This was an awesome place to stay. I had never stayed in a traditional ryokan before, but the room, meals, and service here far surpassed my expectations. The room was very clean and I got the best night’s sleep of my life. The history of the hotel is also neat. I would recommend getting the breakfast and dinner at least once during your stay.

If you are looking for a true experience of Japanese culture you pick this hotel right now. But do remember to make some research about Japanese lifestyle in a washitsu room before coming ;) Staff all speak good English. Very helpful and polite. Price stable throughout the year and the room size is just ideal compared with the 12-15sqm rooms offer by other hotels in the similar area at a similar price. Close to subway and bus stations, traffic is good, some tourist sites like the Royal Garden and Nijo Cho are even within walking distance. Close to Sanjo and Gion too. Nonetheless very quite since it's not right next to the mainstreet. There is a FamilyMart 2min's walk away. Room facility: appliances are new and are not cheap ones, furniture is older but in perfect condition.

We had an excellent stay at Ishicho. Our suite had one large room for sleeping and hanging out, a narrow balcony, a toilet room, and a room with a tub and shower. It was very quiet. I had read a few reviews before our stay and had been a little nervous about a few things. I wanted to address some of those things for other people who are considering staying. First, someone had left the review that the staff was not friendly and did not speak English. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, very attentive, and everyone spoke enough English to get things done. The staff was great! Another review said that there was a weird smell in the bathtub. When we first arrived, there was a strange smell in the room with the bath, but we think it is a cleaning product as we smelled it at both the apartment we rented and the hotel we stayed at in Tokyo. It dissipated the first day and the bathtub and shower were very very clean. Some reviews say that it is a bit run down - the facility feels older, but it doesn’t feel like a bad thing; everything is very clean and very well-tended. The futons are a bit thin, which might be uncomfortable if you are not used to sleeping in the floor. The pillows are the usual for Japan - small and flat. I would say that sleeping in Japan in general is less comfortable than sleeping in a hotel elsewhere… so no matter where you stay, you can expect to want a better pillow and a softer bed. ;) The ryokan breakfast is very nice!

This place did the job, but overall the property and amenities felt quite old and limited. It’s more of a hotel than a standard ryokan, and all in all just felt a little substandard compared to similarly priced Kyoto hotels

Convenient location -ryokan is a bit rundown. Breakfasts are good, but the rooms are average, staff is ok but not stellar. Rooms and bathrooms are very basic.

We didn't know the hotel has 2 different towers (just 1 min walk away) and we turned up at the wrong one. Staff were friendly to show us to the right tower, even helped with our suitcase. Place is dated but we like that. The breakfast is awesome! The location is a 15 min walk from Sanjo-dori and it's easier to hop on buses with bus stops located within 3 min walk from the hotel....6 min walk with a 4-year-old.
