This was the most spacious apartment. We had 6 adults and had room to move which was great. Beds were comfy and there was everything you needed. Check in is self serve so just have to work that out and you are all good to go.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at the Ebisuya was fantastic! We stayed in the large room with the king size bed and additional beds in the tatami room. My son loved the tatami space and said it was extremely comfortable. The room was super clean, and the in room washer/dryer was a huge bonus for us. The bathroom was lovely with a huge bathtub, and a waterfall shower, we loved taking turns soaking after a long day of walking. The location was perfect, 10 min walk from the busy downtown center of Kyoto but the hotel felt so quiet and peaceful. The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful with great local recommendations as well. Highly recommend staying here if you’re going to Kyoto.

The room was excellent, and all of the staff were awesome. The staff were very pleasant and worked with us on trying to find kimono rentals. I will recommend this hotel to families and friends who plan on visiting Kyoto. Plus I would love to thank Tomo san for making our stay memorable. Please give machiya hotels a try. Sleeping on a futon In a tatami room was one of the highlights of our trip, and for those who don't care for sleeping on the floor you can get a western style room that is just as great as the traditional room. We stayed in both.
