What guests think
Travellers describe Matsui Honkan as a traditional ryokan with warm, attentive hospitality, spacious tatami rooms, and a very central yet quiet location, complemented by clean public baths and highly praised kaiseki-style meals served with thoughtful touches.
Several guests highlighted considerate gestures such as welcome refreshments, daily gifts, and smooth baggage forwarding. Rooms follow classic futon-and-tatami layouts; some noted limited storage and a room that felt too warm and dry overnight. Feedback also mentions a small, compact bath area, occasional housekeeping or maintenance lapses, and a rare service misstep during a reservation dispute; a few found set meals lengthy or on the pricey side. Overall, expect a gracious, centrally located ryokan stay with authentic touches.

Our stay at Matsui Honkan was truly unforgettable—one of the most special experiences we had in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived early to drop off our bags, the staff treated us with such kindness. We were welcomed with cool towels and paddle fans—such a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day! When we returned to check in, we were seated in the lobby and served drinks with snacks while the staff explained everything with care—from breakfast service to the onsen. It felt more like a warm welcome than just checking in. One of our favorite surprises? The daily giveaway gifts in cute Japanese drawstring bags. It made us smile every time and showed how much they cared about the little details. Breakfast was a highlight—Kaiseki-style meals delivered to our room each morning, beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The servers were so kind and respectful—it made our mornings feel calm and special. Our room was spacious, clean, and traditionally styled with tatami mats and a private bathroom—perfect for our family of four. We loved wearing the provided yukata and winding down in the public bath, which had separate areas for men and women. The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back!

施設自体はそこまで大きくなく、温泉もこじんまりとしたものでした。朝夕の食事付きプランを利用いたしましたが、全体的に少しお値段は高く感じました。 しかし、立地等を考えると仕方がないようにも思えました。 何よりもスタッフの方々のご対応が非常に良く、浴衣に関することで少しトラブルがありましたが早急にご対応していただけました。 また忘れ物をし後日お電話をさせていただいた際も、非常にスムーズなご対応で郵送にて送っていただけました。 これらのサービスの丁寧さを考えるとお値段も妥当ではないかと感じることができました。 とても楽しい旅行となりました。ありがとうございました。

Es un ryokan muy cómodo. cerca del centro pero en un lugar con muy tranquilo. se puede llegar caminando al centro sin problema. El onsen está muy limpio. las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas (para el estándar japonés). El personal, si no tienes ningún problema, son muy amables, pero nosotros tuvimos un problema en la reserva. En nuestra reserva ponía una cosa y en la suya otra y fueron bastante groseros, casi como insinuando que nos queríamos colar. Muy mala experiencia en ese aspecto. Cuando se dieron cuenta de que no tenían razón, no hubo ni un lo siento, ni una disculpa. Pero por lo demás, el ryokan está muy bien.

Lovely Ryokan hotel. We spent 2 nights and could enjoy great and unforgettable experiences. Room with Tatami floor was spacious and clean and we had slept perfectly well. Hotel staff was lovely and friendly. Thank you very much. Food was brilliant. Hot bathroom in the basement used to refresh and relax. Great location to discover Kyoto. We were totally happy for such fantastic experience.

Probably one of my best hospitality experiences ever. The service was excellent and the room was bigger than I thought, as well as very clean. They prepared some small care packages for every guest of our group with hygiene and care products, which i thought very thoughtful. Our room had extra blankets and pillows, which was practical. The breakfast is beyond amazing - as beautiful as it is delicious. The only thing is regret is that although we turned off the heating system, the room was still very hot and dry during the night (outside was cold), to the point that we had trouble sleeping.

Basic ryokan situated in the heart of Kyoto, perfect location with lots around. However, the room was not the cleanest. We found a messy, unfolded duvet thrown in the closet and a few strands of hair in the bedding. Assuming the duvet was used by the previous guest and not folded by housekeeping after guests checked out.

The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back!

施設自体はそこまで大きくなく、温泉もこじんまりとしたものでした。朝夕の食事付きプランを利用いたしましたが、全体的に少しお値段は高く感じました。 しかし、立地等を考えると仕方がないようにも思えました。 何よりもスタッフの方々のご対応が非常に良く、浴衣に関することで少しトラブルがありましたが早急にご対応していただけました。 また忘れ物をし後日お電話をさせていただいた際も、非常にスムーズなご対応で郵送にて送っていただけました。 これらのサービスの丁寧さを考えるとお値段も妥当ではないかと感じることができました。 とても楽しい旅行となりました。ありがとうございました。

Es un ryokan muy cómodo. cerca del centro pero en un lugar con muy tranquilo. se puede llegar caminando al centro sin problema. El onsen está muy limpio. las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas (para el estándar japonés). El personal, si no tienes ningún problema, son muy amables, pero nosotros tuvimos un problema en la reserva. En nuestra reserva ponía una cosa y en la suya otra y fueron bastante groseros, casi como insinuando que nos queríamos colar. Muy mala experiencia en ese aspecto. Cuando se dieron cuenta de que no tenían razón, no hubo ni un lo siento, ni una disculpa. Pero por lo demás, el ryokan está muy bien.

Our stay at Matsui Honkan was truly unforgettable—one of the most special experiences we had in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived early to drop off our bags, the staff treated us with such kindness. We were welcomed with cool towels and paddle fans—such a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day! When we returned to check in, we were seated in the lobby and served drinks with snacks while the staff explained everything with care—from breakfast service to the onsen. It felt more like a warm welcome than just checking in. One of our favorite surprises? The daily giveaway gifts in cute Japanese drawstring bags. It made us smile every time and showed how much they cared about the little details. Breakfast was a highlight—Kaiseki-style meals delivered to our room each morning, beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The servers were so kind and respectful—it made our mornings feel calm and special. Our room was spacious, clean, and traditionally styled with tatami mats and a private bathroom—perfect for our family of four. We loved wearing the provided yukata and winding down in the public bath, which had separate areas for men and women. The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back!

Lovely Ryokan hotel. We spent 2 nights and could enjoy great and unforgettable experiences. Room with Tatami floor was spacious and clean and we had slept perfectly well. Hotel staff was lovely and friendly. Thank you very much. Food was brilliant. Hot bathroom in the basement used to refresh and relax. Great location to discover Kyoto. We were totally happy for such fantastic experience.

Matsui Honkan is our first experience at Ryokan. It was a fantastic stay. The staff were supper friendly. The served breakfast and dinner were not only delicious but also looked great in the presentation. The location of the property is excellent. Nishiki Market, Kawaramachi Street, Pontocho Alley are all within minutes of walking distance. I would recommend anyone who would like to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan.
