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.
Hailey, 4-night trip

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.

Mayerline, 1-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

10/10 Exceptional

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

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

8/10 Very good

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

6/10 Good

Only issue we had on our stay was that there were doing construction work near by. We could hear the jackhammer that was incredibly loud and shock the apartment from 8am to 5pm. Everything else was great.
Christian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room a bit dirty. The walls had a lot of stains, and the bathroom floor wasn’t quite clean.

Quiet & clean place. Little distance for shipping & dining.

Roomy but not as comfortable
Karl-Johan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a sick kid and wanted to check in ahead. It is often hard with Japanese establishments but not with this hotel 🛏️! They let me check in without any hesitation but with a smile 😊 The room was huge and comfy. The staff are super nice with multilingual skills. Family Mart is nearby for your breakfast and Toto Stand is must if you love Uni! This will be my home in Kyoto for the next trip.
yomi, 3-night trip

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.
