The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu - a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World-

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.35km from Entoku-in
We stayed here for two nights from October 5-7 and have no complaints about the service and care we received. This is renovated primary school, but you wouldn't know it from how it has been remodeled. Though we did like the wide stairways with wooden bannisters that retained a little of the ”school” feel. The overall atmosphere of the hotel and its grounds is very calming; a nice oasis from the bustle of the city. The room was a good size with very good amenities that made the stay convenient and comfortable. The in-room bar was complimentary and restocked daily. We also had access to the lounge which had free flowing snacks and beverages throughout the day. It was nice to sit next to the window with a warm beverage or a glass of wine after a long day of trekking across the city. We ate in the city, but also made a point to try all of the places to eat in the hotel. We had breakfast on the outside terrace of the main restaurant. The ”well-being” breakfast was healthy and hearty; very filling. We liked that the breakfast was ”by order” rather than buffet. Buffets can be tiring when you just want to sit comfortably on a terrace, enjoying the morning with a cup of coffee. We had one dinner at Benoit, the French restaurant. We tried three mains as part of two set meals we ordered: Sea Bass, Lobster, and Pork Loin. All were done very well. For a late supper, we had a steak on the Rooftop Lounge. The chef himself, strongly suggested I order a different wine with the steak as he felt it complimented it better. It was actually a cheaper wine than I had ordered, so I appreciated that it was a true recommendation. We followed dinner with cocktails in the bar, where the bartender apparently is rather well-known in Kyoto. He certainly had admirers watching him as he made the drinks. The hotel general staff and concierge were all very helpful, helping us reserve cars and check to make sure that our destinations were convenient for our purposes. They also follow-up with us to see if what they had suggested worked out. The only suggestion is to make sure that you leave plenty of time for arriving and leaving. The hotel is right in the middle of a major tourist area. There are many temples in the area, and the streets are lined with tea houses, places to eat or buy souvenirs, and places just to discover or wander about. So depending on the time of day, the traffic can be very congested. That said, from the hotel it's only a 20-minute walk to Nishiki market and the areas around it. Overall, an excellent stay. We would definitely consider the hotel again for any future trip we might have to Kyoto.

CHION-IN WAJUN-KAIKAN

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.49km from Entoku-in
This wonderful place is nothing like the rustic version we stayed at in Yudenaka. It is more like an upscale boutiqe hotel. Only 3 floors, but very well kept. Our room was one of the largest we experienced during the 2 weeks we were in Japan. We chose to decline the meal package as we expected we would be out during the dinner time, and did not want to commit to breakfast, as my wife is a very fussy eater. A public bath for men and a bath for women is located in the basement. Exceptionally clean and properly set up in the shower area and bath area,. I chose to take advantage of the bath each evening. It is so incredibly relaxing. The bath is not heated by thermal springs but whatever they use to heat the building. The front desk staff could not be more helpful during our stay. When a snowstorm hit Kyoto, it meant the shipping company that we chose to forward our large suitcases was no longer viable since the company cancelled all trips that day. When we got up the next morning we discovered that the taxi cab companies were not answering the phones that morning(due to snow and ice). The front desk looked at my wife and I with 4 suitcases, my cane and walker and somehow just knew that we couldnt possibly get to the Kyoto station using public transit. The tall, thin gentleman behind the desk, went outside and ran at his fastest speed, 3 blocks to find a idle taxi, ran back to us, still checking out, took all of our luggage outside to the waiting taxi, assisted with the loading, ensuring that we were safely inside and on our way before he went back inside, hopefully to have a well earned cup of tea. The service is outstanding, the meal to my eyes looked incredible. The rooms have ample space for luggage, fully stocked bathrooms, Yukatas for wearing to the bath and 2 bottles of water daily. They also include a small refrigerator. If I should be so fortunate to visit Japan again in my lifetime, this will be my must stay hotel. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH CHION-IN WAJUN KAIKAN!!! EXCELLENT STAFF AND OUTSTANING SERVICE. THANK YOU SO MJCH FOR HELPING MAKE THIS DREAM VACATION SO SPECIAL!!!

