Reviews of 明和荘Mei Wa Inn

You should really book at this place, exceptional service, nice people, always helpful, everything is clean and tidy, a very pleasant feeling for the experience of a small and spacious Japanese apartment, we will definitely come back again and recommend it to others.

Good sized apartment, spotlessly clean with decent kitchen facilities. Good location for catching buses around the city.

The apartment is on a fairly busy road so there is some traffic noise.

Lovely house. It has everything. Very kind and helpful staff.

The house itself doesn't have real flaws. The only thing is that one room is on a busy street, and if one is now used to it, it could be a bit noisy.

The best I’ve had in Kyoto are the messe! Nice room with tatami, bathtub, the whole Japanese experience. Also drinking water and washing machine!

Sleeping mattress was very comfortable, and sitting area with a couch gives extra space to hang out.

Very good stay! Closer to Philosophers Walk and if heading to Ohara for the day. The place is spotless!! The owners are also very lovely and inviting. Will be back again soon.

The host was super helpful. He met us early and was happy to look after our baggage before and after our stay. He took the time to explain everything to us. The rooms were large, excellent facilities and space for a family. Loved it and would stay again.

Bath tub, washing machine, helpful owner

The rooms were very clean and well taken cared. The owner were very kind.

Very clean, warm, nice location

While it was a nice street it was further from the station than I originally realised, but walkable and there are busses

Very good location. Close to bus station yet far from the crowd of tourists. Very helpful and polite staff

The other couple upstairs made a lot of noise at night

Property was very clean and comfortable, the person in charge even carried all our luggage upstairs eventho they were crazy heavy. Hospitality is top notch, theres literally nothing bad i can say about this property. Close to trains as well, and during out last day with all our luggagw the uner to the station was really affordable. 100% recommend

Everything was great!

Excellent location, easily accessible by bus. The staff at the ryokan went above and beyond to assist us, including helping with Kuroneko Yamato shipping documents and even contacting the receiving hotel on our behalf. Their English was great, and they were incredibly helpful with everything we needed. The cleanliness of the ryokan was impeccable. Initially, I was hesitant about sleeping on a tatami mat, but it turned out to be the best sleep I've ever had!"

It was extremely clean and modern, they offered us free water bottles too!

Clean, good staff, strategic location

Sharing house with other guest. I rent the 2nd floor but we have some entrance with other guest.

Location is very convenient, right next to Heian Shrine and the bus station with a quick ride to the subway. There's a laundry across the street open 24/7 as well. Hosts were extremely nice and helpful as well, and the price was well worth it.

Host was very helpful and kind. The sleeping mats were surprisingly comfortable. Didn't use it but had a washing machine which was good. The entrance into the area we were in was a curtain but the room lock was secure as well as the bathroom lock so didn't feel like an issue. Good breakfast options nearby. Felt like we had the place to ourself. We were in the two person downstairs bit. No issues with road noise but on the back side of the building. Enough closet space for two large cases.

Arguably only thing we would have liked was a booklet with FAQs like how to check out etc but otherwise great.
