"The hotel was perfect for our short stay in Kyoto. Down the street from Nishki Market and very walkable to other bars and restaurants in the area. Very quiet at night. Hotel was clean and even came with a croissant service in the morning! We had a king bed and it was very comfortable. Highly recommend. "
"Ishiahara is now my new favorite place in the world. The Ryokan at first seems humble, but the design, layout, and hospitality of it made me feel as if I was staying at the most luxurious hotel in the world. I look forward to staying here again!"
"This was the best hotel we stayed at in Japan. It was brand new and the design was so stylish. A boutique, luxury hotel. The room was amazing - spacious, luxurious and airy with great views over Kyoto to the hills. Such a pleasure to relax in and come back to after our days out in Kyoto. The metro and train station was steps away which made it easy to get around and also to leave for Osaka.
The main street into downtown Kyoto from Gion was also steps away but because the hotel is on a side...
"Excellent place to stay in Gion. Really nice location, convenient. Attentive staff but they will not get in your way. Nice bathroom with a Japanese-style shower and tub area. Very clean and nice amenities. Although no breakfast provided, they provide suggestions and a convenience store is right across the street."
"This is listed as a 3 star hotel. It is not. It is the most luxurious hotel we’ve stayed at, including 5 star properties. The room was amazing. The location was perfect. Although everyone in Japan seems extraordinarily nice, the staff here beat even that standard. There was not one second of our time at this property that wasn’t perfect. 10/10. "
"It was a convenient walking distance (2.5 km) to both Kiyomizu-dera and Nanzen-ji. It was very close to a lot of great restaurants and activities. The hotel was perfectly clean and their baths are very relaxing."
"Great location, near bus and a few blocks from the subway. Room was spacious and updated. Love the shower! Limited front desk hours, but not an issue. Clean towels were readily available. "
