Great location

Great location, quick walk to the metro and only a few stops to Kyoto Station. Bus stop right outside. Hotel allowed us to check in a little bit early as the room was ready which was appreciated. Check in using an ipad, staff on reception spoke immaculate english. Bed was very hard and only one pillow which was flat and not your normal pillow - more of a mesh filling. Needed some silicone round bath as shower water goes straight down side of bath. Only one bottle of water in room when arrive, after that need to buy your own if need any.

The Wayfarer was the perfect base to travel from and very clean and spacious. I could have spent my whole trip just relaxing in the space! The staff were also foreigner friendly and very knowledgeable and kind. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay with public transit (bus stop) right in front of the building. Convenience stores within a five mins walk and main attractions within 15-20 mins walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable and comes with fridge and kettle. Private shower/tub combo with bidet. Room also had a balcony, which was a nice bonus feature. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The hotel was clean and spacious. We love that the bus stop is right outside of the hotel. The staff spoke English and are very friendly. I would stay there again.
Tommy, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The location of this hotel was amazing, but the hotel itself was somewhat lacking. There seems to be very limited soundproofing between rooms, so you have hear others’ conversations/loud footsteps above you. The tatami beds were also quite uncomfortable.
Kristen, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and helpful. Offered great suggestions for night activities.
Ana, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms are very small. We had a four person room and there was no space for our luggage. The photos are deceiving. The staff is rude and not interested in helping their guests. There are far too many hotels in Kyoto to settle for this one. We won’t be staying here again.
Shyamli, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are helpful and definitely can communicate with English. The room is really big and clean.
KA YU, 2-night trip

Happy Customer

The Wayfarer was exactly what we needed for the family trip to Kyoto. A clean, modern place to hang our hats as we were out most of the time. That is a great Teppanyaki Bar next door, a Family Mart at the end of the street. The staff were incredibly helpful also. Perfect for our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Love this hotel! We stayed at the Japanese Family room. It was clean and spacious and the decor made us really feel we were in Japan lol. The staff was helpful and friendly. We took bus 50 most of the time but the subway wasn’t that far either.
CHERYLL, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We booked a room with the tatami and it was a unique place to stay! It was very spacious and includes complimentary amenities. Although there was no floor chairs (based on the photos), it was overall an enjoyable stay!
