This hotels maintains a local vibe and look which I appreciated for my first stay at Kyoto. The breakfast was amazing! Great options and delicious The rooms have great space and traditional look. The futons where comfortable enough to sleep well and I like how organize and label everything was. There was a humidifier in room, a nice touch. The staff were helpful to provide with bakery recommendations and maps. ##### Anitza Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstan L Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The ryokan hotel is OUTSTANDING.

Misunderstanding with the parking as it is advertised as free on Expedia and instead we were asked for payment (that we refused to pay…) ##### Pier 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was an awesome place to stay.

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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Fionne Mar 30, 2024 Disliked: Amenities Thank hotel’s staff since they were very friendly and nice.

Hallways smells smoke.. not sure if they allow smoking in the room Overall, great stay! ##### Joycelyn Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you are looking for a true experience of Japanese culture you pick this hotel right now. But do remember to make some research about Japanese lifestyle in a washitsu room before coming ;) Staff all speak good English. Very helpful and polite. Price stable throughout the year and the room size is just ideal compared with the 12-15sqm rooms offer by other hotels in the similar area at a similar price. Close to subway and bus stations, traffic is good, some tourist sites like the Royal Garden and Nijo Cho are even within walking distance. Close to Sanjo and Gion too. Nonetheless very quite since it's not right next to the mainstreet. There is a FamilyMart 2min's walk away. Room facility: appliances are new and are not cheap ones, furniture is older but in perfect condition. ##### Shelby Stayed 6 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leo Apr 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice area if u wanna relax but a bit far from most places ##### Leo Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco May 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome ryokan!
