Room is spacious - we stayed in the Family Room at the new wing (family of 5 adults). Very thoughtful housekeeping everyday. Breakfast is those served Japanese style. Onsen was a little small and basic but good enough. It takes culture and good etiquette for everyone to enjoy onsen.

The staff were exceptional, so helpful and gave lots of tips for things to do. We especially liked the warm welcome every evening we arrived back to the ryokan . The interior feels really authentic Japanese and it was fantastic to experience a traditional Japanese room to sleep. The ryokan was so close to most of the major sites and metro/train stations. We cannot recommend this ryokan enough. A rating of 10 is not high enough!

Excellent services by the staff, felt so warm and welcome with their hospitality throughout our stay at Ishibekoji Muan. They have 3 types of room, and the one we stayed at was Kiyohira. We love the room design as well as the zen vibes/ atmosphere that the property created. The entire property including the room was also extremely clean and fully equipped/ well furnished.

Very clean and elegant hotel. The staff were courteous and did an excellent job accommodating our limited language skills. The traditional room was everything I expected. The tatami were new, and the futon was very comfortable.

Okami-san was very kind and caring toward me. She was showing me every traditional manner and usage in the Ryokan. She even suggested me some place to eat. The traditional breakfast was amazing and it was handmade.

I only liked that I got the chance to stay in a ryokan for a very good value of money. The futons were comfortable. It is 8 minutes distance from the Kyoto Station which is convenient.

Friendly, helpful staff speaking good english. Spotless cleaning, beautifully arranged rooms with everything necessary. Loved the provided yukata, when I went to the onsen it was empty as well. My room was one of the simpler ones, but had a great view of the Nidec tower. I think my pictures don't do it justice...

It was by far the most authentic and best stay in our whole trip across Japan. Tome and her Partner were amazing hosts who made us feel so welcome. The facilities are brilliant, and the futon beds are very comfy. Tea made for us free of charge and she arranged a taxi for us on our departure. If anyone is visiting Kyoto I recommend experiencing this Ryokan for at least 1 night.

Even though the ryokan was just next to the big streets, the area was really calm and there was no noise from the outside, so it's a good place to go when you don't want to be far from shopping areas and museums while still getting to sleep peacefully. Futons were comfortable to sleep on and the owners are really nice :D

This was a lovely place to stay for a traditional ryokan experience, sleeping on tatami mats, drinking green tea and visiting the ryokan. The staff were very friendly and the ryokan was very clean.
