Loved our stay here at the Kyoto Ryokan Shoei. Everything was perfect here was perfect and the staff was exceptional. There was something here for the whole family to enjoy.

Ryokan Shoei rooms are lovely and bright. The staff are amazing and speak English.
I found sleeping on the floor on a thin mattress uncomfortable as I have a neck problem, but they gave me a topper and I was much more comfortable.
I had a great massage as well and would recommend.
Please note that there are no dining options other than in the hotel and it’s a 8-10 min walk to the train station & one stop from Kyoto Station. which we found slightly inconvenient.
But it’s quiet and clean with great facilities, including an onsen.
This was a very unique experience. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very helpful. It is a little far from the main attractions but there are several buses and a JR station not too far away. Because of the distance you get a quiet residential feel. I would stay here again
Nice and cosy ryokan accessible by train from Kyoto station and walking. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, accessible by bus to main shopping streets where Nishiki market and Daimaru are. Reasonably priced ryokan with meal arrangement optional so we need not pay high price for the stay like in some ryokans. However we still chose to have our dinners at the restaurant on-site as the food was nice and priced reasonably. The onsen was great, there were indoor hot pools with jacuzzi, saunas and outdoor pools on the rooftop. Staff at the reception were able to speak English so asking for info is easy.
Hotel was clean and comfortable.
Public bath was very nice. Even the showers are on the larger side (I’m 280 pounds and 5’10” and the shower was perfectly fine)
The water in the shower was a little inconsistent. It would fluctuate between hotter and colder throughout the shower, but that’s a really minor thing.
There was only one staff member at the front desk, and English support was a little inconsistent. I think if they had more than one person working the front desk, that might help. Hotels in Tokyo did that.
The hotel is in the middle of a bunch of houses so it can take a bit to get from the station to the hotel.
Overall I enjoyed the experience. These are just nitpicks to be aware of.
