However, it is shared bath so expect to be comfortably naked around others. The only gripe is the shared laundry machine with the neighbouring building ##### Carlos Fernando Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara 27 Jul 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 #### Anitza 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay.

The staff were helpful to provide with bakery recommendations and maps. ##### Anitza Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco 12 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome ryokan!

I had never stayed in a traditional ryokan before, but the room, meals, and service here far surpassed my expectations. The room was very clean and I got the best night’s sleep of my life. The history of the hotel is also neat. I would recommend getting the breakfast and dinner at least once during your stay. ##### Taylor Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Zoha 9 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, great service. ##### Zoha Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanna 29 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel staff was very accommodating in storing our luggage before our checkout time. ##### Vanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Public bath! ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristine 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfection in Kyoto Fantastic!

Cheers! ##### Kristoffer Tom Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eriks 8 Apr 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 19 Apr 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 30 Mar 2024 Disliked: Amenities Thank hotel’s staff since they were very friendly and nice. However the facility is not too clean.

Housekeeping come morning and evening to set up our room Hotel has only total of 2 washers/dryers.. hard to get turn washing/drying your clothes. 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 8 Apr 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 14 Oct 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [KOKO HOTEL Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Wing-International-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h25174226.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel tou nishinotoin kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Tou-Nishinotoin-Kyoto.h57158032.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Richmond-Hotel-Premier-Kyoto-Ekimae.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Styles Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Kyoto-Shijo.h73068780.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY Hachi Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hachi-Inn.h32949352.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Asai-Kyoto-Shijo-Hotel.h93073540.Hotel-Information) > > [sequence KYOTO GOJO](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Sequence-KYOTO-GOJO.h46304712.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [THE THOUSAND KYOTO](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Thousand-Kyoto.h29393917.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [ANA Crowne Plaza Kyoto by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-ANA-Crowne-Plaza-Kyoto.h16384.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanco Inn Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Sanco-Inn-Kyoto-Hachijoguchi.h37752048.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Rinn Gion Kenninji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Rinn-Gion-Kenninji.h27748251.Hotel-Information) ---
