    traditional breakfast
    clean room
    relaxing onsen
    limited natural light
    costly room

    Took a brief stay while exploring the nearby attractions like the Kyoto Tower and Nishiki Market. The traditional Japanese breakfast served in-room was absolutely delightful, showcasing an array of beautifully arranged dishes. Additionally, the onsen offered a relaxing retreat after a day of sightseeing. Though the room had limited natural light, it was still clean and comfortable, making it a perfect place to unwind.

    delightful onsen
    limited luggage storage

    The onsen was a delightful surprise, providing a

    perfect place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The traditional Japanese breakfast served in-room was a culinary treat, complete with carefully arranged dishes. However, luggage storage options were limited, making it challenging for us to manage our belongings comfortably.

    unique experience
    early check-out
    limited food

    whole space privacy, accessibility to restaurants, proximity to Kyoto station

    Food offerings lack variety for the price!!! Check-out time of 10 AM feels excessively early!!! A clear warning about additional taxes and the nature of the private bath would be helpful!!!

    outdated bathroom
    plain breakfast

    the staff were friendly, but I didn’t receive the complimentary gestures I deserve for my stay. The breakfast was rather plain and the bathroom outdated, but I suppose that's what I get for staying at a place with such high expectations. I almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t when I realized how overpriced everything was.

    spacious room
    comfy futons
    traditional breakfast
    hard to find
    limited natural light

    I stayed in the Japanese-Style Room for 2 nights and it was spacious enough for my family. The tatami mats felt great and the futons were super comfy for sleeping. Just a heads up, it was a bit hard to find the place at first, but once we got settled, it felt like a cozy sanctuary after our daytime adventures. Plus, the traditional Japanese breakfast was a nice way to start the morning!

    delicious breakfast
    great location

    The staff was phenomenally nice and attentive! The breakfast was a delicious traditional feast, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from Kyoto station and surrounded by eateries.

    Everything was exceptional.

    difficult location
    minor inconvenience

    Fantastic stay at Towa Ryokan! The private bath was amazing, and our Japanese-style room was comfortable and clean. The staff greeted us with matcha tea and even arranged a gluten-free breakfast for me. It felt great being so close to Kyoto Station, with grocery stores just a short walk away.

    Finding the location was a bit tricky.

    onsen

    It was just a prime choice for a short stint in Kyoto with reasonable value. The onsen in the basement was a nice surprise after a long day of sightseeing. Make sure to check breakfast hours, they’re quite early.

    exceptional staff
    traditional breakfast
    cramped room

    great staff but tight for families

    The staff here are truly exceptional, with Nao being a memorable highlight of our stay. The traditional Japanese breakfast was remarkable, offering a variety of options that catered to all tastes. The onsen in the basement was a relaxing escape, especially since it was available when I wanted to use it.

    The Japanese-style room felt a bit cramped for our family of five.
