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

Very clean, warm, nice location

The other couple upstairs made a lot of noise at night

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

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!"

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

Clean, good staff, strategic location

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.

Everything is perfect.

The shower is great, the futon is comfortable and the kitchen is useful. The house owner is very gentle, kind, and responsive, satisfied all our needs.

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

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.

Would be great if we have the washing machine in our room, but they provide us with laundry card/voucher at a nearby laundry shop. All good

Loved the traditional look and cleanliness, amenities. Had a really great stay

the host is great, he even provide a free water for guests, the place is quite big as for Japan standards in this price. Very clean and full equiped kitchen, bathroom and a lot of towels to change.

I really loved everything about the facility. The Host gave me many Restaurant recommendations to my special requests. He was very friendly and I enjoyed my stay very much. The facilities give you much freedom. I liked that it had a Kitchen and that I could hang up my clothes on the balcony. I really enjoyed sleeping on the Tatami. What's more is that I could store my Luggage there after checking out respectively I could stay longer /could check out much later because they weren't expecting another guest until the next day. I am very thankful for that. 10/10 I would recommend Mei Wa Inn and I would love to visit again.

The owner was super friendly and helpful, she was flexible with check in and check out and provided us with very nice suggestions! Overall, great stay!

Our hosts were wonderfully helpful and informative. The apartment was very clean and spacious, with plenty of room for four travellers and our luggage. Great place to come back to, to relax after a long day sightseeing. The hosts provided little extra touches that just added to the experience e.g. adaptors, water bottles, extra towels, lovely shampoos and conditions.

Nothing

The host was so friendly and very helpful giving us suggestions on great local restaurants and must see activities, he would answer any questions we had over our time in Kyoto. Would highly recommended

We were concerned about privacy as there is just a curtain separating the apartment and lobby but it was not an issue.

The facilities are good with a microwave and fridge/freezer, and the washing machine is really useful. Everything was explained to us and the host speaks excellent English. The large wardrobe was very useful - no way we would ever fill it. We wanted a ryokan experience on our trip and this did not disappoint. The location looks a bit distant on the map but really it is not - there is a lot to see within a short walk and Gion, for example is easy walking distance. The subway and supermarkets are not very far. There is a restaurant next door which serves excellent food at good prices and bus stops nearby.

Front room was very new and nice, tatami mat / traditional style. Unfortunately road noise from the road was too loud for us (host did warn us as we checked-in). For others, this may not be an issue. The other room on the ground floor doesn't have this issue. Would have been nice to be able to access the washing machine on the ground floor (host did ask us to use it), but we felt that we would be intruding on privacy of the other guests.

Location was great, walking distance to Kamo River and Heian Shrine, buses along Higashioji Dori take you to all the Kyoto attractions. Coin laundry directly across the street was very convenient. Very newly remodeled / renovated. We stayed on second floor, and amenities were great, kitchenette was clean and spacious, room had facility to hang clothes out to dry, proper dining table and coffee table. Akiko-san made us feel very welcome and came to clean the room daily. Great value!

The property is on a busy street, bring earplugs, there are no blackout window coverings in one bedroom, sunrise was 4:30am during our stay, glad I had a sleep mask.

Spacious, good location, newly renovated, owner was very accommodating providing flexibility with checkin and checkout time, did our laundry, and provided bottled water
