Amazing traditional accommodation. The onsen on site is nice, tattoo friendly! Make sure to have dinner there as there is plenty to choose from and great value. We had a massage done on site and it was one of the best ones we’ve ever had. Highly recommend

A traditional Japanese 'O fulu' bath hotel, you can experience the typical tatami style room and enjoy the public indoor and outdoor public bath. Only problem is the location, a bit far from the transpotation, you might need to call uber every time going out.

The Ryokan was a very good experience. The property was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very kind and helpful at all times. The only negative I see is the lack of action in the area. We had to take the train back to Kyoto Station to go somewhere else to eat or do something fun. Overall a great place to stay!!

Amazing public bath house incorporated into the Ryokan! We were a family of 4 (w/ 10yr and 13yr old) and the room was big enough for us to move around. The ryokan is clean with very friendly staff. It’s an 8 minute walk to the nearest train station with easy access to Nijo Castle and the bamboo forest areas.

This was our first time staying at a ryokan. We did like the onsen and onsite massage. The dinner we ate in the restaurant was also delicious. Our room was lovely, but the futons are very difficult to get used to compared to a western style mattress. It was quite a bit of a walk from the train station to the ryokan with all our luggage, so a shuttle service would have been helpful.

We were hoping to have a Ryokan living experience instead we got a below average accommodation and service . The place was not very clean . There was limited food options inside the hotel and outside area didnt have much to offer either . We had to walk quite a bit from hotel to take train . Or we had to do uber . This “hotel” is in the middle of residential area . Which is just weird . Limited hours for front desk . Check out was a hard 10 am which was very annoying. They gave us slippers to wear inside the room which is fine but the one for bathroom looked used - Gross! Inside the room for the basic amenities like fridge tea tray all were just old and dilapidated looking . I am all for simple living experience but dirty I cant stand. Shower was another challenge. It was a short length hand shower attached outside fo bathtub . Only my 11 year could use it , rest of us had to bend down in wierd positions to use it . Overall a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone . If you have want to have a pleasant Rykon experience please do your research and find something else . So disappointing!

This hotel is very clean and the room is spacious. The hotel provides water, tea and snacks that are nice. It also provided robes for the onsen. The onsen was great for our first time experience in Japan. The hotel restaurant has great food and very convenient. The kids found it a bit of a walk to the train station but not too bad for adults. The closest convenience store is also a bit of a walk. The one thing that can be improved is the location and amount of washer and dryer (1 each) since it is located in the female washroom. The hotel staff was great and it was easy to communicate in English since they have a translating device. This hotel is highly recommended and gave us the traditional feel of Japan.

At first I was hesitate to book this hotel because it only has 2.5 stars. However, I decided to book it because of the raving Expedia customer rating (9.4/10). I've stayed in this hotel for two nights and I did not regret choosing Kyoto Ryokan Shoei. The lobby, the room, the dining hall and the hot spring are all very clean. I especially love the traditional Japanese style. All staffs are very polite and helpful. The check-in staff even helped me to locate the bus stop going to my sight-seeing destination the next day. It's a big plus that they carry and sell the Kyoto one-day bus pass. The breakfast is nice and cheap (a full course at 1000yen for adult which is just about US$7.5). Room is in regular size but with tatami laid out, you'll need to be creative to lay all luggages on the floor opened. Bathroom is large compared to many other hotels in Japan. Although Expedia doesn't show that this hotel has laundry, it actually has one washer and one dryer located in the lobby ladies' bathroom. I just found out on the day of check out. The hotel is located in a residential area, so there's no shopping within walking distance. However, bus stops and JR station are conveniently located within 5-8 min of walking distance. Overall, I'd rate this hotel a 9.5/10. I took half a point off just because it doesn't advertise laundry and there's only one washer and one dryer for the whole hotel.

Bruk gjerne et annet sted.

Et greit ryokan, men overpriset. Opererer med en turistskatt som er mye høyere enn ved de andre hotellene vi bodde på, både i Kyoto og i andre byer i Japan. Det reklameres med onsen, men vær klar over at dette ikke bare disponeres av hotellets gjester. Flertallet av brukerne i onsen var lokale beboere i området rundt hotellet.

This was exactly what we wanted. We got the traditional Japanese experience in Kyoto. The transit was a small walk through a quiet and safe neighborhood. They had a restaurant that we ate at and a nice traditional Japanese breakfast. The small beds on the floor were a surprise to us all how comfortable they were. Loved this experience!

My daughter and I stayed here for one night and stayed in the Japanese style room. It was very comfortable and we had the traditional breakfast in the morning. The food was ok it wasn't to my daughters liking, but I enjoyed mine. The only negative I could say is that Expedia did not inform us of the extra $90CAD we had to pay for the Tourist Tax. Apart from that the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very clean and well maintained.
