though so take at your own caution if you have a large suitcase. The area is great! We wish we had more time but from what we walked and visited, it was nice. There’s a gachapon place nearby and multiple drug stores and places to eat. Overall, great experience! And for the price, definitely worth it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/164d498f-7e0b-4163-b723-e3ecf3da71f1-1753577266032.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/696986ce-e162-47a8-a319-730a29be1cb5-1753577288485.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f617e1ea-37f2-4331-b553-a0e0ec7a2f7c-1753577298740.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42363027-22e3-470a-83f7-0772b190b660-1753577326119.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Clara Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Large room in friendly ryokan.

Cheers! ##### Kristoffer Tom Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eriks Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good Japanese room I chose this hotel because it offered a Japanese style room. The room was good, I liked it. Onsen was good, amenities like in any other hotel. The hotel itself is a bit worn out, feels built in the end of 1960-ies and has stayed that way since. I was during the very high sakura season, therefore the hotel was overpriced. ##### Eriks Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Austin Apr 19, 2023 Disliked: Amenities This place did the job, but overall the property and amenities felt quite old and limited. It’s more of a hotel than a standard ryokan, and all in all just felt a little substandard compared to similarly priced Kyoto hotels ##### Austin Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fionne Mar 30, 2024 Disliked: Amenities Thank hotel’s staff since they were very friendly and nice. However the facility is not too clean. Unpleasant smell was found in elevator and hotel toilet room, and toilet is not fully functional. ##### Fionne Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee Oct 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an excellent stay at Ishicho. Our suite had one large room for sleeping and hanging out, a narrow balcony, a toilet room, and a room with a tub and shower. It was very quiet. I had read a few reviews before our stay and had been a little nervous about a few things. I wanted to address some of those things for other people who are considering staying. First, someone had left the review that the staff was not friendly and did not speak English. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, very attentive, and everyone spoke enough English to get things done. The staff was great! Another review said that there was a weird smell in the bathtub. When we first arrived, there was a strange smell in the room with the bath, but we think it is a cleaning product as we smelled it at both the apartment we rented and the hotel we stayed at in Tokyo. It dissipated the first day and the bathtub and shower were very very clean. Some reviews say that it is a bit run down - the facility feels older, but it doesn’t feel like a bad thing; everything is very clean and very well-tended. The futons are a bit thin, which might be uncomfortable if you are not used to sleeping in the floor. The pillows are the usual for Japan - small and flat. I would say that sleeping in Japan in general is less comfortable than sleeping in a hotel elsewhere… so no matter where you stay, you can expect to want a better pillow and a softer bed. ;) The ryokan breakfast is very nice! ##### Aimee Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### 義治 Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 朝食をセットしました 居室と同じ別室でゆっくりいただくことが出来ました。 ##### 義治 Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### laurie May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personnel agréable.
