It was a fantastic stay. The staff were supper friendly. The served breakfast and dinner were not only delicious but also looked great in the presentation. The location of the property is excellent. Nishiki Market, Kawaramachi Street, Pontocho Alley are all within minutes of walking distance. I would recommend anyone who would like to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan. ##### Chaojing Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonah Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our stay, staff were very friendly and accomodating.

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. ##### Grace Pei Lin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gloria Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Matsui Honkan was truly unforgettable—one of the most special experiences we had in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived early to drop off our bags, the staff treated us with such kindness. We were welcomed with cool towels and paddle fans—such a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day! When we returned to check in, we were seated in the lobby and served drinks with snacks while the staff explained everything with care—from breakfast service to the onsen. It felt more like a warm welcome than just checking in. One of our favorite surprises? The daily giveaway gifts in cute Japanese drawstring bags. It made us smile every time and showed how much they cared about the little details. Breakfast was a highlight—Kaiseki-style meals delivered to our room each morning, beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The servers were so kind and respectful—it made our mornings feel calm and special. Our room was spacious, clean, and traditionally styled with tatami mats and a private bathroom—perfect for our family of four. We loved wearing the provided yukata and winding down in the public bath, which had separate areas for men and women. The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back! ##### Gloria Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### NAWAEL Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### NAWAEL Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Great stay! ##### William Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alla Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing property right in the center of the city with very nice and attentive cheerful personal sharing tradinal Japanese way of living and food. ##### Alla Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### severine Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Incredible experience.

Proper old style japan experience ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jorge Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Es un ryokan muy cómodo. cerca del centro pero en un lugar con muy tranquilo. se puede llegar caminando al centro sin problema. El onsen está muy limpio. las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas (para el estándar japonés). El personal, si no tienes ningún problema, son muy amables, pero nosotros tuvimos un problema en la reserva. En nuestra reserva ponía una cosa y en la suya otra y fueron bastante groseros, casi como insinuando que nos queríamos colar. Muy mala experiencia en ese aspecto. Cuando se dieron cuenta de que no tenían razón, no hubo ni un lo siento, ni una disculpa. Pero por lo demás, el ryokan está muy bien. ##### Jorge Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Vischio-Kyoto-By-GRANVIA.h30990875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Kyoto.h1406680.Hotel-Information) > > [Sakura Terrace The Gallery](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sakura-Terrace-The-Gallery.h9795712.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nohga-Hotel-Kiyomizu-Kyoto.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [THE BLOSSOM KYOTO ](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-BLOSSOM-KYOTO.h76497805.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL M’s EST KYOTO STATION SOUTH](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-Ms-EST-KYOTO-STATION-SOUTH.h23513455.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Kyoto.h37609460.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-RICHMOND-HOTEL-PREMIER-KYOTO-EKIMAE.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-KEIO-PRELIA-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMA-GOJO.h26692179.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel M’s Plus Shijo - Omiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ms-Plus-Shijo-Omiya.h16621109.Hotel-Information) > > [Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Miyako-Hotel-Kyoto-Hachijo.h26999.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Canvas-Kyoto-Nijo.h59440545.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Brighton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Brighton-Hotel.h919.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Mitsui-Kyoto.h57209082.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Momijiya Bekkan Kawanoiori](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Momijiya-Bekkan-Kawanoiori.h15431581.Hotel-Information)
