    This place suits me perfectly, providing free wi-fi, 24-hour security, and air conditioning. I remember how the staff helped me with a room issue even at night. Their friendly demeanor with guests is an added bonus. I’ll definitely return for the new year!

    spacious room
    private bathroom

    would have extended the stay.

    The room was spacious with tatami flooring, had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a bidet. Amenities like a refrigerator, slippers, and yukata were nice touches. The public bath was really clean and refreshing after long walks. Staff were super accommodating, making our stay feel special.

    traditional breakfast
    serene onsen
    cozy leisure area
    strict luggage policy

    Had an absolute blast exploring the authentic experiences here, especially enjoying the traditional Japanese breakfast and relaxing in the serene onsen after long days out. The leisure area was cozy and a perfect spot to unwind with a book. Just a heads up, the luggage storage policy was a bit strict, so plan your checkout times accordingly! 😊

    guest rooms
    community bath
    chlorine smell

    spacious guest rooms, on-site community bath, proximity to public transportation

    The public bath could use some updates to accommodate larger groups!!! Also, the strong smell of chlorine in the men's hot tub was off-putting during our visit.

    cozy atmosphere
    helpful staff
    public bath updates
    limited dining variety
    shared facilities

    The spacious room featured comfortable tatami beds, creating a cozy atmosphere that felt like home. The staff's attentiveness added to the charm, with helpful conversations that made us feel welcome. The location was excellent, just a short walk to Gion. Breakfast offered a delightful variety of small plates, showcasing local flavors, but the public bath facilities could use some updates for better convenience.

    friendly staff
    spacious rooms
    convenient location
    midnight curfew

    We had a great time! The staff was super friendly, and the convenient location near some lesser-known spots made our trip unique. We walked to Gion and enjoyed nearby eateries. The rooms were spacious and the onsen experience was refreshing. Don't miss the traditional breakfast!

    However, we found the curfew at midnight stressful. I lost track of time and couldn't get a hold of them, so I worried about being locked out.

    local sweets

    Just an appropriate option for a quick weekend visit in Kyoto with extraordinarily good value for money. We enjoyed the delightful local sweets provided daily, which added a nice touch to our stay. Make sure to ask the staff for the best public transport routes to the major sights.

    small bath

    my stay at ryokan sawaya honten was fantastic! having visited kyoto before, this place totally exceeded my expectations with its charming traditional vibe and friendly staff. i loved the hot baths after long days exploring the city.

    the public bath was quite small.
