Fantastic experience
Our stay at Kyoto Higashiyamasou was amazing. The hotel staff were so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were quaint and cosy. The traditional setting was just what we were looking for, a great experience. Overall fantastic would recommend.

My favorite part about this ryokan is that you can visit many landmarks by walking, one of which is Kiyomizu-dera. The ryokan is located within a picturesque part of Kyoto. It's a 20 minute walk from the nearest train and 5 minutes from a bus stop. The staff were nice and understood English. You can request dietary needs for your included traditional breakfast. The breakfast is served at their restaurant and you can choose a time between 7 am and 8:30 am. I didn't realize when reserving our stay that there is no shower in the room, instead there is a shared onsen. You can request a private time slot if you prefer. Overall, the ryokan was a great choice for our historic Kyoto experience.

Amazing staff and great ryokan experience
We stayed for 5 days and the thing that really made our stay were the staff! So lovely, always looking after us and very patient with our kids. We loved the ryokan experience and using the onsen every evening. The location is also great for visiting the town. Thanks again for all the tips, the warm welcome and for looking after us so well.

This hotel is outstanding! The staff were the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever experienced at a hotel. The building itself is very clean and our room offered a stunning view of the Yasaka Pagoda. It is in the perfect location if you wish to visit Kiyomizu-dera. Also, the breakfast was delicious and beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this hotel and if I visit Kyōto again, this is where I will stay.

Perfect Kyoto Experience!
This wonderful ryokan provided the perfect Japanese-style hospitality while we visited Kyoto. Upon arrival we were created by several staff who welcomed us and got us into our slippers and the yukatas they provide all guests (a casual Japanese garment generally worn around the home). The onsen (communal spa) downstairs was a warm treat for our tired tourist bones and again, an interesting Japanese experience. The hotel was actually very quiet and we didn't run into any other guests at the spa or shared bathrooms. The hotels.com website says that there is one futon mattress per room, which caused me some pause when booking but that really should say one mattress per person. Our teenage son wanted a bit more softness so he actually took several mattresses from the room's cupboard and created his own version. We are vegetarians so sometimes meals are a challenge in places like Japan where folks use a lot of meat and fish sauce in most dishes, but their breakfast was a delicious work of art that everyone (including two super picky teenagers) loved (many pictures were taken!). The area is perfect; there are several sites within 5 minutes along with great restaurants and we used the hotel as the starting point for a number of walking tours. When we left, four staff followed us outside to see us off and wish us a pleasant journey. Overall, a really delightful and uniquely Japanese experience for the entire family!

19th Century Kyoto experience!
Wanted to experience a Ryokan, and it was as expected. Entirely different, beautiful Onsen (mineral pool) total Japanese experience, excellent Japanese breakfast, respectful staff. If you have frequent bathroom needs, get a room with its own toilet. Directly in Higashiyamasou (exuding charm). Replicates living in 19th Century Kyoto!

great neighborhood hotel in eastern Kyoto
We stayed just one night, but enjoyed a quiet, restful night and wonderful Japanese breakfast. The manager was informative and helpful (carrying our big suitcases up three stories!) There was a gorgeous view of the hills and Yasaka pagoda out our window. There is only a little English spoken; we are Japanese speakers and found everything easy to deal with. Traditional futons, kept spotlessly clean and fresh. Best ryokan, if a little older, that I've stayed in recently.

Excellent position.
This Ryokan was in an excellent position, close to 4 main temples and beautiful cherry blossom lined streets. The Ryokan was very nice and the staff were good. Nice little touches.

方便，干净，体验日式酒店
地点很好。步行就到许多观光景点。从京都火车站也能搭100巴士然后步行5分钟到酒店。公共厕所和澡堂非常干净。梳洗护肤用品都齐全。非常贴心。但订房时一定要清楚注明人数。我们订了4-9人大房（我们4个大人），但订房网站只显示2人住，结果到了那里还得补少报2大人的一万多日元/人/晚的费用，挺惊人。

方便又乾淨的旅店
離清水寺很近走路約6至7分鐘距離，買伴手禮也離商店街很靠近。晚上則相當安靜，客房服務良好，惟一美中不足的是沒有電梯，還好服務人員會幫忙搬運行李。本次住的房間整潔，但沒有浴室，只能去公共澡堂洗澡。

최악, 가이세키 제공안함
정말 별로였습니다. 어찌되었던지 간에 하루밤 자는데 100만원이나 지불했는데, 보통 료칸과는 달리 저녁 가이세키도 나오지 않았습니다. 기분이 몹시 상했네요. 당연히 포함되어 있는 줄 알았는데요.. 위치가 비교적 관광지랑 인접한 것 빼고는 정말 최악입니다.

這酒店的溫泉太細小了, 只可供2名客人同時使用, 對不相熟者來不太合宜.未有房內的獨立廁所及洗澡地方很不方便, 房間很大, 但沒有甚麼設施, WIFI也只有在大廳才可以使, 叫人滿意的是員工很好的服務態度, 精美的早餐,及很接近清水寺 但總的來說價格也太貴了,並非物有所值
