Most guests are enchanted; one detailed stay lists the trade-offs: a musty old-house smell, thin wooden walls that carry footsteps and plumbing, a fish-heavy kaiseki that felt ordinary, a locked garden gate and a shared bath fed by warmed rather than natural spring water. - Service: One-on-one service from mostly elderly staff who serve meals in the room and lay out futons is deeply appreciated. - Rooms: Tatami rooms are atmospheric, but the wooden building carries footsteps and plumbing sounds. - Food: In-room kaiseki dinners and breakfasts are elegant though fish-heavy; one guest found them ordinary. - Facilities: A shared bath with warmed rather than natural spring water, and a garden that may be locked. - Noise: Thin wooden walls carry upstairs steps and water; one guest was woken by a rainstorm. - Guests love: Deeply attentive service; In-room kaiseki and futons; Century-old atmosphere; Near Kamogawa and sights - Keep in mind: Thin walls carry noise; Musty smell on arrival; Shared, reheated bath water - Best for: Couples, Culture seekers, Special occasions ## Before you book - Children: Children of all ages are welcome at this property ## Location - Address: Tonya-machidori-gojosagaru 3 Nishitachibana 467, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, 605-0907, Japan - Distance to city centre: 1.3 km - Nishiki Market: 1.2 km, about 19 min on foot - Kyoto Station: 1.3 km, about 20 min on foot - Gion: 1.4 km, about 22 min on foot - Kiyomizu-dera: 1.4 km, about 23 min on foot - Nearest Airport: Itami Airport - Distance to Airport: 38.07KM - Nearest Train Station: Kiyomizu-Gojo Station - Distance to Train Station: 0.23KM - Nearest Subway Station: Gojō - Distance to Subway Station: 1.02KM ## How it compares with other hotels in the city Seikoro Ryokan ranks #41 of 406 hotels Staylist lists in Kyoto and #13 of 135 4-star hotels there.
