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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 won’t be staying here again.

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 others’ conversations/loud footsteps above you. The tatami beds were also quite uncomfortable.

Only issue we had on our stay was that there were doing construction work near by. We could hear the jackhammer that was incredibly loud and shock the apartment from 8am to 5pm. Everything else was great.

Happy Customer
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.

We had a sick kid and wanted to check in ahead. It is often hard with Japanese establishments but not with this hotel 🛏️! They let me check in without any hesitation but with a smile 😊 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.

Very loud hotel, lot's of noise from other rooms, flushing etc and can hear everything from the corridors. Extremely hard bed! Feels like it is just built which i guess is good but felt very sterile. The restaurant next door is amazing though! Not the hotel but well worth visiting.

Love this hotel! We stayed at the Japanese Family room. It was clean and spacious and the decor made us really feel we were in Japan lol. The staff was helpful and friendly. We took bus 50 most of the time but the subway wasn’t that far either.
