Especially loved the whole experience of staying in a traditional Japanese inns.

10/10 Exceptional

I was really looking forward to staying at an authentic Ryokan and it didn't disappoint. I would definitely recommend this property
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience to stay in a traditional ryokan in Kyoto with tatami mats, yukata (that you can wear) and Japanese traditional breakfast! Also very convenient to Kyoto station and staff were very friendly.
Sue, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great staff, but ryokan is definitely no frills. Any of the traditional accommodations (onsen, breakfast) are additional fees. Massage was great.

This place is in a perfect location, a few blocks from Kyoto station it is quiet but close enough to explore the areas around Kyoto.
Kyle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a very nice ryokan in a residential area, walkable to the Kyoto Station. The only complaint was the AC in the room was not strong enough and the room was kinda stuffy and warm with the 3 of us.
Jean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and the room had a nice garden view. The location was nice, about a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station, making it easy to get to all sides of town and see the major sights.
James, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As far as price for what you get, this Ryokan offers incredible hospitality and service for a fraction of the price of some the pricier Ryokan around town. You can rent a private onsen for a mere ¥1000 per hour, a nice reprieve after a day out and about on your feet. With breakfast included, this location should be well consideree for your Japanese Ryokan experience. Thank you from my wife and I.
Clifford, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I only stayed a short period of time, but it’s a nice little property that’s a short distance from the station
Benjamin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Ryokan experience. I’ve stayed in my fair share of Ryokans and this offers that experience with a western flair. Each room has private bathrooms but there is a private onsen bath on location you can reserve. We stayed in a more traditional room which had a tatami room with futon beds. It’s a good compromise if you’re not ready to be in a shared onsen!
Lineker, 6-night trip

Cozy Japanese style rooms with table, futons, water kettle, fridge, Yukata. Excellent host - super warm, welcoming and helpful. Friendly staff. This Ryokan is very convenient to Gion and the Kyoto Station. Bathroom is not large but it's not too small either.
Dianna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Matsubaya Ryokan is a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station where many food options are available. There is a convenience store in between. We split our time in Kyoto between this ryokan and a modern hotel near Kyoto Station. The modern hotel was wonderful, however, it will in time be blended in with all the other wonderful hotels we've stayed at, while it's unlikely we'll forget the traditional Japanese experience we got at the ryokan. We had a deluxe room with garden view. It was clean and had everything we needed. The futon beds were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that we couldn't turn off the lights at night while keeping the air-conditioning on at the same time. We opted for a Japanese breakfast - booking ahead of time is a must - and we really enjoyed it (we even learned from our host the correct way to eat the rice, namely, wrapping it in the seaweed wraps provided). In short, we recommend this ryokan if you're looking for a traditional Japanese experience in a reasonably-priced ryokan.

京都駅から歩いて1キロ足らずで、この時期では桜が満開で眺望は最高でした。 　私以外の宿泊者は全て外国人で少し寂しい思いもしましたが、その分お宿のスタッフの方々が丁寧に対応してくれ、旅の相談にも乗ってくれました。 　入浴施設は共同風呂でしたが、問題なく利用できました。浴衣を着る際の補助等、障害のある私に対しても親切丁寧に応じていただけました。
