    We had a wonderful stay at Seikoro. The place was impeccable, extremely friendly and accommodating staff. They were able to serve vegan breakfast. The bed was amazing. Absolutely recommend this place when in Kyoto!

    Felt rush to leave by 10.30am and would recommend having a check out of lunchtime so we can enjoy the experience more.

    Attentive staff and enjoyed the massage and dinner at an extra cost.

    There wasn’t anything I didn’t like. I wish my stay was longer.

    The staff was very accommodating and the ryokan was absolutely beautiful. I also loved the onsen, very relaxing. The location was also perfect and beverly close to the train.

Our room attendant Kaori provided amazing service and she was enjoyable to talk to and very helpful. The food was some of the best I've ever had in my life.

    Our stay was a peaceful and relaxing experience, particularly after several days of more intensive walking and travelling. It was a great way to get a taste of traditional Japanese culture with excellent rooms, public baths and meals. The biggest highlight of our experience were the staff - particularly our room host. They were so attentive, kind and accomodating and took great care of us during our stay. Would absolutely recommend!

    The shower pressure was non existent only in the morning as I assume many others are showering at the same time?

    Gorgeous traditional accomodation where you are treated like royalty. Food was immaculate and the service was incredible. The public bath was also a lovely relaxing amenity.

    From the moment we stepped out of the taxi to the minute we left, we were fully taken of at Seikoro. It felt like the whole staff were there to greet us on arrival, and Akari (our hostess for our stay) was exceptional. At dinner and breakfast, she explained each dish clearly, and was so lovely with our kids. The room was beautiful, and although it was a traditional room, it still contained modern comforts, although they were thoughtfully tucked away. We stayed here for one night at the half way point of a two week visit to Japan, and we left feeling refreshed.

    I failed to read and respond to the email telling me I needed to advise them three days before if we wanted dinner. Based on the extraordinary breakfast I think we missed out on what would have been a special experience.

    An incredibly serene environment with welcoming staff and a genuine Ryokan experience. The Japanese breakfast was served in our room and comprised at least ten elements all of which were excellent. For a very reasonable price I was able to get an in room massage in the evening after I had used the onsen. The main room was traditional tatami mats but there was a smaller room with European style chairs and table that looked out at the garden.
