Nakagyo Ward Historic Hotel

"The hotel was not only clean but also very spacious with living areas on the ground floor and sleeping space on the first floor. The kitchen was very well equiped with clear instructions for every appliance if you don't speak Japanese. The same could be said of the washer/dryer unit which was very easy to use. The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and while they weren't on location all the time you could always get in touch with them with a quick message. Location was also great with...

"Hidden gem"

"This if the first Ryokan I have ever stayed in so I have nothing to compare my experience to besides one of the other hotels I stayed at while visiting Japan for the first time. With that in mind, I can definitely say that the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi was my favorite stay by far. The entire experience was completely different from a normal hotel. The Japanese breakfasts each morning were an added bonus and this is coming from someone that is a little picky about what I eat (I did my best to be...

"All around great facility. Excellent staff."

"Excellent accommodation. Great service."

"All the staff were very helpful and polite. Ms Hiroko especially went above and behond to assist us and we appreciate it. Beds were comfortable and traditional japanese breakfast was excellent"

"We enjoyed dining experiences at the hotel. Breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing."

"The hotel is well situated in the downtown area of Kyoto, close to Nishiki market and plenty of shopping and food options. Our room was a nice size with a comfortable bed. The only complaint about the room was the lack of 100V outlets. I've stayed in many hotels in the country and know this is not always provided, so I'm not faulting the hotel too much for this. The breakfast was one of the best in all the hotels we stayed at during the trip throughout the country. The amenities were also...

"NOTE: This is an authentic ryokan with a full ryokan experience. If you are not looking for the full traditional experience, this might be less of an ideal option for you. If you want that experience, you will be handsomely rewarded. Have your google translate ready, because not all staff speak English, but that's about the only possible negative. The room was gorgeous, the location is perfect, near Nishiki market and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Get the breakfast option, as it's a...

"Good place to stay just for sleeping if you’re out all day. Close proximity to Nijo Castle however best to take a bike from the hostel starting from 500 yen to travel around as trains and buses do get crowded during peak season. Beds are average and room is nothing particularly special. Bathrooms are clean and common area is nice. Make sure to make your own bed and remove sheets before checking out. Staff are friendly and helpful when required assistance. Overall a good place to stay,...
