Very traditional from your normal hotel. Close to teain station and many restaraunts near. Staff was by far the most helpful with anything you needed. Small breakfast area on Floor 2 each day
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025

10/10

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.
Stayed 1 night in May 2019

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。

8/10

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!

4/10

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.

10/10

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。

8/10

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.

距離東本願寺很近，服務很親切房間也算乾淨整潔，大致上是個還不錯的住宿地方

离京都站非常方便，就是马路边不够安静，逢上当地大假，价格涨了不少，楼上有澡堂泡澡，这个很好，舒缓一下疲劳

very close to the station and makes a great base to explore Kyoto and nearby cities

在車站要行10分鐘才到達酒店。 午夜12時關門，不能進出！ 整體服務滿意。

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.

8/10

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.

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.

8/10

Good. The hotel staff are friendly.

10/10

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.

10/10

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.
