"Wow - we have just checked out from a 1 night stay at this Yoshida Sanso and we were truly amazed at both the place itself and even more so the lovely people that looked after us so well! We are celebrating our honeymoon in Japan and the family who run the Ryokan couldn’t have done more to make our stay a more memorable one! Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful and authentic Ryokan experience! ❤️"

"The Lund House is a small simplistic hostel in a nice and quiet part of town. It is still easily accessible, however, with the closest bus being line 17 or 206 (Summer 2018). The Lund House is very small and compact, but as long as you have pleasant roommates the place feels like a wonderful home. I would gladly stay here again. And at their listed price you can't beat it!"

"The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, they kindly allowed me to practice my bad Japanese but they also spoke some English, so it was easy to communicate. As I was leaving they gave me a little origami pig as a good luck charm - very sweet. I was in a mixed shared room which was very clean and comfortable. The facilities were great, with showers, a laundry room and a private bathtub which you could rent for an additional ¥300. The hostel is conveniently located near to many shrines...

"This is a traditional ryokan, and my second stay. First time was back in 2016 by myself. This time came here to stay with my wife. Bery friendly staff. I had a much better experience first time around, two ladies came and showed me how to change into a yukata and prepared my bed. Everything was more personal, this time they were a little busy. Too many guests. Still amazing experience. You can reserve the onsen for yourself privately. The dinner experience is a little expensive but worth it. "

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

5/5 Excellent
"Fantastic hotel! 4-star rated but more of a 4.5 star. The entrance to the hotel immediately conveyed upscale. Hotel is located directly across the street from the hub of Kyoto Station. Tons of shopping! Our view from our 9th floor room allowed us to see the bullet trains arriving and departing from the station. Impressive! When we arrived, despite there being a staffed front desk, there was a lineup of arriving guests to an advanced check-in kiosk system which was organized. And there were English-speaking attendants there ready to assist if after a long flight we could not figure it out. We paid a hotel local tax fee of an additional 1500 Yens (reasonable), though we had paid for our stay in full with Expedia. Expedia had noted that there maybe a local hotel fee, so we were aware but was not sure how much it would be. That was for two of us and for a 4-night stay. As we finished our check-in process through the kiosk, a porter arrived and offered to take our luggage to our room, took a copy of our room key and lead us to the elevator, where he showed us how to use the key to allow for the elevator floor button selection. Took us to our room where he entered first to ensure that all was in order. Then indicated for us to enter (we arrived for their standard early 2pm check-in, so it was bright and the drapes were open). Bright, very modern and cheerful decor, and then the amazing view of the cityscape, including that of the bullet (shinkansen) train. Great stay!!"
