This was the last leg of our 8 day trip to Japan and Wayfarer didn’t disappoint. Checking was easy, all the staff was very courteous and helpful. The room we stayed at was modern and had the perfect touches for a pleasant experience. The hotel is conveniently located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, within walking distance from the Nishiki Market (15 min walk). Highly recommend.

Great location, quick walk to the metro and only a few stops to Kyoto Station. Bus stop right outside. Hotel allowed us to check in a little bit early as the room was ready which was appreciated. Check in using an ipad, staff on reception spoke immaculate english. Bed was very hard and only one pillow which was flat and not your normal pillow - more of a mesh filling. Needed some silicone round bath as shower water goes straight down side of bath. Only one bottle of water in room when arrive, after that need to buy your own if need any.

The check in after hours is not easy. Last service person leaves at 11p (23:00). I had to download an app and process my passports. Not a fun process after walking 30k steps. Other than that no complaints. Great location, nice staff, good size rooms, & clean.

We got a very spacious room with 5 individual beds. The room is very nicely designed with two sleeping areas, a separate office corner with full privacy, and a little living area. My kids absolutely love it. It's the best hotel room we stayed during our Japan trip.

The rooms are very small. We had a four person room and there was no space for our luggage. The photos are deceiving. The staff is rude and not interested in helping their guests. There are far too many hotels in Kyoto to settle for this one. We won’t be staying here again.

The location of this hotel was amazing, but the hotel itself was somewhat lacking. There seems to be very limited soundproofing between rooms, so you have hear others’ conversations/loud footsteps above you. The tatami beds were also quite uncomfortable.

Great place to stay with public transit (bus stop) right in front of the building. Convenience stores within a five mins walk and main attractions within 15-20 mins walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable and comes with fridge and kettle. Private shower/tub combo with bidet. Room also had a balcony, which was a nice bonus feature. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

It was an oasis in the desert for us after traveling for 22 hours, arriving at 8 pm, to find that the woman at the front desk was not only extremely kind and friendly, but also spoke English. I’m also extra grateful, because due to my own mistake, I had to make two separate bookings. I wasn’t looking forward to attempting to explain the situation after traveling for so long, so I was deeply grateful when I got there and they had not only noticed the problem ahead of time, but had also resolved it for me before I ever arrived. It was an excellent place to stay on top of that. The room was a lovely mix of traditional and modern, and it was in convenient walking distance of many food options, Kyoto Station, and the Kyoto Pokémon Center. If I ever come back to Kyoto, this is absolutely where I’ll stay again.

The Wayfarer was the perfect base to travel from and very clean and spacious. I could have spent my whole trip just relaxing in the space! The staff were also foreigner friendly and very knowledgeable and kind. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Only issue we had on our stay was that there were doing construction work near by. We could hear the jackhammer that was incredibly loud and shock the apartment from 8am to 5pm. Everything else was great.

We had a sick kid and wanted to check in ahead. It is often hard with Japanese establishments but not with this hotel 🛏️! They let me check in without any hesitation but with a smile 😊 The room was huge and comfy. The staff are super nice with multilingual skills. Family Mart is nearby for your breakfast and Toto Stand is must if you love Uni! This will be my home in Kyoto for the next trip.

Very loud hotel, lot's of noise from other rooms, flushing etc and can hear everything from the corridors. Extremely hard bed! Feels like it is just built which i guess is good but felt very sterile. The restaurant next door is amazing though! Not the hotel but well worth visiting.