Ryokan Motonago

Higashiyama Kyoto|0.12km from Entoku-in
Yuan Naigu’s Kyoto cuisine is three-star Michelin~ It's really a very satisfying Japanese experience with one night and two meals. Before I traveled, I wanted to experience a traditional ryokan, so I really did my homework. I wanted to live in Yachiyo. However, when I traveled during the peak period, the price rose to an outrageous level. I was looking for it. By coincidence, I found Yuan Naigu. Although Ctrip's diamond level is not high and the reviews are poor, it really exceeded expectations. The location is not to mention~ the scenic spot...the distance you can walk with your legs...anywhere is close... Although there is no private bath, you can make an appointment for the bath time. During that time, you will only have you~ You can check in at 4pm, but you can store your luggage in advance (will wipe your luggage clean). Although the uncle who helped us check in is not standard enough in English, he only needs some basic English and communicates. Completely proper. We will confirm with you in advance the time for dinner, bathing, breakfast the next day and morning bath (if you need it). In the room, there is no way to take a bath, only the sink and toilet, so if you need a bath, you must check the time~ this time the bath is completely yours. The service is very good (traditional Japanese kneeling service), everyone is very kind (there are few young people, all of whom are uncles and aunts), especially the aunt who was in charge of our Beijing cooking that night. She enthusiastically helped me and my husband to take a photo. , I also sent a beautiful postcard when I checked out and left. If you want to take a photo in front of the hotel, there will be very caring staff to help you ”stop” the guests entering and leaving the hotel, and help you take a beautiful photo~~It's really heartwarming. As for their cooking. If you want to experience one night and two food, Yuan Naigu really won't let you down. The level of Michelin three-star, good-looking, delicious and good shooting~ I want to experience it again with the reviews~ I really miss the very warm bed and the warmth on the pillow Heart thousand paper cranes. My husband also said that next time we come, we will stay here again~~It's really great~ Let a person who doesn't write very much reviews so much~~ The only downside is: check out at ten o’clock~~ I really want to stay a little longer~~~ There are too many pictures, everyone will take a look.

This place is INCREDIBLE! I have no other words for it other than the most pleasant stay I could ever imagine having at a traditional Japanese ryoken. We opted for daily traditional kaseki breakfasts that were served in our room with tea and coffee, would sit at the bar and chat with the staff and sample their great Japanese whiskey collection, enjoyed our beautiful spa-like bathroom with private onsen, heated floors, temperature controlled shower area, and beds so comfy, you couldn't help but fall asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow. The staff were incredibly amazing and very quick to handle any needs we had—and they were SO friendly! We had several great and long conversations with them that they felt like friends more than hotel staff. The location was great too because you were a short walk to several temples, popular tourist sites and great food but was secluded enough that you felt like you could relax and detox from the chaos of other large cities in Japan. This was one of the best experiences during our 12-day stay in Japan. I highly highly recommend. One piece of information that might be helpful, the entrance can be difficult to find but the property will message specific instructions to show the taxi drivers so whether they know English or not, they'll be able to get you close to the entrance. Once dropped off, it's just a short walk to the entrance. But trust me, it's worth the search.

Very pleasant inn. The boss is super handsome, the most handsome Japanese man I have ever seen on this trip🇯🇵 The house as a whole is very, very warm, the details of the rooms are still a bit short, and the overall style is already very good. like. The location is also very good and the center of the scenic area, the price/performance ratio is really too high!

Very pleased with the level of care put into this hostel. All rooms are extremely clean, and the beds are comfortable and quiet. Despite the rooms holding up to around 15-20 people, it is extremely quiet and the bed pods are dark. Shower area was extremely clean and we were provided fresh towels every day. There is a comfortable sitting area with free coffee and access to Netflix. We had a very comfortable stay here and I would come back !
