Simple, efficient, great location
3-night trip

10/10

We got a very spacious room with 5 individual beds. The room is very nicely designed with two sleeping areas, a separate office corner with full privacy, and a little living area. My kids absolutely love it. It's the best hotel room we stayed during our Japan trip.

3-night trip

10/10

Great place to stay with public transit (bus stop) right in front of the building. Convenience stores within a five mins walk and main attractions within 15-20 mins walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable and comes with fridge and kettle. Private shower/tub combo with bidet. Room also had a balcony, which was a nice bonus feature. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

2-night trip

10/10

The Wayfarer was exactly what we needed for the family trip to Kyoto. A clean, modern place to hang our hats as we were out most of the time. That is a great Teppanyaki Bar next door, a Family Mart at the end of the street. The staff were incredibly helpful also. Perfect for our stay.
4-night trip

8/10

Roomy but not as comfortable
2-night trip

6/10

The location of this hotel was amazing, but the hotel itself was somewhat lacking. There seems to be very limited soundproofing between rooms, so you have hear othersโ€™ conversations/loud footsteps above you. The tatami beds were also quite uncomfortable.
6-night trip

10/10

We booked a room with the tatami and it was a unique place to stay! It was very spacious and includes complimentary amenities. Although there was no floor chairs (based on the photos), it was overall an enjoyable stay!
4-night trip

10/10

A lovely little hotel around 20 minutes walk from Kyoto station. It was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to store our cases with them on the day we left so we could have an extra day around Kyoto
2-night trip

8/10

Staff were friendly. The space was clean and compact. Appreciated the amenities that were provided (shampoo, soap, shower cap, slippers, etc).

4/10

The rooms are very small. We had a four person room and there was no space for our luggage. The photos are deceiving. The staff is rude and not interested in helping their guests. There are far too many hotels in Kyoto to settle for this one. We wonโ€™t be staying here again.
3-night trip

10/10

Very clean and look new!
2-night trip

10/10

We had a sick kid and wanted to check in ahead. It is often hard with Japanese establishments but not with this hotel ๐Ÿ›๏ธ! They let me check in without any hesitation but with a smile ๐Ÿ˜Š The room was huge and comfy. The staff are super nice with multilingual skills. Family Mart is nearby for your breakfast and Toto Stand is must if you love Uni! This will be my home in Kyoto for the next trip.
