The hotel is located right in the center of Kyoto city. Walking distance to Nishiki Food Market & Gion. The traditional Japanese hotel room is nice & clean. Hotel staff is nice & friendly. They are so kind to lead us to their recommended car-park which is few streets away from hotel building & fetch us with our luggage to the same car-park on our check-out. The Kaiseki dinner & Shabu Shabu dinner was served at hotel room & tasted great ! The staff will set the bed after dinner. This is our first experience in staying at traditional Japanese ryokan & Watazen Ryokan gave us great experience.

Excellent location, close to market street and shopping. Very helpful and friendly staff. Asked for transport advice from reception staff and they kindly marked sights on a map and explained buses. They recommended a bus day pass (500 yen) which was great value. Can buy at reception. Breakfast is very nice, they even cater for vegetarians. Japanese style room with futons was super comfortable. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Hotel staffs are all very helpful and speak good english. The location is wonderful, about 15 min walk from the subway station. Dinner and breakfast were extremly good and delicious!! Love the place would definitly go back!!
