PROS: I stayed 5 nights at this ryokan. The staff was nice and attentive, especially my attendant Tomoko and manager Haruka were kind and helpful. The location of this ryokan is good. Breakfast was good and sufficient. CONS: Before you can enter this ryokan, you have to remove your shoes and put on their slippers to walk to your room. These are not disposable slippers, and these are used by all guests. I did not like sharing the slippers with other guests, as this is very unhygienic, which could potentially spread a foot disease from guest to guest. This ryokan charges a lot of money to stay there, so they should offer a disposable pair of slippers to every guest. You also have to change to another pair of their slippers when you enter the toilet room. Again, it felt unhygienic and uncomfortable. I had a Kaiseki dinner on my last evening there, which was good but not great for the value. It is very expensive (starting at 19,800 yen per person and up) and it is nothing special, so I would not recommend it. It is not worth it. You can have a better dinner and for less money at a nearby restaurant. At my check-out, I expected to pay for my Kaiseki dinner, because I already paid for my 5 nights including the tax at the time of booking with Expedia. Unfortunately, I was badly surprised and required to pay additional 4,000 yen per night for some extra city tax. Thus, I had to pay extra 20,000 yen for my 5 nights stay. This place is too expensive! Would NOT recommend.

We stayed at Seikoro for 2 nights - we had the best time. The highlights were the breakfast and close proximity to Gion, subway, and tourist spots. But what made this place special was the amazing staff! They were warm, welcoming and attentive. They helped make reservations and anticipated all our needs. Highly recommend a stay here.
