Will definitely come back if I have the chance! ##### Luya Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonal 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel, the staff, the service, the location and the food options within the hotel are all excellent. Wendy and the team went over and above to make us feel welcome. All the team have excellent knowledge of Kyoto and the local area. All their recommendations were excellent! Highly recommend Sowaka if you want the perfect stay in Kyoto with a personalised service from a top class boutique hotel. ##### Sonal Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was amazing. The staff, the service, the smell of the old cedar wood, the room! It is the perfect balance of old Japanese ryokan but with modern comforts. Every evening, they left a little gift during turn down, a Japanese sweet, a little local craft, such a nice touch. The location could not be better. Loved it! ##### Jacqueline Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 7 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Five Stars ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megumi 19 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was the 3rd time I stayed at Sowaka. Very convenient location and a beautiful old town part of Kyoto. Yet, you can walk to major shopping areas in a few minutes. All the rooms are different and unique. ##### Megumi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 6 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in a beautiful suite in the old part of this lovely hotel, which was a restaurant long ago. Our rooms looked out on an internal garden. We enjoyed two breakfasts and a wonderful dinner in the restaurant. One highlight was the traditional Japanese wooden tub in the bath--and of course, a lovely Toto toilet with heated seat, as are present throughout Japan. ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.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) > > [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) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.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) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information)
