Wondeful traditional experience

We loved our stay at the Wakamiya Ryokan! It was only a very short walk from the train station (perhaps 5 minutes) and within walking distance to many of the temples and other tourist destinations (about 15 - 20 minutes walk from the Nishiki shopping area). We hired bikes from the shop down the street and were able to explore the area very easily. The staff are very helpful and the room comfortable (small but cosy). We had a great view of the Kyoto Tower from our room. There is some traffic noise but nothing that kept us awake. There are heaps of amazing little restaurants along the street for plenty of traditional dinner options.

While there are many Ryokan in/around Kyoto, Wakamiya is centrally located near Kyoto station and is situated in an easy to access area for both trains (Kyoto station) as well as buses passing by to many of the famous temples/shrines/attractions.

老式飯店，設備較舊但是很乾淨，櫃台很親切。距離京都車站非常近，有超市。希望設施新穎亮麗的話不適合住此。

Convenient to train station. Ryokan was like stepping into Japan of 30+ years ago. Quaint, simple, authentic, clean and reasonably priced. Plus delicious and exquisite Japanese breakfast!

Expedia said the children would stay for free. We checked in and were charged $90 PER child. More than we paid on Expedia. Room smelled like cigarette smoke.

你的不二之選

旅館離京都車站只有5分鐘的路程，非常方便。旅館職員亦很有禮貌，每日定點有職員會親臨房間鋪設日式布團。頂樓有公共浴室，雖然面積較小，但通常都沒人用，讓你可獨享整個浴室。

Ryokan bien ubicado

La estancia como ryokan estuvo normal frente a otros ryokan que están ubicados en pueblo y no en pleno centro de la ciudad ( se nota mucho la diferencia en los detalles del trato). No le vendría mal una reforma ya que es bastante antiguo.

A very warm reception in Kyoto

The male manager and the room attendants are very warm, attentive and helpful. They helped us get directions right, gave us tea upon arriving and attended to our needs. Very good genuine ryokan experience all in all.

staff are nice but can not speak English

it will be a great hotel if you speak Japanese. In all the service is nice but I am not happy that my brand new tooth brush had been thrown away and I can not even ask for an explain from hotel cause they can not understand what I was saying at all.

Great location close to Kyoto Station, Japan-Style

Loved this hotel. Althou it's not top notch quality but for the price we paid, we experienced Japanese style room, a spa, great service. There's snacks when we return and hot water in the room, tatami bed made up. Loved it. Plenty of places to eat around the place and close to Kyoto station about 5 mins walk which is very convenient consider we travel around a lot to see temples and also trip to Nara.

Wakamiya

The only downside is the fact that none of the employees can speak English. They can speak only a few words so if you need their help to have a reservation made or to purchase tickets for a show you are out of luck.
