“It's at a perfect location in kyoto, most things you want to see in kyoto are walkable. The staff is very nice and sweet. With the breakfast you can choose between Japanese and western breakfast, we tried both. It was both very fulfilling, organic and super tasty. I felt super home. Room was warm and very japanese feeling. The staff will help you out with reservations and suggestions where to go, and what to do.”“”

“Sowaka is a perfect combination: traditional style hotel, high class design, super-nice and helpful team, best possible location in Kyoto”“0”

“SOWAKA is truly a special place - such a beautiful house in the centre of old Kyoto. The whole hotel was breathtaking and our two-storey room with a tea ceremony room and garden view was absolutely gorgeous and we spent hours just looking at the winter foliage outside the window. The breakfast (we had one Japanese and one Western style) was one of the highlights of our stay. The staff was friendly and we felt really welcomed.”“0”

“Selected the Japanese breakfast for two days. While both were excellent in spread and quality, they were largely the same on both days. May I suggest some variation in the items if possible. Location was fantastic - in the heart of all we wanted to see and do!!”“0”

“Location are perfect. Hotel is popular and easy to find. The room is spacious, enjoy heated floor in living area and bathroom. No TV in the room but no problem at all because most of the time we were outside. Take a bath, enjoy their tea and chocolate in room. Their restaurant food are delicious! Both breakfast and dinner are perfect!”“0”
