Oyado Ishicho

Stayed here for only a night. The room was spacious and it was my first time staying in a traditional room. Fit 4 people into one room. Also my first experience in onsen. Japanese style/teishoku breakfast was delicious. Convenient location with konbini nearby. Looks quite old.

My husband and I had a great stay with our kids (13 and 9). The futons were very comfortable, I slept like a baby. The room temperature was adjustable, which I liked. The room comes with an electric kettle and staff provided a large (family-sized) bottle of spring water and green tea bags every day. The front desk staff were kind and helpful. We had breakfast daily. While my picky 9 year old preferred pastry from the bakery up the road, the rest of us enjoyed such a tasty, hearty start to the day, with a combination every day of fresh, cold foods like sushi, pickles, and smoked fish, along with hot rice, soup, and a warm entree. The ladies who served breakfast were lovely. The only con I can think of is that the in-room bath looked a bit tired/dated, but it was clean, the water was hot, and the water pressure was strong, so obviously not a big con. The location is great, we walked everywhere. We would absolutely stay there again.

Very attentive staff but feels old and run down. Weird hotel layout as well. There are better places to stay in Kyoto.
