Matsubaya Ryokan
600-8150 Kyoto, Kyoto, Shimogyo-ku Kamijuzuyamachidori Higashinotoinnishiiru Kamijuzuyamachi 329 , Japan – Great location - show map
Great location, friendly staff, nice way to spend a night “Japanese style”. They even offer you kimono’s and have a photo corner with accessories at disposal for you to make some nice memory pics
ItalyPerfectly located within walking distance from Kyoto Station and the Kiyomizu area. Nice ryokan experience with very friendly staff with relatively good English skills.
NorwayLocation was around 10-15mins to Kyoto station. Plenty restaurant around but most of them close around 10pm. Our room was perfect. Futon really comfortable and its a good size with clean bathroom.
United Arab EmiratesVery kind and polite staff! We arrived earlier than the check-in time and the staff kindly allowed us to store our luggage. The opportunity to use the laundromat at a rather pleasant price helped a lot. The location of Matsubaya Ryokan is great - within walking distance of the Kyoto station and several bus stations. It is easy to get to the main attractions of the city.
RussiaWe loved staying at a traditional place like Matsubaya Ryokan. Great breakfast (choose between japanese style or western style). Recommend to book the private bath in steaming hot water one evening (1 hour) - very relaxing.
SwedenGreat central location. Relaxing private bath available. Delicious Japanese breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff.
AustraliaLovely Japanese traditional house. Excellent breakfast, staff. If you are into experiencing a traditional style, you would love it.
NetherlandsThe room and bathroom was very clean and cozy. We slept on futon beds which were comfortable. You do have to make your own futon bed and instructions are provided. During the day we folded the beds so we could use the low table and chairs which are also present in the room. When the beds are laid out there isn't much space left, but we could store the luggage in the closet. The staff is friendly and helpful. We also used the Japanese bath which I can recommend but be ware, the water is really hot. Our last day we had breakfast here and it was good. The location is good and the room we stayed in was quiet. There are convenient stores and restaurants nearby and several busses leave from nearby. Kyoto station is a bit more then a 10 minutes walk away.
BelgiumGreat location - 10 minutes walk from station. It was a lovely traditional room. The Japanese breakfast was amazing. Staff were very helpful
United KingdomWe loved our Japanese style room and the futon beds! A must try when you travel in Japan. The staff were really nice and helpful, speaking Japanese, English and Mandarin (and perhaps more?) Location was great too, in a quiet corner but within walking distance to the Gojo station and many local restaurants and convenience stores. There's also a laundry room with a washing machine and a dryer. They worked well and didn't cost much.
