西山旅館 - 京都

非常安静，出行也方便，服务热情。

The room we stayed in was in the traditional Japanese style but also included Western style beds and a bathroom. It was a good balance of the culture while being comfortable and familiar for people visiting from the US. The basement included a common bath area (separated by gender), which is very traditional for a Ryokan. I found it a little awkward because males in the US do not usually bathe together, but I ended up having the bath to myself and really enjoyed the space and freedom. We also met the owners in the morning over matcha and they were wonderful. The hotel is a short walk from the nearest metro station and there are a number of restaurants within a reasonable walking distance. We would love to stay here again if we return to Kyoto.

The level of service here at this ryokan was outstanding. From the moment I walked in until the moment I retrieved my bags on checkout day to sightsee, the staff really makes you feel like you are a true guest in somebody's home. I highly recommend at least trying the traditional Japanese dinner one night during your stay. For me, it was the best meal I have ever had. Every course was intricately plated and the ingredients matched with the season as well as the region. It was also nice knowing I could come back to my room and have tea after a day of sightseeing. If you are on the taller side like myself, just ensure you duck to avoid hitting your head on some of the beams :).

Very lovely ryokan. The staffs are very kind and make you feel very warm. Breakfast is very nice.
