Reviews of Yamadaya Ryokan 3 stars

Staff was very courteous.

Hosts were so kind and charming - definitely made us feel at home and cared for.

Nothing at all!

A beautiful hotel and experience staying in the Japanese style room. The staff are so lovely and helpful and everything is so spotlessly clean. We loved the onsen experience - the large ones in particular is very beautiful - and they switch every day so men and women will get a chance to experience both even if staying for a night. The tatami beds were very comfortable. Would highly recommend - we walked to Gion and the temples and it's in a great location.

This inn exceeded my expectations. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. Very welcoming. The inn is also extremely clean and provided a Japanese style room and onsen. Overall, would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Kyoto. The location is also a plus point as it is walkable distance to Kyoto Station.

Nice staff and good baths

Pricing confusing because I only needed a room for one person but I think they charged for a room of two

If you’re on the fence, just do it.

My favorite stay in Japan. I spent my last night on Kyoto there to try a traditional stay. Room was great. I chose a Japanese-style room and the futon was super comfy and traditional chair and desk were such a nice touch. The manager, forgive me for forgetting your name, was amazing. She made sure everything was top notch and knowing that I don’t prefer public onsen, she provided me the key to a private one insisting I try it and it was amazing. The location is great and there is a bike rental shop right next to it which was really cool. I also booked the dinner and it was DELICIOUS! I could barely finish all the courses. They also provided with with a really cute Yakuta. Highly recommended. Great place, people, hospitality, cleanliness and location. You can take the bus, which is like a 10 minute walk, to Gion.

Best accommodation we had in our entire trip in Japan! Highly recommended

The staff made our stay feel so warm and welcoming that we didn’t want to leave. The room was cozy, and the onsen was fantastic. We especially loved the little treats they’d leave for us to sample. We couldn’t have picked a better place, thank you for making our stay one we’ll never forget :)

The staff was the most hospitable, friendly, wonderful. Those who didn’t speak English carried translators so we were able to converse with them all. The place was immaculate, had awesome public baths, and was in a great location. The food was beautifully set, generous and delicious.

Nothing we can think of. Everything was so thoughtful and designed for guest happiness and comfort.

Nice central location in Kyoto

Was hoping for a cosy central place and laundry dryer was not effective

The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. The meals they offered were amazingly delicious and authentic. I wanted to find a couple specific things in the Kyoto area and they were able to help me find them (an onsen and some hamachi kama)! I will absolutely be returning the next time I visit Kyoto.

There are literally no complaints whatsoever.

Lovely sento bath, comfortable room and well located near to Kyoto station.

Our hosts were very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the onsen, and it was a good introduction without being intimidating. Great to relax after a day exploring.

Great location to the train station, with interesting temples and gardens all within walking distance. The host was helpful.

The room, while very beautiful, was a tiny bit small?
