    Comfy and tranquil location in an alley in Kyoto, all was perfect. I came across Nishi Tomiya Korokke, it was a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, offered nice shots. There were climate control, a personal safe and a flat-screen TV in the room, liked that. A tub in the private bathroom was a plus.

    The hotel is conveniently located near popular landmarks, the shopping district, and plenty of restaurants and bars in Kyoto. Seikoro benefits from its amazing location. - A great perk is the nearby Kawama-Cafe, which serves tea and coffee.

    We had an amazing stay at a classic ryokan. Impeccable service, spacious and comfortable rooms filled with beautiful art. The hotel facilities were fantastic, especially the fabulous bath. The location was convenient for strolling, sight-seeing, shopping and accessing public transportation. The staff went above and beyond, providing everything we anticipated and more. They even provided a yukata that fit my tall partner. The breakfast, served privately in our room, was excellent. The staff spoke English well, making communication easy for us.

    Nothing to mention.

    Great value for money, the room was stunning, and the staff treated us like family. The location was convenient, close to a subway station and within walking distance to Kiyomizu-dera.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with a wider variety of options.
