I would rate the service and staff higher than 5 star if possible. The service was exceptional even by Japanese standards. The Kaiseki and breakfast shouldn’t be missed. Do your self a favor and stay here.

My partner and I both loved our stay at Hokkaikan Ohanabo, a ryokan in Kyoto. The staff were warm and welcoming and our accommodations were comfortable and provided a relaxing escape when we needed it. There are baths on premises, which was a unique experience. We highly recommend including breakfast in your reservation -- the daily breakfasts of traditional Japanese cuisine were our favorite part of the experience at Hokkaikan Ohanabo. The hotel is located across the street from the grand Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and is a short walk from Kyoto station.

Great stay in a traditional japanese hotel - amazing food, welcoming staff, lots of dining options around, and very close to the main train station. Very comfortable room with a view of the temple in front.

Absolutely stay here when in Kyoto. This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Japan. It is an authentic experience. Dinner and breakfast were great (though they may be tough for a picky eater). But most importantly, the staff was amazing. We have never felt more welcomed by a hotel. They became our friends. We will be back!

This property was definitely amongst the best ive been to. The staff made sure to accomodate for all the guests needs and assist in creating a perfect itinerary for the travelers. Staying at this inn feels like home, but keep in mind that they lock the front door at 12am. Otherwise a perfect place to rest between adventures.

Extremely enjoyable and authentic stay, the staff were exceptional, i’ve never met friendlier staff in any other accommodation. The dinner experience was amazing and the staff were so accommodating to our dietary needs and again just exceptional service throughout dinner also. The rooms were as a traditional ryokan would be, very clean and great location. I would highly recommend this place for an authentic enjoyable experience, all the staff members just made our stay even better due to their amazing service, would love to visit again next time

Truly a special place to stay in Kyoto. I have traveled all over the world and the staff here were among the friendliest and most welcoming I have ever experienced. The breakfast is highly recommended as well. The rooms are large, quiet and traditional Japanese. We stayed during the summer when it was vey warm and the AC was excellent. If you can get a reservation here- book it! Outstanding experience to stay in traditional Japanese hotel.

What a wonderful place! One of the highlights of our trip. The (vegetarian, for us) food was fabulous, and the lovely hosts were willing to answer all of our small questions about the ingredients and preparation. They also gave us great touring guidance. Would certainly return. And I wouldn't pay any more for the fancier ryokans--this place was absolutely terrific for a comparatively much cheaper price.

It was our best experience in all our trip. The owner and the personnel was so kind and so cute that we will remember it for the rest of our life. The breakfast was different every day and they surprised us every moment with some kindnesses. My wife has a serious allergy to fish and shrimps and they did all the best to let us feeling comfortable with a tailored approach and a dedicated experience.
If you go to Japan this place is THE PLACE to join. We want to thank them for the amazing experience they were able to provide with us. ARIGATŌ

The best Ryokan we have ever stayed and we have stayed in quite a few in the past 20 years. The service is beyond! The day when we arrived and we were recommended to visit the nearby Buddhist temp but it was about to close. The ryokan lady jumped into her car and drove us there. We were able to see the Magnificent 1001 buddha statues. The dinner was food art, fresh, seasonal with amazing taste, it definitely was a memorable experience. The facility was clean, authentic with all the modern day comforts. Staff takes proud in making all the guests feel welcome. Service was first rate. I couldn’t compliment enough

This was such a delightful stay. The team was incredibly friendly and the service was warm and genuine. Breakfast was tremendously intricate and beautiful...and different everyday. We're not used to Japanese for breakfast so probably should have just ordered for 1 day. Nonetheless, everyday was a different gastronomical experience. Location is very convenient to Kyoto station. It's a bit noisy as it is on the main road...but the chimes from the temple across the road early in the morning was so calming that traffic noise doesn't bother anymore. Loved every moment spent at the property. 4 of us comfortably stayed in the room with private bath. Highly recommend.

Booked a room for 1-4 people which I assumed would accommodate 4 people, but when we arrived they informed us that we had to pay additional for 2 people for a total of 4. It was another $425 and with city tax was close to $900 usd for a one night stay which was a rip off, definitely not worh it for a 2 star hotel. Would not recoomend and felt they take advantage of tourist families.

This is the absolute best place to stay ever! If you're looking for a ryokan or any type of accommodation in Kyoto, stay here!
The best part is the staff. They are some of the friendliest people we've ever met and were so helpful, happy and cheerful. They are also so passionate about their ryokan and their beautiful city! When we were having trouble getting to Fushimi Inari Taisha because of a road closure, one of the staff even drove us all the way there!
The rooms are very traditional and spacious with modern comforts (such as AC and a modern bathroom). They even lent us yukatas with many colours to choose from. The baths are traditional and clean with great amenities. The staff also let my wife use the baths even though she has tattoos.
The location is also fantastic (right across the street from Higashi Hongan-ji temple and 1 block from Shosei-en Garden) and there is plenty of delicious food and beautiful sights within walking distance! It is also super close to Kyoto station and other buses and trains!
We strongly recommend staying here!

While in Kyoto we stayed at this amazing family owned Rōyakan Inn. From the moment we entered the building we were treated as family. We were greeted with excitment and welcomed with open arms. Everyone was friendly and attentive. They anticipated our needs and pampered us throughout our stay. The food was wonderful, prepared for each guest based on their needs and what is available locally and fresh. When we ended our stay they helped us get a taxi and walked us to the car to say good bye, family group hugs and even waved until we were out of sight. The Inn is well situated near popular sights, including the famous Higashi Honganji Temple right outside the front door.
The room, building and amenities were georgous and well maintained. We loved everything and were glad we took advantage of the private onsen on-sight. If you are heading to Kyoto we highly recommend.
*bonus, most staff spoke English. while this is not something we look for or need (we are in JAPAN after all) it was nice to visit, chat and laugh in English.
