We stayed here for 3 nights, 2 adults & 1 child. Spacious rooms with everything you need for overnight stays. Very easy check in, and storage for before check in and to leave luggage after. Hassle free. Very friendly help on the desk. Walking distance to main attractions, there is a bike store ( j bikes) just around the corner, I would recommend hiring bikes for a day, great fun, easy & cheap! We didn’t need to pre book this. Also the Japanese steak bbq next door is an absolute MUST!! We enjoyed it so much we went back the following night - insane!!!

The room was stunning. And very clean. The shower and bath area was just lovely. Hot hot water and excellent pressure. The toilet was fabulous too! The beds were super comfortable and the kids (aged 12, 10 and 7) all loved the Japanese mats and slept well. Copious amenities available if you require anything. Always a fresh supply of towels and jammies to help yourself too. We stayed for 4 nights, with amazing house keeping after 2 nights (half way).there is the most beautiful sushi bar across the street specialising in salmon, tuna and eel. It was my favourite meal in Kyoto. There is an awesome Sukiyaki restaurant next door to the hotel also. There is a place to hire bikes 100m away around a corner. It is close to the station.

Everything was fabulous.

This new place was so super sparkling clean and cozy, amenities were in excellent condition. The interior design had just the right balance of modern simplicity and a traditional touch. You get your room the exact way it is shown in the photos. Would stay here again. Check-in procedure was fully self-serviced and really convenient given that we arrived late at night. Staff were really helpful and friendly as well, I had some issues with my bank card during the payment and they very kindly helped me double check all payments. The bathroom supplies were very good quality, bunk bed felt sturdy and safe and came with a handrail. Room was extremely spacious. There were bus stops, Gojo train station and a really nice affordable supermarket nearby.

As a tourist with luggage/ after a full day of sightseeing on foot, the 6-8 minute walk from the bus stop/ train stations into the building always felt a bit painful :'). (But of course that comes with its own perks of the neighbourhood being so serene and quiet and good sleep quality.)

The room was super clean and new, and the appliances were good. Tea bags available in the building were a good extra.

No information was shared at all before our arrival, so we had to figure out if we could drop our luggages there before check in by looking at old reviews and try to understand how it works. In the end, we could drop them even though there was no hotel staff because they have a self storage room, but it was not very smooth to understand if that was even possible.

Wow what a great hotel. The room was beautiful, beds super comfortable, the lighting excellent, the shower incredible, the location super convenient, the staff super friendly. I would very much definitely come back give the chance!

The Internet worked very poorly. On some devices (android) it worked okay (speed was slower than our eSIM), but on Windows and iPad, the WiFi just wouldn't connect or stay connected. It connected perfectly fine from the lobby, but rarely ever worked from the room.

Staff were friendly and helpful, check in/out was super easy, and the room was super clean. What I really valued was the easy public transport access to all the sights we wanted to see in the city. Everything felt like a short walk and then a single bus ride away. There were also lots of restaurants we enjoyed in the area.

If you're taller than 5'5 or so, you may find that your head bumps into the top bunk if you sleep in the bottom bunk. The shower may also be too short for you if you're taller than 6ft.

Beautiful room Spacious for our family of 5 Well located (6 minutes to subway station and shopping area)

Our only complaint is that one of the futons’ sheet and duvet cover had stains on them upon our arrival. It looked like the sheet wasn’t changed? We asked for a new sheet the day after and we were given a new set. Also, the toilet wasn’t clean (there was brown spots at the bottom of it which disappeared when housekeeper cleaned our room on the third day of our stay).

Very nice and clean hotel, friendly staff. Easily accesible, close to subway lines and convenience stores. It was warm and comfortable during our winter stay. Beds were very comfortable and clean and room was neat and pleasant. It started snowing while we were there - the hotel has umbrellas in the lobby for use which kept us dry all day while sightseeing in Kyoto. It was a joy to stay at Wayfarer Shin.

Everything was amazing. It was clean and neat, the room super spacious and the staff always responsive for whatever we needed. The location was great too, in a quiet neighborhood close to the main attractions of Kyoto, metros and buses. Delicious food places and coffee shops around as well. It was just perfect.

Nothing really

Very clean. The facilities are thoughtful. The furnitures are so cute and yet practical. Quite sleep and warm room (I am here in winter)

The location is a bit far off from train stations. But well Kyoto is very a bus heavy city.. if you carry big luggage it can be a tiring. It can very quiet at night. There is one nice yakiniku right downstairs and some Izakaya a few blocks away.
