Yadoya Nishijinso

The room was clean and comfortable, what you would expect from a traditional ryokan. The soaking tub and toilets were great, but located downstairs. There were no handrails on the stairs and they were quite steep. Staff did not help with bags.

There is no restaurants, cafe, and subway stations around the inn. The stair to the 2nd floor is to strap and I had to carry my big luggage. The room is so cold and noisy. The worst thing is there is only one shared rest room in the 2nd floor. The rest room is smaller than the flight rest room. I strongly recommend to find another one.

stay away from this ryokan! it's so gross. there's mosquitoes everywhere, dirty walls and floors. a shower system that's more like a hostel environment than the amount we paid for the stay. don't waste your time or money!

The room was thoughtfully designed and the property is beautiful. If you happen to forget any toiletries, there are plenty provided. The owner was very kind and he provided precise recommendations for transit. He also provided us with a map of Kyoto as well as a general guidebook for tourists. I absolutely recommended this location for your next stay in Kyoto.

The host is very welcoming and enthusiastic to share places around. This is a traditional Japanese style living on tatami and Japanese futon along with a shared public bath. You will have the best rest sleeping on those futon in this quiet neighborhood. 7-11, Daiso, coin laundry and buses to major attractions are all within 5min of walk.

It was ver pleasant to stay in a Japanese style house. The host and hostess were very helpful

Host spoke good english so very foreign friendly. Very traditional stay with traditional values

Great for what it is, a traditional ryokan. Most Westerners may not like the shared restroom and showers, however.

Place was awesome! Owners were so nice and made our stay so easy.

Our hosts were very gracious and the property was clean and quiet. Highly recommend. Also helps to support local businesses while you travel.

I came to this little Ryokan with high hope and ended up very disappointed therefore left 2days ahead of check out date . Firstly. This is a very old house fallen into disrepair. You can hear anyone doing anything in it. Oh. Btw, there are six rooms in this property and all in the same floor. It is a shady, dilapidated， small wooden Japanese house . Given that there are only two people serving in this property. That’s The 70s owner and his wife. So you know what to expect, folks. They are the rudest Japanese I’ve ever met in my whole life. After I reported the noise and the bed bug issues that I had fromstaying, the owner appeared to be very aggressively defensive. He wouldn’t had listened to my words but simply pissed me off. Huh? I paid for the room and you showed me no hospitality but hostility? Last but not least. The hygiene conditions are seriously slacking . You have to share the unisex bathtub with ALL GUESTS. With the water reused. This might be acceptable for Japanese family, but definitely not for any customer. IT’S GROSS AND TRANSMISSIBLE. Not to mention they use the kettle was made in 2005, hairdryer from last century, etc,. I believe they seriously need some measurements to keep the mosquitoes, even bed bugs away from the property. As some other reviewers advised, the position is odd and isolated. It is located in a residential neighborhood, with no much things to do nearby. I am writing this review with honesty.

I like how I Had to learn Japanese culture of putting on slippers before entering the facility and my experience of just being in a traditional Ryokin was worth my experience being in Japan

Ambience of the hotel, cleanliness of the room, great facilities nearby

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely Onsen in Kyoto. This Onsen is a traditional Japanese-style residence, complete with a picturesque garden, a hot soaking bath and the like. If you have not stayed at an Onsen, be aware that it is different than your traditional Western-style hotel. First off, you are required to take off your shoes upon entry (the entry itself is lovely) and wear slippers while inside. There are only a handful of rooms, and bathrooms and showers are shared among the occupants. You must schedule your shower/bath with the front desk attendant as well. If you get the Japanese-style room, there are no beds, as sleeping is done with a mat on the floor although they do have some rooms with Western-style beds too. The couple that runs the Onsen are very friendly and accommodating, speak English and will gladly help you get acquainted with the traditions of the Onsen as well as recommend places to eat and drink. If you are looking for an immersion into traditional accommodations and are open and respectful towards new experiences, I highly recommend staying here.

Great hosts at a very calm and relaxing place.

We had an amazing stay! The hotel is run by a lovely couple, who took great care of us. The hotel is beautiful, and extremely relaxing. This is my favourite hotel I have ever stayed in, and I would love to come back!

Un exellent sejour a Kyoto, notre Hôte était aux petits soins et maitrisait parfaitement l'anglais. 10/10

Had a nice stay and the couple who owns the place were really nice and always helped us to plan how to get around to our daily activities.

주인분이 굉장히 친절하십니다. 물도 따뜻하구요

京都市内、街なかで静かに自分の時間をつくりたい人にはおすすめ。気の合う人と、少人数で、ゆっくり自分たちに合ったプランで、日常からちょっと気分転換したい、そんな願望が、叶うはず。
