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.

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

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.

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.

Very loud hotel, lot's of noise from other rooms, flushing etc and can hear everything from the corridors. Extremely hard bed! Feels like it is just built which i guess is good but felt very sterile.
The restaurant next door is amazing though! Not the hotel but well worth visiting.

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.

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!

A lovely little hotel around 20 minutes walk from Kyoto station. It was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to store our cases with them on the day we left so we could have an extra day around Kyoto
