This if the first Ryokan I have ever stayed in so I have nothing to compare my experience to besides one of the other hotels I stayed at while visiting Japan for the first time. With that in mind, I can definitely say that the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi was my favorite stay by far. The entire experience was completely different from a normal hotel. The Japanese breakfasts each morning were an added bonus and this is coming from someone that is a little picky about what I eat (I did my best to be adventurous in Japan which is what I would also recommend to anyone visiting). The housekeeping and staff were amazingly nice and helpful. The place was very clean and besides having to get used to a different style of bed, I thought the stay was better than I could have expected. I don't know if other Ryokans are any better than the Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi but I can safely say that you won't be disappointed in your stay here. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to my next trip back so I can stay here again.

Stayed one night at this hotel for the Japanese experience and it was amazing. Booked with breakfast and dinner included. The food was spectacular and as a true Ryokan they offered hot baths for guests to relax in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this experience.

This was our first stay at a Ryokan and it was a fabulous experience for us. Everything about our stay was wonderful, beginning with a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived to a fun send-off when we departed the next day. Everyone on staff was incredibly kind and patient with us as we quickly learned the nuances of staying at a Ryokan. The dinner and breakfast were both outstanding as was the service and our room and futon beds were impeccably clean and comfortable. We would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this wonderful accomodation to anyone seeking a fabulous Ryokan experience.

We had an excellent stay at the Matsui Bekkan. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Breakfast every morning was a feast. We would highly recommend this hotel for folks looking for a foreigner-friendly traditional Japanese experience!

Property described as ryokan but was not as immersive or tranquil as I was hoping for. Breakfast was traditional and ok. Dinner might have been better as it was served in-room but we unfortunately did not get that included. Room amenities were nice.
Although the property was a little dated, it was clean and well maintained.
Do not book if you’re not a fan of “big lights”. Iykyk.
Service was superb, everyone very friendly and accommodating.

The property was amazing! It was very traditional Japanese but also fully modern! The atmosphere was amazing, very peaceful and welcoming. LOVED the authentic room with tatami mats and robes. It was very spacious and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. I loved the traditional tea provided upon arrival. The included breakfast was delicious! Loved having use of the Sento in the basement. That felt amazing after walking all over Kyoto! Perfect, central location as well. Easy access to the train station, or for walking to the city center. Ubers and taxis were very easy to find as well.

This property was incredible! An awesome place to experience a traditional Japanese inn experience. Food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff was super accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of - our stay was rainy, but they went out of their way to ensure we had umbrellas and helped us dry out our shoes after a wet day of sightseeing. Amazing hospitality and would gladly stay here again.

The stay at the Bekkan was amazing. The service was superb, the location was convenient to local restaurants and attractions (but far enough that it is quiet), and the room was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would not hesitate for another stay when we return to Kyoto!

Absolutely LOVED this place!!! The whole staff was friendly and accommodating. I was with my 90 yr old mom and they were so nice to her.
If you are looking for a Japanese experience with rooms and food, this is it.
Had breakfast and dinner there- breakfast is not a buffet, but a lot of different items to keep you full for the day.
The dinner included seasonal items and was delicious!!
It is also close to shopping and touristy areas.
Will definitely stay there again!!!!

Great location. The staff are what make this property special. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and feel welcome. Great people, property and location. I would definitely stay here again. Rooms are well appointed with everything you might need.
10.0
Their hospitality was exceptional and cannot be beat. This is the best experience I've had at a foreign accommodation, a perfect balance between remaining cultural but still welcoming to foreigners. The location is really close to nishiki market and some of the best shopping and dining in Kyoto. We were also able to get to Fushimi inari by karasuma oike and Jr nara line which was a life saver because it was raining and there were no cabs at 7am.
4.0
It was a nice short stay with just a couple of nights. I do however feel that the rooms are pricey and a bit of a walk (10-15 minutes) from main road and attractions.
Noise was also evident from other rooms.
The room was however spacious and staff very courteous and experienced the Japanese hospitality first hand. If I were to however take a second trip, I would choose another ryokan closer to Gion.
5.0
Despite the language barrier, the staff was incredibly hospitable and very warm/kind. Little gestures and greetings, welcome drink, small gifts and smiles made this property very welcoming. Great Onsen and location to walk for meals and shopping.

I had a very enjoyable four-night stay in Matsui Bekkan Hanakanzashi. The staff was super friendly, considerate, and helpful. On the day of Gion Festival Parade, they even prepared us a small package with cold drink, sweat towel, and uchiwa inside. The room was sparkling clean and spacious. The location was beyond excellent! The neighborhood was quiet and lovely, and it was very easy to get to the main attractions from the hotel.

The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much effort for them. The hotel was so cool, I felt we didn’t deserve to be there. I need to find an excuse to stay there again. Loved it!
